Reviews consistently highlight La Catrina as a lively, welcoming spot in Old Montreal where table side guacamole steals the show and a wide array of tacos from birria to al pastor and fish delivers bold flavors. Margaritas and other drinks are frequently praised, with standout options like spicy margaritas and sangria, while portions are generally generous and good value for the area. The atmosphere earns high marks for vibrancy, colorful decor and a terrace that feels perfect for groups and families, with attentive service that many describe as friendly and efficient even when busy. A few notes about pace and occasional menu differences surface, but diners consistently leave with positive impressions about the food quality, authentic Mexican flavors and the lively experience La Catrina offers.
Cette année, pas de menu spécial pour la St-Valentin. La nourriture était aussi plutôt décevante. La ceviche était très salée & l'arrachera vraiment dure, immangeable.
Restaurant vraiment sympa, le guacamole est vraiment bon, les cocktails & mocktails sont incroyables, les tacos sont bons mais sans plus & vraiment compliqués à manger. Service vraiment long dû à un manque de personnel, mais serveuse au top.
First time dining here & it won't be our last. Food was amazing, you need to experience the table side made guacamole! Service was great, can't wait to return in July.
This was our second time visiting this place - last year we dined in, & this time we ordered the al pastor again for take out. Last year, it was much tastier & just all-around better. We noticed a difference in the way they cut the pork & pineapple: last year, they served nice, big, juicy chunks, but this year the pork was finely chopped & a bit dry. Even though it was a little dry, it was still good, & we would probably visit again.
J'étais samedi soir & nous avons commandé le menu de Montréal à la table & un ceviche. Mon ceviche a mis 40 minutes à arriver, même si je l'ai vu au bar, la servette l'a apporté tard. La même chose s'est produite avec les enchiladas, mes amis & moi les avons vues sur le bar & elles ont mis du temps à arriver. Nous voulions les prendre mais nous ne l'avons pas fait car les serveuses avaient l'air saturées.
November 8th, 2025 we went to have supper the service was not friendly by this waitress who inpatient & very unprofessional!
Please think twice before going to this restaurant. Food not the best !
Ordered the vegetarian quesadilla with huitlacoche. On the menu, it was listed as a starter, & I thought I'd have to order more food to complete my lunch. But it was such a generous portion, I could not eat any more. & it was delicious! The server was very courteous, too. Would love to come back on my next trip to Montreal

J'ai été avec un ami & je n'ai pas été déçu. Les prix sont bons pour la quantité, le service est vraiment bien. La guacamole est preparé devant nous a coté de notre table, c'est super comme attention.
