Review Summary

La Catrina delivers a lively Mexican dining experience with bright flavors, generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere. The table side guacamole, flavorful tacos including birria and al pastor, fresh salsas, and tasty margaritas are frequent highlights, and the terrace or dining room setting keeps the energy upbeat. Service is described as friendly and attentive, helping the group-friendly vibe and steady pacing that keeps meals enjoyable. While a few visits note occasional wait times or price-related concerns, the overall impression is that La Catrina is a go-to spot for delicious food, vibrant ambiance, and reliable hospitality.

Wonderful date night at the Mile End location in February. The service, food & cocktails far exceeded our expectations. All of the recommendations from Sandy were spot on. The excellent service she provided made our experience even more enjoyable. Fresh ingredients, creative cocktails, great atmosphere & impecible service will make us repeat patrons.

This place has an incredible staff, very professional & super friendly. They make an insane guacamole 🥑 prepared table side. The cocktails are amazing 🍹 & they offer choices of tequila & mezcal in their signature cocktails.

Bouffe excellente, cocktail très bons.
Il faudrait seulement ajuster le service en conséquence des réservations. Dans le sens où si il y 2h entre les réservations, il ne faut pas avoir un service lent pendant 1h45 & ensuite mettre de la pression pour qu'on quitte.
Outre ça, excellent restaurant

Petit resto vraiment sympathique. Le service est excellent & l'ambiance parfaite. La musique était bonne sans toutefois être trop forte. Les tacos étaient délicieux. L'assiette dégustation est un must Seul.petit point plus négatif le prix des cocktails était un peu élevé selon moi.

We were lucky to find this awesome place in the old Port for dinner & drinks. First off, the cocktails are excellent. They have a good choice of sweet or sour options & both the ones we tried are elevated even with foam! The starter we had was incredible & unique. Highly recommend trying out the Esquites! For our mains we had the taco tasting platter, which included 5 different tacos. This was perfect for us as my partner does not eat meat. I had the beef brisket & pulled pork - both were fantastic. I preferred the beef more as it was so tender & tasty. We finished off with the classic churros. Perfect end to a fabulous meal. These were fresh, warm & soft on the inside. The caramel sauce wasn't too sweet, which is perfect for me. Overall this place is so. So good. They prepare fresh guac at your table & the ambience in the restaurant is excellent for a date night. Highly recommended!

Went as a group for Christmas event. Service was very slow for drinks all night, their cocktails looked really good though. Food was tasty, but portions were small. Like... really small. The group menu is fixed price, with one beer & tips: 73$. Guac to share first, one small shrimp tostada (great flavour) & two tacos. The beef quesadilla was even smaller. Not sure where the hype is.

Great place for tacos, with great food & really delicious cocktails. Guacamole made right infront of you fresh is by far the best way to start your dinner.

Une expérience MTL à table qui m'a fait découvrir un restaurant où je ne retournerai pas malheureusement 😅 la bouffe très très bof. Les cocktails pas mal. La déco est correcte. Mais on s'entend qu'on va au resto pour bien manger - chose que je n'ai pas faite ce soir. Dommage..

la nourriture n'était pas exceptionnel, le service était long, mais le serveur était très bon. J'ai commandé un cocktail à 15$ sur le menu & vous me l'avez chargé 20$ quand j'ai demandé pourquoi le serveur m'a dit que c'était le prix pour le refill, mais a aucun moment c'est précisé sur le
Menu. Bref, trop cher pour ce que c'est & pas exceptionnel!
