It can be hard to find excellent Mexican food, & Montreal wouldn't have been my first guess. Yet here it is, excellent dinner, great atmosphere & kind staff.

I ordered the quesabirria tacos which were fantastic. I didn't even use the dip the flavor was so good.

To drink I had the fun Coco Loco, a rum lovers delight. True the pineapple only was carved out 60% of the way down so the'glass' ended up a little shorter than I dreamed of, but it was fun & delicious.

Eating there live, the QR menu differs from the online one..... I wanted tacos with arroz y frijoles'rice & beans'...I was told that they don't have that here. A Mexican restaurant without rice or beans? I'm half Cuban & I feel embarrassed.

Drinks were good. But I can find good drinks anywhere in Montreal. My issue with this place was the service was poor & the attitude of the waitress was beyond rude. Do yourself a favor & go to Nomai, which is next door. If you're in the mood for Mexican, visit Three Amigos on Rue Saint Jacques which is within walking distance & where they have great food & amazing service!

Food was absolutely amazing. Guacamole made tableside, delicious tacos, & an awesome quesadilla. My friend & I could have shared either the tacos or the quesadilla & it would have been plenty to eat after the guacamole. The cocktails were exquisite-Mexican Mule & French 75.
I marked it down just a bit in service because the woman who took our drink order never returned & after about half an hour we got the waiter's attention to order our food. Also the atmosphere was mostly good but it's very small & kind of noisy. I would go back again in a heartbeat for the food & drink!

La Catrina in Old Montreal serves lively, authentic Mexican cuisine with generous portions & bright flavors. We were a party of eight & every dish impressed someone at the table, from the smoky salsas to the perfectly seasoned tacos. Friendly service, a warm atmosphere, & steady pacing between courses made it a great spot for a relaxed group meal.

Best al pastor tacos I've had in a while! Along with a red sangria it was delicious. The service was very friendly & professional, my waitress Quarina was the best, so kind, attentive & respectful plus she did very good with her spanish! I asked if she spoke spanish (since it's a mexican restaurant & other two waiters spoke spanish) & she impressed me so much speaking on spanish as well!
