La Catrina offers a warm, vibrant vibe with generous portions and standout items like tableside guacamole and flavorful tacos, plus tasty cocktails and margaritas; guests consistently praise friendly service and a lively atmosphere that works well for groups, family dinners, or a relaxed patio experience, making it a memorable stop in the Old Port.
Imagine a cozy little bistro tucked away on a street corner, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee & sizzling bacon welcomes you like an old friend. This is the kind of place where great conversations are not just encouraged, but practically inevitable. My wife & I had passed by this area several times in the last few weeks & it's always been crowded & there's line up & today was different, & we took a chance to sit down & grab a cold one. The star of the evening is undoubtedly the Tacos Tasting Platter. As you savor each bite, you find yourself drawn into deep discussions about life, love, & everything in between, surrounded by the warm glow of night. In this enchanting culinary haven, every dish serves as a catalyst for connection & camaraderie. We had one of the more deep converstations as we both look back on what year we had in the last 12 months. Being here in Montreal was not on our list to do, nor living in Old Montreal. Much thanks to the staff of this establishment, for they made our night wonderful.
The service was sooo good! James sat us during their close, set up our table, & even recommended us drinks which were amazing. Jesse was our server, he did not rush us even though the kitchen was closing, he checked up on us frequently! Amazing service, definitely coming again!
We were there just before the kitchen closed but we were welcomed & were not rushed at all which we really appreciated. Jesse was our server & was very nice & James is who set our tables & also gave us some recommendations & we think he should become a server asap!!! Will be back soon!
My wife & I dined here on a Saturday evening. The food was very good, & we loved the guacamole made fresh at the table. The atmosphere was busy & the music loud (with a live DJ on the patio).
Un des meilleurs resto que j'ai mangé depuis très longtemps! Le rapport qualité/ prix est juste incroyable & que dire de la serveuse qui confectionne la guacamole maison devant nous & qui est juste délicieuse, l'assiette de dégustation de tacos & des churros pour dessert. Un orgasme des papilles gustatives. 5/5⭐️👌🏻

My wife & I are in town visiting from Oklahoma. I saw the drink pictures looked fabulous here on Maps, along with outdoor seating. We were going to the Museum & Notre Dame, so we decided to stop here & give it a try. It did not disappoint. My wife had the chicken tacos. These are fried, with a watermelon, tomato & onion chutney with a honey drizzle. Come on, man. Who would have put that together? Wow, scrumptious. I had the beef tacos. They come with fresh onion & a tomatio salsa. Tender & juicy My wife had the Margarita & I had a La Chita beer & a Coco Loco. Refreshing & delicious.
La nourriture était délicieuse!! La Quacamole est un must, elle est faite à notre table. J'ai pris des tacos au crevette grillée, tellement bon, je ne regrette pas d'en avoir pris 4. & nous avons partagé le dessert, des Churos, ils fondaient dans la bouche. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant. En plus la serveuse était très gentille & les prix sont vraiment bien.
Beautiful drinks & amazing authentic Mexican food , service is a1 recommended girls night . If you go ask for sandy , Florence, lily, or Yannick you will not be disappointed they have amazing energy & give the best service in all of vieux mtl. The margaritas are a must 😍😈

The dining area exudes a captivating aesthetic, creating the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable meal. The staff's impeccable manners & attentiveness elevate the dining experience to new heights. From the first bite to the last, the food delights the senses with its exceptional flavors & presentation.
Food was ok but overpriced , drinks were good, service was not great, they asked us to move downstairs so they could accommodate a large group, even if we had made arrangements beforehand, & downstairs was underwhelming & smelly.
Très bon restaurant ! Ambiance vraiment superbe ! Nous étions au Lounge (18+) en bas & nous avons aimé ! La décoration est superbe ! & la nourriture est très très bonne ! Par contre, un peu cher pour le peu de nourriture que nous avons eu. (100$ pour deux drinks, guacamole & 3 minis tacos chaques) dommage mais ça n'a pas pour autant gâché notre soirée !
A lovely little restaurant with a nice beer garden. They were not ready for the busy day but at the end it was a great experience, even with the kids. Will come back.
