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.
This is authentic Mexican food & it's amazingly delicious!! We ordered the beef brisket tacos & the fried chicken tacos. Everything was made to PERFECTION! The atmosphere & environment is clean & welcoming. Thank you to our waitress Catherine! She was amazing & so friendly!
Lovely place, great service, but very long wait to receive our food (over 1h for tacos & octopus). Very tasty though. Drink were ok, need to refine their margaritas, it's not made with real lime juice.... not consistent either & expensive, but I guess that's what you paid in the old port.
Mon plat de tacos au poisson frit était vraiment délicieux, mais l'assiette est petite. Au sous-sol, les petites lampes de table ont manqué de batterie, donc on était dans l'obscurité une grande partie de la soirée.
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.

Very nice place with an atmospheric underground bar. Classy margaritas, enjoyable tacos, & on the first floor, a Port-Side view. Definitely a stop to make.
Second time coming to this Catrina location. Highly recommend the shrimp & fish tacos !! They make the guacamole in front of the table which is fun but depending which waiter you get the taste varies. Be sure to watch & tell them what you like (more salt, less spice, extra onions etc etc).
I nice place to eat & the service is very nice (perfectly bilingual) however the food is very average. I paid 25 dollars for 5 different small tacos & I would say that only one was really good while the others were bland.
Went here for a date & the staff was genuinely friendly, even though our waiter changed during the night. The food was excellent-highly recommend the shrimp tacos; they were phenomenal! ⭐️ Located in the old port, the restaurant space is quite small, but this turned out to be an advantage since it wasn't crowded the time we went & it allowed us to truly enjoy the cozy vibes in the lounge area. 🍸

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!
Overall very happy. Would consider returning. Thanks!
-Churros were delicious but a bit pricy.
-Taco portions & quality were great for the price.
-I like that the decor is simple & not too cluttered.

Our waitress / bartender downstairs at NYE was such a sweetheart. Amazing service, her drinks were delicious & made in a blink of an eye! Thank you for a beautiful night!
