La Catrina restaurant in the Old Port is now one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal! The guacamole made directly at our table by our lovely waitress was the best I ever tasted & the fried chicken tacos were delicious. I'll be back soon for sure.

Always love the food, was a bit disappointed that the Fried Chicken & Burrata's ingredients were changed. I remember the first time it was SO spicy & so good, now it doesn't have any spice at all. Still really good.

Thought it was strange that no Spanish music was playing in a Mexican restaurant, instead they were blasting Sean Mendes... A bit weird.

Will come back for sure!

We arrived at night without an appointment, it was rainy but they we're able to set us a table for three outside. The food was great, the drinks were amazing, only the service was a little slow, probably because they were not expecting to have tables outside due to the rain. However I definitely will go back.

We made a same day reservation & got right in. It is located in the old port in a beautiful old building. The place is very small. When we came in, there was a table of probably 7 people being super loud & obnoxious. It’s not the restaurants fault, but that took away from the atmosphere.

I ordered a spicy mango “Catrina” margarita which was all spice & no alcohol.

My poblano soup, in addition to being beautiful to look at was creamy & delicious. My fish tacos were fresh & flavorful, but my plate was chipped. Not a big deal, but I wouldn’t serve food to a gust in a chipped plate.

Overall, it’s a good spot for a snack & a drink, before you head to dinner.

Visited the place with colleagues for dinner. The restaurant is located very close to Montreal Port area.

Staff is amazing & food is really delicious. The staff offer Guacamole with chips. It was too good. There is good vegetarian options available & I loved the tacos with cabbage. You can not miss Churros as it was too good.

Washrooms are located in the basement so not a good option for people with special need.

Servers were nice, we (5) ate outside & there were 2 ppl serving. Asked for the guacamole at the table came 45 min later no chips had to ask for the chips. Drinks were good. Ordered food but when we finished the guacamole they asked if we wanted dessert without having gotten our meal. 10 min later we were served. Nothing inspiring, ordered the brisket tacos & they lacked flavour. Had to ask for salsa. The fried chicken tacos was over done & that too lacked flavour. Not sure how they got 4+ stars for the price they charge. Good ambiance & drinks but that was it.
