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.

Lovely patio during the summer, & the birria tacos were delicious! The guac was a bit too sour though in my opinion. Regardless, would visit again :)

Overall good, don't be fooled by pitchers of cocktails. Only received 3 margaritas in a pitcher & paid $75 when 3 single ones would cost $48

Clémence a été une serveuse absolument parfaite ! Son professionnalisme était vraiment impressionnant & elle s'est entièrement démenée pour s'assurer que nous soyons exceptionnellement bien servis tout au long de notre expérience culinaire.

Dès notre arrivée, Clémence a fait preuve d'une attention remarquable aux détails & d'un véritable souci de notre confort. Elle a anticipé nos besoins, nous a fourni d'excellentes recommandations, & a maintenu l'équilibre parfait entre attention & discrétion. Sa personnalité chaleureuse & son expertise professionnelle ont rendu notre repas vraiment mémorable.

J'espère sincèrement avoir le plaisir d'être servi par Clémence lors de notre prochaine visite - elle est exactement le type de serveuse qui rend une expérience au restaurant extraordinaire. L'établissement a la chance d'avoir un membre d'équipe aussi dévoué & compétent.

Je recommande vivement de demander Clémence si vous voulez un service impeccable qui dépasse toutes les attentes !

Excellent service de Clémenceau, nourriture excellente. Seul point, musique un peu forte.

Les tacos porc-pieuvre, ont un goût de gras seulement, l'huile coulait dans le tacos.
C'etait pas à la hauteur du groupe Balam.
C'est si excellent au Royalmount.

Taco Tuesday deal is good but the service was slooooooooowwwww!!!!! The vegetarian tacos to us tasted pretty funky so we didn't eat them & they are part of the 8 tacos you get. The guac is great but pricey for not the biggest amount

La bouffe est incroyable
Clémence la serveuse était A++++++
Nous sommes arrivés un dimanche soir, la terrasse était bondée, Clémence était la seule serveuse & TOUJOURS nous avons eu un excellent & rapide service. Par contre, il est necessaire de mentionner que Yannick, le gérant a un manque de professionalisme flagrant & il est vulgaire avec son staff

I had the Birria with the sauce & it was AH-mazing!! I opted to stay inside as it was less crowded. The service was top as well, so good. I also had the mojito which was great too. 10/10.

Les cocktails sont très bons mais les tacos sont décevants. La guacamole manque de sel & est petite pour le prix. Le taco au boeuf braisé est excellent, mais le taco al Pastor est sec & sans saveur. Les churros sont délicieux par contre & la portion est généreuse !

Went here for a 5 a 7. This placed used to be much better when it first opened. We got the guac - came with a huge portion but certainly not enough chips so half of it went to waste.

The tacos came in like 10 minutes & were lukewarm at best. I got the birria tacos & they were okay.

All in all it was fine. Certainly not the best tacos in the city, but decent for the area.

Nous avons pris des tacos & ils étaient excellents. Le service était aussi parfait. Je recommande & nous y retournerons

The tacos were very small & were just ok. The guacamole starter didn't come out until we were half done our tacos, & I found it bland. There also weren't enough chips. The churros were definitely my favourite part of the meal, & they are probably the only thing I would return for.
