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.

Yannick, our server was absolutely amazing. He explained the menu & guided us through a wonderful meal. He was attentive & hardworking taking care of the entire restaurant with no other help from front of house staff like a stud. The Al pastor & Baja fish tacos were amazing. We were here on a Wednesday for lunch. A must try!

Wow, quel beau service de la part du gérant Yannick & de notre serveuse Catherine !

On a vraiment aimé nos expériences, Catherine donne de bonnes recommendations pour les drinks & les tacos sont vraiment un coup de coeur.

Enplus, la guacamole faite maison est vraiment une belle découverte, je recommande!

Nice small place for cocktails & tacos. Relax ambiance, great music playlist. Service was friendly, tacos were good but choices are limited. I will definitely go back, especially for the delicious birria beef tacos. Margarita drinks were really good & lets not forget the tasty guacamole dip, so yummy!!

Great spot for food & drinks. Tacos were on point & we've had tacos in different US states & countries. Margaritas were delicious too. On the small side but the food & drinks made up for it! 100% recommended.

Great spot for Mexican food if you're in the Old Port Area! The guacamole is made at your table right in front of you, delicious tacos & margaritas. Servers were friendly & attentive.

Excellents tacos aux crevettes & aux poissons. Guacamole fait à la table aussi excellent, mais bcp trop cher à 19$. Service chaleureux mais un peu lent en raison de l'achalandage.

Came in on New year's eve & got forced into a 70$ meal that was very disappointed. The tortilla chips were very inconsistent with some of them being fresh & the others being stale & nearly breaking my teeth but at least the tabble side guacamole was good. The portions in the appetizer & the main meal was very small & the meat was so tough & overcoocked, they probably used the cheapest cut of beef there is on the market, but the presentation was good. The sea food salad was fresh but very simple. At least the desserts were generous.

We had 3 amazing meals in Old Montreal & this was one. Tacos outstanding. Ceviche is perfect ( we went back again to get it to go). Not a lot of folks there so service was great.

The staff were extremely friendly & accommodating, & the food was flavorful & on point. What a great little spot! I can't wait to be back to try a few of the other menu options.

Excellente nourriture , excellent service. Nous y étions pour célébrer l'anniversaire de mon copain. Nous avons partager la fameuse guacamole & le ceviche en entrée, puis nous avons chacun pris des tacos. Le terre & mer est de loin le meilleur que j'ai mangé à vie!! Les cocktails y sont aussi très bons. Le seul défaut de l'endroit est qu'il fait très froid. Nous avons fini par manger avec nos manteaux sur le dos…
