La Catrina propose une ambiance chaleureuse et vivante avec des portions généreuses et des plats phares comme le guacamole préparé à table et des tacos savoureux, sans oublier des cocktails et margaritas très appréciés; le service est généralement sympathique et l'atmosphère animée convient aux groupes, aux dîners en famille ou à une expérience détendue sur la terrasse, ce qui en fait une étape mémorable dans le Vieux-Port de Montréal.
Went here for a quick drink & dinner with my friend! Super cool ambience -there's a downstairs where the bar is, that has a speakeasy type vibe & a massiveee terrace - cant wait to try it out this summer! Our waitress was Lili - she was super sweet, & made me a great mocktail!
Unfortunately there were some other clients in the restaurant that were mistreating her & even began to raise their voices (embarrassing for grown women) but Lili remained calm & handled the situation well despite their bad attitudes.
Drinks were good. But I can find good drinks anywhere in Montreal. My issue with this place was the service was poor & the attitude of the waitress was beyond rude. Do yourself a favor & go to Nomai, which is next door. If you're in the mood for Mexican, visit Three Amigos on Rue Saint Jacques which is within walking distance & where they have great food & amazing service!

Food was absolutely amazing. Guacamole made tableside, delicious tacos, & an awesome quesadilla. My friend & I could have shared either the tacos or the quesadilla & it would have been plenty to eat after the guacamole. The cocktails were exquisite-Mexican Mule & French 75.
I marked it down just a bit in service because the woman who took our drink order never returned & after about half an hour we got the waiter's attention to order our food. Also the atmosphere was mostly good but it's very small & kind of noisy. I would go back again in a heartbeat for the food & drink!
The drinks were genuinely good, which is the only reason this isn't one star. Service was a different story. We tried multiple times to get our server's attention & were ignored. When she finally came over, she yelled at us. When we raised it while paying, her response was that she yelled because we had been yelling at her, which was not true. We were not raising our voices at any point.
Mistakes happen in service, & a simple acknowledgment would have gone a long way.
Being yelled at & then accused of the same behavior is not how you treat a paying customer. I'd come back for the drinks if the service were different, but based on this experience I can't recommend it.
The menu posted online & the one at the restaurant are different, it is much more limited & the food was only okay. The view was nice & that is part of the experience. The waitress was rude, she said I had to get meat on the side with my tacos despite not eating meat instead of just not having it. She also said my food would be gross without it, perhaps reconciling the online menu with the true menu would help everyone know there is only 1 vegetarian option on the menu & 0 vegan ones. Would not recommend unless it is only for overpriced drinks, not the food.

First time there but definitely returning back for the tacos, we tried the Birria tacos & gotta say it was one of the best braised beef tacos in Montreal, also tried the shrimp tacos & unexpectedly I really liked it the shrimps were cooked perfectly, along with the drinks which were ok, the only down side were the guacamole & chips that didn't meet expectation the chips were really bad & the guacamole was mediocre, & I would say a few outdoor fans would have made life easier in summer.
N.B the service & manager of the place were above & beyond, very welcoming & accommodating which really made an impression one for the things to return back for.
This was our favorite stop during our visit to the Old Port. The most delicious tacos ever!!! We had the platter & ever since we have not stopped talking about it. Highly recommend the chicken & fish tacos! The service was wonderful & the drinks were tasty. We went during'Taco Tuesday' which was busy, but the staff was still on top of their game. We are eager to return!
First thing that i noticed was the high prices, especially for the drinks. It's a very tourist oriented place… I ordered simple tacos & waited for 45 minutes. The food was disappointing & I would not go again.
Service was great, atmosphere as well. Just good vibes all over. Even after closing time we didn't feel pressured to leave & kept having great service. The food was very good, perfect portions & the drink we were suggested were excellent & fit exactly what we wanted. We even got an off menu drink that should definitely be on it: the guava margarita 👌 Good old port terrasse choice!

visited for a team event.. table was really tight for group of 8.
Would expected Mariachi music or even Corrido's.
Would recommend the Molcajete . Maybe not the place for the PIE Ribeye, highly priced. Well aware is a tourist area...doesnt need to be a touristTrap.
**Seems reknowned for the drinks Terrace was full **
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!!

Amazing service with the most friendliest staff the manager Yannick did an excellent job on making us feel like home. Food & drinks were excellent. The ambiance & vibes were just immaculate 10/10 recommend it for everyone that's looking for a great time & great foods with spectacular service.
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.
