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.
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.

Wow!! Best margarita of my life, never had a spicy margarita like Manuel's Mango Marg!!
Gabriel's service was phenomenal, no one like him in the old port!! Quarina was the nicest server I've ever met! Ask for her or Gabriel!!
The atmosphere is very nice even if a little crowded in the terrasse. The table-side made guacamole was absolutely amazing, so simple yet so delicious. The fried chicken & the marinated pork tacos were quite tasty, very nice mix of flavors. It was an overall great experience, would definitely recommend to a friend!
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.

Service was great, however the food was not that great. I don't recommend the birria tacos, flavour was lacking & there was mostly the fat of the beef. Good atmosphere however I liked the terrace outside during the summer.
Had late lunch today & incidentally, it was taco tuesday!!!! The food was excellent. Had 4 pairs of fish, chicken, beef, & vegetarian tacos & everything was delicious. Personal favorite was the beef. The margaritas were excellent. The churros were bomb. Service was also top notch. Everyone's so friendly. Highly recommended.
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!
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 !
Highly recommend, food was great & the guacamole was very good aswell, I liked the fact they did it infront of us! The waitress Ada was very kind & sweet very good service will definitely come back!
Vibrant Mexican restaurant in the Vieux-Port area of Montreal. We were a group of 8 girls for lunch. Definitely recommend the tableside guac. We ordered 2 but could have easily devoured 3! Service was excellent & friendly. The patio wasn't open when we were there (chilly day at the beginning of April) but it's huge & would be lovely to sit out there on a nice day. Make a reso or you'll likely have to wait for a table!
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 **
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.
