Ordered the cowboy ribeye. It was cooked perfectly, and good seasoning. Wife ordered the chile relleno. She said it was good too. Horchata was great. Definitely homemade; not a powder mix. 12:00pm on a Wednesday and it was packed for lunch. A good sign to see almost all tables full of guests. read more

Upon entering I was blown away by the decor. It is absolutely gorgeous! I wasn't expecting to be seated in leather arm chairs at an adorable table under a "flowering tree". But I certainly was! There was so much attention to detail - all the way down to the plates being branded. And the food was delicious. Our meal started with complementary chips and salsa. The salsa was obviously homemade and not your typical salsa - roasted peppers and tomatoes. Plus the chips were fresh from the fryer. I got the steak fajitas for a main course. The steak pieces were thick, tender, seasoned well, and perfectly cooked with just a bit of pink in the center. The tortillas came in a branded potholder type sleeve to keep them warm. I had the La Mezcalita for a drink and it was sweet and smokey. Our waitress was super sweet and enthusiastic. She made sure we knew all the desserts and drinks. Also, I loved that the menu labeled certain things to be "possibly gluten free". read more

We had a large group with several families and spend almost $500.00 but they would not seperate the bill per family. And it was in Spanish so you had to ask what some of the items were. And they added on things that we didn't ask for( chips and salsa) etc. horrible experience. Food was just fair. The server finally did say she could separate many ways but they all had to be equal amount. Seriously I ordered a $2.50 bowl of rice how was that going to work out!! read more

What a nice surprise. David our waiter was awesome with great menu suggestions. Plenty of Free parking after 5pm across the street. Ambiance and decor is top chic whimsical Mexican. Live music every night. There were some costumed party/dance guys to add some ambiance for party mode. What fun! Tonight they had a Spanish rock/pop vocalist playing mana. I was told Katrina's in costume on Saturday night and mariachi on Sunday. Portions were huge. Food was tasty. I was near the entrance and the phone was ringing if the hook. Waiter told me it was people making rsvp for weekends. Nice full bar. Definitely be back again. Fresh made tortillas. read more

What a wonderful meal. Been here 2x now and will return. Service was amazing. Chips and salsa were excellent. Main courses, which were ceviche and the steak and shrimp were unbelievable. Drinks are a little pricey, but the restaurant was worth it. We will be back read more

Casa Catrina - Seafood Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

Just what Joliet needs! I found it to be a fun and good vibes. Our server Daniella was very attentive and helpful. The girl who dropped off the chips and salsa was great as well. I never felt forgotten about. We had the pineapple jalapeño mezcal which was good, it was a bit Smokey flavor for us, the primavera was very good! For dinner we had the la Catrina and bistec de lomo I thought the steak had a perfect flavor and cooked just right. My wife enjoyed de lomo. The only thing we went crazy about was the beans. But beans are always a subjective choice. Well done staff and owners. Keep up the good work! Maybe have some more menus, the website is hard to read. read more

First time at this restaurant and have to say, if you like steak - do not hesitate. Two people at our table ordered steak and they were perfect (skirt steak was thin, perfectly flame kissed and medium rare, and oh the size of the skirt steak was the whole plate ). Shrimp dishes were on point and paired nicely with mojitos and margaritas read more

We're visiting from Anaheim, California, and our family lives here in Joliet. We kind of just picked this place on the spot because the original spot we were thinking of was closing when we were on our way. Honestly, I'm glad we chose this one instead. We started with the queso fundido and las coloraditas quesadillas, and they were both really good! Out of the two, I liked the las coloraditas quesadillas more, but the queso fundido was tasty too. My son had the kids mac and cheese, and he obviously really liked it because he finished it. I had the Ceviche Primavera, and it was good, but I probably wouldn't order it again because it was a bit on the sweet side, which isn't really my thing. Still, I finished it. We also shared the Toro with six shots of our choice. We definitely want to come back to try more stuff. The staff was super friendly and professional--no complaints there. I loved the vibe and how everything looked. read more
