Saw this place on IG and had to try it! The restaurant is beautifully decorated, reminds me of the movie Coco. The service was great. They were very attentive, sat us quickly, and were able to provide great insight on the menu items. We got the quesabirria and Chile en Nogada to share. Both were incredible and delicious. We also got the corn cheesecake which was to die for. I want to return to try the nachos & guacamole which looked delicious!! read more

The best food of everything we got was the queso fondido with chorizo and chicken quesadillas. The best!! Oh yeah how can I forget....the elote cheesecake as well!! I like the decorations! I feel like I'm in the movie of Coco! Haha! I would like to take my mom for el cafe en ills and the elote cheesecake...that is so her vibe! They only have a total of 2 bathrooms, plenty of parking, and it's clean. The waiter was fine...not great or fine. read more

We happened upon Catrina Querida by mistake but what a treat it was! The Guacamole was one of the best I've had and my son, who loves his burritos, found his Asada burrito to be exceptional. The sauces on my enchiladas divorciadas, especially the green one, was so tasty! Everything looked and tasted fresh. We found a favorite here! Service was really attentive! The ambiance was a Freida Kahlo theme, small and I appreciated that the music was not so loud that I couldn't hear myself think. read more

Maybe teach your servers that a tip is earned. I was in the process of paying and the server noted I didn't add a tip and AFTER I PAY HE GOES - just so you know the tip is not included. As if that is gonna make me feel bad or reprimanded for not tipping him. That made the first time experience one I won't forget and never come back there again. Quality service should be genuine should you want a tip and that was nothing but a waste. I will recommend people to not go there because all they care about is money. The food was mid and could be better. Lucky there are tourists who fill it up but as a local, waste of a restaurant with greedy servers.also I just noticed that even on their yelp account - it says TIPPING IS OPTIONAL?! Yea horrible experience read more

Primera vez conociendo este restaurante. Soy fan y conocedor de la auténtica comida Mexicana, conozco mexico y su comida tradicional. Para empezar la decoración y ambiente agradable. El Servicio fue rapido pero en cuanto a la comida los tacos al pastor (3 unidades) estaban muy bien de sabor. Por otro lado la Milanesa de pollo , el arroz y los frijoles estaban completamente sin sabor parecían como hervidos en agua,los frijoles parecían sacados de la lata y completamente sin sal,encontré raro que no sirvieran en el plato, los típicos frijoles refritos , en general todo estaba bajo en sal y el arroz pasado de cocción, aguado y apelmasado. Encontré otros platos en el menú algo costosos, 31 dolares por 1 chile en nogada?? Lamento decirlo pero creo que es mi primera y última vez en este restaurante. read more

Catrina Querida - Mango Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Doral, Florida

Came here on a Sunday for lunch. Ordered the horchata, chile en nogada, and the cochinita pibil tacos. First off, I have to say the complimentary chips were some of the best I've had. It had this savory flavor that almost reminded me of cheese. Horchata ($4.50): refreshing and sweet. 4.5/5 Chile en nogada ($31.50): this was the first time I'd ever had it. Maria was our server and I'm glad she made sure we were okay that it was both savory and sweet. While it looked impressive (a giant stuffed pepper drenched in a sweet sauce and topped with pomegrante seeds), the sauce was too sweet for me personally so I probably wouldn't get it again. 4/5 Cochinita pibil tacos ($15.50): This was my favorite of the two. The pork was flavorful and juicy. Definitely would want to try their other tacos. 5/5 Overall I enjoyed the food and ambience. Maria our server was attentive and checked in on us. The environment was definitely on top of the theme with the staff's outfits, decor, and the great music. Parking readily available as it's located in a plaza. Will definitely consider coming back! read more

Restaurant is new - opened this Monday and they are still working some of their processes and details (i.e. menus are printed on regular office paper and other minor things). Inside is nice and appealing. Furniture is high-quality and seems custom-made directly imported from Mexico - hefty, solid wood tables with elegantly designed and finely upholstered chairs. In keeping with some of the more recent trends, there are lots of faux flowers and shrubbery hanging from the ceiling in very colorful tones, which create a more whimsical ambiance. The lady servers were wearing beautiful, very colorful Mexican-themed dresses with flower head dresses - a touch that expands the whimsy. The owner(s) were present as expected during a launch, and ensuring customers were tended to, which always provides a nice touch. One of whom I think is one of the owners, an elegant lady, noticed we immediately reacted to the cold temperature when entering and asked if A/C should be adjusted, and she did make it more calid - it was way too cold. While service was nice, and the two lady servers were appropriate, I'd like to add they could use a little softer and more 'welcoming' touch. They both acted a little 'hardened' as if they were 60 year old waiters that had been working the grind shift at Denny's in their past lives; yet they seemed to be somewhere in their mid to late 20's. Maybe it was the stress of figuring out a new restaurant. Onto the FOOD: My dining companion had an Elote and it looked very nice. I didn't try it, but he commented that the kernels were too small, so not sure it was an authentic Mexican corn cub. In either case, flavor seemed good to him and presentation was great. We ordered the nachos with the shredded beef only (barbacoa) and they were delicious - the beef and the cheese sauce were everything. The cheese is a little gelatinous, which some might not appreciate, but I do. My friend also ordered a mango mojito, which I tasted, and it was delicious; he found it a little sweet, but I'm all about the sweet, so I thought it was great. For our 'mains' we both ordered the same, Quesabirria's - they were great; however, in the spirit of being authentic to Mexican cuisine, they use cloves in their birria sauce, which is not a flavor I like (my BFF and I call ginger, nutmeg and clove 'christmasy' flavors - and are not fond of them if you can pick them out of the 'crowd' of other spices - that's my case in general if you can taste anyone spice above all others - it should be a symphony of flavors with no one spice outshining the other). Thus, I could only eat one of the two taco-styled pockets. I asked for mine without the onion and cilantro garnish. However, if you like those authentic flavors, you'd love these because they were well-made. We skipped dessert because we wanted to go visit Golfeados 900 nearby - I'll review that separately under that locale. Took pictures of the menu because there aren't any here yet. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Turn Down the Music, Turn Up the Seasoning! Come for the mariachis, stay because you can't hear the exit. Catrina Querida has all the makings of a fun night out: colorful vibe, super-friendly service, and live mariachis, but somewhere between the kitchen and the giant speakers, things went wrong. The food: Elote? Good, but nothing to text your foodie friends about. Tacos al pastor? Meh, like they forgot the "pastor" and just sent the intern. Quesobirria had a nice dip factor, but the cheese came in like "I'm the star" and overpowered everything else. Flautas said "chicken or potato," plot twist, it's both, mostly potato, and not much flavor. Thank goodness for the cream sauce on top because without it, bland city. Rice was fine, beans were lacking flavor. The drinks: Started with a cocktail I did not like, bold of them to serve that, so I ran for safety with an Aperol Spritz. No risks, no returns. The atmosphere: Live mariachis? Talented. The speakers? Cranked so loud I could feel my ancestors covering their ears. Conversation? Forget it. You'll be yelling "another margarita" like you're at a nightclub. Bottom line: It has potential, but right now it's all noise and little flavor. Until they step up the seasoning and turn down the volume, it's a no from me. read more

I was visiting Miami for work and came across this Mexican restaurant while craving authentic Mexican food and a good margarita. Fabi was my server and provided excellent, friendly service with great recommendations for both drinks and entrées. I tried the passion fruit margarita and Paloma, both of which were great. The flautas were delicious and authentic. The food quality was there and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. If you're in the area and looking for solid Mexican cuisine, definitely give this place a try! read more

Food - 4 Service - 4 Ambiance - 5 Drinks - 4.5 Overall - 4.3 The highlight of this restaurant is the decoration. Wow, well done. I gotta say I didn't have het much food, only the chips, guacamole, tacos and the chile en nogada. The chile was pretty average and expensive ($32), I know it requires a lot of preparation and effort but the flavor was not there. On the other hand, the guac, tacos and drink were delicious. I will return. Enjoy and cheers. read more

First (and definitely last) time here. We were shoved in the back because the owner reserved all the front tables for his birthday party. Honestly, if you're going to take over the whole restaurant for yourself and your friends, just close it for the night instead of making paying customers feel like an afterthought. The food was just as disappointing. The guacamole with pork rinds was bland and the pork rinds were the same bagged kind you can grab at Publix. My flautas were mostly potato with barely any chicken. My friend's steak tacos were flavorless, and my mom's fish tacos tasted like they came straight out of the ocean, raw and not fresh. Drinks were nothing special. The only thing worth mentioning in a positive light were the churros -- and that's sad when dessert is the best part of the entire meal. Save yourself the time and money. There are too many other places that actually value their customers and serve fresh, quality food. read more

Had a lot of expectations for this place when I saw it Instagram. I was very disappointed after I went with my wife this past weekend. We had the guacamole and queso fundido (plain). Guac was good but queso fundido was sooo oily that my wife only had two bites and the chips themselves tasted a bit stale (queso fundido should also come with flour tortillas to make a taco, not chips. We had one basket of chips for the guac and another one for the queso). For main we got tacos. I got the pastor and my wife got grilled chicken. The pastor had 0 seasoning. Instead of the red/orange color they are associated with, it looked beige. No flavor. The pineapple was also canned, not fresh... Lastly, the tacos were wet. Water dripped from all of them when we picked them up. My wife's 3 tacos all broke due to how much liquid the tortilla absorbed. That being said, my parents went the day after and they loved the sopa de tortilla, pozole, and chile en nogada and had a great experience. IMO, if as a Mexican Restaurant you cant get a taco right, its not worth going back. read more

First timer Maybe this place is to "authentic ",for Me Queso Birria , great flavor but way to oily The Tacos are on a PLAIN corn tortilla with onions and cilantro. Way to dry, add some cotija or queso fresco The cheese on the guacamole and tortillas, Was horrible, it was one giant string , not melted , UNEDIBLE Worst part of all is that the person next to us was freely vaping while my toddler and pregnant wife were sitting next to him . Maybe it's not a kid friendly place , not sure MOST LIKELY WONT RETURN read more

The service was good and the restaurant is very pretty inside. The food is ok but very overpriced. I paid $16 for a watered down pozole. I got some pieces of fat and literally 10 white corn kernels. I don't mind paying but it has to hold its value, right? Don't we all want that?. I got tacos that came too soon before I finished my soup. The waitress had the nerve to say: hurry with your soup, the tacos will get cold...we didn't get chips and salsa as you usually get at a mex restaurant, we had to ask. 2 diet cokes...$7. Will not be returning. read more
