Every month I mark my calendar for this day. Catrina's cantina day! I celebrate each month with a round of Catrina-Rita's (a delicious specialty drink) amazing margaritas, delicious salsas, and amazing art! Our waiter was so kind, she was attentive to my every need, once I spilled my water on the floor and she wasn't even mad, Aylin is extremly nice and polite. Adriana was very polite to me too and deserves an award for best server of the year. The atmosphere is amazing, the bar is something out of a movie, cool lights plenty of drinks, TVs, , and the authentic Mexican artwork is so unique and amazing to see. I will be back next month to make another epic review of my favorite Mexican restaurant in the world. read more

Catrina's Cantina is the kind of place you go to where the ambience is really nice and there are lots of cool things to look at. The service is pretty good and decently friendly, but it's a bit pricey, and the menu is kind of limited. I wish they had more cheddar cheese. The salsa was alright. The meal itself was just okay. I ate most of it, but it wasn't particularly good or particularly not good either. It was just very mediocre. If it was a little cheaper, I probably would have given it a 3.5, but I'm probably not ever going to come back. It wasn't the worst experience in the world. read more

Always a great experience. Consistently excellent margaritas and excellent servers that never seem annoyed or angry, just happy to chat and mix a drink. That alone is worth five stars, but the food is top notch as well. Adrianna at the bar is the best! Make sure to checkout the happy hour menu in the bar between 3-7pm. read more

Everything was either very bland or very salty. Refried beans tasted like the pan was burnt. Dry, choking hazard carnitas. I would describe most items as tasting like nothing (fajitas, guacamole, rice) Extremely overpriced. The best item were the fries that were probably frozen. The server never checked on us at any point, not even to provide basic items. So having the 20% automatic gratuity was particularly ironic. Would not recommend. read more

Best guac I've EVER had in my life! The food and staff are excellent and the decor is just amazing! I love this place read more

Food was dry and service slow. I also thought prices were kind of high for Mexican food.

Authentic delicious food with a great atmosphere and service. The beans, rice and salsa are delicious! Our go to orders are the chicken mole, chimichanga. read more

The service was really good. We got greeted, seated, and had chips and guacamole within 3 minutes of walking through the door! If you're hungry you won't die waiting or at least you'll have something to ease the hunger pangs! It wasn't as flavorful as I like my Mexican food to be. It was good, just missing something. It could've been what I ordered because my husband's food was good! The restaurant was decorated beautifully and probably good for a date night. Drinks were good and strong so maybe even going there for drinks. read more

A few weeks ago we went out to dinner with family. They picked this restaurant. My parents have been here before a few years ago. It was my first time here. Food was very yummy! Friendly and helpful server. Very clean restaurant and beautifully decorated! Looks like a lot of colorful fun art. Almost like an art gallery or blown glass and metal art. There is a little gift shop also. read more

What a wonderful gem. Beautifully decorated with HUGE iron/steel structures one does get the feeling of being in a place like San Miguel de Allende! We ordered the HUGE and wondeful Grande Corona-Rita. Basically a huge margarita with a small bottle of Grand Marnier attached which drips into the drink when pulled up. Splendid. We also got the Rock Guacamole which was fresh and flavorful. Already received the warm complimentary chips and salsa. We split the grilled fish tacos trying to stay somewhat healthy and thinking we were getting dessert which we did. Ice cream. The fish tacos were good especially the corn tortillas which tasted very fresh. Comes with rice and choice of black or refried beans. Ample free parking, great service. We'll be back when in the ara! read more

I went to eat here for my nieces birthday and the food was really good and margarita was delicious. The decor was so cute, I was impressed. The wait servers were very nice, I would recommend trying it out. read more

Ambience was amazing - that restaurant is decorated to the hilt. Service was very good because the parking lot was empty - and I'm talking on a Saturday night. I was worried that I didn't know something that everyone else did. Food - mmmmm, fair, hence the 3 rating. Mediocre Mexican morsels at high prices. Now I know why the parking lot was empty. Sadly, I won't go there again. read more

We saw this restaurant as we were driving down the road and I'm glad we stopped. Love how it's decorated, especially the glass balloons. They have long tables and it would make a great place for celebrations. Our server at the bar, Martha, was welcoming and helpful in suggesting items that didn't have onions due to my fiancée's allergy. Got the guacamole, it was enough for several people. Good but I think they left more than the onions out. Just mashed avocados. I was happy to see Red Pozole on the menu because that's usually reserved for the weekends at other places. I was a little disappointed because some of the pork seemed over cooked, not tender, like it had been sitting there for a long while. Probably should have gone with the albondigas. Loved the handmade tortillas. read more

Tried this restaurant as we were in the area. Only go if you have money to burn. My wife ordered a steak taco salad. Very little meat and beans, no rice. All lettuce. $29. Crazy. I ordered a 2 item combo, chile relleno and crispy taco. That combo was not on the menu but I asked if they could make it. Turns out they charged me $26. You could get both of these items for about half the price at any other Mexican restaurant. I will stick to Carmelita's in the future. Stay away from this place unless like I said you have money to burn and it doesn't matter to you.. read more

We had a great time here. Everyone raves about the decor, and they are right. It's fantastic! But the service is amazing and the food is great. Margaritas are fantastic. Pozole was flavorful and full of meat/extras. Beans are amazing and chile relleno is STUFFED with cheese. So delicious. We will be back! read more

Ambience - fun Service - poor Food - awful!! Always wanted to try Catrina's Cantina. I was disappointed and will NOT go back. The guacamole was rancid and when I told waitress, she was offended. She says they make it fresh every morning. Well, that could be true but using an old avocado doesn't make it fresh! The flour tortillas were pita bread. We completely destroyed our fajita putting guacamole sour cream and salsa. When we asked for more sour cream and salsa we got charged for extra. The waitress wasn't willing to work with us which made the dining experience very upsetting. What a waste of $75!!! The portions were very small and the food was not hot coming to the table. I guess the drinks might be good and love the decor but they need to pay closer attention to the quality of their food. read more

What an eclectic place. Great margaritas and food, and great service from Adriana. She handles everything - server, bartender and overall awesome lady! Pleasantly surprised overall read more

The atmosphere was great, the service was average but the food was bland, the tell tail sign was there was only three tables with patrons.

What amazing food and great service! We loved the atmosphere! wow so cool! Our food was so good. The guac was perfect! Skinny margs were perfect! Wish they had more vegetarIan options, but that is easy to work around. read more

Tried to have a surprise luncheon for my husbands surprise birthday. Emailed them gave my info said they would call - nothing. Went into the restaurant was given owners number, left message - nothing. Will never step a foot in there. Very unprofessional. Thank goodness Bucca di Beppo came through and saved the day. Thumbs down for Catrina's Cantina read more

First, you MUST visit this restaurant for the colorful and festive decorations. This is the best place for a birthday for adults, teens & youngsters alike. The food is delicious, hot and ample portions. I had lunch and the Fish Tacos are my favorite. The fish is grilled, with cabbage and a light sauce brings it all together. I add just a little of their tasty salsa. Go see this restaurant for the decorations and stay for the service and the food. read more

I stopped here randomly because I was in the area and in the mood for Mexican food. I got the chimichanga and chips and salsa to go. I didn't have to wait long before my food was ready. The salsa had a Smokey taste and I could eat what with everything and be happy. The restaurant had very cool decor inside and out. Outside, palm trees had different colored lights on them. And there were large metal art pieces in the front. The entrance has large wood doors. When you walk in you can see a lot of color and very cool 3D everywhere. I wish I took more pictures but you have to see it in person. There was even art with head cutouts for a photo op. There is indoor and outdoor seating to choose from. And the women who helped me were friendly. read more

The food was decent but lacked flavor overall. I ordered three steak tacos (which cost extra), and they came simply with steak, cilantro, and onion--no salsa--which made them taste pretty plain. On the positive side, the guacamole and chips were very flavorful and stood out as the highlight of the meal. The service felt a bit rushed, even though there were only two other customers in the restaurant besides my party of four. The decor was unique, though, with glass balloon-like fixtures hanging from the ceiling, which added a nice visual touch. read more

The food is horrible and they over charged me by $250! After making a credit card abuse report against them they lied and spent that much money for lunch. Do not trust this place. read more

Decor is really charming inside and outside this restaurant but beyond that it was a mid-level experience. I took a large party here last week and we all agreed that the food and service were just ok overall. The one exception was the appetizer called GREEN CHILE CHEESE FUNDUEwas excellent. My entire party agreed that the rest of the food was just OK. The portion size on the fajitas was relatively small and expensive, not a lot of meat for the price and an order does not even include cheese. The chips were too hard and pretty bland. Our servers did tend to us, but they did not seem that hospitable or friendly. Pricing was rather expensive, with the mandatory large party gratuity the bill came out to probably $25 or $30 per head. Overall, it's probably not a restaurant I would recommend although it's not a bad place. read more

Fun Mexican decor with items straight from Mexico. The mole' sauce is good but I love their green sauce on their enchiladas. read more

The food here is out of this world!!! The customer service is amazing and the decor is beautiful! I don't know how this place isn't more busy. read more

Catrina's has great Mexican decor and not too noisy. Lovely menu selection and the food was well prepared. Our server was great and very attentive l. Definitely recommend for wonderful Mexican food. read more

Service was not great, our waitress who took our order was not in a good mood at all. I ordered the chili relleno that I had a hard time cutting through it with a knife if you want to call it that!! I did not like the small portion of refried beans served in a little tortilla shell, come on!! I want my beans on the plate where I can scoop them with my fork, if you want to call it fork!! the utensils were a joke!! the prices are high for what you get. My wife had carnitas tacos and the tortilla was just bent over and cold. You blew it Catrina's will not be returning to your restaurant, we will go to Taquari La Rana across the road, they don't have fancy decorations but they have decent prices, good portions and really good food and oh yah!! nice forks. You only get one shot with me that's it and you failed that. read more

We visited Carina's Cafe with our family of 10. The service was average at best; our server was not all that attentive. Also, while she was not unfriendly, but won't be winning any awards for Miss Congenitally. I was not really satisfied with the combination plate I ordered. I asked for a beef enchilada and a beef taco. I was surprised that they put sour cream on my taco. They quickly fixed my complaint on that quickly. Also, the refried beans that came along with the enchilada were barely warm. The enchilada was OK. The chips and salsa were good. read more

Amazing service, amazing chips and salsa amazing. Ambiance Everything we got was hot, fresh and delicious. The taco with shredded beef was seriously phenomenal. The chicken enchilada with green sauce was to die for the fajitas. Looked amazing although we didn't get it this time. We will get it next time. I Definitely recommend this place. read more

this place was utterly disgusting and overpriced. as someone who is of mexican decent, DO NOT go here unless u dont mind spending 20 dollars on food that tastes worse than a frozen store bought alternative and the size of a kids meal. the service was lack luster, wouldnt be surprised if their in a sour mood because of their business probably being on the brink of going bankrupt, due to how terrible it is. the ONLY saving grace that this place has is the fact the interior is pretty cool. so overall, just go to a taqueria or something if u want good authentic mexican food. read more

My boyfriend and I went Saturday night around 6pm and to our surprise it was not super busy. The food was very tasty, my chile Colorado came with my choice of flour tortillas which was yummy. Just wish there was more veggies on the plate! read more

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Liked how nicely the restaurant was decorated. Unfortunately, when we came here the AC was broken and so my family and I were a bit uncomfortable as it was pretty warm inside. Food here is okay. Ordered the carnitas enchiladas which came with rice and beans. It was decent. read more

Delicious!!! I had the Chili Rellenos.. great atmosphere, great service, .. The chips were delicious and the Margaritas were yummy... a wonderful experience! read more

We have tried Catrina's twice now and as much as it's a great location the food is bland and just average. The staff is nice and location and facility is nicely decorated. However, we ordered the fajitas and upgraded to asada. However, we received a plate with 5 x the normal amount of peppers and onions and a few pieces of meat. The tortillas was hard and lacked flavor. The salad was overly mild and the chips were hard and needed a ton of salt. Nice people work there but the food is certainly lacking. read more
