We stopped in because it was convenient. We were rewarded with an exceptional meal that reached far beyond guac and chips. Brussel sprout tacos ? Really ? OH YES ,REALLY!!!!!!!! Unbelievably original and delicious. My entree was the steak special of the day . Simply said, this dish showcased the accomplished chefs skills reaching far beyond his native region. Homemade creamed spinach and a layered potato side that rivals the finest gratin Daphinoise that I've ever had the pleasure of savoring. I wish I didn't live so far away from this place but I'm glad that I visit Croton often. Bravo, very well done. I can't wait to get back. Gary read more

Fun colourful interior - most of their decor is directly from Mexico. Very good food. Have always had great service. Unlimited chips & salsa. Table side chicken tortilla soup is my favourite! read more

This restaurant is probably one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to! They're tacos are really good and the chicken was really flavorful and yummy. Their servers are really nice and you could tell they care about your experience. And the inside is really nice and they had some really nice photos on the wall and even the tables were cool. read more

We never had been here but came early Sunday evening for drinks only but had some really good Brussels sprouts and plaintains to go with our margaritas. Also warm chips which was not a full meal but so good too. We really like our sweet bartender Sean ? And the place is so fun and I'm excited to return for dinner one night. Off the beaten path but close to the town of croton and it was an unexpected spot to share with our out of town guest. She thought it was so good too and she is into margaritas and goes out a lot to nice places all the time. read more

We are here last night for my sister's birthday. Upon entering the restaurant, we immediately noticed how loud it was. The host wanted to seat us next to an extremely large & loud party so we asked for a different table. He led us to the back room, which was empty. All of the lights were flickering, which we thought was an extremely odd and unprofessional. It gave us all a headache to be completely honest. Large portion of chips & salsa, which was nice. The menus are also on tablets which is kind of cool. It didn't take long before the small room filled up. They sat a young family right next to us (and the tables are pretty close together). This couple gave their young daughter a device so she was watching loud YouTube videos for the duration of our meal. This definitely took away from our meal. The host also turned out to be our waiter. His attention was definitely pulled in many directions and he wasn't as attentive as he should have been to the tables. I ordered the mixed fajitas (chicken, steak, and shrimp). That is my usual whenever I go to Mexican restaurants. Never before have I been to a restaurant where they include green peppers, but this place does. And a lot of them. Yuck! There was also a seasoning that the protein was soaked in that tasted funny. It soaked into the chicken the most. Didn't enjoy my meal. And for the prices they are charging, I should have. Not sure I'll be back. Much happier with other Mexican restaurants. read more

So it's early Sunday afternoon and passing by we decide to stop for late lunch We're the only ones and sit outside. Consuela the owner is so nice we begin chatting. The place it seems, is named after the Day of the Dead. We order a delicious glass of cab, it's so smooth and really delightful. For food, my friend orders the coconut shrimp. She says the best she's ever had! Wow My chicken quesadilla is also just wonderful. A bit a spicy but delicious But the BEST part was the dessert. Their ice cream sandwich, like nothing we've had before. Vanilla ice cream, with blueberries, melon, pineapple. Between thin pastry crackers with dripped chocolate. Ok folks this is it! What a find! We'll be back!! read more

Croton on Hudson has the best and authentic Mexican quinine north of Manhattan. Family owned and operated the food is traditionally made with an accent from Mexico City! Food is amazing, prices are very reasonable and actually underpriced but it's Croton not Manhattan. The Tequila bar is the best outside the city as well. Warm friendly service. This is a must if your in town for The Blaze! Make a reservation fast! read more

La Catrina - Chille Relleno - Mexican Near Me - Croton-on-Hudson, New York

My husband and I have been going to La Catrina for years, since it first opened. I was a lovely, family run business with an elegant Dia Del Muerte theme. The food was always good, the service was exceptional. Both are still true. It was a lovely dining experience. We brought friends from all over Westchester. The new ownership and the interior renovations which opened this week have turned this into a visually cacophonous circus like environment, with every inch of wall space and furniture covered with gaudy stereotypical renderings of rural Mexican life. The environment made it difficult to enjoy the food. Even the tables and plates were excessively "decorated" obscuring the beauty of the food. Sometimes, less is more. In short, it was unpleasant. Doubtful we shall return. A very sad loss for us. Staff is lovely, food very good. read more

Staff was always checking on us to make sure we were okay. The food was delicious, and the drinks were fun. The place is nicely decorated as a day of dead theme. The quality of the food was worth the price. I will be returning! read more

What a find! The service is very personalized and the food was phenomenal! I had the 1/2 lb burger since it was HALF A POUND! I sampled the shrimp rice bowl, which was well made and presented.

The food was excellent! We were 6 people and everyone loved his/her choice. I loved the mahi mahi tacos and my husband, his burritos. Two people had the shrimp fajitas and sang its praises. The chicken mole was a hit as well! Generous portions attractively and served up. Service timing was perfect. So happy Croton has this new addition! read more

Question: How long should it take drinks to come once they're ordered? 1) 5 Minutes 2) 10 Minutes 3) 15 Minutes? Answer: They don't come until you get up and ask the waitress to get your drinks AFTER 25 minutes. We were hopeful when we entered La Catrina at about 6:45PM. Brightly decorated with images of happy skeletons and Dia de Muertos (Mexican Day of the Dead) iconography. The place was perhaps less than 3/4 full. It seemed most the patrons were with drinks and food. Very interestting menu service--ipads with food and drink listings instead of menus--"Cool..." I thought. But after the interminable wait for drinks, the happy skeletons started taking on a more ominous tone. The chips were stale and flavorless, the salsa was void of real taste or texture. The wrong drinks came out...one in our party asked for a Martini with a twist of lemon. ..only problem, no lemons. So an orange was supplied. The other martini was only filled to half...about $14 each with a splash of Vodka. We did complain and the Martinis were taken back and returned more fully realized with the assurance we would not be charged for the first ones. After about 20 more minutes we asked for a chips refill and were told that's fine but the refill would be $5...we declined. After 25 minutes the entrees were served...well, sort of...half of our parties entrees were brought to the table...15 minutes later ours arrived. I have to say the food WAS good, despite the lackluster service...we enjoyed that. But after that, the checks (we went dutch) came. Problem #1: They charged for 2 martinis each, when the first ones had been sent back with the assurance we'd only be charged for one. Problem #2: Our two checks were reversed, our party was charged for theirs and their for ours. We showed our server the 2 problems and she said she couldn't do anything, that we'd have to talk to Consuelo, the dour owner, to work it out. We did. At first, Consuelo told us the two drinks would still be charged to each of us and that we were NOT to return to the restaurant. Ok...our server returned with the corrected checks...and the double charges were miraculously gone. Buyer beware...La Catrina is not for the faint of heart. read more

I waited 45 minutes for a takeout order with no explanation or apology. The food was dry with supermarket tortillas, the salad dressing tasted like lemon custard. Very disappointing read more

First off don't Uber eats from this place, it takes way too long. I live 12 mins away and it took over 2 hours to arrive. Second, the food itself is not authentic. The flavors are okay but EXTREMELY salty. Portions are tiny. Lastly, prices are outrageous for the portion and meal you get. The ceviche was $20 and there were 3 half sliced shrimps with a few cherry tomatoes and a few slices of onions. read more

My first time here was visiting my daughter the quality of the food here is off the chart! The duck tacos were moist and so flavorful! The soup presentation was so elegant and the soup is insanely flavorful! The Caesar salad was served the correct way with whole romaine! Was so impressed I made reservations for tomorrow and our Easter meal! This was one of the BEST most flavorful meals I have had in a long time! The service was excellent definitely give a try ignore the negative reviews read more

I recently had the carne asada rice bowl from La Catrina and was greatly displeased with the experience. I order through take out and when I opened the container the food looked like had been thrown together into the box with little care and was frankly unappetizing. On top of that the portions seemed sparse for the 22 dollar price tag. The real kicker of this experience though was the beef, it was incredibly salty to the extent where it hurt my mouth and ruined the meat. read more

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but nothing out of the ordinary. Meat had good flavor but everything else was average.

Paid La Catrina a visit for dinner last night with my family and the food was absolutely delicious! For appetizers we ordered the coconut shrimp which was so delicious! And the street corn which i have no words for because that was the best street corn i have ever had! Sooo good. For dinner we ordered Carne Asada Quesadilla - 9/10 Carne Asada Burrito - 9/10 Fish Tacos - 10/10 Carne Asada Rice Bowl - 9/10 Birria Tacos - 9/10 Chicken Burrito - 9/10 The food was delicious and the service was quick and great. If I'm ever in the area again I'll deff be coming back here again :) read more

Just had another absolutely mouthwateringly delicious dinner at La Catrina. Chef Enrique's passion for cooking comes through in every meal - he uses use top quality ingredients and his expertise in other cuisines (Asian/French) to create the most unique and amazing dishes presented in a beautiful and artful way. With his wife Consuelo they create such a welcoming atmosphere where you just want to stay and enjoy the seemingly endless selection of unique tequilas. As a Californian with extensive exposure to Mexican cuisine this restaurant is a complete standout and to be missed. read more

Not impressed... the ambience has little relationship to their prices. The back room has not been changed in years. The front room is just okay. This restaurant thinks it is a stellar Mexican restaurant, but it is totally mediocre. The quesadillas were ordinary, the cheese rubbery, the presentation unattractive. The salmon was fine... just fine... probably frozen... the vegetables underneath were unrecognizable. The margaritas were served in an unattractive tumbler. And don't ask for more sour cream.... You will be charged a dollar. And in a time when people like to sit outdoors, there are only metal chairs and tables on their area in front of the restaurant.... Altogether, an uninspiring experience. Go to Yukas on 9A in Cortlandt for sophisticated South American fare. Or go to Rosaritas also on 9A in Cortlandt for Mexican food that is authentic and whose prices are not insane! read more

Glad that we decided to go here for dinner. We split everything, guacamole, entree and dessert. The guacamole is spicy, not so hot that either of us had trouble eating it, but definitely a zip there that you normally don't get. I think the tortilla chips are homemade and they are good but not great. We split the Molcajete Bowl and while delicious, it's a bit expensive at $58. The sauce at the bottom was excellent but we didn't know it was there until we had taken enough stuff off the top of the bowl. Mini ice cream cones for dessert really topped off the meal. Definitely on my list of places to return to! read more

I'm sorry to report that my latest visit culminated in terrible digestive distress afterward. That combined with a 3% "convenience charge" for using my credit card, which I'm given to understand is becoming increasingly common, did not make for a great experience. I understand inflation, but the reality is that the prices at many restaurants, including La Catrina, are quite expensive. You mean to tell me that in addition to $14 for a dessert and $18 for an appetizer, not to mention entries that are in some cases over $30 each, that they have to nab me for more money simply for using the most common form of payment in the world? Here's a little tip for all such restaurants: this will not endear you to your customers. Don't make me pay a fee in order to pay you for my meal. Build it into your prices. At least that way, it's more honest. I think that I'll avoid restaurants even more than I have been doing since the pandemic. This time around made me sick both figuratively and literally. read more

One of my new favorite places in Croton and my GFs hands down favorite. The decor is certainly worthy of the name. If you like purple and skulls, they have got you covered. This traditional Dia De Los Muertos aesthetic permeates the place and I love it. I've eaten here many times and never had a bad dish but if I have to recommend one, it would be the duck tacos. These duck tacos in wonton shells with guac are genius. If you have more than 2 people at your table, order extra because they will disappear fast. If fusion isn't your thing feel free to pick any of the more traditional items, none disappoint. Good for a casual and fun date night, La Catrina is always a good choice. read more

Came here with the family before an event in Ossining. This is not your run of the mill Mexican restaurant and is a lovely surprise. Fun decor. Menu with items for everyone in our party. The salmon tartare was fresh and the mango added a bright flavor. The presentation of the soup is FABULOUS! I'd order soup again just for this. The duck tacos were a fresh twist on confit. All of us enjoyed the meal, including the two teenagers. read more

Was looking forward to a burger here as was one of the restaurants in Westchester Magazine touted as having a great burger. Restaurant was pretty much empty but it was a Monday. It was so cold in the restaurant that everyone was wearing a coat and eating. That was very uncomfortable. But the real disappointment was the burger. It was awful. The meat was tough and had a funny taste. Owner was very nice but burger was awful. The Mexican food is much better than a burger. read more

My family and I wanted to support the new local restaurant but we won't be going back! 1. The staff is rude. 2. It's a Mexican restaurant that doesn't have hard shell tacos so my mom who's gluten free had to order a salad bc they had no other options. 3. They try to sell you dessert and drinks heavily. 4. The food isn't great at all. I ordered a cheese quesadilla and the cheese wasn't even melted and it tasted like food I could make at home not authentic or delicious Mexican cuisine. I rarely give bad reviews but this is an honest review of our experience. read more

Delicious upscale Mexican dining in the upper village of Croton. Great chips, guacamole, and margaritas. We had the duck tacos and corn to start both delicious.
