We had a disastrous day at a "so-called" craft festival in Jeffersonville. So, we decided to salvage the day at LaCatrina. We sat outside on the patio, because we had our pup with us. Our server quickly came and took our drink orders. I went with a large margarita. My wife, disappointed when told there were no beers on draft, asked for a bottled beer. She was brought a Miller Light in an aluminum "bottle". We finally got a Corona Light in a glass bottle. We ordered a shareable order of nachos. The nachos were actually pretty good. But since they were shareable, one would think the server would know to bring extra plates. Nope. Maybe even extra napkins? Nope. My wife decided she also wanted a small salad. The server suggested the Cobb salad. She was able to make it a small at half price. But, a Cobb "salad" requires lettuce. There were a few shreds buried amongst the cheese, chips & chicken. Essentially, another order of nachos, with ranch dressing. We asked for some salsa and our server made a point of telling us there was no charge. Typically, LaCatrina charges $3 for chips & salsa. The menu is quite limited. La Catrina doesn't try to be a full service restaurant. Tacos. Burritos. Quesadilla. Tamales. No enchiladas. No fajitas. So, fair service. Easily solved with better training. And decent food, but nothing to really set La Catrina apart from the pack. Except maybe the gummy worm that came with my margarita.

Trio dip and the portions were not worth the price.

The service was decent for the most part. The ambiance was nice but we chose to eat outside. The food was good, I was shocked that a Mexican restaurant didn't give free chips and salsa is my only complaint lol

Came here before an event at Big Four Lawn across the river in KY during odd lunch hours. We were seated immediately at the bar, next to the beautiful ofrenda they have set up. The service was very quick to bring us menus, waters, and ask what we wanted. I opted for the chicken burrito, the vegan taco, and chips and salsa. The burrito was FULL of delicious chicken and came with a really tasty cream sauce that was great for pouring. The chips and salsa were delicious. And the vegan taco also was great. All the flavors were amazing. It was also a friend's birthday, so they brought her out free churros. Tbh, the the best churros I've ever had. They were filled with a caramel-like sauce, so it wasn't dry. The pricing was also relatively affordable, but I'm used to Indianapolis prices, so might be a bit much for the area. I'm unsure. Would highly recommend.

Margarita

We went on a night when every other person in the area also wanted to go. We were seated promptly but they didn't have clean silverware so we were given plastic, nobody knew how to make skinny margarita and the server was pretty frustrated as it was her second day. I had a carnitas and a shrimp taco with rice and beans. All very good. Plenty of food. We sat in the patio which was nice. Will certainly return when in the area.

My first visit to La Catrina in downtown Jeffersonville. The nachos shareable app was spectacular. We both ordered the fronterra cobb salad. They do it up right with more than fair quantities of avocado, egg, and grilled chicken. It's the best salad deal that I know of. The wife also ordered an Al Pastor burrito along with her Frontera Cobb. She loved it all.

Nachos

When we first walked in it was empty. We waited a little while and finally someone came to sit us. At first I was really nervous for the food based on that. Oh my gosh this place ended up being awesome. They sat us upstairs where more people ended up being. We also saw a little paper sign with a hand written note saying Fridays and Saturdays you can get a tall top shelf margarita for 9 bucks. The drinks were phenomenal. The margaritas were super sour and delicious! They were strong. I got the nachos, and they let be substitute the meat for their zucchini's. Definitely without a doubt the best nachos in this area that I've had. The tacos looked okay that my friend ordered. The burrito my other friend ordered looked really good. Everybody liked their food. I'll be back here for sure.

Everything about this place was amazing, the tacos were so good and not bad price. The environment was colorful and nice, the waitress was super friendly and helpful in making recommendations. Will definitely come back.

My buddy and I went here on Thursday evening and we walked up stairs to the hostess. They sent us outside where we would like to sit. The view and the scenery was nice. I will say. A waiter approached does he was not very friendly. he didn't really speak to us or too much honestly, we ordered couple drinks and we got queso and chips and then my buddy wanted some salsa and chips. He didn't bring chips with the salsa so we had to ask for more and I will say the queso salsa and chips were the only good part of the meal. I ordered a brisket burrito and unfortunately, there was zero meat in. It had a few morsels of meat and it was just rice and some kind of purple colored beans not good. My friend got a chicken taco and a beef taco. Both of them were purple colored tortillas, which was interesting, but he said that his tacos were a one out of five so overall, I'm gonna give us place at two for the chips and quesoand the scenery. Not good food was not for us. Some people might like it, but it wasn't for us.

Look for the sign!!!!!!

Th the season is amazing especially the pickled onions that go onto tacos. if you're at the bar, you gotta ask for Kelly it's a hook up!

I love this restaurant wonderful staff beautiful ambiance and tasty tacos! I always get the same thing the "calabaza" tacos and today it was not made with love there was a disgusting amount of grease dripping from my tacos.

Let's answer some questions…read more... DO I NEED A RESERVATION? I highly recommend it. Especially if you want to enjoy some of the more unique seating in the bar. WHERE IS IT???? Well, that's half the fun, isn't it? I will tell you, facing Louie the Troll, go east and keep your eyes open. My friends and I booked the fumoir which was a WONDERFUL surprise. Possibly the only spot in the bar that has proper doors. We each had a cocktail and got plenty of small bites. I got the Faraway Towns cocktail which was really yummy. They serve some pies, which we got the cheesecake and pecan, and those were crazy delicious. The lighting is quite dim, as expected, so please keep that in mind especially if your vision doesn't do well in such lighting. The whole experience was a lovely treat, HIGHLY recommend.

We tried walking in on a Wednesday and the host could not give us any time frame or promise…read moreanything but he said he would probably be able to make something work for us and give us a call. We were basically the only person on the list and we never got a call all night after waiting around and willing to go back immediately once he called us. I'm not really sure why he could not just offer to put us down in an open reservation time slot that was later. They definitely had some open, I was just hoping he'd be able to get us in earlier. We went back on Thursday because I really wanted to go. We made a reservation this time to be safe. When we got in, I saw how small it was so I understood us not being able to walk in the previous night. The ambiance was very cozy with dim lighting and I loved the couch seating. They had a call button to call over a waitress, and I have never seen that at any bar before. I thought it was a nice touch. Service was kind of slow but the drinks were really good.

Are we talking "On Heavens Gate!"…read more Yes, Bob Dylan, that inspirational author, songwriter, wordsmith, and artist has a Bourbon. Now they were looking for where to build his so called place to breathe life into it. That "it," place. It's not in Nashville, it's here in small little Louisville. What better place than an old church? Bourbon and Church! Amen! All are welcome! Now they don't make it here this is where they come to pour it and enjoy the flavors of it. Is life about the ride? How about dinner and some Heavens Bourbon made and inspired by Bob Dylan in a church. It's a must! Now this is a small venue and off the beaten track of life. What drew me? A large image of Bob Dylan on a building, mural style seemed out of place. Come to find out explore more and salut to a better version of heaven in this world of art, music, and words that have never been better than now. This is not just a church but the grounds house an art deco museum to his work. It's true dedication to the man of Bob Dylan. A Tennessee whiskey, distilled in Pleasureville, Ky. This the final stop here at the Last Refuge to celebrate his legacy and better aged bourbon among us.

This place came highly recommended for a restaurant to visit when in Louisville so it was our first…read morestop! Turning an old church into a bar/restaurant always makes for a unique environment. I loved walking through the rooms and seeing all the vintage details and stained glass. The Whiskey room has quite the shock factor with floor to ceiling bottles lining the walls. No complaints to be made about the service! It felt quick and smooth! The signature cocktails we ordered were very good (not pictured)! My only disappointment was the limited menu. The menu seemed to be mostly appetizers and pizza with some additional options for entrees. We ordered the Holy Fire Dip for a starter and it was delicious! It was warm and had great flavor. The waitress did need to bring more bread, the dipping options felt sparse. My husband and I split The Burnt Offering Pizza and Sanctuary Sliders, they were both solid. We both favored the pizza but would have liked more variety. I can see why this place comes highly recommended for the experience. I would definitely come back but hope they expand the menu by then!

For my last night in Louisville, I just happened to accidentally stumble upon this place on the way…read moreback to my hotel. Hipster speakeasy vibe is written all over the spot. I appreciated the amount of space, and there were even a few tables outside. Bar seating, table seating, couch seating... I think I peeped a small room in the back too... all the options!

I enjoyed just hanging out, people watching, and chatting with the friendly bartenders. They have cocktails and mocktails in abundance... there's literally something for everyone. And they even had these chocolate shot glasses. So cool! All in all, the place just seems like a perfect neighborhood bar.

I was very satisfied with that one and would probably come back again next time we're in town!

Reservations are on a 60 day rolling basis It's an extremely small space. I would say the space holds 45-50-ish people max, but that's including the bar and eyeballing it, so I could be crazy wrong. First thing I want to get out of the way, everyone was SO hospitable. Colton was our server and he was absolutely AMAZING. So attentive, but not annoying, helpful with recommendations. Mediterranean has many definitions these days, but I would describe this is as from the Levant region, either Palenstian or Israeli. It's hard to describe the food here because it's all delicious. We started with the cauliflower. Crisp, so well seasoned. I'm not sure how I will proceed because everything was "so well seasoned." We ordered our respective dishes, but got the salatim first, which consists of a bottomless rotating tray of dishes, including pickles and olives, purple cabbage slaw, peppers, carrots, babaganoush, marinated beans, summer chershi, and feta & mint. All served with toasty pita. We all got wildly different dishes. I was torn between the salmon, lamb, and steak. I got the steak, which was crazy tender, but I was so impressed by them that I wish I had trusted them enough to get the lamb (which my server described as not overly gamey). One of my companions got the branzino, which was light and flaky, served as a whole fish. Another attendee got the chicken and was pleased. Someone else got the salmon (served with tomato stew, lemon, and crispy chickpeas), which I sampled, and it was AMAZING. If I go back, I will get the salmon. It was flaky, tender, bursting with flavor. The drinks were all so light, original, and complex. Honestly, there is no way you can go wrong with this menu. I would come back here again and again.
