The food here is SOOO GOOOD! Affordable quick service as well! I highly recommend this place. I live nearby but I would easily drive out of my way to come here. The atmosphere always is positive, never had a bad vibe here . Personal favorite menu item is the carne asada fries 10/10 delicious read more

Awesome, un like some people say! The food is great, get tacos! The area is very welcoming!

Stopped in at 10:00 am needing some food. I didn't see any evidence that they do breakfast, so ordered a huarache pastor. No one here seemed to speak English. They had a grill out front barbecuing some brisket which smelled great. The shop is tiny and kind of makeshift but it has everything it needs. My huarache was gigantic with all the toppings. It had absolutely zero spice or chiles though I supposed I could have asked for some. read more

This unassuming little delight will surprise you. The surroundings are simple when you walk in but the bright and colorful sign on their counter is the clue to what awaits you. The menu is packed with standards and a list of meat options longer than a large restaurant. We tried a smattering of items including the super nachos, Tex Mex crispy tacos, Al pastore taco, chicken burrito, beef chimichanga, and brisket chimichanga. Everyone gave a thumbs up and my brisket chimi was amazing! We like to try places we haven't been before and even though I was underwhelmed walking in the door, I am flying high. Focus on the sign because it's colors are a bright as their food is flavorful! read more

Went here to grab a quick work lunch. It is small with not much seating but the service is quick and the food is good and lots of it. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area. read more

La Catrina is sooo good!! Seriously the cutest hole in the wall Mexican place. Family owned and the owners are so nice! We got a bunch of things to try; loved the birria, burritos, and all of the tacos. They gave us homemade flan to try as well and it was so good!! Seriously go here and help support small businesses! read more

Delicious food! We tried the Gringas (tacos but grilled face down with cheese) and a burrito. It's a bit of a hole in the wall with minimalist decorations and tables. But sometimes that's how you know it's legit. I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality. The sala bar was topped off and had delicious salsas and sides. Staff was kind and helpful. Food came out pretty quickly. Not a lot of places to sit if you have a large group. Plenty of parking in the lot by Dave's market. Highly reccomend! read more

La Catrina is still here and still cooking. I love their normal menu of pastor tacos, asada ... But now they have brisket! What? Yes, brisket. There are a lot of great taco places around, so everyone has a favorite. But give this place a try if you haven't. You may find a new rotation. read more

Only one type of tacos offered. Small menu. Limited seating area, almost non-existent. read more

What a hidden gem. Had an early lunch of grilled fish tacos and they were spectacular. Hot and fresh and you could taste the fish, unlike many I have had in the past. I recommend La Catrina to anyone who loves good Mexican food. read more

Delicious and Cute spot. The employees were super friendly. The food was good. We got street tacos and a vegetable burrito. The burrito was HUGE! And the tacos had more than enough meat. Their salsa bar had a lot of options. I always like when they have pico de gallo in the salsa bar. Overall, a cute little spot. Worth a visit. Good prices and atmosphere for a lot of good food. read more

Awesome tacos. A little small inside so probably want it to go. Can't go wrong here, but I love the asada and red salsa.

I have been to La Catrina probably 25 times in the last year, and they have made the food perfectly every single time. They are always super friendly and seem genuinely happy to speak with you and to serve you. read more

We have been living in the vicinity of this restaurant for years. We just barely started eating here after my husband stopped by on a whim and LOVED it. I've tested out well reviewed street tacos all over Utah from St. George to Salt Lake. This place is definitely our favorite quick taco spot. I think it's the well seasoned meat for me. We've had the chicken, steak, chorizo and Pastor (pork) street tacos. Although I've only tested the tacos on the menu so far my absolute favorite item was the Tex Mex crispy taco. I thought they were just dreamy, the tortilla wasn't overly greasy and had a light crisp flavor. Very small space with limited indoor seating options but it's absolutely perfect for take out. We purchased 12 tacos and fed our family of 5 for 20 dollars! Very difficult to come by this abundantly reasonable pricing for fresh food made with care. Finally the staff is always friendly and informative. Update- We've already returned! We tested out the Rolled taco plate, Sopa (topped with their green avocado salsa and limes), fries topped with meat, cheese, guacamole and sour cream (the kids loved those) and chips and salsa. I think the rolled taco plate might be my go to while I pick through the rest of the menu. Update- My husband and I stopped by for lunch and they were grilling brisket and pork belly! Probably one the most serendipitous day of my life. We had been painting all morning and the brisket and pork belly were divine. read more

I've been searching for the best flan in Provo and I think I've found it. Not only is the flan to die for, but the service is wonderful. Such kind people. It's a small little place, but the food is better than the "elegant" Mexican restaurants in town. read more

Good service, good food, cheap prices! We loved the fresh salsa bar and we all enjoyed our food. The tacos were all seasoned and cooked well. The only downer for me is the atmosphere, only a couple tables and they weren't cleaned yet when we arrived. I would get takeout next time but return for the awesome prices. They are a much needed addition in Edgemont area. read more

What a solid little find. There are multiple reasons that I am giving this place 5 stars, but it definitely helps that it is right down the road from my house :). Their tacos are delicious, they are the best I have had in the area. The seasoning on the meats are delicious, and the house made chorizo was by far one of the highlights for me. Not to mention their salsas are equally delectable. Price wise, you get a lot for what you pay which is always nice. The interior is small, so I would recommend that right now, especially during COVID that if it is busy, get it to go and eat it in the comfort of your own home. I have been there too many times in the past few weeks, and I do not see any signs of slowing down. Definitely worth a try. Next up, I will try their breakfast menu. More to come! read more

Some of the best Mexican food we have ever had! (We have eaten at over 200 Mexican Restaurants). It is a small neighborhood restaurant that has big restaurant tastes. The Salsa Bar is excellent. You need to give it a try. The shredded beef chimichanga is the best! read more

Nice place to stop by for a few quick tacos. They have a good variety of toppings and sauces at their salsa bar. I ordered the carnitas street tacos. I ordered the gringa tacos once in the past. They were good, but there was too much cheese for me. I am sure some people would enjoy that, though. Also, the restaurant is pretty tiny, so don't bring a large group if you hope to dine inside. read more

Very good gringas and taquitos. I'd go back for sure. Fun bottled drinks too and that's always nice with tacos. read more

Food was bomb.com lady and her daughter were very welcoming I will def be coming back .oh great deals too. Come check it out!

Decided to give it a try based on the reviews being all 5's. Food was marginal , I had rolled tacos and hubby had the chimicanga. I also tried the gringa based off other reviews. I was not as impressed, the meat was dry (barbacoa) and not what I expected. Pinto beans versus refried and a small portion of average tasting rice. Might have just been the day but if you are looking for cheap and fast this fills the bill. Service was great and no issues there. Two salsa options and some avocado creme.sauces were good.. Only 4 tables in the building so maybe consider takeout. read more

Food was not good. Served us a chicken taco when the menu said beef. Rice was under cooked, beans had bad flavor. Quesadilla was dry and meat was super fatty. Was expecting great food, but very disappointed. Ambiance wasn't the best, not a single high chair. read more

My family and i LOVE LOVE LOVE La Catrina. It is a family run joint so you can be assured that the food is authentic and tastes homemade. The owner/cook is the sweetest, kindest lady. I feel like she is my sweet aunt cooking for us and she always is so genuinely happy to see us when we go eat there. I am all for a good bean burrito (they are great) but I tried the asado burrito and it's to die for. We have also tried and love the al pastor burrito. Everyone should get the horchata. Best I've ever had! Support small businessEs! The owner was telling us that they have been affected by COVID and they need our business to stay in business! read more

La Catrina Mexican Grill - Burrito al pastor y burrito carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Provo, Utah

It's Good. Fresh. Good salsa bar. Small restaurant, but a great hidden gem. Food is well seasoned. Run by a really kind and friendly family.

I ordered thier mocaheta for lunch, it came out within five minutes which is strangely fast for a meal that includes chicken, flank steak, chorizo sausage, onion, cactus and shrimp. All the food including the sausage was dry and obliviously not fresh and was the worst bland tasting mocaheta Ive ever had, barely any sauce in it. I was the only one at our table that ate the shrimp and that night I started getting a headache. I went to sleep and woke up around three in the morning with a severe and terribly painful headache and sweating over my whole body, then I started throwing up. Eventually I fell asleep again but woke a couple hours later with the same symptoms and threw up more. They served me who knows how many days old food and shrimp that they probably warmed up in a microwave and gave me severe food poisoning. Today is day three and I'm still recovering. Needless to say do not order their shrimp and if your food shows up unrealistically fast do not eat it and get your money back or risk getting severely sick or dying from it if your not in good health which I'm in very good health but food poisoning from shellfish is very dangerous. Beware and don't order any shrimp. read more

I ordered the Carne asada fries. The first red flag should have been that the girl taking the order said crema and sour cream are the same thing. Th fries didn't have any cheese on them. They came out quickly, but it's hard to determine how good they could have been without any cheese. read more

This is hands down the best Mexican food I've had in Provo! I got al pastor and carnitas gringas that were very yummy. They do not skimp on the meat! My wife got the rolled tacos which were also very delicious. It was all reasonably priced as well. We will be coming back very soon!! read more

Thought we'd give this little place a try after the BYU game. Super glad we did. The mole dish here is better than the mole at Red Iguana. And the portion is really healthy for $11. We also got green enchiladas with Al Pastor. These were also quite good, if not as as the mole. read more

You would think that there is no way to improve on Mexican Street Tacos. But you'd be wrong. Try putting a layer of grilled cheese on that taco and now we have next level street tacos. La Catrina on N Canyon Rd in Provo is a place worth going to. They have been open 5 months. It appears to be a family shop. You get to watch them cooking your food. They have a full compliment of salsas and taco add-ons. The food is delicious and filling. I think the most flavorful part was the little grease that gets on the tortillas while they warm. They also have burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and chimichangas. read more

This is an excellent, authentic Mexican food joint. The owner and her help are awesome. I like the Barbacoa a lot. The tacos are excellent and the enchiladas are good as well. The salsa bar is great and has lots of fresh options. read more

So good. You will not regret going here. The best family restaurant and some really good food. Everything I've tried is delicious. The 20 dollars deal for a pound of meat plus rice and beans is a great deal and the best date night. Salsa and guacamole bar available. read more

What a gem! One of the most authentic Mexican restaurants I've been to in Utah. It's been hiding in plain sight right next to Day's market. The owner is from Oaxaca, and she couldn't have been more friendly. The magnificent chimichangas were made fresh right before our eyes, and the salsas were out of this world. I highly recommend it!! I've found a new favorite. read more

We had such a great experience going there. Their prices are great, the food is delicious, and the owner is so nice!! Plus, the theme and decorations of the restaurant are so fun, it's definitely a place I want to find myself again haha! **ASADA FRIES are the thing to get. If you want a big meal or want to share, they're huge!! And loaded with guacamole and cream and pieces of steak all on top of a bed of thick fries read more

Loved this place. So happy they're around the corner. $1.50 tacos so my husband and I got a fun local meal for under $10. The chicken tacos were spot on and my husband loved the barbaccoa and carne asada. We'll be back! read more

The owners are kind and gracious and the food is seriously so good. The carne asada fries are to die for! This is my favorite mexican food in town. Ive been here probably 10 times and it's always on my list when i'm looking to eat out! read more

This place is wonderful!!! The gringa tacos and carne asada fries are amazing!! We just got back from Mexico City and this is the best and most comparable place we've found in Utah County. read more

I saw they only had a few reviews, so I took their 5 star rating with a grain of salt and decided to try it for myself after having several friends recommend it to me. I only ordered 2 Gringas Tacos (1 asada and 1 chicken). Wow! Incredibly filling and two of the best tacos I have ever had. Do your self a favor and stop in to this small family run taco shop, you will be glad you did. read more

Love their churros and tamales! Street tacos are great too! Great service and locally owned.
