    Ceviche
    Kathy G.

    We ate here tonight! The outside of the restaurant looked new and modern and welcoming. We were seated right away. We chose a high top. They have a nice bar with a big selection of beers and cocktails. We ordered ceviche and it was really flavorful and fresh. The chips were warm and salsa was great as well. My husband ordered camarones a la Diabla, and I got camarones a la ajillo. We both enjoyed our dishes. The service was great and our waitress attentive. Another person stopped to check in on us as well and inquired if everything was to our liking. We'd definitely go back!

    My family and I often meet at the same Mexican restaurant on 25A in Troy, Ohio. Recently that restaurant had changed hands and we heard it's not the same (not in a good way either) so we decided to give La Catrina a chance since it is also kind of new in this area. The restaurant is setup so nice, it's dark inside which has a calming feel and wide open. There was a small stage which I guess they sometimes do karaoking but today it was setup for "Day of the Dead" (it's October so I'm guessing in celebration of Halloween?). Our server was really friendly and knowledgeable. We had a party of 9 and she took our orders and handled us very well. Husband ordered street tacos and he was pleased with them--he always gets the "trifecta"; beef, chorizo and chicken. The beef and chorizo were good as expected but the chicken was dry...as he suspected it would be. I ordered a seafood chimichanga (which isn't on the menu) but I specifically asked if it could be shrimp and scallops (which are both available throughout the menu). I was told it would be no problem, however when I got my plate it was definitely shrimp and fish--no scallops. Also, when our plates first came out, the "red" sauce shocked us as it was not red, it was a deep brown. BUT no worries, it tasted good and we do not believe it's brown because it's burnt or any other reason that would cause it to be bad. My kiddos were happy with the rice and beans--though we did feel it was a smaller portion that the competition in the area. I'm curious enough to return at least one more time to give them another taste.

    The service was great, food was excellent, price is right. It get the big '5'. We read the other reviews about slow service but that was not our experience tonight. We had our meals less than 5 minutes after ordering. The whole experience was great! I had the Torta Cubana. It came with salad (that I used in the torta) and fries. The fries were crispy and delicious with some type of crunchy coating. A+ for that one! We had Negro Modelo beers with dinner and I finished with an 1820 tequila- nice! My SO had fish and carnitas tacos. They were a perfectly seasoned set of tacos. Wonderful! They also came with a salad, nice! I'll offer this, Mexican beer should be on tap. They have it by the bottle, on tap would be nicer. Oh, yea! We will be back. It was great!

    Perfect every time! Javi is so welcoming and appreciates his customers! We are fans! Highly recommend the strawberry skinny margarita too!

    Medium peach margarita to go

    Very impressed with this place. I'm never not in the mood to try Mexican food! This building has been so many different things but I was very pleased with this venture. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Both seem to be spaced appropriately for social distancing. I came inside to place a carry out order and sat at a table until my food was ready. I ordered the chicken chimichangas with a side of rice and veggies and a jumbo peach margarita. My meal was good! It filled me up and I had enough left over for a second meal. The chicken has good flavor and the chimichanga wasn't overcooked. The red sauce was new for me, I was expecting cheese on top which it didn't have but still I would order it again. The rice was typical Mexican rice and the veggies was a sautéed mix of mushroom, onion, broccoli and peppers. I really enjoyed it although some may be expecting something else. The peach margarita was tasty. I just wish I could've had the option to order the jumbo size to go. They limit you to a medium if you're taking it to go. The meal also came with chips, salsa and a salad. I used the salsa the next morning to top some eggs on my breakfast burrito. It was so yummy! If you haven't tried salsa on some scrambled eggs you have not lived! Almost forgot that I ordered the rice dessert with mango. Not my favorite thing. It was very watery and I thought it would be thicker like pudding. Wouldn't order thank again but I would come back for the food!

    Chicken tortilla soup
    Ben S.

    (New Mexican restaurant) It's exactly like club 55 when you walk in the door. Massive open areas throughout scream for more tables. It's like everyone sits along the walls, kind of a weird layout. Service is slow, Confused, to be expected for the first month or so. First food item: chips and salsa My son loves it. Lol. Chips are same flavor of la fiesta in Troy however the chips are thicker. Salsa has spice! Good spice, not overbearing but perfect. I totally see people in Troy complaining it's to hot but I love it. Guacamole is a more creamy texture than chunky, has a lot of lime flavor and is different than most guacamole I've had. Very good. My meal came with a chicken tortilla soup, it looks great, it's not. It's like chicken broth with chicken, some rice, cherry tomatoes, cilantro. Boring taste, no flavor, complete waste of space in my stomach. Avoid it. My meal - camarones en crema de chipotle (gulf shrimp in spicy chipotle cream) beans and rice are great, fluffy, great texture, probably some of the best beans I've had with a dish. The shrimp (could be larger) in chipotle sauce was really good as well, again some heat to it that was a really nice touch. Visually the dish was a not pleasing to the eye but overall was pretty good. Also in my dish wer two chipotle peppers that were cooked and soft. When I bit into them they exploded with flavor and heat. My eyes got huge and I thought, holy crap what is this! Excellent touch to this dish. My Sons meal - chicken street tacos, served with cilantro, onion, and lime. He really enjoyed the rice, and said the tacos were great. I feel the food gets a solid 4.5, service was towards a 2 but I understand they are new so for now I'll hold firm with a 4 star review. I look forward to coming back.

    My husband and I came here for a quick date night and I am glad we did! I love the decor and the tall ceilings! Our service was wonderful! My husband ordered the Cuban and sad it was phenomenal- best he had had in awhile. I had the fajitas and the were good but don't amazing- steak was tough and over done. Chips queso and salsa were all yummy! Our margaritas were also great! They offered us a sample of a spicy margarita And we loved it- something different! I'd give them a solid 4.5 and we will be back!

    This has become our favorite place to stop when we are traveling to see the in-laws. We found it randomly through yelp and now it's probably my favorite Mexican restaurant. I've had some sort of their mole each visit and it never disappoints. My husband loves their chimichangas and our son eats their cheese quesadilla more than he eats anything I make it home. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly and they've been taken care to follow the Covid guidelines.

    Excellent food and atmosphere. Had their street tacos; steak, chicken, and tinga served with rice and chicken tortilla soup, all was delicious and presented well. Will definitely be back!

    Best salsa in town & got to have the jumbo La Catrina margarita.

We each had different dishes-- Green Chile Stew, Three Sisters (I asked for a combo of chorizo and beef and they said, "Of course!"), Sandia Sopapilla with shredded beef. All were excellent and were attractively plated-- it wouldn't have mattered, but it was those little extras that really elevated the experience. We were also given a bowl of their latest salsa to try-- sweet and mildly spicy watermelon! We are regulars here and always enjoy the food and the pleasant ambiance, but this brunch was truly exceptional. We ended our meal with a plate of puffy Sopapillas with honey to share. Delicious! **This is New Mexican and NM-inspired food, not the same as Mexican or Tex-Mex.** If you're not familiar with it, you may ask for samples of sauces and meats before you order! NM cuisine is less about piles of cheese and taco shells and more about the flavors of their regional peppers (which they fly in fresh here!). It's a blend of Mexican, Spanish and Pueblo Indigenous foods, not American-Mexican. And yes, you still get great chips & salsa, but you're going to want to pass on the refills to make room for the stars of the meal-- the e

Our server was friendly and provided great service. I started my meal with a beer. They offer many popular Mexican Lager style beers on draft and in cans. They also have rotating drafts. I opted for an IPA draft. The beer paired well with the chips and salsa. I struggled making a decision as many brunch items looked great. I landed on the Hueveos New Mexican. This was different from most brunch items I tried but it was very good. The green chile pork had a bit of heat for me but I still enjoyed it. The tortillas, sauce and queso were all excellent. Whether you are looking for brunch, lunch or dinner I recommend giving Chile Verde a try. They are three for three in my limited sample size.
