    Mole Poblano's sauce is nice and chocolatey, not for everyone but I did enjoy it. The fajitas and the burritos were a good choice.

    The food was good, the ambiance is a little creepy for my taste. The music was too loud, but the waitress did turn it down so we could enjoy a good conversation and a tasty meal.

    Best pozole EVER! My favorite place to grab the spicy soup, if you've never had it before you've got to try it! Be sure to ask for extra cilantro, chili seasoning and onions. DELICIOUS!! The staff is always great, attentive and has become like a second family. Veronica our server was amazing and so, so sweet!! Be sure to also check out their drinks specials for summer and their taco Monday specials as well

    La Catrina is a hidden gem nestled in an obscure shopping center located in West Haven beach area. Do not let the appearance of this shopping center deter you!! This place will offer you authentic Mexican cuisine and specials with delicious food, amazing drinks, friendly service, and a festive atmosphere. The menu at La Catrina features a wide variety of traditional Mexican dishes, including tacos, burritos, tostadas and delicious drinks! The food is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the flavors are bold and authentic with generous portions! The service at La Catrina although friendly was a little slow- but we did go on Cinco de mayo and it happen to be the Friday night dinner rush time. However, our server was really sweet and happy to make recommendations but immediately told us that she didn't speak English well. We had no issues in communicating with her although we had to be very attentive in how we ordered- for example we ordered 2 shots of Parton and she misunderstood that as double 2 shots for an order of 4 shots- it was a hilarious mishap avoided. We did try their amazing $6.50 margaritas special - the passion fruit and guava were generous in portion and STRONG the way I like it! We tried their Corn Elote for appetizer, the Camarones Tostadas, and the Pork carnitas tacos (all pictured here) and it was amazing!! This is a great place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends or family if you're looking for a great authentic Mexican restaurant. La Catrina is a great option. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is festive. I highly recommend La Catrina. You won't be disappointed!!

    Tacos de Birria

    Fantastic Service Fantastic Food I thought I had great Mexican food until my experience with La Catrina in West Haven I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. The staff are VERY friendly and welcoming. The ambience is truly beautiful with music and laughter filling the dining room. One bite of our Nacho appetizer and I immediately declared it the best nachos I've ever eaten in my life. My wife had a chicken burrito which was brilliant in color and flavor. My birria Tacos made me stop in my tracks and just acknowledge the fantastic galaxy of flavor swirling around my mouth. Sometimes there aren't enough words. words. Like now. Go visit. You won't be disappointed.

    La Catrina (parrillada)

    Excellent food and service, good music too!, prices and portions were good, the parrillada is more than enough for two people, me and my wife shared it.

    No veggie salsa (what is it?)

    Don't let the decor fool you. This restaurant is far from authentic Mexican cuisine. There is nothing fresh served here. I went here on a Friday afternoon hoping for a nice cold Margarita & order of delicious nachos. The Margarita tasted like syrup sugar water & the salsa in the nachos didn't have "any" vegetables in it. Portions were on the small side & the food almost looked like something a child platted. The salsa looked just like Frank's hot sauce; it sure looks like no salsa I ever seen. Too bad. With a little authenticity this restaurant can really pick up business, but it appears the chef & the manager really just don't care. I will never return.

    Diego's Salad

    I used Grubhub to deliver my first order from this recently new restaurant in West Haven, CT. I ordered the DIEGO SALAD ! It was very delicious and I was very happy with the delivery time, arriving 20 minutes earlier than expected. I will definitely order again and hopefully visit in person soon, as I will love to experience what else La Catrina has to offer. Thanks for everything

    The food and service were both quite good. The place was empty although it was a cold and rainy weekday.

    I went here on a Friday night and this was my second time here. The food has been excellent each…read moretime. The staff is very friendly but I will say that they are pretty slow. It took a while to get our orders taken and for our food to come out. The only dish I didn't enjoy this time was the tortilla soup. It was flavorless. A table nearby had a tomahawk steak and they did a table side show. Overall the food was a 7.9 Overall the service was a 7

    Dinner | $100+ | February 13, 2026…read more I called earlier today to reserve a table for three people for 7 PM. The gentleman who answered was professional, took my name and phone number, and clearly confirmed the reservation. When we arrived at 7 PM, we were told my name was not in the system. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the mistake, and no attempt to take responsibility. Instead, we were seated at a table near the kitchen without any explanation or courtesy. The front desk staff member's attitude was unprofessional and dismissive. In hospitality, basic respect and accountability are expected. A simple apology would have gone a long way, but none was offered. The food was average at best. The only positive part of the evening was the gentleman who served us -- he was professional, attentive, and courteous. His service stood in sharp contrast to the unacceptable front desk experience. This was meant to be part of our Valentine's Day Eve celebration, and the mishandling of the reservation completely undermined the experience. For a dinner costing over $100, this level of service is unacceptable. Very disappointing experience. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this restaurant based on how reservations and guests are treated.
