Food was good, service was great everyone so friendly. Place is clean and very welcoming

Taqueira Catrinas is the best taco shop in the Carrollton area. It's located in a newer section of a strip mall off of Marsh and Rosemeade. The staff is very nice and friendly, and helped me order their "best" tacos according to them even though they are all good. The interior is bright and colorful, and has a ton of figurines lined on the wall that were fun to look at. It was a casual vibe. I ordered 3 tacos with chips and salsa. The tatemada salsa with the chips was bold and tasty! I went with the rib, shrimp and pork adobada tacos. The Rib taco was the best one. It was simple and delicious. The meat was seasoned well, tender and juicy, and the caramelized onions were some of the best i've had. The shrimp taco was an elevated version of every shrimp taco i've had before. The shrimp was plump and fresh. The avocado mousse was creamy and flavorful and worked well with the entire taco. The pork adobada taco tasted good, but the pork was a little dry for my taste. Would have a loved a little more pineapple with it! read more

Our second visit was nothing like our first. We walked in well over an hour before closing and almost every table was put away and they looked closed. When we asked if they were open they assured us they were open so we sat down and ordered with a server. Soon after another small group came in and they also ordered. Once our food arrived it was an incomplete order and part of it was the wrong thing. When we asked for the missing tacos the server seemed put out by us bothering her but did get them for us. We also didn't get any chips and didn't even bring that up. (the other table got chips) Hopefully they were just having a bad night and this inconsistent service won't be repeated. read more

Second time in a month. Food is really good. Our friends ordered Guacamole for appetizer, it was really good. We ordered the cheese & chorizo appetizer, we will skip this the next time. I ordered carne asada plate, it was just okay. It had a spice that I did not particularly liked. I will try another dish next time. Hubby ordered shrimp tacos, he is super happy with the flavor and portion. Service was friendly and efficient. I just like the vibe of this place. read more

Not your average taqueria! The food is fantastic. I had chicken enchiladas. They were super good. They come with verde sauce, rice & charro beans. My friend had birria tacos. Those came with a dipping sauce that was great. Sodas come in bottles with a glass of ice. They have some specialty drinks, as well. Non alcoholic from what I saw. Not sure if they serve alcohol or not. Service was good. It's a small place with full service. Highly recommend. The salsas are unique also. Definitely a hidden gem! read more

Taqueria Catrinas - Chicken enchilada plate - Mexican Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Highly recommend this spot. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by friendly, attentive service. The food was exceptional. The consommé for the birria tacos had so much depth to it, with hints of chocolate and nutty flavor. The rib tacos and adobada tacos were flavorful and moist. The salsas were delicious, and if you need something spicy, ask for the habanero pickled onions and radishes. This is a top notch tacos spot and a new favorite. read more

Unsuspecting little place in a mostly dead strip mall - don't let that fool you. I ordered the beef tacos and the amount of meat on one taco is so much! You can make another taco with the fall out. Meat was delicious and tender. They bring you a complimentary mini chicken tostada. Food comes out quick and staff is friendly. Limited menu but good options to choose from. read more

Absolute 5 star place! Service was great and friendly! The menu is burnt into wood and it's done so well I've never seen that before. The guac was such a large portion with hot chips! We also got the chicken tinga tostadas which were stacked high and tasty. The real star of the show were the incredibly flavorful tacos we tried 4 different ones and each one was amazing! My order of favorites: Steak, chorizo, pork, and then shrimp Couldn't imagine a better experience all around! read more

I was visiting this area ans trusted Yelp reviews and visited here for lunch. Food was ok but nothing to rave about. Steak had a bit of smell. Salsa was good and the Birria was ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to get here but not bad if you are craving some tacos. read more

This place was recommended by a co-worker who also lives in the area. And honestly, at first I kind of ignored the recommendation for awhile because one, we have quite a few taco places in the area and two, I didn't really trust the source. Glad to say I was wrong on all fronts. This was such a nice surprise. I feel like taco places are usually either in little grocery stores/trucks/gas stations, or extremely up-scale, boogie, pretentious restaurants where it's $7 a taco. I'm glad to report that this has the perfect feel for a taco restaurant. Classy, clean, high-quality restaurant feel, without crossing the line of being pretentious. And to anyone who knows me well, knows I'm a huge sucker for sauces and spice so when I saw the trio of sauces coming towards the table after we sat down, I was a happy camper. And then after ordering our tacos (pork, steak and birria) we each received a small free chicken tostada. Such a nice touch and honestly what pushed this from a 4 to a 5. I love the confidence in the place. "You already ordered? Well, here's a little app to get you started, on the house that you're going to like." As someone mentioned already, they pack these little suckers with meat. No skimpy tacos here. All of them were great, but I really enjoyed the steak the best. read more

Not SUPER vegetarian friendly but a really cute spot with good service. Everything is super fresh and authentic but lacked salt in most dishes for me. Mushroom & Peppers Taco: 7/10 Elotes (corn): 6/10 Oxaca Cheese Quesadilla: 5/10 (too oily and bland for me) Ps: they serve lil complimentary chicken tostadas and my friend who eats meat said it was the best item there read more

Taqueria Catrina's is a really sweet neighborhood spot with genuinely friendly people. Everyone we interacted with was kind and welcoming, and the whole place has a relaxed, comfortable vibe. The complimentary tostadas were a thoughtful touch and really delicious while we waited. The tacos were super flavorful and every bite had a punch of flavor. The guacamole was fresh but a little salty for my taste and a bit on the expensive side. Service was pretty slow during our visit, so it may not be the best place if you're in a rush. Still, the staff stayed warm and positive the whole time. Overall a nice local spot with good food and kind people. Get there early, limited seating but they made it work! read more

Tacos here are yummy! Not so much like the gas station street tacos but still good none the less. They gave us a chicken tostada while we waited for our food. Service was great and they checked on us very frequently. She was really kind and explained some items to my friend. Mangonada was really good and not overly sweet. The birria could've used a bit more salt imo but the salsa had such a good kick to it!! Would definitely come back here to try their other dishes but its relatively authentic read more

We have been on the search for delicious, authentic Mexican food, and today we found it at Taqueria Catrinas. We started with their guacamole and chips. That alone would have brought us back. Both were so fresh! Then, my husband got the carne asada plate and I got three tacos-the birria, shrimp and pork tacos. All were brought out hot, beautifully plated, and tasted amazing! The atmosphere is very cool with comfortable seating. The restaurant itself is spotless, and the service was excellent. Can't say enough good things about our new go-to Mexican restaurant! read more

I freaking love this place. They have the BEST Birria tacos ever and every single other thing we've tried has been amazing. It's always very clean, everyone is friendly, and the fooooood! Omg the food is so good! Do yourself a favor and try this place. read more

Amazing!! They open until 11:30pm and their tacos are good and fresh. The elote was good filled with flavors but we loved their shrimp taco which was bursting with flavors. The service was great and the ambiance inside was so nice. I really liked how the cucumber water can be refilled. read more

Just wow!! Best tacos I've had in a while. My favorites were the rib and shrimp tacos- they are a must try!! We did have to send a few tacos back due to an allergy that we had notified them of prior to ordering, so service could've definitely been a bit better but the food was really too good. Horchata was very tasty as well, I'll be back very soon! read more

Great ambiance. But the service was terrible. I had made reservations for 12 and they were like "we didn't receive anything" and then I showed my confirmation. But they're yet to make our table. We asked them several times and eventually they did. Our server was also very rude and wasn't even trying to serve us properly, multiple times we asked for water and bowls for appetizers. It took a long time to get those to our table. there was an older lady who was kind enough to help us out. She was very polite and friendly. I would say food was ok. I've had better birria and consume from other taquerias. I don't know whether they were still new. But it seemed like only one person cared enough to help us. read more

This has become my new go-to local Mexican spot. The food is authentic and so delicious. The restaurant itself has the cutest decor and is so clean!

Already looking forward to coming back next week to try other food! read more

Had such a great dinner at Taqueria Catrinas! The inside of the restaurant is super cozy, and our waitress was so bubbly and sweet. She even brought my friend and me complimentary tostadas and they were delicious! I ordered the beef tacos and omg... they were loaded. Seriously felt like each one had the protein of three mini tacos. We finished with churros and ice cream, also so yummy read more

Taqueria Catrinas - Enchiladas and corn - Mexican Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

We noticed a taco spot nearby our church one day and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is small with limited seating, but the vibe is clean and modern, definitely not your typical taco small shop. What really stood out was the customer service. The staff was extremely kind and accommodating, which made the experience pleasant from the start. Food: Bistek Tacos (5/10): These tasted like steak tacos I could easily make at home - my wife even agreed too. The steak portions were generous, but the large cuts made it harder to get that seared, charred flavor I was hoping for. Chopping the meat finer would have gone a long way. Adobada Piña Asada (4/10): I love a good pastor taco, but this missed the mark. It lacked seasoning and sear, and the two oversized pineapple chunks felt out of place. Instead of blending into every bite, the pineapple was gone in just a couple bites, leaving the taco unbalanced. Now I know this is a hot topic for some people, as they do not like pineapples on their pastor tacos but thats the traditional way of doing it. But this is just not the right way for me. Molcajete Taquero (6/10): A short rib taco that had more flavor than the others and was probably my favorite if I had to pick out of the 3. But the execution wasn't practical, it was basically an entire short rib inside a tortilla. Hard to eat, and it would've worked much better if the meat had been cut up. Horchata (9/10): The star of the show! Perfectly balanced, smooth, and not overly sweet. I'd come back just for this. Highly recommend for a hot summer day. The salsas.... if you know my reviews, then you know I like a good kick. The salsas here were not it! It was very low-mid and a bit watery to me. This did not help enhance the tacos at all. Overall: 5/10 based on food alone. I get that presentation is a big part of dining these days, but I came in wanting authentic, flavorful tacos and this wasn't it. Prices are also on the higher side ($4-6 per taco), which makes it harder to justify. If you're looking for a semi-nice sit-down taco experience, this could work for you. But if you're craving true street tacos, you'd be better off at a food truck or gas station spot. read more

This place was divine! From the Dia de Los Muertos decor to the friendliness of the staff to the cooking show on the wall to the amazing horchata and food, I highly recommend this place! My kids got the quesadilla and taco with beef head (which is just small sliced beef). My husband got the chicken enchilada and I got the birria tacos. They were so delicious! And the way the enchilada was decorated, with pickles on top and cilantro, I think it was a professional chef in the back. You can tell they put so much pride into their food and decor! I love this place and would gladly go back! read more

This is upscale quality food in a strip mall parking lot. The chicken Tinga tostadas had my abuelita's spices, on a tostada with an unreal level of crispy. The quality of service and the profile of spices makes me feel like I'm stealing. I'd put this up against any upscale Dallas restaurant. I also love the quirky Catarina figurines strewn throughout. read more

Unbelievable! So good! First, the menus are awesome. They are made out of wood and so cool. The day of the dead decor was fun and the servers were so kind! The food was amazing! Everything we ate was so good. Guacamole, epic! Carne asada, pork, shrimp, rib, and Beria tacos were all incredible. They brought us a chicken tostada appetizer for free and it was one of the best things I have eaten in a while, filled with flavor!!! I can't recommend enough! read more

Wow this is a hidden gem of a mexican restaurant! Highly recommend visiting if you're in Plano/Carrollton area. I ordered the birria tacos and chicken quesadillas - 9/10 on both!

The restaurant is in an interesting shopping center but don't let the outside fool you, was super friendly inside! read more

Came here with my bf and the decor so cute, the food is nicely plated and service is good. The food is good but there's something about the food that I think could be better... my main thing is the salsa is a bit sweet and mild. I prefer some fiery salsa so this wasn't for me. We got the birria tacos and I really enjoyed it! Rice and beans were good. They had complimentary chips and salsas which we enjoyed. I think this place is a solid 4/5 stars. read more

This is a wonderful mom and pop shop. When you come in, you're warmly welcomed with awesome decorations and lovely staff. The guacamole is fantastic. I thought the flavor was perfect, no salt needed. And the portion is HUGE. Even with two people, there were a lot of leftovers. The owner Juan was really sweet and surprised us with complementary chicken tinga tostado. We ordered steak, shrimp, and adobe pork tacos. The flavor just blows you away but the adobe pork has something extra magical. The warm churros themselves came out extremely quick and were just perfect to eat with ice cream after a hearty meal. I cannot recommend this place enough. There's something really joyful about this place because you can just hear people break out in laughter after they start eating delicious food. read more

Found this place as we were driving home from the airport. Saw the good reviews and they did not disappoint. Since it was late, we took the food home and we were amazed. The guac was so good....perfectly seasoned. The tacos were so delicious (even after driving for 20 minutes). We got the Birria tacos, al pastor, and shrimp. All fantastic. We will definitely be back. Also, I want to note that they were cleaning the kitchen and it looked super clean. I may be white but my cousin is Ecuadorian and she couldn't stop talking about those tacos read more
