Chuy was the best server. He took our order and didn't even have to write it down--- everything came out perfectly! I ordered the steak fajitas; large portion, flavorful and hot! My husband ordered the chicken mole enchiladas (cream on the side); authentic flavor, packed w chicken. Also the chicken torta, very good! The grand finale was the churros w vanilla ice cream-- served warm, fresh and delicious! They were all very welcoming and attentive. I can see them greet their usuals with extra love! The ambiance is family friendly! This was our first time and we will be back! Thank you!!!! read more

Villa Catrina - Steak fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Arcadia, California

Ordered chicken fajita plate, chicken mole enchiladas, enchilada with crab and the Al Mojo de Ajo. Out of all the dishes the De Ajo plate was the best. Nothing we ordered is out of the ordinary good. It was good nothing special, rice beans come with everything we ordered sans the Ajo. The Ajo came with vegetables. Nothing here had any kind of flavor that was outstanding . Service is very friendly and prompt. Prices for each meal were around $24. read more

Food was excellent. Gorditas, carnitas, were so filling. You can choose ground beef, carnitas, chicken and shredded beef. They serve you two and they were staffed I was barely able to put the top in my mouth. (Lol). It came with rice, beans and guacamole. My husband had The Villa burrito with chicken (which was very tasty) and he asked for all black beans, no rice. They brought him a big bowl which he had to bring back home. Our server, Rosa, was so sweet and helpful. The ambiance, typical, T.V.'s showing sports and a Mariachi concert. If we are ever in this area again we will have to stop here. Sorry no pictures. I realized after we ate. read more

We absolutely love this place for their Sunday brunch buffet (11am-2pm). We came here for Easter Sunday and they had a live mariachi band. They have a taco and tortilla station outside while the omelet station, other hot foods and desserts were inside. They always have menudo and pozole, which I love. The variety of foods and desserts are on point and all delicious ( rice,beans, bacon, papas, chili rellenos, shrimp cocktail, cerviche, lengua, veggies, carnitas, birria, taquitos, flan, stuffed churros, macarons, etc). Their waitstaff is always kind and attentative. Their buffet price is about $30 per person including 3 mimosas or $40 per person for unlimited mimosas. I highly recommend their buffet if you get a chance to check out it. read more

We came here as guests for a baby shower and had the back event room with buffet style dinner. The food was not hot but the fajita mix was okay.. not good not great. The servers were attentive the first hour we were there and they slowly stopped picking up plates and brining drinks even though the party was still going strong. The room itself was nice but had zero windows. We went over the to the bar area which was way more fun and had windows lol the patio looked nice too. I'd come back to try the patio if we were in the area. But let me tell you the drinks are pricey!!! $32 for a vodka cran in a short glass and a spicy margarita. I was appalled. read more

Looks like they host a lot of events and banquets here. Very lively yet chill Mexican restaurant to try. The customer service is pleasant and table service is prompt. Though, wish they had refilled my water automatically without having to ask. The Taquito Trio was filling and delish, good portion of rice and beans too. My friend got the Empanadas and she enjoyed them. Complimentary side of chips and salsa were solid. Not one of the absolute best Mexican spots I've eaten at, but still satisfies that Mexican food craving. read more

My family has been coming here for years. This place always has the best service amazing food and great drinks. Even with the seasonal flies that come after horse racing season I will never complain about the atmosphere over here it is always so welcoming. As a Hispanic woman I always feel at home here. I don't think I have ever come here and have had a bad experience or have had a bad dish here. read more

Great service food and drinks. They got the good quality tequila. Good vibes. Will go back when in town

Our server was so kind and made great recommendations. The food was authentic and fresh. Complimentary salsa and tortilla chips, the chips were warm and crispy, you can tell it was freshly fried! Overall experience was amazing, we ordered the steak ranchero and the combination plate (I chose pork tamale and chicken enchilada) and I would order the steak ranchero again. I would come back and try other items but everything was tasty! read more

The service was alright, but the flies and gnats around our food were a bit much. We had to pack up and leave right away! Flies were landing all over my toddler, and all we got was a "we know" or "I'm sorry." We didn't even take more than a couple of bites of food yet, and nothing was done. It was just not okay. read more

I've had catering from here twice now and I gotta say the Chile Verde and Mole Poblano are gooood. The pork in Chile verde isn't spicy but the sauce is flavorful and pork tender. Pour that over some rice and there you have it. The chicken in mole poblano isn't too sweet, nice savory mole again pair with rice and all set. Need to dine in here some day! read more

This is probably about my 3rd time coming here! My partner and I at this point always love coming here! Stopped by today for some lunch and drinks! Fajitas were bomb! I got the steak, my partner got the chicken, you get a nice big side of rice and beans with your choice of tortilla (corn or flour). You get chips and salsa in the beginning and the waitress was kind enough to bring me some habanero salsa! The waitress also made our drinks and were they perfect!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Villa Catrina! read more

My wife and I were in the area and looking for a good Mexican restaurant. We found Villa Catrina on Yelp--it was the closest spot and had great reviews, so we decided to give it a try. I was seriously craving enchiladas and chicken mole, and when I saw they had Chicken Mole Enchiladas on the menu, that sealed the deal. The place was packed, which we took as a good sign, and even so, we were seated right away out on the patio. The service was friendly and fast, and everyone made us feel welcome. Now, about those enchiladas... WOW. The Chicken Mole Enchiladas were absolutely amazing. Honestly, they were so good that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to order anything else here. Highly recommend Villa Catrina if you're in the area. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great experience. At the entrance are the ladies making homemade tortillas and making tacos and quesadillas for the buffet. We arrived just 45 minutes after opening and they were packed and told we had to wait 30 minutes. Special shoutout to the manager Renato who immediately came to us and offered us a drink while we wait. We initially went with the intention of ordering off the menu but changed our minds for open buffet. Renato personally walked us to show us the options at the buffet and where everything was. He was amazing from start to finish. Thank you for making us (biracial couple) feel so welcome :) The food was all amazing! Not sure what these reviews are talking about. Every single thing I tasted was fresh, seasoned perfectly and authentic. They have everything from birria, ceviche, enchiladas, omelet station, lengua in salsa verde, rice and beans, shrimp, waffles, fries, a salsa bar, aguas frescas, you name it. One of my favorites were the unlimited macarons! I mean, in Vegas you get 4 tiny ones for the price of this buffet. Everything was top notch and I can't wait to go back. The ambiance was lively and they had love mariachi playing the entire time. It was a very cool experience. I'm so glad we decided to give this place a try. One I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the LA area. read more

A top tier mexican restaurant in Arcadia. There is not one negative thing I can say from my experience. Every single item was delicious. From the horchata to the full entree plates.

I really liked the layout of this restaurant. It has a small outdoor dining area by the front entrance, a main dining room to the right with a bar and small stage for a band. Continue down the hallway and the kitchen and buffet service area is to the right and a small dining room on the left. Straight ahead is separate dining room perfectly setup for a private banquet room. We were with a large group of 50 guests and ate the buffet of enchiladas, chicken fajitas, chili verde, rice beans, and corn or flour tortillas. All dishes were tasty with the chili verde being most delicious, in my humble opinion. I found the service to be very welcoming and accommodating, the employees were extra attentive and polite. I liked how they checked on us and continue to refill our drinks, and bowls of chips and salsa. I plan to come here again and highly recommend them for occasions for groups of 30, 50 or 75 people. Please don't forget to tell 'em that Rosemary sent ya!! read more

I highly recommend this restaurant!! Their service is 100% outstanding!!! I hosted my daughter's graduation party here and it was nothing short of perfect! The staff is so great and attentive along with the boss Genaro! The food is wonderful and all of my guest said it was the best Mexican food ever. I had the buffet option that had the most variety and was the top of the 4 prices per person and it was the best decision! The steak fajitas and birria were so bomb not to mention the shrimp!!! Have a party here y'all!! read more

I just want to say, we were very amaze of how this place was. I called to make a reservation for 19 people, Genaro which is the person I spoke with, arranged everything for us. We were very delightful, happy and satisfied with everything. The food was delicious, the service was very attentive. We will definitely come again, I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much Genaro for all your assistance over the phone. Your crew really took care of us once we got there. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! We live in Riverside and don't mind the drive for the food and service. Sunday brunch is great although I wish the tortillas were not so hard to get (you have to go to a separate taco station to get them and by that time your food or the tortillas are cold before making it back to the table). The champagne was very tasty - not the cheap brands most restaurants use for bottomless brunches! Went this last Sunday to celebrate my sister with about 14 family members and we were very well taken care of even though the banquet room was pretty full with several other parties. Special shout out to our server Juan M for keeping up with everyone and making sure we were all taken care of. Keep up the good work Villa Catrina! I recommend this restaurant to many people every chance I get! :) read more
