We love this restaurant! We knew Santiago when he owned La Adelita's in Cedar Park. The quality has not changed. Street tacos are authentic Mexican quality. Mole is delicious. I'm so glad to have my regular taco place expanded into a full blown restaurant. We love Catrina's!

absolutely fantastic food. I don't usually leave reviews mostly because a lot of the restaurants are just merely okay. but once in awhile I discover a gem and Catrina's is definitely one. Looking forward to the next visit.

Yall had us at marg flight!! Yes please!! Visited this location after a short hike at Bull Creek.. a fun, festive place just to chill and enjoy food and drinks with friends.. I had the shrimp tacos and loved that they have grilled veggies option on the side.. my bf got the migas with bacon.. too bad tortillas aren't homemade but still worked for him nonetheless.. extra points for asking how he liked his bacon!! Crispy all the way!! No other restaurants really ask, so kudos! The marg flight consisted of mango, strawberry and drum roll please.. Pina colada!! Super yum!! Last but not the least, our server T was amazing!! Our first time here and she definitely made an impression!!

I just moved into the neighborhood and was excited to have a Mexican restaurant nearby. I’m even more excited that it has amazing tasting food and delicious drinks. Chimichanga cheesecake for dessert is a must. This will definitely be a regular spot for me and my family when they come to visit. My parents are hard to please with Mexican food (they’re very traditional Mexican lol) and they loved this place as well. The staff was also extremely attentive and nice!

We were a party of 4 and from Tampa, Florida, and wanted to eat Mexican food. This place was a great pick. Our waiter who was so kind to us, and the food was excellent. The food also was excellent!! We were served super fast with our drinks then our food. We were even there awhile after they closed and they did not rush us out!!! Nice atmosphere to. We definitely recommend this restaurant.

We decided to come here on a whim and I'm so glad we did. First of all the interior decorations are so eye catching and stunning. Our bartender Hernan was friendly as well as the rest of the staff super friendly. We went on a Saturday evening around 5, we didn't have have any expectations and were craving Mexican food. Wow! Do yourself and get anything birria it was amazing and the barbacoa tacos are amazing. The price was about 75 food and drinks and we still ended up taking some of it home. I'll be coming back.

Their Juevos Divorciados are the best we have ever eaten. Juevos Divorciados has one egg with green salsa and one egg with red salsa. The refried beans and corn tortillas were great. My wife and I were looking for a hearty breakfast place in the Steiner Ranch and River Place area at 10 am on Saturday that wasn't really busy at that time in the morning. We have been checking out the area and wanted to try Catrina's. Their large, beautiful dining room, the colorful bar and the cool artwork on the walls made us curious about their food. We were the first customers this morning. We were greeted by a super friendly guy named Alvaro. The menu had lots of options, I mean lots of options. So we asked for his recommendation for a breakfast dish. His recommendation was the Juevos Divorciados. My wife and I consider ourselves to be experts of Mexican food. We both decided on the Juevos Divorciados and we savoured every bite.

Visited on a Wednesday evening. Upbeat, trendy atmosphere. Great service. Bummed I didn't get a picture of our food, but the beef and chicken enchiladas and steak fajitas were very good. Their mojito and standard margarita were yummy! There was a guy playing guitar and singing solo that we enjoyed. Women's restroom was very clean and nicely renovated. We miss Bashaws, but we were happy they've renovated this space so nicely! Thanks Catrina's!
