The service, vibes and food is really good! I've been here a couple times with family and friends and it ever disappoints.

Place is not bad. First time we went was for my wife's birthday. We were excited for Birria tacos. The consome was not bad. My wife enjoyed it. Taco shells are crispy and cheese was just the right amount. Meat was good portion. The place is very small. Its my only complaint. The waitress is good but there's only one in the place so if it's busy it's hard for her to tend to every table but she tries her best. They should add ground beef as part of their meat options. I would recommend this place if you're in a mood for some good tacos.

Love the asada tacos and red salsa, so good! Highly recommend anyone looking for authentic Mexican tacos.

Possibly one of the best authentic Mexican restaurants around. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, and makes you feel like you are in Mexico, rather than in a restaurant in New Brunswick. The staff is always so nice, and the place is also a BYOB. My favorite part is probably their chips and salsa. Their chips are unique and addictive, and they give you a selection of salsas to choose from.

Such a great spot for quick authentic Mexican food. The restaurant has a cute mexican theme which ties the food and the vibe together. My favorite menu items are the pechuga tacos, pechuga quesadilla, chicken empanadas, baja tacos, and the rice and beans. The churros are amazing as well. Sadly, they're not always open. So you have to catch them when you can. I wish that would change though because this place is amazing.

The chipotle chicken chimichanga is our favorite!!! Huge portion. Churros have also been good. Same with the fried plantains. We usually get the enchilada and then the verde enchilada and chalupa is also incredible.

I have been meaning to try La Catrina for a while, especially since it's only a couple minutes walk for me. When my friend and I went for dinner at approximately 6:30 pm, there were a good amount of tables open and the restaurant was cutely decorated. We were given complimentary chips with a variety of salsas and sauces to dip them in. My friend got tacos and I got the al pastor chimichanga. I admit that I wish the chimichanga looked nicer, but it was very flavorful and it was stuffed with a good amount of food. I would be willing to go back to try more things on the menu!

This place is good. its amazing for cheap and filling food that doesn't taste bland. in the past I've ordered the burrito and it was alright, however the second time I went here I ordered some nachos with vegan chorizo, and it hit the spot. I also ordered the horchata from here, and that was also pretty good, towards the milkier side. the only issues with this place is the time it opens 4:00 is pretty late

Carne Asada Platillo The meal was overall delicious The chip was a bit hard, wish it was more crunchy and soft. The server provided different kinds of salsa and sauce for the chip. It was nice.

I've been looking for an authentic Mexican food place and this place definitely hit the spot! When you walk in, your eyes will immediately go to the bright colors on the wall between the textiles and the art pieces. The menu is small but there's definitely something for everyone. We got the vegetarian torts with the potatoes and veggies - the bread was fresh and served as the perfect platform for all the toppings. We were also here on taco Tuesday so the tacos were only $2 each!! Also loved the ensalada de nopales - one of the most unique and tasty ways of eating cactus! I do also love that they brought out chips and 4 hot sauces so anyone with any spice tolerances could enjoy the chips.
