Loved the empanadas & churros A+++! Crispy, warm, and fresh. This bi-level shop might be difficult to visit for some as it has steep stairs and minimal seating. However, if you're looking for a quick bite of authentic Mexican street food, La Catrina is highly recommended!Vegetarian options: Totally vegetarian friendlyParking: Street parking can be tricky in Byward Market depending on the day. Better to park in a lot and walk the market on foot.Wheelchair accessibility: Not too sure how a wheelchair user would manage this bi-level shop.

My friends and I came here on a whim and were very pleasantly surprised! The churros were perfectly crisp, and tasty! They're sold in minimum as pairs for about $7 plain or $8 with filling/dip, which was reasonable for the size. A great late night dessert option if you're in the area!

Oh my goodness! I walked in here on a whim one night, place was packed, the girl at the counter was running around like crazy but she still gave amazing service and was very kind to all she interacted with. I got a piece of cake to go and it was amazing. My boyfriend who doesn’t even like sweets ate half. We had to go back the next night for another slice. So delicious. I will have to return for their food, I’ve only tried the desserts.

Impeccable service like the place. The prices are affordable like Mexican food. Although, I didn't like that for $20 I had 3 empanada rolls. I didn't even fill my belly and I had to buy a shawarma combo for $15.

$7 for 2 basic churros, no flavor, nothing, plain version????Nothing wow, tasteless, unattractive texture, but above all really too expensive, it's exaggerated!A total fail, once but not twice that's for sure.

Diana was very kind to allow us to have a gathering with our members to celebrate the capital of Ecuador (Quito) at La Catrina.All our members had a great time, we were able to set up decorations and receive our members at the upstairs of their establishment, their food was delicious and the customer service was outstanding.It is a very nice place to have gatherings in small groups and enjoy their delicious food.We hope to be able to have more gatherings with our members at La Catrina.Thank you Diana and staff for all the help that day.

Got the nutella churros for $9 - a little expensive in my opinion but they were very great. Service is friendly and they have a healthy roster of drink options.Only sore spots is that the couch seat upstairs desperately needs to be replaced (paint splatters and other marks).
