The food is amazing and service is great, the drinks are also really good. It may not be as aesthetic as the new places popping up but the food exceeds all the other places. The short rib enchiladas are my personal favorite.

This place is by far the absolute best Mexican food in the Willamette valley. Very fresh and authentic. I have not had Mexican food this good since I visited old town San Diego a few years ago.

Second visit this summer...both visits were excellent. I stick to one dish (chicken fajita salad). Not only is it delicious, but the presentation is worth a photo to send to your friends. We go at off peak times... our waitress was friendly, prompt and professional. I've looked at other 5 Star reviews of this place and will not waste your time going off about the warm tostadas and yummy dips to start the meal. Probably my favorite restraunt in Salem 👍😀

La Vida Catrina is my husband and my all-time favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is good, the prices are reasonable, & the drinks are fantastic (especially the La Llorona, a hibiscus margarita made with Mescal). We also really like their complementary black bean dip that they serve with their chips! To top it off, their waitstaff is amazing. One of their waitresses is one of our top favorite waitresses of all the restaurants we have ever frequented. We highly recommend La Vida Catrina!!!

This place was incredible. Food was amazing, service was excellent and sitting on the patio with a breeze was wonderful. Highly recommend! The margarita flight was well worth it too.
We have been here a few times now, and the food never disappoints! We have always experienced friendly service too. Favorite dishes have been the short rib enchiladas and the pork tamales!

We absolutely love this place. If you're looking for a more upscale Mexican food, this the place for you. It's all cooked to order, so you don't get it fast like other Mexican restaurants. But it's totally worth the wait. The food is always phenomenal. This last time we ordered the Ribeye Steak Salad, the Ribeye Fajitas, the Guacamole, and the Elote. The steak is SO GOOD! I couldn't stop eating the salad, even after I was stuffed, because it was that good. Best salad I've ever had any restaurant. Hubby said the fajitas were amazing and talked about how good the steak was the whole time. Cooked perfectly! The Elote does take some time to get to you since it's cooked to order. It usually doesn't get served until after everything else. But it's always worth waiting for!
(I forgot to take a picture until we ate well over half the guacamole, you get way more than what you see in the picture! And the papaya with tajin that is served with it is to die for! Also not pictured because I ate it all.)
