I have been looking for a Mexican restaurant closer to my house for a while. I accidentally came across this one when getting Papa John’s pizza.

First, when we entered the restaurant it was not busy and a staff member politely said sit anywhere you want. He then grabbed some menus and took our drink order. So far, looking good!

I know it’s not a big deal around here but we lived somewhere else for a while and fell in love with white queso dip, this is the first place in Austin that we found it at. I eat at 5-6 times a week so that’s a big statement. It needed some milk to thin it up a little as within 5 minutes it was so thick it was no longer that great. But with a little milk it would have been amazing.

Also, it’s hard to find chimichangas around here which I find weird. This place has them and they are big, filled with chicken. That said, they added some kind of cheese inside that was so thick you couldn’t get it chewed up to swallow. Kinda ruined it imho. A lot of places around here make enchiladas with that same type of cheese, I’m not a fan of gaging on unchewable cheese so es lo que es. Without that cheese in it and with the white queso on top this would be a killer changa.

Chips were just ok. I prefer warm chips that are super fresh. The place we have been eating for years now has super warm fresh chips, I love that. Salsa was actually really good. I liked it better than my usual place.

My son had their burger. He is pretty picky so when he said he didn’t like it we were suspect, but my wife likes everything and she also thought it tasted weird. The bacon tasted fine, the meat was fine, but the bun had some strange taste. Not sure what is was but nobody wanted it and it got tossed barley half eaten.

Gordita was good, nothing special. Maybe a different meat? Try chicken if we come back.

Beans and rice were not fresh at all and not that tasty. Hoping for better next attempt.

Price was average for local restaurants.

In closing, I bet they will modify the chimichanga for me and my wife liked it and wants to try more things. So, we will come back and give it another go. Update when we do. It’s definitely worth a go as everyone different taste.

Very good Mexican food with very reasonable lunch specials, dinner combo platters, and multiple draft beers on tap. We go regularly as it's close to my home, the food is great, and the service is always excellent. Love the nachos topped with fajita meat, the Jester enchiladas, the fajita tacos and platters, and even the migas and omelettes for a late breakfast.

We’ve had visited this place few times now. Especially today, friends & family came in for lunch. We are sitting down on table awaits for a MENU at least 10 mns there was no menu provided. I simply asked the bartender/ waiter may I get a menu please. Service was not what I’d expected any more. Disappointed overall.

I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! We used to go to Flores every Friday night and haven’t been in a while because the quality had gone down, but were looking for a good place to go instead….enter Catrina’s!!! We were impressed by service, taste, quality, atmosphere…everything. If you are on the fence about trying a new place, or just looking for a good one, stop now and go to Catrina’s!! We will be back!
