Quesabirria
Fresh chips are a must!
Chicken nachos , I reordered and got the la cantrina nachos and that's with all the fixings
Birria egg rolls, Catrina burrito, chimichanga.
This is maybe the best logo I've seen ever! #1 in Kannapolis that's for sure.

I really wanted to like this place. Very well drawn murals on the walls, decent service, cheap tacos on Tuesdays, Good Mexican beers on draft and a not the run of the mill menu. Unfortunately, the food was bad. The chips and salsa were bland. The taco meat was dry and bland. The refried beans and rice were bland. The cheese enchiladas and tostadas were bland. Are you seeing a theme here? Maybe they think Gringos prefer bland food? I'm not sure but Mexican food can be a lot of things but it should never be bland. Oh well, at least I got to try practicing my Spanish!

We walked in on a Sunday night around 6:00. We were the only ones in this hidden gem. Living so close I'm so mad we haven't found this place before today. Quesabirria spring rolls - Holy smokes. Why is nobody else doing these?!? 10/10Catrina Burrito - shrimp, steak, and chicken smothered in a mole/cheese sauce combo. The size of my fore arm. 10/10. Chicken chimichanga - loaded with chicken fried perfectly with a crispy crust. Smothered in cheese sauce. 10/10They make everything fresh here so we missed out on the Quesabirria special but the owner heard us asking about it and brought out an order of the Quesabirria spring rolls and smoked BBQ egg rolls to try. Server was very warm and knowledgeable. I just hate that we were the only once's lucky enough to be enjoying this place tonight. This should be a destination spot for all of Charlotte-Salisbury. PS - inside decor was great and pays tribute to Kannapolis history. These guys rock and know exactly what they are doing.

Food has changed. It's no where near the quality it was even just months ago. So disappointing. There are better Mexican restaurants in Kannapolis.

Why is this place NOT PACKED ON TUESDAY? They have TACO TUESDAYS where authentic tacos can be enjoyed for $1.50. That is not a typo. That's legit! Annnnnnd, they make them the right way...Real chopped beef (not ground). They also have a pork taco that is world shattering! I enjoyed every bite.The tacos are amazing here! The queso is seasoned! And well made! And the chips are freshly fresh (unlike Chipotle... don't act like you've never had those stale Chipotle chips). Customer service was dope here as well. And I love great customer service.If you are thinking about it... Tuesday, you don't have anything to lose except $1.50. Try them out. You'll be back.

This is about the third time we have either gotten take out or have ate here. I was a little bit confused about what to say about this restaurant but i saw someone wrote that this place is Mexican fusion and that fits it perfectly. The things we like about it are that the people are very friendly and that the food is really good especially the rice and beans which i am really picky about. But the best part is that even though the menu is not huge is that they are willing to make you whatever you want whether or not its on the menu. This time i got shrimp fajitas and i didnt get tortillas with it. I didnt know they didn't just come with it. It was take out so i just used ones i had at home. Next time i need to remember to ask for them. The veggies tasted fresh and crunchy not overly cooked.

Definitely will eat here again!! Margarita was decent and wasn't syrupy. Tacos were excellent. House green salsa was good. The salsa with chips had no spice to it but was flavorful. So for those that like a very mild salsa, this would be good for u. Guac was a 7.5 out of 10 but this rating is because I prefer chunky guac. It was still delicious. The flavor was there 100%.

Beware! I visited La Catrina 2 weeks ago in person. I have not been there since, but today I received a hold on my Credit Card from them. I called to talk to the owner with no return calls. I called back and the owner still wasn't in or chose not to take my call. I had to cancel my debit card because of the issue. I don't know what is going on there, but it isn't right. Please check your credit card online activity when ordering from La Catrina. I most likely had my card swiped by one of the servers, now I have a new charge. I will be filing a criminal report with the Kannapolis Police Department, and filing a personal lawsuit to the restaurant.

This Mexican restaurant has, hands down the best Mexican food anywhere around. The manager here is also an extremely nice guy and makes you feel super welcomed!! The ONLY issue we've had here and it's a big one in my opinion, is the TERRIBLE service!! The waitress here, (which I've only seen one) literally picks and chooses what tables she acknowledges and what tables she ignores. I only took off one star because I know it's hard for restaurants to find good help nowadays. If they had decent service this restaurant would do GREAT!! They also have VERY good prices, which is a big plus! The last thing is that it's in a REALLY bad location. It's hard for people to see from the road so most people don't even know it's there.
