Such a cute spot with good food! We went for an early dinner and was greeted/welcomed by very friendly staff. It's a smaller spot with quite a few tables indoor and I think there's seating at the bar. We received complementary Tortilla chips and salsa. I ordered some chips & guacamole for an app and the guac really hit the spot- it was seasoned perfectly! Definitely recommend ordering the guac. We ordered the cantarito (Tequila based cocktail) and a mango margarita. The marg u couldn't really taste any alcohol but it was very tasty and refreshing! You could really taste the tequila in the other cocktail! For dinner we had the birria tacos and I ordered 3 tacos (lengua/tongue, fish & tripa/tripe). The food was fresh and tasty- for the fish and tripa taco I had to add lemon and the salsa but that lengua was perfect! It didn't need anything Definitely my fav! The birria tacos had a bit of a bite- u get this chilli powder on the side to add to the soup. The taco itself was stuffed with lamb meat and cheese. So yummy and filling! We couldn't finish our meals and took the rest home.Definitely had a great time here. The staff is very attentive, super friendly and lively! We'll be back to try the other food*there's street parking, we were lucky and found parking easily but I can see it getting harder as it gets late**our bill came to about $95 including tip

La Catrina is a wonderful spot with great atmosphere and even better food. A long galley style place. Fast and very friendly service. La Catrina has the best Mole in Chicago hands down no contest #1. There can be a wait depending on the day or on others you can walk right in. Again Chicago's best Mole!!!

Staff/ ambiance:Location was perfect. Super clean and friendly staff upon entry, was warmly greeted and seated right away. Thankfully we got there before there was a huge wait. Let me tell you, the wait is SO worth it. Comida: The drinks we ordered were absolutely delicious and beautiful!!! The appetizer, queso fundido con chorizo was SO flavorful, with a little spice and lots of Oort gooey cheesiness in a warm tortilla. Ugh it was perfection. If I could have this everyday I would!! Amazing!My friend and I orders two tacos each and they were very filling and the portions were huge. Like we could not finish. But they were so freaking good!!!! I just cannot get over that I waited this long to try this place. I highly recommend for good food, comfy ambiance and delicious drinks!!!! Pricing: Superrrrr affordable!! Like does not brand the bank at all.the portions are huge too, so like expect leftover. So worth it!!! Cannot waitttttt to go back!!!

Came here with my friend for their Happy Hour which was pretty nice. Walking in you are greeted by the hostess and seated right away ( we had reservations). It is really small in there but it's a cite corner mexican spot. The lime margs were $5 for HH which is an amazing price! They were tasty and I definitely would've drunk more if my friend was in that mood haha. The guy there actually gave us TWO complimentary shots! He asked is if it was our first time there which it was. That was soo nice of him and much appreciated! I ordered the birria tacos which were really good. If this place wasn't a little too out the way I'd definitely come back again!

This place easily has some of the best tacos. The lengua is super soft and delicious. The al pastor is by far the best I've ever had in my life - the flavor was amazing, and the pork was coated. The carne asada was super tender and melted in my mouth. And the cecina was incredible! They have tons of larger cocktails here with slightly hefty price tags, but they're very boozy which is a fair trade. My only complaint is the refried beans - they were a little thin, but they tasted good otherwise. I will definitely be back.

If you ever wanted to have solid Mexican food and enjoy happy hour Tuesday to Thursday, this is the spot for you. The taco birria was so appetizing and this was the first time I had garbanzos in the mix. There was an abundance of meat in it too and overall the portions for this restaurant were very impressive for what you are paying and they don't short you on the quality either. Definitely try the mole burrito if you decide to stop by. Enjoyed a bunch of leftovers the next day.

Wow we usually go to Pilsen for tacos but we were in this area and stopped by at this hole in the wall joint and we're SO blown away by the tacos!There was no one eating inside when we got there so we were a little worried, but they came out with great complimentary chips and salsa (a relic of the past). Service was good and prices were reasonable, most importantly the food was a lot and bomb. We'll be back!
