La Catrina Tequila & Tacos

Wow... just wow. This place is gorgeous on the inside. They have 2 large wall screens with awesome music videos, beautiful flowers all over, sugar skulls, Frida Kahlo painted on the walls. Just beautiful!!! The vibe was perfect. Our server Juan Manuel was so nice, friendly and on top of everything. The food came out hot and fresh & wasn't too long of a wait. The salsa was PERFECT! Not too spicy but had a mild kick. Cilantro ratio was on point. Prices are very reasonable. My husband said the Horchata was delicious! My marg was yummy. We'll definitely be back!!!!

We were so excited to try out this neighborhood Mexican restaurant - especially after seeing it highlighted in Denver Food Scene instagram. Positives - environment and staff. Both were wonderful. Server was very nice and the place is very festive. Neutral - the food was just ok. We ordered two platters. The tamales were lackluster and the refried beans lacked flavor. The Birrias tacos were a bit soggy and just ok. Negative - I ordered a patron margarita. It was just ok - seemed a bit watered down with their mix. Then we get the bill. They charged us 9.99 for the house margarita and then 12.00 for a patron shot. Really. We inquired as we thought it was an error but was not. If you order any drink special - confirm the price. They did not an any type of extensive drink menu but was not expecting to pay 20 bucks for a watered down margarita.

was disappointing We ordered the sampler of guac, cheese and refried bean dip . It tasted like everything was canned . It didn't look fresh . We also got a Molcajete and we weren't impressed , it looked like it had been sitting out for a while and there was this intense garlic flavor , it just wasn't what I was expecting .. there was more vegetables than actual meat and the cheese looked like cut up mozzarella .. I was honestly disappointed The drinks were good but not worth the hype .

Catrina inside was sooo cute They have a ton of opportunities for pictures However the food was mediocre.We ordered the chicken soup , chilaquiles verde (green) served with rice, beans and chilaquiles rojos (red) served also with rice and beans. The chicken soup was bland, greasy, and smelled weird. The tortillas were made by hand and very delicious. The beans on both dishes smelled like canned beans and tasted so. The Spanish rice was bland and very disappointing. The server was attentive.

Can't report on the food (other than chips and salsa, guac, and queso). All were fine but nothing you can't get anywhere else. Margaritas were also fine but I had 2 and didn't feel a thing so that was a bit of a bummer as well. Atmosphere was fun and the staff were friendly.

I was in town for work and was craving some Mexican food. As a native Arizonan, I'm a bit spoiled with a lot of delicious, authentic Mexican food places nearby, but when I saw the reviews on La Catrina I knew I had to try it! Immediately upon entering, the aesthetic is gorgeous!! The place is beautiful, catrinas everywhere, flowers, bright paintings, good music, the whole 9 yards!We got sat and ordered the trio sampler, the queso was pretty good and the frijoles with cheese had no complaints, but the guacamole was some of the best I've had in a long time! For entrees, I had the Catrina tacos: steak, cheese, avocado, and shrimp with a fantastic salsa verde. The meat was tender, the sauce had a kick, the avocado perfectly buttery and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. My hubby got the molcajete and it did not disappoint! The sauce was phenomenal, the shrimp, the chorizo, the chiles, all of it was amazing! I wish we would have had room to try the platanitos because fried plantains are one of my favorites and who doesn't love a cheesecake dipping sauce, but sadly our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we were stuffed! Our server was really nice, the food came out quickly, and even though we went in only an hour before they closed, we never felt rushed. If I'm ever back in CO, I'll definitely be coming back to La Catrina's!

I stopped by for a quick cocktail at La Catrina. The place is really cute with bunch of La Catrina and Mexican decor all over which made our visit enjoyable. What a marvelous theme inside this restaurant!!! Our server was very friendly and explained to us all the refreshing and tasty drinks they have. She also recommended some dishes they have. I really enjoyed my margaritas while enjoying the view of this place. I'll definitely come back to try their tacos and sopa de mariscos.

Walking in the aesthetic of the restaurant was awesome and inviting. We were a party of 10 and the service was subpar for us being the only people in the restaurant. Although waiters were nice everything was slow - not completely their fault as only 2 servers were available for the entire restaurant. The drink menu didn't have any margaritas and so I went off the cuff and ordered a skinny margarita, they didn't know what that was. When it came out it tasted like a lemon drop with tequila. Not bad but not what I wanted. The Michelada Especial was liked by those who ordered it. Queso seemed like it was from a can. The main dishes were all good and liked amongst all. We were there celebrating a birthday and the staff did an amazing job making that fun by blasting music on the big screen and bringing a complimentary cake boat.I don't think I'd go back but I wouldn't discourage someone from going and having their own experience.

Upon arriving we were welcomed and seated in a timely manner. There was maybe two other parties there on this Saturday afternoon around 1:30pm. The place was decorated pretty kool. The waiter was overly eager to take our order. The chips were fresh and warm but the salsa was mot to my liking. It tasted too much like tomato paste. The menu has a good selection. When the food arrived i was taken aback by the unnatural red color of the enchilada that i ordered. Not much flavor too it. The taco that i ordered had some of the best seasoned ground beef i have had at a mexican restaurant. The rice didnt taste bad but didnt really taste like rice. My friend ordered taquitos and she said they were all right. After asking for the check, our drinks were not refilled and we were kind of given the impression we had overstayed our welcome even though there were ample amount of tables available. No worries, because we wont be returning.

Food was amazing! The service was great he was so kind and pay attention to detail, check up on us frequently, excellent music and had great conversations
