    Was not busy so we would have expected for our food to come quicker, that did not happen. It took a long time to get our food. Ordered a margarita and came in a small ceramic cup which was so thick that there ended up not being as much drink in the cup. Dissapointing. The food was just ok, had been there for a networking event and it was amazing, not sure what happened..a different cook or what. Anyway, might return for drinks but not for food.
    Catrinas Tacos and Tequila BarResponded on February 1, 2019
    Thank you for sharing your experience. We apologize we didn't meet your expectations. Even though sometimes we seem not too busy we might have lots of to go or take out orders and bc our food is made at order and we might encounter extra wait but we are working on it. Our house margarita is served in a 32 onz clay jar so we apologize you felt wasn't plenty. We are glad you are giving us another try and please do not hesitate to try our food again as we promise you would not be disappointed.

    We were a group of 6 having a pre show diner so had early reservations. We were all first timers. Margaritas were great and made fresh, no mix! We all ordered different entrees and everyone was very pleased with food taste, quality and presentation. We’re all looking forward to another visit. I’m so glad to finally have a nice Mexican restaurant in the area.

    Service was very slow. Out of many menu items and for carne Asada, we were told after ordering and waiting 30 minutes that it was not available. Menu items on website were not on hard copy menu.
    Catrinas Tacos and Tequila BarResponded on January 11, 2019
    Thank you for visiting Catrinas.We apologize we did not meet your expectations.Since our food is fresh sometimes we might run out of some items and we won't know immediately because of high demand. We are so sorry we did not inform you sooner. When our restaurant was launched thru Open Table somehow our old menu from our St Armands location was downloaded and requests for changes has been made. We will like for you to give us another try with a complementary discount on your next visit.

    Largest selection of tequilas and mescals in the area. Once or twice a month has a small authentic flamenco group. Follow them on Facebook for dates. Very good Mexican dishes and margaritas.

    Wow Thomas thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are so glad you enjoyed your visit and will like to win that missing star on your next visit. Until next flamenco.

    Really enjoyed Catrina’s. As a vegetarian, I wouldn’t say they had “a lot” of non-meat options, but the portobello option is remarkably tasty. If you eat fish or meat, of course, you won’t be disappointed. We went for taco Tuesday, which was slightly misleading. The $3 taco deal only applies to a couple tacos; not the ones you will actually want to order. That said, it’s not really a deal, so no obligation to try to make it on Tuesday. The ambiance was a little off putting, as it’s clearly a club at night. Even though at 6pm, we were the only customers in the dining room, which doubles as a dance floor, there were odd lighting effects and very loud music you’d expect after 10pm on a weekend. Not the most inviting for a casual dinner, but that’s an easy fix. Great happy hour drink menu, and awesome, friendly, attentive service. I recommend this restaurant for tasty, more authentic Latin food, especially in SRQ.
    Catrinas Tacos and Tequila BarResponded on December 21, 2018
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us as we are glad your enjoyed your visit. The authentic Mexican cuisine is prepared with natural and fresh ingredients and we can make any dish vegetarian please feel free to ask for more options next time. Indeed on the tacos we only offer a portobello option at the moment but will be adding more options on our new upcoming menu. We are so sorry about the lights and music. We are so glad to have you back again. Until next tequila!
