We just recently tried Catrinas for the first time and I think I might have to say that this might be my favorite place to go for Mexican food! The food tastes close to Tequila's but it definitely tastes more authentic here! I had the Arroz con pollo and it was just absolutely wonderful. I love how you place your order and then you sit down and they bring the food to you and it was rather quickly I might add. And the fact that it felt like a complete restaurant meal with the fast-food feel was pretty cool. The meal does not come with chips and salsa but it they don't cost a lot so you should go ahead and get em! Afterwards I was talking about the restaurant to someone else and they were raving about the guacamole so maybe you should try that too! They do have limited hours so make sure you pay attention to that window when you're planning on visiting this restaurant! They were definitely starting to get busy (as we arrived before the lunch time) lots of groups of people started walking in, mainly people who work downtown. The restaurant did not get food while we were there but if it does they're just happen to be more seating if you go down the hallway which I included in my pictures. I was actually off of work the day that I went here so since their hours are limited I'm hoping able to visit this place again soon because it was really great!

Amazing food and service. We were on a road trip and stopped the way to and from our destination. 100% would recommend.

AMAZING FOOD!! Fabulous atmosphere!! GREAT customer service!! Can hardly wait to return!

The chicken burrito was soooooo good! Best I have ever had. It reminded me of my trip to Mexico. I can't wait to try other things from the menu! Salsa was great too. I am eating the remainder right now with a spoon.

Thank you so much for sponsoring Robot casserole and providing lunch. The chicken burrito was delicious.

Omgersh....that was the best chicken burrito I have ever had! Just be careful of the juice dripping down! You'll want to eat that too. Eat it over the delicious chips and salsa! The salsa has a kick, but it's a kick that adds to the flavor! Definitely recommend. Worth the trip downtown.

Some of the best tacos I have ever had! Highly recommend this place! Staff is so friendly and food is amazing! Highly recommend the Al Pastor tacos, so flavorful!

This place is absolutely amazing! So delicious! Super friendly staff and tacos are so flavorful! Highly recommend! Thanks for a wonderful dinner!

Get the guac and chips. Amazing. Actually, everything my family has tried here is amazing.The only sad part is they cater to the downtown work force so their hours are pretty limited, more breakfast and lunch. During the summer last year they did have Saturday hours so hopefully when the farmer's market returns in the spring they will be open Saturdays again.

Talk about great food! It's my favorite place to stop for a steak and egg burrito. Which I just delcared my 'go to' breakfast now. I used to get the spinach and egg, but it'll take a break for a while. Good people and excellent service!
