    We had fabulous service right from the start. The hostess suggested a different table from the one that was originally reserved - she thought a larger table would be more comfortable for our party of six. And our server, Jazmine, was great. She understood that we wanted to take our time and enjoy being together on the holiday. She paced our drinks, appetizers and entrees so that we take our time. Our food was delicious too.

    Service was absolutely wonderful! All of the staff were extremely friendly and attentive! The happy hour margaritas specials were a favorite! Their specialty tacos and homemade salsas are all fantastic, although I highly recommend the Carnitas! The Los Muertos art & decor adds an additional feel. You can't go wrong!

    The hostess was very rude. She insisted that there were no outdoor tables available. So we walked away, I went on Open Table and reserved an outdoor table. We went back to the hostess and told her we had a reservation. She seemed very annoyed! I reserved a table at the lower terrace ( closer to the riverwalk) and she seated us on the upper terrace. My husband did not want to make a fuss, so we did not say anything. But we could see 3 tables available on the lower terrace, only 2 of which had “reserved” signs on them! Our waitress was great, service was fast, and the tacos and frozen margaritas were good! It was just hard to get a table on a Sunday evening by just walking in!
    Casa CatrinaResponded on 15 December 2024
    We’re truly sorry to hear about the experience you had with the hostess during your visit. This is not the level of hospitality we aim to provide at Casa Catrina, and we apologize for any frustration caused. Your feedback about the seating situation is important, and we will address this with our team to ensure a more welcoming and accommodating experience for all guests. We’re glad to hear that your server provided great service and that you enjoyed the tacos and frozen margaritas! 🍹🌮 Sunday evenings can be busy, but we appreciate your patience and understanding. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide you with the exceptional experience we’re known for. Thank you for letting us know where we can improve.

    mediocre food. Street corn was either from frozen or old kernels as they stuck to my teeth, the guacamole portion was tiny, the shrimp tacos were just ok. Price is ok

    Our tacos were dry but Delilah our server made up for it! Her genuine personality was absolutely beautiful. Oh!! And Eva the person who decorates did a fantastic job for the restaurant. Food isn’t great but it’s about the ambience and atmosphere.
