This is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever been to!! When you enter you are immediately transported to the best of Mexican culture in an extremely artful and meaningful way. The ambiance is off the chart and keeps you captivated the entire time you're there. It was lunch time and my wife and I had to take our eyes off our surroundings and put them onto the menu. We found everything our stomachs could imagine in Mexican cuisine and then some. Tortilla chips, salsa AND fresh guacamole came instantly to the table. I had the mango margarita and she had the raspberry margarita, yummy. We also were delighted by glassware, OMG, so artful. Anyway, we had the macho burrito and the shredded chicken tacos which were fresh, hot, and plentiful. On top of all that the service was very quick, friendly and accurate. We will come back and very soon! You should too!! read more

I wish there was a rating lower than zero! From the guacamole to the beans and rice. All I could taste was rosemary seasoning There was nothing authentic about there food. The enchilada sauce tasted like tomato sauce and water, which separated after a minute being on my plate. The Chile Verde was a large piece of pork but know hint of Chile Verde sauce. Looks like they spend too much money on their aesthetics instead of a good chef. I would never recommend this place to anyone! ​ read more

Loved the decor, service, and food! The margaritas were excellent and it had a great vibe. We will definitely be back! read more

These flautas are fantastic. Absolute, straight fire. The beans and rice on the side were also to die for. The beans were perfect and the rice had such a great fluffiness, but they weren't too dry. I love the food at this place and it's so amazing. read more

The only thing good is the decorations. The food was horrible and quite expensive for the amount you get. The drink was $13 that was filled to the rim with ice, and only three sips of the drink. The tostada at $21.50 was made wrong the first time around because we asked for no beans so they scraped off the beans but left a few on the plate and there was no cheese on the dish. Plus look at the size of the tostada. The nachos were impossible to eat, and really looked and tasted terrible. read more

The fajitas were good. The service was great. The margaritas are not weak and our server gave us a margarita they made by mistake for free. They also had homemade flour tortillas which is a plus! read more

First off the restaurant, The ambience is the only thing they have going for them ...the food , well I don't have much to say.... The way they do business is unacceptable, I was asked to pay a deposit of $200 in October for a engagement party that was to happen 2 months later in December then cancelled a few days later,per managment (Martha)I was to get my deposit back with out a problem.. NOT the case ...Ugh!I have repeatedly gone to the restaurant, called, texted, emailed and posted with no response ... please please buyer beware.... Just don't .. use a more reputable place to have your event ! read more

We met up with friends we don't see often at Catrina's, great food, great drinks, Awesome!

Love this place. Excellent food. Jorge is an excellent bartender! Fun and makes good drinks!

Our absolute FAVORITE hidden gem, we feel transported straight to Mexico every time we come to Catrina's. My favorite margarita ever, a pitcher of Catrina-Rita's (strong, not too sweet or too acidic). The best starters are the Mole Nachos with skirt steak or Green Chili Fundue with the BEST homemade flour tortillas I've ever had. The Chipotle Shrimp is to die for, and be sure to order some extra flour tortillas to go with! Rice and beans are seasoned to perfection. Chile Relleno is amazing as well. Tortilla soup is perfect in the colder months. The atmosphere is amazing, so much beautiful art. The bar is wonderful for a great drink and quick bite. read more

Went to place for a first time not long ago and the food was fantastic! The service was great. Not only was the chicken fajita that was share with my boyfriend was good, they gave us a lot of corn tortillas so we could share the meal. I'm not really a bean fan, but their black beans that came in a corn tortilla cup was amazing. Go. You won't regret it. read more

Food was great loved the drinks ,Martha was fantastic. I have been there many times lunch dinner great food great service

Last night was our first time there. The food was fantastic and they even made me a vegetarian quesadilla that wasn't even on the menu and it was loaded with veggies. I'll go back just for that! The ambience was incredible and very colorful. The best part was our server Brandon. He was so pleasant, helpful, attentive and obviously loves what he does. I can't recommend this place enough! We will be back read more

Service was good the waitress was very nice however we were the ONLY ONES in the restaurant and our food came out cold and lacked so much flavor. I expected since this place was very nice the quality would be great! And being the only people there food would be even better. I won't be returning and the only recommendation I'd give people is to not go it's not worth it. read more

They put NO tequila in the margaritas. It took 60 minutes to get our food. The service was terrible.

Stopped by for lunch, never been here. Food was good and our service was excellent.now I need to get to at least 85 characters

about three months ago we ate there and it was very good. went back today and it was very bad. From the salsa to the chips to the entrees to the service. Just bad. Not sure what happened. What be be back. read more

Good selection and food was excellent! A little pricey but worth a special occasion. Interesting decor.

I ate there last night with my daughter and three grandchildren. The first time I had been there. The food was very good. The service was very good. The only recommendation I would make as we had the shrimp fajitas and I think they could add a couple more shrimp to the order compared to other restaurants where I ordered them they were six shrimp for $20 the margarita was excellent as well. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon. read more

Excellent ambience and food , Brandon our server was amazing , great margueritas and the menu is extensive with many varied choices , something for everyone . Highly recommend their tamales ! read more

We were served by the bartender and the service was not great at all. We did not get water chips and salsa for almost 15 minutes after we were sat, she had very little knowledge of the menu nor did she even seem to care. We were charged wrong, My meal, which was an appetizer, was just a bowl of sauce with some meat in it and cheese on top and it was super salty. Honestly, the only thing that was actually worth it were the homemade flour tortillas. The restaurant itself was also super cute. But overall, not the best experience. read more

Went here today. The frozen margaritas were incredible. Not many places have great blended ones. Exceptional. The chips n salsa were great too. We had the fajitas, steak, and lunch qUesedillas. Everything was tasty. Over priced for the amount of steak served. But tasty. We usually go to El Tapatio in Auburn or Citrus Heights and he twice as much food for same price. Beautiful restaurant and good food. Steak portion was super small. read more

Place is decorated really cool inside. Service was good and friendly. The bean dip is amazing. The macho burrito and the mole sauce are very good. read more

We so wanted to love this place now under new ownership! We live just around the corner. Nice traditional ambiance; obvious that someone put their heart into the decor but that was and has been the same for years. The guacamole was very bland: no garlic, lime juice or salt (I dislike salty things but this was not good). I doctored it up a little but it still tasted like overly ripe avocados and nothing else. The chicken tortilla soup was not too salty but no Mexican flavor; it needed cilantro, limes, jalapenos. Yes I'm not Mexican but I love authentic Mexican and this entire meal including a chicken taco was extremely bland despite adding salsa. My spouse was in complete agreement. The margaritas were ok. Service was Good! read more

Love, love Catrina's Cantina the food, the cocktails and the atmosphere is great!! One of the few great authentic Mexican restaurants in Rocklin!! Looking forward to a summer of indoor and outdoor dining!!! read more

I have been to Catrina's Cantina several times and have always had a great meal with great service. This has always been a "neighborhood restaurant" to me since it is right around the corner from my house. I come here with all my family and friends for the great food, service, and fun vibrant atmosphere. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner for the first time today. What a great place. Lots of cultural art pieces and decor. I had the chicken fajitas and my wife had the carnitas soft tacos. Fajitas came with homemade tortillas which were perfect. If you go, order the Texas bean dip. Catrina was a gracious host. Next time, we'll order some margaritas. read more

Our first time at Catrinas since it changed ownership. The margaritas were fantastic and the food was even better! We had excellent service, Jay was fun and attentive! The ambiance is amazing and a must see! Overall great experience and we will definitely be back! read more
