    Chicken enchiladas verdes with rice and beans
    Tracy W.

    Drove by this place and was really enchanted by all the colorful lights outside so thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did. Parking was easy and convenient in the lot right in front. The decor is fresh and charming without being too "busy," the service was great, and the menu was huge. I tried the chicken enchiladas verdes and was quite happy with them. Next time I'll be back to try the "build your own rice bowl."

    I'm going to be generous and go with 2 stars on this rating, but really could've been just one, or none. I'm going to give the team the benefit of the doubt, and assume they were worn out from Cinco de Mayo, the day prior. We were seated very quickly on Taco Tuesday, and also trivia night. There were many tables occupied, but nothing crazy on a Tuesday. It took no time for the chips & salsa to be brought to our table which was very good, but after more than 20 minutes, we still hadn't seen our waiter, and didn't even have water. This location is right behind a McDonald's, and my wife suggested we bail and go there. I actually should've listened to her, but the Yelp reviews averaged 4.6 stars, so it had to be good, right? Wrong. Another 10 minutes went by and our waiter took our order, to include the obligatory cheese dip with jalapeños. That came out in a timely manner, and was good. I ordered a simple A&W root beer, which I was pleasantly surprised they offered. However, what I received was nothing like a root beer of any sorts. It was AWFUL! Another 10-15 minutes more, when the chips & salsa were both gone, and the waiter came back to reconfirm our order. Guess he should've placed it the first time? Several more minutes went by and our food finally appeared. I ordered three tacos, and my wife had a beef chimichanga. She describes hers as an oily, runny, salty, beef mess. My tacos were decent, but also high on the salt content. There was no sense of remorse about the delays on our meals or drinks. When I went to the restroom to clean up after my tacos, the bathroom was in worse shape than most dive gas stations. Sad to say, I'm thinking Yelp reviews did a swing and a miss on this one, and although we live not far away, there are other options where we've enjoyed good Mexican food, and this one will not remain on our list.

    Lovely decor on the inside of this fairly newer Mexican restaurant. There's plenty of parking and very easy to get to. I came during lunch and was greeted and sat quickly. I asked for a sweet tea which never came unfortunately.. by the time my food came out, I just asked for a water as I noticed they were still making the tea and I wish my server would have just let me know instead of me just waiting to have something to drink. The food i had was good and prices were fine. There's no substitutions on lunch items and if you decide to omit anything there's an up charge on it. Even with the small mishap I'd love to come back and try more items they have to offer !

    This is a hidden gem! We had great quality food and service. Everything is fresh from the tortilla shells, to the chips and the salsa. We had chicken and also beef quesadillas. They both came with a giant plate of beans and rice, and pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. We also had the burrito grande steak and it was fresh and topped beautifully. We had the skinny margaritas and it was made with fresh limes and agave!!! Delicious !!! The interior is not only cleaned but so colorful and really nice to sit and see all the art all over the walls! We have found our New Mexican restaurant ! Nice job!!!

    We have been coming down to Atlanta for over ten years since our daughter moved here to Alpharetta so we're very familiar with the locale and have tried many restaurants. This time we were looking for an AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurant. Our usual has been El Porton, which has been okay, it's authentic, taco Tuesday was a deal, but we wanted to try something different this time. My daughter recommended Catrina's Mexican Grill by the Macdonald's on McGinnis/Ferry, and it was a hit. We got delicious authentic Mexican food. The chips & salsa were fresh. Our dinners came out hot and very tasty. Portions were not skimpy, the California Burrito was humongous, topped with both red and green chili sauce. Prices were reasonable. Service was fast but it was not busy (Sunday night). However, I did not get a refill on my water. The decor was authentic Mexican-a skeleton, which symbolizes I believe "the day of the dead" in Mexico is on the cover of their menu. In all, a very good authentic Mexican meal! Four stars because I didn't get water refill.

    Shout out to Catrina's Mexican restaurant! Always great service and definitely the place for fresh food. They also help with those with food allergies to make what you can have and like!

It is an open concept eatery with indoor and outdoor eating space. We ordered with the cashier but you can also order online or at the kiosk in store. I ordered 1 chicken tinga street taco and 1 regular chicken street taco. My cousin ordered 3 steak street tacos. We added the sauces of our choice from the sauce bar. The tacos were so flavorful. I preferred the regular chicken taco than the chicken tinga. We went again 2 days later and we ordered the tostada, the gym burrito and a chicken torta. My cousin said the bread was a a little hard for his liking, but the flavor was well. My other cousin really enjoyed the gym burrito and i enjoyed the tostada. The tostada is quite messy so i probably wouldn't get that again. However, this place does not disappoint and was a great find. I would visit it again and again and again.

Not overly salty at all, honestly one of the juiciest tacos I've had. The meat was flavorful without being too salty, and the tacos were loaded. Beto Burrito: My husband had this one and said, "No complaints," so that's a win. Guac: Fresh and tasty, though it needed a little extra lime. The only downside was the sweet tea, it tasted off. Not in a pleasant way.

We tried the La Piñata and the Smokey Old Fashioned, which arrived in a dramatic smoke dome--such a fun presentation. For our first bites, we ordered the Tostadas: handmade corn tostadas served with both red and green avocado sauces. They were fresh, vibrant, and a perfect start to the meal. Our main courses were equally impressive. The Short Rib with Mole Amarillo came with pickled habanero onions, rice, and plantains--rich, tender, and beautifully balanced. We also enjoyed the Arrachera, an outside skirt steak served with sautéed onions, chimichurri, rustic potatoes, and a bouquet salad. Every dish was plated beautifully and tasted exceptional. Our server, Dalia, made the experience even better. She was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive--always appearing at just the right moment, whether to refill our water or guide us through the menu. Overall, it was another amazing visit. We go there often and have never been disappointed.

This is my second time here and both times have been so good. We came as a party of 3 and left so happy and full. I love Mexican food holy moly We got the queso and octopus shrimp ceviche as starters. The queso was 3 cheeses: American, cotija, and Oaxacan. They heated it up under a salamander so it was nice and crispy on top, while being gooey all throughout. Also came with a couple of nice salsas. The ceviche was not my favorite because I don't prefer raw(ish) octopus, but the squid ink sauce was very flavorful. For our mains the 3 of us shared the red snapper, tuetano with lamb, and the mixteco poblano pepper. Red snapper had a nice charred smoky flavor from being grilled. Was more meaty than flaky in texture. It was our second time getting the mixteco poblano pepper and it hits. Highly recommend eating with some of the salsa as well if you get queso. The duck carnitas in it wasn't particularly duck-y today, but still very good. Best dish is definitely the tuetano. The bone marrow is so incredibly flavorful with the blue corn tortillas. Add some of the pickled onions and it's hard to go wrong with that flavor combo of salt, fat, and acid. if you're going to order one thing, I'd order this and share with a friend and tbh it's enough to be filling. For dessert we got the volcan de chocolate (basically lava cake). The lava cake and coconut ice cream combo is fantastic. You get bits of coconut flakes as you eat! Fair warning it isn't the brownie texture you may be used to, it's a bit more cakey. Amazing service the whole night! Almost got our cars booted because we forgot to validate until 1.5 hours in but luckily we were fine. The staff let us know they have been booting cars though so be wary!
