I sat at the bar and enjoyed a Dos Equis Amber with the complimentary chips and salsa. The chunkier salsa was my favorite over the milder one. The bar tender recommended the Katrina special; chicken, steak and shrimp on Mexican rice and cheese and I added a side of refried beans. The bar tender brought me a fresh bowl of chips and I enjoyed eating my meal on the chips with the beans and salsa. The portion size was big enough to stretch into dinner and 2 lunches. Definitely a tasty meal and a great value for the portion size. I am a creature of habit and I am stikedto have a New Mexican restaurant a stones throw from my neighborhood. read more

Well we wanted to try a New Mexican restaurant and sadly we chose this one. I ordered a drink with GIN and when it came, I could not identify the alcohol. My husband went to the bar and they said it was JIM (Jim Beam)...... they do not have GIN even though there are multiple drinks on the menu listing it. Then our meals came and I'll just add a photo of the steak.... We paid for our meals but wish we hadn't. read more

Mediocre at best. Everything needed salt, it was rather loud inside, and the queso had no flavor. Service was fine. Wouldn't go back. I know my bar is high since I'm from Texas, but I expected better based on the reviews. read more

We had a great experience here! We were seated quickly and chips and salsa brought to our table immediately! Chips were warm and salsa had good flavor. Decor is festive and bright setting the vibe as fun and casual. Our server came to the table and took our order for the house margaritas that were in special. They were cold and strong, perfect for a hot July day! We had the chori pollo and enchiladas and both were excellent! Portions and prices were good as well. They do have the robot that carries the food to the table which we found fun and I'm sure helps the staff! Will definitely be back for margaritas soon! read more

Visited on a Sunday at 12pm for lunch. Normal Mexican restaurant. Located in Sun Valley shopping center. Decorated beautifully with a bunch of Catrina, Dia de los Muertos portraits. Immediately sat down. Ordered a ceviche tostada with a Ground beef taco salad. Nothing spectacular to be honest. Normal flavoring on food. Just the same old Mexican food, drinks and ambiance. Overall, wouldn't mind coming back if in the area and craving Mexican. read more

The food was satisfactory. The service was satisfactory the price was moderate. It can be a little loud inside. When we initially came, there was somebody that asked how many in our party they left and then another person came up and took people from behind us that just walked in, never acknowledging us. I had a little bit higher expectations. Overall, I'd give it 2 1/2 stars. I'm not either way of recommending or not recommending. read more

Great food and good service at a reasonable price. We have been back many times and will be back again.

Pretty decent spot, a little on the pricey side. Staff were nice enough and the food was decent . The only minus was that they had a sign out front advertising specials for food and drinks and when we ordered the server had no clue what we were talking about. The server asked the bar and they said no that's not a thing and then erased the sign. We ordered something else but I'm sure that cause a little bit of confusion for a few people. read more

I went here for the first time recently. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I had a to-go order for a California burrito w/ steak, no guac, add shredded cheese. It was just ok.There were no fries in the burrito which was a bummer b/c that is why I ordered it. The mild salsa was pretty bad, it tasted like a cross between tomato sauce and ketchup, I couldn't put my finger on it. Undecided if I would go back to try something else. read more

I'm going to give this 5 stars because overall the service was fantastic and the vibe was great! We never had to ask for refills of chips or salsa and the waitress was always prompt without being annoying! We ordered the chori con pollo which was delicious and the flautas which came 2 ground beef and 2 chicken. Going to be honest that these were not my favorite, the chicken and beef were pretty plain with no sauce or cheese and the flautas were covered with lettuce and pico making them a bit soggy. The skinny margarita was delicious and they don't skimp on tequila!! They have seating inside and outside on a nice patio. The other slight turnoff was no prices on drinks or dessert menus... just a pet peeve I guess. I would definitely come back, great experience! read more

Just ate at Katrina's in Sun Valley & was very pleased. Started with the guacamole that was delicious. My husband had veggie fajitas with pineapple & I had a shrimp taco salad & we really enjoyed both. Shrimp was cooked perfectly & was flavorful not bland & chewy like so many. My husband liked the variety of his fajitas & said they were cooked perfectly. Server was very friendly & attentive & it was a beautiful day so we were able to eat on their patio. Very much enjoyed our dining experience. Will definitely be back!!! read more

The food is really good here, but we have ordered take out twice over the last two weeks and there has been something wrong both times. On the first order, an entire meal was missing. The second time the spicy salsa was missing. read more

I've been a regular at Katrina's since they opened. The food is always perfect and if there's ever an issue, the owner takes the time to address problems with the staff and takes the appropriate measures to ensure for a perfect experience. I grew up in Houston and I know good Mexican food. Don't even waste your time or money going anywhere else when you're craving Mexican. This is the place to go! read more

A Flavor Fiesta at Katrina's Mexican Grill on Indian Trail, NC Tucked away in the heart of Indian Trail, Katrina's Mexican Grill is a vibrant culinary gem that serves up bold, authentic flavors with a side of warm Southern hospitality. From the sizzle of fajitas to the zest of tropical drinks, every bite and sip here feels like a celebration. Here's why this spot deserves a standing ovation: Fajitas That Ignite the Senses Let's start with the star of the show the fajitas! Arriving on a scorching skillet with an irresistible smoky aroma, the tender strips of grilled steak or chicken are perfectly marinated and paired with caramelized onions and peppers. The DIY aspect of wrapping them in warm, pillowy tortillas (don't skip the fresh guac and pico de gallo!) turns dinner into an interactive feast. It's a dish that's as fun to assemble as it is to devour. Torta Mexicana: A Sandwich Masterpiece For a handheld flavor explosion, the Torta Mexicans a must-order. This towering Mexican-style sandwich is piled high with juicy, seasoned meat (carne asada or chorizo are winners), creamy refried beans, ripe avocado, tangy pickled jalapeños, and a smear of mayo on a toasted telera roll. The combination of textures--crunchy, soft, and melty--makes every bite a revelation. Pair it with a side of crispy fries or their zesty street corn for the ultimate combo. Mango Loca: Sip of Sunshine Thirsty? The Mango Loca is pure tropical bliss. This vibrant drink blends sweet mango puree with a splash of lime and a playful kick of Tajín chili salt on the rim. It's fruity, slightly spicy, and utterly refreshing--like vacation in a glass. Whether you opt for the non-alcoholic version or spike it with tequila (because why not?), it's the perfect companion to their bold dishes. Atmosphere & Warmth Katrina's radiates a lively, family-friendly vibe with its colorful decor, friendly staff, and the hum of happy diners. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, enjoying a margarita on the patio, or diving into a feast with friends, the energy here is infectious. Pro tip: Don't miss their daily specials or their legendary weekend brunch--you might stumble upon a new favorite! Final Bite Katrina's Mexican Grill on Indian Trail isn't just a restaurant--it's a destination for joyfully crafted Mexican cuisine. With sizzling fajitas, soul-satisfying tortas, and drinks that transport you to the tropics, every visit feels like a mini escape. Bring your appetite, your crew, and maybe even a designated driver for those mango locas... you'll want to stay awhile! ¡Vamos a comer!* This is one Indian Trail hotspot you'll be craving long after the last bite. read more

Great food and service in Indian Trail. The menu offers many options. Luis was excellent! Will visit again soon.

The food was great, service was great, and I was pleasantly surprised with the experience. Will definitely be back!

First time eating here, and pleasently suprised at how tasty it was. I had the Katrina's special and it was very good. Meat, cheese and rice and it was flavorful and filling. I could have used more rice but I do like a lot of rice. Servers were attentive and helpful when asked for recommendations. They give out two salsas with chips and the "spicy" one was very nicely flavored. Asked for multiple refills. The plain salsa lacked distinction flavor, but that seemed to be what it was going for. Very happy with Katrina's and looking forward to getting it again. read more

I've been several times to Katrina's and the food is very good, the service is pleasant and friendly and has a great overall vibe. I'm a retiree and I love to have solo movie days at Sun Valley Movie Theater and find places that are enjoyable eating on my own with good environment and friendly service. I either go here for Mexican or Athenian Grill for Greek food. read more

Highly recommend! the Carnitos Tacos were fantastic. Our server, Luis, was top notch!

Food was good, margarita was watered down. Not the confrontational type but husband asked for drink to be fixed.. they added triple sec and brought it back. Exactly why I didn't want them to "fix" it. Never offered refills on regular drinks and overall the service was slow. read more

The food and the service were great. A restaurant that is definitely going into the rotation.

Amazing! Great food, fast and nice service. They even have a cute little robot to bring your food!

My piña colada was delicious and a robot brought out our food. Our human server was really friendly and everything was super chill and efficient. I'll probably be back for more piña coladas. read more

We (5 of us) went to Katrina's on Mother's Day. I was expecting to have to wait and although they were plenty busy they sat us right away. The food, service and atmosphere were all 5 star!! But they also gave every mom a rose. It was so nice and unexpected. We will absolutely be going back!! read more
