Great atmosphere! Cute outside patio! Get the frozen mango margaritas you won't regret it!

All good food. This place was recommended and lived up to its reputation. Service was good and atmosphere was nice! Will return

Great food Great service We decided to try a New Mexican restaurant in Ormond, will definitely return. read more

Food here is always wonderful, but on our last visit the service was horrible. This time was a turn-around, service was phenomenal! Which we were happy about as it makes the good taste even better when the experience itself is as great. Yay!! read more

I was very satisfied with the service at this establishment. Great food! The seasoning is THERE. The place is clean and good lighting the decor is very beautiful too. read more

delicious dinner with friends tonight, fun atmosphere-a great vacation from reality for a bit. There were sooo many drinks to choose from! The house margarita was pretty good, but the Rico suave was my favorite! read more

We recently found this little place and decided to give it a try. I am very picky with my Mexican food! Growing up in San Diego, I always had the best Mexican food available. This place was FANTASTIC! I ordered the pork tacos and my husband ordered the tamales. We loved our meals. The waitress was wonderful and sweet. The place was extremely clean as well. Definitely the best Mexican food I've had since moving to FL! read more

We stumbled upon La Catrina and I'm so glad that we did!! We actually planned on going to another Mexican restaurant in the area but it looked closed so we went to La Catrina and it was awesome!!! The staff was so kind and made our experience perfect! We were seated right away and our waitress brought us chips and salsa then took our drink orders. She made our margaritas and they were delicious!! She then took our dinner orders and also gave suggestions on what she liked the best! Our food came out so quickly and it was piping hot! I ordered the chicken fajitas and they were so tasty!! I was completely stuffed. Everyone I was dining with really enjoyed their meals and the restaurant was decorated very authentic, it was so fun! The restaurant is authentic Mexican food and family owned, which I love! La Catarina will be our new Mexican cuisine destination in Ormond! read more

I hate to leave this review. My family and I decided to visit this restaurant on NYE based on the reviews I read here. Not all were great but we are easy going, we respect other's hussle, don't give anyone a hard time, etc. The service that we received was horrible. As soon as we walked in the door the greeter had an attitude. He seemed young and not eager to be there on NYE (which we get) so we didn't think much of it. Our waiter was "ok." I guess the issue began when I notified the man from the kitchen that came out to bring our appetizer, who was not wearing an uniform, that the sodas we asked for were flat and that possibly the machine needed "soda." We would take another drink possible after they added soda to the machine. The waiter came back to take our order and I asked if the other gentleman passed on the message about the soda? He said that we would need to get Jarritos instead. Which that wasn't the problem, we like Jarritos, but he didn't explain or apologize or asked to remove the flat drinks from the table. We ordered water and one Jarritos instead, I had to call the waiter again to remove the flat drinks from the table and he also seemed bothered. We ordered an appetizer which came to the table pretty quick! The man that brought us the appetizer brought one small plate to use to divvy up the appetizer among 4 people. After the soda situation was "resolved" I asked for more small plates to be brought to our table. The man not wearing a uniform was very sarcastic when responding as he also seemed bothered by me asking for a few more plates. I asked for 3 more to be brought to our table. The food was so-so. I've had way better. It is too pricey for the cheaply made food they served us. At paying they charged me for extra soft drinks that we didnt have and were bothered when I asked for them to be removed from my receipt. Our waiter sort of threw the check on the counter for me to sign vs. handing it to me in my hand. I didn't leave a tip because they didn't deserve it at all. In these type of situations i would normally leave $5 at least but the service was horrific. After we walked out and were getting in the car I spotted the man who brought us our appetizer standing at the door looking at us wrong. He threw something inside a garbage all while looking at us. We were all very confused at his behavior. We did nothing wrong and treated them with respect, and care. I am still in disbelief at this experience. Also, walking in the restaurant none of them gave us their names. Not our waiter, not anyone. read more

¡No me gusta! After 40 years of eating Mexican at some 200+ Mexican restaurants across the US and Mexico, this was hands-down the WORST. Portions were pathetic and price was excessive...but I COULD tolerate that if the food was good quality and super tasty. The "super chimichanga" looked more like a crepe...flat and white, like 2" wide x 4-5" longs and 1/2 " tall. It literally looked like a slice of bread with that, rather than being fried, was put in a panini press. Flavor of the beef wasn't even Mexican...more like Kansas City BBQ. Wish I thought to take a picture, but those already posted here of the chimichanga shows what you can expect. My wife and daughter ordered tamales, burrito and we all looked at one another hugely disappointed. The salsa is often an accurate precursor to the quality of an establishment's food, and this was true here. The salsa tasted like ketchup with some diced tomato, onion and pepper thrown in. read more

Fast service. Good food. Ordered fajitas and flavor was nice. First time visiting this location

What a great surprise! I normally only leave a review if it was bad. However I must leave one for this place! BEST MEXICAN FOOD I have ever had. And I have traveled for a living for a long time so I have been to many Mexican restaurants. The service was perfect, clean and the food all had such wonderful flavors. We are here on vacation but will be back for sure! read more

Serrano goat cheese stuffed peppers, the tamales, ceviche and Patron Margaritas are the best in town! We love everything we have tried on the menu! read more

Another Mexican restaurant in this location? We almost didn't stop, but the initial reviews were good. A friend also gave her recommendation. We stopped at 1pm on a Friday. The lunch crowd was just finishing. Service was quick and efficient. Our server was personable and attentive. We ordered a Super Chimichanga (beef) and Chile Relleno (cheese). Our orders came super fast and hotter than Hades! The rice was tender and flavorful, not overly salty or spiced. The refried beans were amazing. Definitely not from a can and reheated. The beans were tender. No chalky after taste. Initially I had my doubts about ordering a beef Chimichanga. But the beef proved to be very tender and spiced just right. Completely stuffed with beef tips not ground 'whatever' meat. The pico de gallo was fresh and not overly lime'd. The guacamole...OMG...i could eat a bowl of this and die happy. Very fresh, very chunky. My wild redhead said her Chile Relleno was authentic and stuffed with loads of tasty cheese. The poblano peppers were charred to remove the skin and waxy coating. A nice touch since most Mexican joints just use the poblanos anyway they get them. She reports the peppers were fresh, tasty, and not rubbery. One was spicier than the other which is a nice surprise. We were very happy with our meal and will be back. read more

I was in town visiting and my son suggested trying this restaurant for Mexican since he had heard good things. This was our second visit of the week here since it was so good the first time. We were greeted immediately and sat down in a booth that was divided with clear barriers for Covid precautions. The decor is so clean line and relaxing. Of course, we were treated to the chips and salsa. I would have liked to have a little more spice and flavor to the salsa, but the chips were good and fresh. The first time I ordered the chicken fajitas and this time that's what my son ordered. The veggies were so fresh and you definitely get enough food to bring home for leftovers. I ordered a la cart ground beef crunchy tacos. My only complaint is that you need to eat them fast so the shell doesn't get soggy. I can't say anything negative that would deter me from returning. I probably will even return next time I am in town. You have got to give it a try and let me know what you think. read more

We visited La Catrina on a busy Friday night, but called ahead and got seated upon arrival. They have inside and outside (sheltered) seating. Service was very friendly and visible, but somewhat slow, so plan for a lengthy meal. The atmosphere was nice. The restaurant and restrooms were very clean. The noise level was moderate. The menu featured a variety of appetizers, entrees, desserts, and beverage options. There were also menu options for children, and there were several families having dinner. The food was tasty, and the portions were very generous for the price. Our entrees arrived together and very hot. We enjoyed the chips & salsa, quesadillas, burritos, and fajitas. We ordered churros for dessert, which were outstanding! We really enjoyed our meals. read more

The Patron margarita is soon amazing! Great burritos too! The staff is friendly ! I love the grilled chicken salad too!

the food was amazing! service was amazing! i had an amazing time! what an amazing restaurant!

Great food, great service! They are kind of fast and frenetic, in a good way, because your food comes out quick and hot. They are super polite and always checking on you. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Tried this gem on a whim while out doing chores. The decor is nice and they have a full liquor bar. We started with the Holy Moly Guacamole and it was sensational. An excellent start. Very flavorful, fresh and plentiful. My better half had the Blackened Chicken Salad and loved it. I had one of the lunch specials at the back of the menu, La Bandera Super Burrito. Ordered it with carnitas. Flavorful and huge. The pork wasn't your normal over-shredded affair. It was delicious chunks of moist meat. The red and green sauce and the queso toppings were way above average for your normal strip mall Mexican joint. High praise and we will be back. read more

Great food, great drinks and great service - highly recommended!! One of our happy places in town.

First time here.. came after playing PICKLEBALL at Pictona! Excellent meal!! Reasonable prices for lunch. I had the Cozumel Chimichanga I believe it was called... grilled shrimp with rice and veggies!! Oh my gosh, fantastic!! The veggies were best veggies I have ever had a Mexican restaurant! My wife had the pollo margarita!! Also excellent... chicken done very nice ... not dried out AT all!! Moist and tasty! Little tequila in the marinade. Will definitely be back for more tasty meals here!! Draft beer also fairly priced with the type of pitchers with the ice in center to keep beer cold. They have outside seating which would be nice on not so warm days. Give this place a try for sure! read more

They did not drain the juice off my bean and veggie bowl and my food was like a soup bowl. I drained a cup of black bean juice off bowl so I could eat it, as it was so expensive. They did not drain the hamburger juice off my husbands meal, WTH? Was so excited for a birthday meal here as the reviews rated it greatly, BUT so disappointed! $78.00 for three meals, one beer and a child's plate, plus tip =$93.00. This place is not for me or my family. We normally spend less than $50.00 for Mexican dinner with margaritas. read more

Went in cause me and my wife were looking for a small mom & pop type place I feel this fit the discription well as a small but nice private owned place to eat. The food was well priced and very tasty. I ate till I was stuffed almost couldn't finish. Delicious chimichanga. The service left something to be desired. Wasn't bad survive but also wasn't the small mom & pop restaurant vibe the rest of the experience gave off. Over all a great little place to stop in for a bite. Worth all 4 stars! read more

One of the best restaurants I've ever ever been to. The beer was nice and cold, and the food was served quickly. Beautiful scenery.

Portion of food was small and my re-beans didn't care for. Rice was cold. I ask for cheese in everything and did not see it in my Beef quesadilla. Would not go back again. read more

We eat here once a month for the past 2-3 year. Sometimes they confuse their sauces, but generally the food is ok, but small portions. The other day we took out a BURRITO ESPECIAL, the price was $3.00 higher than last time, but they included 2 burritos. The spices were different, the rice and beans were cold, and super small amounts. Generally, the refied beans have been about a 2 tablespoon size, which is tiny, but this was tinier. The salsa was too spicy and a bad flavor, and the nachos were stale. The first cold nacho I ate I had to spit out, and I couldn't get rid of that taste all day! terrible!! Not an enjoyable meal. All new employees in the restaurant, I won't be back. read more

Great food, reasonably priced, staff is fantastic. Choose to eat inside or outside, both are great. The best chunky guacamole I have ever eaten. read more

While ambiance and service was wonderful, the food disappointed a bit. Perhaps a mistake using cinnamon in the meat or sauce, but only one of the four enchiladas tasted normal and it was the cheese one, and on the end untouched by the sauce. I lived in Phoenix, AZ the past 25 years so perhaps a bit tainted. In the spirit of being constructive while there, shared the info with the waiter to possibly make an improvement in a tomato based sauce. It's like the skyline chili of mexican restaurants. Not for me...which is unfortunate cause it's so close to our home. read more

Enjoyed the meals we had, delicious and large quantity of food, nice staff wearing masks. Dessert was excellent price was reasonable. Certainly, will go back LOVE THE PATIO. Especially at night read more

My lunch was good. I had the fajitas but my husband was served someone else's lunch and then the man went and swapped it from another table. Hope they did not breathe on it. The server took his lunch break in the booth behind us. I saw him touching his face often and then touching our stuff. Otherwise it was a clean restaurant. The small amount of sour cream they give you is only for one taco. My husband said his food was greasy. Not sure I would go back. read more
