The service was outstanding, Meghan and her support team were great. The food had some great stuff, and some not so great. The steak with avocado was out of this world!, the tuna tartare was reported to be fabulous, I thought the key lime pie was great, but others disagreed with me, and the Catrina Margarita was fabulous. Our party of 9 was mostly satisfied. The guacamole was a disappointment, way too bland, and very expensive, and the plantains were pretty much awful, but they were very kind and took it off the bill. So, I would say this is a solid 4. Definitely worth a try. read more

The food here is 4 stars. Quite good, not earth shattering. The staff here are two stars. Cold and arrogant. The portions here are 2 stars. Don't leave me hungry with a $45 bill for 2-just entrees no drinks. That's just rude! read more

been there for happy hour and the drinks and food and ambiance were excellent. excellent margaritas

Do not get the seafood "quesadilla." I don't know where they got the idea that it was okay to call something a quesadilla and not put cheese in it. "Queso" means cheese. It's in the name. But carrots, cucumbers, and giant slices of raw garlic are not acceptable substitutes. I honestly couldn't believe what I was eating or that a food service establishment actually charges people for it. read more

Good choices, high quality ingredients, great preparation all add up to a wonderful meal. Prices are reasonable, but certainly not cheap. We will return and try something different next time - because everything on the menu looks good. My wife is gluten sensitive and they allow you to switch out the flour tortillas for a corn taco on every menu item. Happy hour prices are very helpful. Only suggestion, sit in the room that isn't shared with the bar as the bar can get noisy. Decor is nice. If you want to try good, modern mexican dishes be sure to try La Catrina. read more

We went on a Tues night and the inside was spaced out enough at first for us to be comfortable. The taco platter was delish (we liked the fish and cauliflower the best). The shrimp tacos were very bland--needed a salsa or crema or something. The fundito to was not fully melted which was disappointing. The pork belly "tostadas" were good but expensive for their size. We had had the guacamole before which was very good (again, slightly expensive). Overall, not perfect, but some bright spots. read more

Dropped in for happy hour. Delicious. Service was great, drinks were yummy. I absolutely will return for dinner.

I can't understand why a restaurant would turn down business rather than make you a burrito (lunch menu) for take out at dinner time. The option they offer for the burrito is the ribeye steak but it's a platter. We ordered a few other dishes that were good but we really wanted that carne asada burrito with our order. I hope they consider changing their policy on this. read more

AMAZING experience. Service was perfect, which I've never said before. Love that it's byo. Most of all, the food is stupendous. We had the ceviche special. I'd return tomorrow to eat it again. The 2 seafood entrees were also delicious, grilled veggies on the side ideally prepared. read more

Really excellent food. The avocado gazpacho is unusual and delicious. The potions are just right and I highly recommend the Tacos de Coloflor and the Enchilada de Costilla. If there's such a thing as haute Mexican cuisine in a relaxing, comfortable setting, this is it. Welcome to the neighborhood. Can't have too many Mexican restaurants. read more

I usually don't leave reviews but this place was really ehh especially for the price. We had the carne asada dinner, chicken enchiladas and the plantains. It is very pricey for starters. Everything was just kind of bland except for the huge chunks of raw garlic in my steak. The rice was just plain (undercooked & crunchy) white rice. The plantains were the savior of the meal. I understand the location but I wouldn't return anytime soon if their prices stay so high while being on the bland side. read more

I was excited for a new restaurant and the staff was friendly and very helpful with my food allergies.... the food wasn't gross, we ate it, BUT it was extremely disappointing if you were expecting Mexican food. It felt very out of a box/can/freezer section. Not many ingredients nor seasoning. Nowhere even close to authentic Mexican, it's almost inappropriate to call it a Mexican restaurant. Example: inside the chicken enchiladas was literally just plain pulled unseasoned chicken, nothing else with barley a spattering of sauce on top. I guess it is good for people who don't like a lot a seasoning!! read more

We purchased a wide variety of items - from seafood to tacos to kids menu, side items and flan - and it was all very good. La Catrina is not unreasonably priced but it is too expensive to be in our regular rotation of restaurants. I wouldn't hesitate to go often if price were no object or if the portions were much larger. It was about $180 plus tip for food for 4 adults and 2 kids (so two kids meals). We got takeout margaritas for another $32 that was in a 1-quart soup container. Drinks were ok, if a little watery, and probably not worth $1 per oz. Nice people. Good service. Good food. read more

Front the very start our server Allie was fantastic. Bubbly personality and quick and accommodating. Had the octopus tostadas and well as the ceviche (shrimp/ cucs/ Serrano pepper) on a tostada... sensational. Spicy chicken quesadilla was bold and flavorful and aromatic. Highly recommend! Incredibly FRESH! All the food was so very FRESH! Chicken Tacos also fantastic. Finally Tres Leche was moist and sweet (not overly sweet) churros crisp outside soft inside!!! People! Come eat at this place. And ask for Allie. 5 stars easy! read more

Loved the vibe inside this place. Excellent staff, very helpful and nice. The guac was amazing, we got the regular guac and the special with crab, both were great! Got the 4 chicken tacos as well and they were great. read more

Great dinner. Not your pedestrian mundane "Mexican" restaurant. You could tell the moment the Nachos came. Not a plate of chips dripping with cheez wiz. The chorizo with fresh veggies and chihuahua cheese. The mussels special was truly special and loved the camerones were delicious. And great chorizos! Can't wait to return read more

No lie. I have been here 4 times in the last two months! The food, service & atmosphere is phenomenal! Highly recommend the quesadilla de Cameron, tuna tostadas & Nachos La Casa with chorizo! Currently byo but looks like they will have a liquor license soon from the sticker in the window. read more

Wowzers, this is the best guacamole in delco. Candidly, I'm a dos gringos die hard -- but always thought their guac was a little overrated. This guac seals that sentiment for me. The salsa verde is also excellent! Wish they had a spicy salsa as well! Have also had the salpicon salad which was excellent. Finally, also tried camarones a la Diablo-- it was okay -- Agave is the gold standard for that -- although I only tried La Catrina's through takeout, so may revise once I can retry in person! read more

La Catrina - Guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

I was there on friday and i had a delicious dinner. Those Frida spicy margaritas were unbelievable. Can't wait to take my mom with me.

This was one of our first outings since the state was opened a few weeks ago. What a treat! We shared some Nachose de la Casa and had a drink. We looked forward to returning for full meal. Tonight, we had a dinner of Avocado Gespacho,, Tacos de Carnitas, Tacos de Pollo al Carbon, and finished with Churros. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The staff, Ellie is very outgoing and observant. What a wonderful restaurant to recommend. Also they are BYOB until their license comes in. read more

Was very excited to try their food and the atmosphere was very nice until the manager/owner was extremely rude to me. Walked out and will never go back. Being a new business/restaurant in Media with a lot of competition they better step up their game on the customer service side and treat everyone with the respect they deserve. read more

Went here yesterday with my pup for happy hour only to find out that because I choose to sit outside and not be inside that I could not indulge in their in happy hour specials. No where on the website does it state that happy hour is for indoor dining only. Crab and shrimp quesadilla was good, my sweetheart loved his taco . Drink were overpriced and watered down . My 1800 coconut tequila def had water in it . read more

Went for happy hour because of the good reviews but all the food had no taste and the margarita was awful. No taste at all was basically lemon water. Our waitress did not care for us either. Did not read any specials of tell us about happy hour. I heard her speak to other tables with specials and about their different options for happy hour. read more

So delicious! The guacamole was amazing. We had a great time. The food was so good. A nice chill environment, it's nice the doors can open up to the outside read more

Food was not good and definitely not worth how expensive it is. They have touch less menus but the bathroom is not at all Covid-friendly. Staff were very nice and you could see them cleaning all the tables and chairs in between diners. read more

We recently tried La Catrina for take out after hearing several really good reviews from friends. It recently opened in the space next to Deals which in the past few years has been several different restaurants. I have to say, I think and hope this place has staying power. The inside was redone and presents as clean and modern. All of the staff were friendly and our order was ready right on time. When we picked it up they had people spaced out well inside and some outdoor seating too. We got the chicken nachos, mahi tacos and short rib encholadas. The nachos were remarkable! Lots of interesting and well flavored toppings and a great toppings to chips ratio. We were impressed by them as takeout I can imagine they're even better fresh. The prices were right on for quality and portion size. We can't wait to try more next time. I hope they do well here in Media its a great addition! read more

I think your prices on doordash are bugged. 22$ for fish tacos and 11$ for a small guacamole? Dafuq? I'll delete the review if the price drops. read more

Grossly overpriced, mediocre service. The food was standard Mexican fare, but the prices were off the chart.

Great experience - food came out really fast and was delicious! We came for happy hour (4-6pm) and we originally sat outside but happy hour is ONLY inside so they happily moved us in to accommodate. Muscles and ceviche were amazing!! read more

We ordered takeout, several kinds of tacos, guac, some sides and a kids quesadilla. The speed of the service was remarkable and they had everything ready to go in about 20 minutes. Pickup was easy and the staff was super friendly on the phone and in person when I arrived to pick up. Overall the food was good although some of the taco types could have used a little more flavor and were somewhat bland. Highly recommend the fish tacos and guac though!! read more

Our server was super friendly. The drinks were delicious and the mussels are an absolute must !! The broth was the best thing I ever did have. Give it a go ! read more

I've been to La Catrina twice and have gotten take out once. The food was great and so fresh each time. The staff was very friendly as well. I will be back with more friends and family. read more

I have been to La Catrina twice. The first experience (preCOVID) was good. However, I was there last night with a friend I had not seen in quite some time. We had a couple drinks and some appetizers and visited for several hours. After we paid our bill and my friend was still finishing her drink the manager asked us to leave because they had a line of people waiting and he said we had been at the table too long. He said anything over 1 1/2 hours is not allowed. I have never had this happen before and won't return to this restaurant due to this rude and inconsiderate behavior by the management. read more
