La Catrina - CHICKEN BURRITO - Pizza Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

Fabulous food and margaritas! We were staying a few doors down and decided to eat here just because it was so close. The host and server were very friendly and attentive. The food was great. All 3 of us ordered something different and loved each dish. Portions were big and the price was very reasonable. The place is very small and has some outdoor seating. We sat inside because it was a little chilly out. The only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 was just that the music was way too loud for such a small place. I know it makes me sound old, but I could not hear our soft spoken server at all. We would definitely come back again next time we are in the area. read more

La Catrina - Envueltos de mole poblano. - Pizza Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

Excellent Thursday evening dinner. Friendly staff make you feel welcome. Great prices. Fresh and flavorful. Tostadas special (3) not pictured were delicious. Loved my shrimp dish. Complimentary black beans with chips to start are always the best. Also, beside a special menu, they had really good daily deal specials on the wall. Wish I took a pic cuz I can't remember what they were--one day of the week was three tacos for $$. One day of the week was two ribs special. Another day of the week was buy one pizza, get one half off. One day had a guac special. I wish I could remember them all. read more

I'm no expert on Mexican food, but just as someone who appreciates good food, I really enjoyed my meal at La Catrina. The menu seems versatile and there's likely something for everyone to enjoy. I had a burrito, while my dining companions had a burrito bowl and a mashed potato pizza with a Mexican twist. Portions were hearty and felt like a great value. Every dish was flavorful and cooked just right. We were stuffed and didn't have any room for dessert, but that's definitely something I have my eye on for next time! We found the service to be warm, friendly, and inviting. While the space wasn't huge, it should comfortably accommodate larger groups. They do offer alcoholic options such as margaritas and sangria. Regrettably the margarita was unavailable, but I found the sangria flavorful nonetheless. This will definitely be my go-to for Mexican food moving forward! Looking forward to trying more of their offerings on a future visit. read more

La Catrina - Margarita and Elote - Pizza Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

Reasonably priced food that was very good, we got takeout . The carnitas taco were tasty.

We were really excited to try this place based on the positive reviews & proximity to our house but unfortunately we had a bad experience. We were seated inside & the server taking our order was very nice as were the rest of the staff. Unfortunately, after 40 minutes we still had no food or drink and others were coming in after us and they were being served their orders. We mentioned this to a staff member & our server came back and said he forgot to put in our order. When we finally got our order, about 30 minutes later (total of 70 minutes waiting) the tacos & guacamole were awful. Even the drinks were terrible. It was such an unfortunate experience & we will never return here. read more

It's hard to find a solid Mexican restaurant on the east coast... this place hits the spot! Immediate top tier customer service. Alberto was our waiter, he was so good he must have gotten trained by the chic fil a staff. Customer service was excellent. The food was even better! If you need some great Mexican food this it it! Will definitely be back! read more

La Catrina - Steak burrito with fries - Pizza Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

Amazing food and friendly service! Its a must try! They seated my family of 8 and it was comfortable!

We came here on Mother's Day Saturday and every table was occupied. Good to see a local establishment doing well. The hostess, servers, and bussers were all so nice, pleasant, attentive and helpful in spite of how busy they were. The inside is very colorful. Everything looks clean and like it's been well maintained. The food was awesome! Carne asada and tacos - you can't go wrong ordering either one or both! read more

My family and I got lunch on a whim. We enjoyed our seafood tacos. They tasted fresh and weren't over the top - pure to the ingredients. The guacamole was a nice portion, though it would have been better with more chips. The plantains were standard and very good. This spot is a solid option! read more

This restaurant would get a high score but I went over the weekend and it smelled like sewage in there. I think they had an issue with their plumbing so what would've been a great experience was ruined due to that read more

Super friendly service, great food. The burrito bowls are well worth the trip, and everyone is so accommodating. Hope this place is around for years to come! read more

What a nice spot for Mexican food near the beach! I love the brightly decorated dining room here. We tried a variety of their menu, which features tacos, traditional Mexican dishes, breakfast, and even pizzas and American foods! Everything we had was delicious - I especially loved the mole poblano, nachos, and scrambled eggs with chorizo. Refreshing aguas frescas that would be perfect for after a beach day, and their housemade desserts were phenomenal! Quick and attentive service as well. read more

Food was excellent. Margarita not great - too sweet. Small taqueria. Don't expect a tremendous amount of ambiance.

This place illegally added a higher tip on my receipt after I signed a copy. They shouldn't be trusted and are a disgusting business. Poorly managed with uncooked food. read more

I'm really impressed with this Taqueria. This is a clean, cute restaurant with seating indoors for maybe 16 people. Ordered the fresh guacamole and chips to start and for the main dish Amazing tacos Al pastor. Even in the middle of a Friday afternoon they provided great service and freshly made food. Definitely coming back here. read more

When I found myself back in Milford today, I was excited to realize I could head over to La Catrina for another wonderful takeout lunch. Again, I had the veggie quesadilla and again it was delicious!! Both times, my food was ready on time and I was greeted by a friendly staff member. Now I want to go for a meal inside. It's a beautiful interior with brightly colored Mexican artwork like Día de Los Muertos skulls and other details. I'll be back soon! ¡Hasta pronto! read more

Fresh, fresh, fresh food! Delicious. The foods stands on its own with proper seasoning (NOT salty at all). Staff is so nice and friendly. Shrimp burrito bowl is delish. The shrimp are sweet and fresh. Chicken tacos are stuffed with white meat. Same with the chicken burrito bowl. The sauces are homemade and fabulous.

Excellent food. The grilled chicken burrito bowl is really good and there's enough to have for lunch the next day!

Fresh food, family owned, very nice looking inside and out. Great service with an open kitchen.

I normally don't leave reviews for places unless it was a poor experience, but this place earned my positive vote. The food was fantastic and even when I ordered to go on the spot, it came out in a very timely manner. Great, great spot with great food whether you get tacos or a burrito, you will not be disappointed. Highly suggest! read more

We really enjoyed our meals. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The decorations were nice and gave us a lot to look at

Loved this unassuming taco spot. It was cozy, inviting, and had delicious and authentic tacos. I recommend the Al pastor .

Amazing owner who is very grateful for every customer. Their food is amazing... huge portions. Never disappoints. The restaurant is super cute and in a beautiful location across from the beach and Tyde. read more

Good food, quick service. A little pricey for lunch for two at 30$ but it's nice to support a local family owned business.

I've been to the West Haven location a few times, including with large groups, and everything has always been excellent. I absolutely love the carne asada, which is a delicious feast of a meal. I tried the new spot in the Walnut Beach area in Milford recently and it was also fantastic. The owners, wait staff, and everyone here are lovely and so accommodating, and the diners were all thoroughly enjoying the experience and their meals. The decor is colorful, bright, and cheerful, and chips and black bean dip to start were excellent as well. I hope La Catrina remains at this spot (and remains in West Haven) for a long time. Thanks! read more

I live across the street and eat here about once a month. It's consistently good. They have friendly service, it's small inside but has a patio so in nice weather enjoy the sea air. I'm not Mexican but my neighbors are and they say it's authentic. If you want to bitch about too much or not enough salt, or paper napkins or other trivia, don't eat here. If you want good value, you like Mexican cuisine, and you want to dine at a local place where they care, then I recommend La Catrina. read more

The food was all really good -- super flavorful all around. It's a really cute little place, everyone is very welcoming. They accommodated a demanding little toddler so well. We've gotten takeout before and loved the food but this was our first time going in person. We'll definitely be back! read more

I met people for lunch, and I'm returning as often as possible! Excellent food! Fresh as can be, in ridiculously generous portions, Aguas Frescas Cucumber is so delicious and refreshing; Aguachile took me back to a vacation in Cozumel, with a beautiful balance of lime, cilantro, onion, and cucumber with tender shrimp - I even drank the leftover juice! The wait staff polite and attentive, the wall murals rich with color. Destination Walnut Beach, CT - don't delay - plan your visit! read more

This place is a 10/10! Service is great. The atmosphere is great. The food is great. Everything is great. I would come back each day to try out their amazing pizzas and authentic Mexican food. read more

Food and service was stellar! I had the birria tacos and Al pastor, definitely a top 3 Mexican spot in Milford.

Tried out LA Cantrina tonight. They didn't disapoint. They have seating inside and outside. The hostess and servers were very nice. Inside seating was nice, tables were spaced, so you weren't packed in. Had wide selection of food. The music was one but it wasn't loud. Had the beef burrito. It had heat, but it didn't over power the flavor of the rest of the burito. read more

Very good Mexican food! Friendly service! Location close to home! Neighborhood hot spot!

Fast, fresh food, reasonable prices. Pizza, quesadillas and burrito bowls are all excellent!
