    The chimichanga on the grill with chicken.
    Jenna S.

    We celebrated Mother's Day here together as a family. The chips, salsa and queso were top-notch. Our food was amazing and the margaritas were very delicious! The only day was the service was rather slow with our bar orders (this could've just been because they were understaffed and very busy.) We will be back again!

    They say you can't judge a book by its cover but you can judge a Mexican restaurant by its salsa. I fancy myself as a salsa snob and I don't know if there is a more consistently executed recipe than the salsa at La Catrina. Dale Doback once referred to Brennan Huff's vocal talent as a mixture of Fergie and Jesus, I for one would refer to this salsa as a mixture of your grandmothers secret recipe and the Mona Lisa. Perfect, some say. Or as our friends south of the boarder say, Perfecto. My prompt here tells me to discuss service and ambiance.. while both of them were well above great, the one thing that will get me return is the salsa. Everyone asks, Jordan or LeBron? Who cares, I want to know your favorite table salsa and anyone who says anything but La Catrina is WRONG. Non salsa bullet points - Pina Colada taste like a Jimmy Buffet album - Chips are the perfect thin/crisp ratio - Patio could have more fans but the salsa will distract that downfall - The house made hot sauce will put hair on your chest - A breakfast burrito would do numbers there - Parking is limited but that's besides rhetorical point - Could use a touch tunes machine (unless there's one in there and I haven't seen, then I apologize) - Have and will be back 4.992/5.00 (-.01 because there is no coronaritta, but again SALSA)

    Chimichanga on the Grill - I always get it with steak

    We've been going to La Catrina for about four years. We're not regulars by any means, but we enjoy our meals there! The restaurant has a decent amount of seating. They also have a double decker patio. Their parking lot is small so it's mostly all street parking. We've waited up to an hour for a table before. There isn't really anywhere to wait inside when they're super busy so you typically have to hang around outside. The service is very iffy. This last time it was downright bad. If it weren't for a guy who was not our server helping us, we would have probably left. And they were not busy at all. The grilled chimichangas and fish tacos are my faves! Margaritas aren't too bad either! We'll be back and we'll be hoping for a better server!

    CHICKEN OR STEAK FAJITA
    Kelse S.

    La Catrina never lets me down! Definitely one of my favorite places to get Mexican food in stl. This last visit we had was probably some of the most delicious food I've had there. We came a bit closer to closing time and the staff had no issue seating us and was welcoming- so appreciated! We were seated on their patio outside at one of their large booths. We had a party of about 10 people and it fit us all super well. We ordered drinks first and then ordered queso and our entrees. I got a steak quesadilla and it was perfect! Deliciously cooked, melty cheese, and super filling. Definitely hit the spot! :) thanks la catrina!

    We went to La Catrina Saturday night and, we can't wait to go back! We only had a 15min wait, also the vibe was amazing with the music, atmosphere! We ordered the Carne Asada Tacos with a Quesadilla Fajita with rice/beans all 10/10! It was super fast, we had a booth with a lot of space since we have a toddler. Our waitress was amazing I wish I remembered her name, the margarita was also great! I can't wait to go back!

    Complimentary chips and salsa
    Cherie R.

    Awesome spot for Mexican food in the Hampton area! You're greeted by very friendly service and complimentary bottomless fresh chips and salsa! We also got the guacamole and queso - both were delicious, loved the guacamole especially. I got the Chimichanga on the Grill with chicken, it was really good and super filling! It came with a generous of rice, refried beans, salad (lettuce, pico), guacamole, and sour cream. Loved it. My friend got the enchiladas and really enjoyed those. The quesadilla was huge and very filling. My other friend got the shrimp taco soup which she really enjoyed! It even came with side tortillas. They have an indoor and outdoor space, overall it was a great experience!

    The food, service, vibes are always TOP MARKS. We love love love coming here. Patio is beautiful and the service is fast, friendly, and the consistency with the food is brilliant. We have brought out of town family and friends because we have such a great time here. It's 5 stars every time.

    Darrien R.

    Not always can you find a place with great food drinks and service but this spot does it every time. Patio during the summer is an added perk

    Chips & Salsa, Carnitas Tacos, Steak Tacos, Salmon Plate, Rice & Beans
    Abigail R.

    I love this tried and true restaurant on Hampton. This gem is always packed and the food is always consistent. Even when packed you usually can get seated pretty quickly. The restaurant itself has indoor and outdoor seating and they are always playing some of my favorite Spanish songs. Food: they start you off with chips and salsa and it's always a struggle not to devour them all before the food gets there. I am a fan of their tacos and usually order steak or carnitas. The order of tacos comes with rice and beans and they are so good! Here we decided to try the salmon plate and it was light and refreshing. The salmon was perfectly seasoned and very well cooked. Service: we always have a great time here! The hostess is always warm and welcoming and our servers are really attentive.

    Chips and salsa!

I wasn't super hungry so we got chips and salsa and guacamole to share and my friend got the chicken fajita. The salsa comes with two different salsa options, both were a bit spicy. The guacamole was classic and came out with a cute serving spoon. They had lots of food options but it's a bit more expensive than most Mexican spots in the city. I think my friend was a little disappointed that there was an up charge to add vegetables to her fajita and the portion wasn't as big as she thought it might for a $20 plate, but it tasted good. Super nice service and cute on the inside. They have a back patio that's very big and heated. Street parking.

We chose inside and although they have a couple tables out front, I realized they have a super cute patio out back. Our server, Obed, was friendly and explained everything we needed to know as well as answering all the questions! He was great! I had eaten a big lunch, so I ordered a couple of sides, Poblano Rajas and Half-Smashed Black Beans no cotija. For the table, my daughter's ordered the Classic Queso, and Chips & Salsa Two-Ways. The Queso was good but those salsas? They were really great. The red was smokey, which I love and not a lot of places do, and the green was a spicy pineapple, I think, it was so good! There was a Handmade Limeade ordered and it was so refreshing! I enjoyed the sides I ordered; I tasted the Al Pastor Empanadas, delicious and more so with that green salsa - sweet and spicy! Great spot I am glad we tried. Would love to return for a pitcher of margaritas when I am not driving!

    It's been a few weeks since I had any pocket cash to go out to eat... so I decided to pick a food…read moresource at random for a Saturday afternoon, and I'm SO GLAD I did... You know how they say one of the best things about Mexico is the food? I have to admit, I would honestly wouldn't know and just have to trust the stories I've heard, as I've never been lucky enough to go to Mexico.... But all my life I've heard stories about people who go and basically remind you.. NEVER hit a restaurant for _authentic_ Mexican food. You want to hit the street vendors. Well, St. Louis has a fantastic surprise.. Now you can do that right here in the city! Part of a three-restaurant set up, Amigo Sole is the "street vendor" restaurant that's not on the street. (And having met the owner of the full set-up, I'm REALLY hoping i get invited to the grand opening of Jekyll & Hyde) As it was middle of the day Saturday, I didn't ask for anything alcoholic (so i don't know if the reviewer that asked for alcoholic beverages and was told they didn't have any was just unlucky or if it was true.) But I'll take a Mexican Coke over American Coke any day of the week (NO, get your minds out of the gutter.. not that powdered one!). Anyway, I went simple for a quick stop, and went with the Chicken Bomb. at the recommendation of the cashier and he was quick to name this one off.. (and always remember cashiers, have a favorite READY, so thumbs up to the cashier on this one!) . And then to my amazement.. no more than 5 minutes later, HOT, tasty, cheesy, chicken quesadilla style BOMB-diggity! (Ironically this one is not listed on the website menu, only the instore menu? Come on Sole, online is everything today :) ) Absolutely delicious food.. and absolutely messy too, as it literally would fall apart in my hands.. (HEY, that's a good thing!) As for the decor.. 100% true, as Amigo Sole definitely has SOUL! (and lots of soles!). Again Amigo Sole isn't designed to be a 'great sit down' restaurant, it's designed to be street-vendor FUN!!!! and with what decoration they have, it pulls it off fantastically in my opinion. So just based on my meal, what the owner told me about the Amigo Sole, you're getting EXACTLY what you're promised a Mexican street vendor serving fantastic Mexican street vendor food, only with a roof over your head the entire time. During the meal, met again (Who i believe to be) the owner of the store and talked with him about Amigo Sole and how amazing it was to me... and he told me about the three-restaurant combination. (And I apologize sir, but I completely forgot your name when we talked!). even mentioning they share three kitchens when it gets busy (so I was kinda lucky as i think the rain scared everyone out for the day), but I'm still hoping for the Jeckyll & Hyde invitation! (I'll even pretend to find a date if I have to for the upscale part!)

    Wow! Definitely what we were looking for and hoping it would be! You know how you see a dish and…read morethen go try it out and it is nothing like what you thought it would be??? NOT HERE!!
