Second time in a month. Food is really good. Our friends ordered Guacamole for appetizer, it was really good. We ordered the cheese & chorizo appetizer, we will skip this the next time. I ordered carne asada plate, it was just okay. It had a spice that I did not particularly liked. I will try another dish next time. Hubby ordered shrimp tacos, he is super happy with the flavor and portion. Service was friendly and efficient. I just like the vibe of this place. read more

WOW! This place is definitely worth 5 stars!! Was craving Mexican & opened up Yelp and came across this place. I got the enchiladas with rice and black beans. I don't even like beans! Flavors all the way through! Customer service 5 stars!! I already sent to my friends (I finished eating 30 minutes ago). My new go to spot! I'm ready to tour the menu. read more

Absolute 5 star place! Service was great and friendly! The menu is burnt into wood and it's done so well I've never seen that before. The guac was such a large portion with hot chips! We also got the chicken tinga tostadas which were stacked high and tasty. The real star of the show were the incredibly flavorful tacos we tried 4 different ones and each one was amazing! My order of favorites: Steak, chorizo, pork, and then shrimp Couldn't imagine a better experience all around! read more

Not SUPER vegetarian friendly but a really cute spot with good service. Everything is super fresh and authentic but lacked salt in most dishes for me. Mushroom & Peppers Taco: 7/10 Elotes (corn): 6/10 Oxaca Cheese Quesadilla: 5/10 (too oily and bland for me) Ps: they serve lil complimentary chicken tostadas and my friend who eats meat said it was the best item there read more

This place was recommended by a co-worker who also lives in the area. And honestly, at first I kind of ignored the recommendation for awhile because one, we have quite a few taco places in the area and two, I didn't really trust the source. Glad to say I was wrong on all fronts. This was such a nice surprise. I feel like taco places are usually either in little grocery stores/trucks/gas stations, or extremely up-scale, boogie, pretentious restaurants where it's $7 a taco. I'm glad to report that this has the perfect feel for a taco restaurant. Classy, clean, high-quality restaurant feel, without crossing the line of being pretentious. And to anyone who knows me well, knows I'm a huge sucker for sauces and spice so when I saw the trio of sauces coming towards the table after we sat down, I was a happy camper. And then after ordering our tacos (pork, steak and birria) we each received a small free chicken tostada. Such a nice touch and honestly what pushed this from a 4 to a 5. I love the confidence in the place. "You already ordered? Well, here's a little app to get you started, on the house that you're going to like." As someone mentioned already, they pack these little suckers with meat. No skimpy tacos here. All of them were great, but I really enjoyed the steak the best. read more

Just wow!! Best tacos I've had in a while. My favorites were the rib and shrimp tacos- they are a must try!! We did have to send a few tacos back due to an allergy that we had notified them of prior to ordering, so service could've definitely been a bit better but the food was really too good. Horchata was very tasty as well, I'll be back very soon! read more

Taqueria Catrina's is a really sweet neighborhood spot with genuinely friendly people. Everyone we interacted with was kind and welcoming, and the whole place has a relaxed, comfortable vibe. The complimentary tostadas were a thoughtful touch and really delicious while we waited. The tacos were super flavorful and every bite had a punch of flavor. The guacamole was fresh but a little salty for my taste and a bit on the expensive side. Service was pretty slow during our visit, so it may not be the best place if you're in a rush. Still, the staff stayed warm and positive the whole time. Overall a nice local spot with good food and kind people. Get there early, limited seating but they made it work! read more

Great ambiance. But the service was terrible. I had made reservations for 12 and they were like "we didn't receive anything" and then I showed my confirmation. But they're yet to make our table. We asked them several times and eventually they did. Our server was also very rude and wasn't even trying to serve us properly, multiple times we asked for water and bowls for appetizers. It took a long time to get those to our table. there was an older lady who was kind enough to help us out. She was very polite and friendly. I would say food was ok. I've had better birria and consume from other taquerias. I don't know whether they were still new. But it seemed like only one person cared enough to help us. read more

This has become my new go-to local Mexican spot. The food is authentic and so delicious. The restaurant itself has the cutest decor and is so clean!

Already looking forward to coming back next week to try other food! read more

This is upscale quality food in a strip mall parking lot. The chicken Tinga tostadas had my abuelita's spices, on a tostada with an unreal level of crispy. The quality of service and the profile of spices makes me feel like I'm stealing. I'd put this up against any upscale Dallas restaurant. I also love the quirky Catarina figurines strewn throughout. read more

This place was divine! From the Dia de Los Muertos decor to the friendliness of the staff to the cooking show on the wall to the amazing horchata and food, I highly recommend this place! My kids got the quesadilla and taco with beef head (which is just small sliced beef). My husband got the chicken enchilada and I got the birria tacos. They were so delicious! And the way the enchilada was decorated, with pickles on top and cilantro, I think it was a professional chef in the back. You can tell they put so much pride into their food and decor! I love this place and would gladly go back! read more

Had such a great dinner at Taqueria Catrinas! The inside of the restaurant is super cozy, and our waitress was so bubbly and sweet. She even brought my friend and me complimentary tostadas and they were delicious! I ordered the beef tacos and omg... they were loaded. Seriously felt like each one had the protein of three mini tacos. We finished with churros and ice cream, also so yummy read more

We noticed a taco spot nearby our church one day and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is small with limited seating, but the vibe is clean and modern, definitely not your typical taco small shop. What really stood out was the customer service. The staff was extremely kind and accommodating, which made the experience pleasant from the start. Food: Bistek Tacos (5/10): These tasted like steak tacos I could easily make at home - my wife even agreed too. The steak portions were generous, but the large cuts made it harder to get that seared, charred flavor I was hoping for. Chopping the meat finer would have gone a long way. Adobada Piña Asada (4/10): I love a good pastor taco, but this missed the mark. It lacked seasoning and sear, and the two oversized pineapple chunks felt out of place. Instead of blending into every bite, the pineapple was gone in just a couple bites, leaving the taco unbalanced. Now I know this is a hot topic for some people, as they do not like pineapples on their pastor tacos but thats the traditional way of doing it. But this is just not the right way for me. Molcajete Taquero (6/10): A short rib taco that had more flavor than the others and was probably my favorite if I had to pick out of the 3. But the execution wasn't practical, it was basically an entire short rib inside a tortilla. Hard to eat, and it would've worked much better if the meat had been cut up. Horchata (9/10): The star of the show! Perfectly balanced, smooth, and not overly sweet. I'd come back just for this. Highly recommend for a hot summer day. The salsas.... if you know my reviews, then you know I like a good kick. The salsas here were not it! It was very low-mid and a bit watery to me. This did not help enhance the tacos at all. Overall: 5/10 based on food alone. I get that presentation is a big part of dining these days, but I came in wanting authentic, flavorful tacos and this wasn't it. Prices are also on the higher side ($4-6 per taco), which makes it harder to justify. If you're looking for a semi-nice sit-down taco experience, this could work for you. But if you're craving true street tacos, you'd be better off at a food truck or gas station spot. read more

Came here with my bf and the decor so cute, the food is nicely plated and service is good. The food is good but there's something about the food that I think could be better... my main thing is the salsa is a bit sweet and mild. I prefer some fiery salsa so this wasn't for me. We got the birria tacos and I really enjoyed it! Rice and beans were good. They had complimentary chips and salsas which we enjoyed. I think this place is a solid 4/5 stars. read more

I was recommended by a friend to come here and let me tell you it did not disappoint. I got 4 tacos because I thought they were standard size but the protein giving was insanely generous.

This is a wonderful mom and pop shop. When you come in, you're warmly welcomed with awesome decorations and lovely staff. The guacamole is fantastic. I thought the flavor was perfect, no salt needed. And the portion is HUGE. Even with two people, there were a lot of leftovers. The owner Juan was really sweet and surprised us with complementary chicken tinga tostado. We ordered steak, shrimp, and adobe pork tacos. The flavor just blows you away but the adobe pork has something extra magical. The warm churros themselves came out extremely quick and were just perfect to eat with ice cream after a hearty meal. I cannot recommend this place enough. There's something really joyful about this place because you can just hear people break out in laughter after they start eating delicious food. read more

I wanted some tacos and saw Taqueria Catrinas favorable reviews so I made my way here. Cute spot with a decent amount of seating, I came in and was immediately greeted and given a couple menus to look over. I decided on the rib taco, adobo pork taco, an order of chicken flats with a guava Jarritos to drink. While waiting for my food, I was brought a free chicken toastada; I wasn't expecting the chicken to be cold but it was still tasty. All my food looked really good and nicely presented, I was excited to dig in. Adobo pork tacos was really good and packed, I was surprised it was so stuffed. The pineapple in the taco was nicely grilled adding the perfect sweetness and the red and green salsa that accompanied the tacos were mild but added a nice additional flavor. The rib taco which I was most excited about had the flavor but was a little tough, I don't think I'd get that one again. Now, the chicken flautas were the best I've ever had! I'm used to the chicken in flautas being super dry and bland but these were not at all and the crema, cotija cheese and lettuce added the perfect bite. I just wish they had a spicier salsa to go with them. The rice that came with the flautas were not good, it had no flavor and was kinda tough like it wasn't cooked long enough. I decided to order the flan which was different from what I'm used to but it was really good, had the texture of cheesecake which I could appreciate. Service was good, I'd recommend this cute little spot and I'll definitely be back. read more

Wife and I stopped in to try something new in the area. Boy oh boy was it phenomenal! We had the chicken enchiladas, must try. Rib, beef Birria, shrimp, and pork taco's. They were all amazing! My taste buds would say the shrimp had the most flavor but can't go wrong with any option. Service was great, both waitresses were attentive and super sweet. We can't wait to come back! read more

This yummy place is in a shopping strip. Don't let that fool you. They cook your food fresh to order in an open concept kitchen. I ordered three tacos to go, chicken short ribs and Al pastor. The staff is friendly and helpful. I got to sample chicken on a big round chip. Yummy. Everything was flavorful and served with sauces of different degrees of spice. I will be back and hope this cosy place is here to stay. read more

It serves delicious tacos. We had the birria. They bring a little duo of sauces to your table, which appeared to be homemade and they were very tasty.

We had four different types of tacos and all were delicious. The shrimp taco was fat with lots of beautifully cooked shrimp. The rib taco was interesting and delicious. The birria taco was thick with brisket and the au jus was fresh but a bit underseasoned. The pork taco was delicious with their pineapple salsa. Bean soup, refried black beans and refried rice was tasty. The place was clean, the waitress was efficient, and the decor was cheerful, read more

Amazing find! Worth the drive. The birria tacos are very good. Service was prompt and cordial.

Was I the area and this place caught my eye. So happy we tried out for the first time. The team was very hospitable and made us feel extremely welc9me from the moment we walked in. The place had a cool laid back vibe and we really enjoyed it. The food was great. Want to go back to try some of their other tacos and appetizers. Loved everything. The seasoning on each item was on point. Salt was on the table, both nothing need it; not even the chips! They lived up to their rating! read more

We ordered the guacamole and chips, enchiladas with rice and ranchero beans and five al pastor tacos. To drink we got the agua de pepino and agua de jamaica. This is a FAMILY OWNED SMALL BUSINESS! The guacamole and chips were really good, they don't salt the guac a lot because every table has their own salt shaker (with really good salt). The chips were thin and perfectly crispy. The enchiladas were DELICIOUS! They shred the chicken and mix it with what I'm assuming is cilantro but I could be wrong, it just wasn't plain chicken which I appreciated. The green sauce was so good too. The rice wasn't dry and had a good flavor, and the ranchero beans were so GOOD!! Highly recommend this meal! Unfortunately the al pastor taco meat was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor, so I'd pass on this. The tortillas are hand made but I didn't taste anything special. I only had one of these tacos and had to force myself to finish it because of how dry it was even with lime. Pass The agua de pepino (cucumber) and agua de jamaica were so GOOD I cannot recommend the jamaica enough. They use real juice from the fruit here and it was so refreshing and tasty. Overall this spot is very clean and decorated nicely! Come out and support this family owned business! read more

I've been on a mission to try every kind of taco in the area so when I heard about Taqueria Catrina's, I bookmarked it right away. On a nice Saturday afternoon we took a drive down to Carrollton to check it out. We were starving! We kicked things off with aqua de pepino, a super refreshing cucumber juice that you HAVE to try! Then came the guac- it was so fresh and a massive portion. It was served in this cool Mexican clay bowl that made it look even better, and trust me, there was way more guac in there than it seemed at first. For tacos, we went all in - costillas, chorizo, mushroom, shrimp, and cabeza. They were all solid, but the chorizo one wasn't really my thing. We also got the chicken enchiladas Verdes, which were also good. They came with rice and a side of Charro beans that were so Smokey and delicious. The beans were my favorite thing next to the guac. I could eat a whole bowl of those. The servers were super friendly and took care of everything, even packing up our leftovers. Later that night, we finished off the rest of the guac and chips. All three salsas were on point. It's a small taco shop, but the flavors are huge. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Really disappointed in this place and the reviewers before. Let's start with service, the waitress we got didn't care to be there, gave no recommendations or explained anything in the menu. Willing to look past this, thought the food would be amazing but....I ordered tacos which given the place and reviews would've been smart. The birria was the only piece of meat that was seasoned. The Al Pastor was flavorless if not for the pineapple. The carne asada meat was bland, not even salted appropriately. We also got the arancherra plate and that was even poorly seasoned than the asada. The torta was poorly put together and the enchiladas were bland. The salsas are nothing, smokey flavor with no taste or spice. Please use salt, some marinades. Food WAS hot in temp for sure and LOOKED good but I was let down in flavor. Place was busy so maybe they just forgot to use and seasoning on our plates? read more

Amazing place. I was very pleasantly surprised by how delicious the tacos were. I had the steak, pork and chorizo tacos and a mangonada as well. The beef tacos were amazing. The salsa paired well with the toppings and the meat was tender and juicy. 9/10 The pork adobo was also quite delicious. Fatty and juicy with the like. 8/10. I wasn't a fan of the chorizo but I'm excited to try more items on the menu when I return. read more
