Catrinas Mexican Grill & Bar in New York

"The summary nails it. Prices are a tad high for what you expect to pay for Mexican food, (fresh guacamole is $15.) but 3 of us had an appetizer, 3 entrees, and 3 desserts for $130 including tip, and that seemed very reasonable considering how good the food was, and generous the portions were. We also noticed quite a few menu items you don't typically see at most other Mexican places, so now I have many reasons to visit again. The spinach dip was different, but very good. The chips come with salsa and slaw (I loved it.) The quesadilla is enormous. They have a steak fries appetizer I can't wait to try next. So, I look forward to my next visit, and I hope they stick around for a long time. Don't hesitate - check them out."

"This place was awesome. The food was delicious with oversized portions, great margaritas, prompt service, and the atmosphere was A+. The interior is unrecognizable from the former restaurant. It’s clean, modern, and rich looking. We will definitely be frequenting this spot."

"We stopped in for lunch before a grocery shopping trip. What a wonderful addition to the area. The quality, value, and presentation of the food was excellent. I love that the salsa was given in a carafe with mini bowls so we didn't have to dip into the same bowl. The margaritas were delicious as well."

"Taco fish tastes great with nice presentation. I like their hot sauce. Corn chips are so so. Food delivers quickly. Table for the circular booth seems small. 2/22/2026 update: fish taco remains delicious. Carne asada is OK. Homemade hot sauce tastes great."

"We will be returning!!! The warning is they are still waiting on a liquor license approval and there’s a sign on the door saying such. We almost turned around too but I’m so glad we didn’t. The tacos were amazing, I cannot wait to go back and try more. I did get a picture of our dessert (after a few bites) the caramel churros. They were so good. Fair price for everything and we both left absolutely stuffed. I’m so glad we stopped by."

"This is our first time here. The place.looked great and had a festive vibe. The server was attentive and the food tasted great. They have huge portions and presentation. Make sure you order the homemade hot sauce."

"Decided to go for dinner. Ordered margaritas. Tacos and steak fajitas. Beware the spicy cucumber margarita is all booze. My wife didn’t like the drink and our waiter happily exchanged it for a house Margarita. Service was great atmosphere was good. Good food. We will try it again!"

"This was my first time having Mexican cuisine. My daughter insisted and I couldn't be any happier. The service was excellent the server was very nice. I got the dish that comes in the lava bowl and it was absolutely delicious. The chips n salsa the beans and rice all were very good food was hot came out quick. Will definitely be a go to place now that the barrier is broken for Mexican food. Thank you"
