They have menudo daily. The beverages are free refills. They have a very tasty salsa bar and serve yourself chips. Very nice atmosphere and delicious food.

Got Ceviche which was fresh and tasted great with lime juice but a bit salty for me. Next time I would order again but ask for no salt! Overall great 👍 if you want fresh shrimp

My new favorite Mexican restaurant! Try the complex and delicious pureed/smooth sauces: one is red (a bit spicy) and one is light green (the tiniest bit spicy). I bought a half pint of the light green avocado sauce to take home. It goes with everything- from my roast chicken to a pot of black beans.

Oh, Taqueria La Katrina looked fun, With colors and lights and a vibe in the sun. The walls were all bright, the space had some cheer, So I thought to myself, “Let’s go eat here!” I ordered a burrito, alambre plate too, Then waited… and waited… like statues would do. The man right behind me had one thing, not two — But somehow I left while he still had to queue. No smile at the counter, no “thank you,” no cheer, Just plopped down my bag and a blank little stare. No tray, just a thud, and I shuffled away, Already unsure if I wanted to stay. The burrito was salty — a briny surprise. It punched me with salt straight between both my eyes. The flavor was missing, the balance was gone, Like the lid on the shaker got stuck in the “on.” The alambre was next, and I hoped for a save, But it tast

S/o to the amazing cooks here. Loving the Ceviche on a hot summer day. Fresh and flavorful. I woke up at 10am and it sounded like a nice breakfast so I went for it. Now I have a new found respect for this establishment. Keep up the good work!
