Customer Reviews

Very cute and cozy restaurant! A lot of thought and creativity was put into the building. The staff is very nice and patient. Food was tasty but also little more pricy than other Mexican restaurants I've been to. I ordered the chipotle enchiladas and they were good but needed more sauce. One kid ordered chicken wings from the appetizer menu and she said they were good (only sauce is ranch and bbq). Second kid ordered the steak cheese and rice and he said it was the best dish he has ever got at a Mexican restaurant. Husband ordered the andale mi reyna and it was okay but not what he was expecting.

Best Mexican food in the keweenaw! We are from out of town and found this place by accident after we went to a couple others were closed on a Sunday. It appears to be very new. The interior was very lively, decorated really cool and bright. The service was top-notch, but nothing was as good as the food. Everything we got delicious and well prepared. We will certainly come back here for all our Mexican food cravings!

We stopped by a little later than we normally eat dinner, so we were not starving, but the 3 of us ordered the La Parrillada, the fajita with all the meats- and it was enough for 4 people easily!! Very delicious and filling!! Delivered fast. The strawberry margarita was excellent too! Sorry, I drank it to fast and didn't get a picture! Definitely will come back when we are back this way!

If you're in the Houghton/Hancock/ Keweenaw area La Catrina is a must-do, especially for lunch. On our most recent visit my wife, son, and I took advantage of inexpensive lunch specials, regular menu items, and beer menu. The total, including a generous tip for good service, was $40. The portions are generous, even on the $6 lunch special. I only ate half, so I actually got two meals for $6 - one Value Meal at Burger King costs way more that that! The portions are also flavorful, food is delivered quickly, and the ambiance is wonderful. You really should go.

This was our first time here, and our hosts had been here once before and highly recommended it. We were not disappointed. The whole restaurant was clean and inviting, the food was hot and delicious. The guac is the good stuff, freshly made with bits of onion and tomato, and not like the smooth versions that are blended with sour cream to stretch profits; no sir! The Molcajete is stunning and delicious. Servers were friendly, quick and helpful. This is a pretty new restaurant, and they're doing a good job, so support them too!
