★★★☆☆ 3.0 Helen Molina · Jan 2026

My friends and I visited the restaurant/lounge on Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. We arrived after 10 p.m. and went straight to the lounge. Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, the experience started off poorly. At the entrance, there was a female and male security guard. The female guard immediately had an attitude—using exaggerated hand gestures as if she couldn’t speak instead of simply asking for my ID. When she finally spoke, she rudely told me she needed to check my purse. There was no professionalism or courtesy. After passing security, we stopped briefly to take photos by the beautiful wall near the entrance. My friend had never been there before, and I had recommended the place. Instead of letting us enjoy the moment, the same guard gave us attitude again just fo

Headed there to check out bachata dancing on a Tuesday night. “Alert” for the ladies there were tons of a guys looking for dance partner, so I decided to skip the dancing and have three tacos instead. The special was $3 per taco, but they automatically include the tip so the total price was $11 and some change. I ordered the barbecoa (rich and tasty), Al pastor (moist and tender topped with chopped pineapple), and the carnitas (which was a little too dry for me). All were topped with diced onions and cilantro. The tacos were served with two sauces a mild and spicy one but did not include radishes or jalapeños. They were set atop what tasted like fresh tortillas unfortunately the tortillas were cold and not heated. Overall two out of the three were a treat, the other one not so much.

Great food & drinks! If you’re ever looking for an amazing happy hour spot this the place to be! Ask for Mabel she’s super sweet, makes great drinks ! & gives great customer service .

We had a large group of about 15 people, but unfortunately to serve it took 30+ mins for food and drinks and unfortunately they charged us for a drink that was given to someone without checking their ID and then took instead of letting the adults know and still charged us for it! They were willing to lose a group for one drink. customer service is subpar…. update: we went to the lounge and they wouldn’t let us sit in a booth and spend a combined amount of two hundred plus only if we bought a bottle and to sit in the regular tables you have to pay $100. Mind you it is a small place not a huge club. We left asap.

We had our 45th HS reunion at La Catrina last night. We were so busy mingling that I can't vouch for the food - but it is an excellent venue for something like that. They were easy to work with. The space is big and open, with just the right number of tables and seats. Great lighting; they even had lights pointing up the walls in our school colors. Just-right decor, and they let us hang some posters and balloons. A dance floor, stage, film screen and very nice DJ. A big bar. Really perfect for what we needed. We had just under 50 of us and it could've comfortably handled 3x that. But do be ready to leave by the cut-off time (I think 11) bc they crank the tunes way up and all the young folk start pouring in!
