“ The food was so delicious! We got the house salad with no protein, al pastor sopes, and mole enchiladas. They had so many options and a wide variety of Jarritos. We will be back. Thanks! ”
“ If you're looking for a taste of real Mexico in South Jersey, La Catrina is an absolute must-visit! This place is a family-owned. La Catrina offers authentic dishes from both Mexico City and Puebla, prepared with fresh ingredients. I particularly loved the Papas a la Katrina. The flavors were incredible! The service was great. Fantastic spot for a delicious and authentic Mexican meal, with a warm atmosphere and friendly service to match. ”
“ Great Mexican food at La Catrina in Collingswood. The "lava bowl" (I can't pronounce the real name - molecajete?) Was so loaded with meats! All the food was great, ribeye, burrito, pizza special, and churros! ”
“ The best Mexican food I’ve had in a really long time and outstanding service. The Margarita mix was made with fresh mangos and strawberries and absolutely delicious. Not too sweet. The shrimp empanadas were my favorite item we ordered all night. Usually empanadas are doughy. Not these. Light, crispy and delicious. We also ordered a burrito and nachos. All outstanding. So happy they came to Collingswood. ”
“ La Catrina in Collingswood. Meaning, La Catrina is a central symbol of the Day of the Dead in Mexican culture, representing the cycle of life and death. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Decorations reminded me of the Grateful Dead. Loved it! Service was good and food was great Che k it out. ”
“ My husband and I moved from Long Beach, California where Mexican food is extremely authentic. Since moving to New Jersey, it has been tremendously difficult for us to find a Mexican restaurant that resembles any authentic Mexican food. We find that many Mexican restaurants in the area are bland or Americanized. Since we discovered La Catrina, we have been IN LOVE! Food is so delicious, representation is amazing, staff is very friendly and courteous. The atmosphere is family friendly and the food is good for kids as well! My 2 and 4 year old love coming here. We love coming here on the weekends and trying their new specials of the day, we have never been disappointed! We had lobster enchiladas and wet burritos as shown in the pictures and we were impressed. Feels good to have found a place that remind us of home. ”
“ Super cozy, authentic & delicious, great service, lovely atmosphere and music just really great, ”
“ This is the absolute best Mexican in the area! Authentic, flavorful, and affordable, give this place a try and you will keep coming back again. Kim the server is so sweet and attentive. Every time I come here I think of how it is a hidden gem because it is never too crowded and the food is 100x better than the more popular Mexican restaurant down the street! La Catrina is our go to and we are never disappointed with their food/service. ”
