La Catrina Tequila & Tacos — Restaurant in Aurora

We saw this place on TikTok and decided to give it a try and left disappointed.

Food overall was mediocre and lacked flavor. We had the chile rellenos, tilapia fillet, and fajitas supreme. The chile relleno and tilapia lacked flavor and left more to be desired. The beans and rice were tasty but still not the star of the dishes we ordered. The handmade tortillas were also good but again not the main dish you are paying for. The tilapia on the menu states it comes with beans and rice. However when the order was brought to the table only rice was provided. We asked the waiter and he stated it no longer comes with beans even though the menu still reflects this and we were not informed of this upon ordering. Also asked for limes or lemons for the fish and we were charged an additional $1.50. Annoying but whatever. The pricey fajitas supreme was more full of veggies than steak and the flavor wasn’t anything to rave about. This was very disappointing for the price and left you wanting something more. The best part of our meal was the free chips and salsa.

As for the drinks we had a watermelon margarita, piña colada, and ice tea. The watermelon margarita was fantastic and strong. The Pina Colada tasted like a margarita trying to be a pina colada. The ice tea was good our only complaint is my husband was given a small glass and continually had to request refills so he asked the waiter if he could just have a bigger glass. At first he was told they do not have bigger glasses. Then the waiter returned and said he was mistaken and they do have bigger glasses but his boss said he would have to charge my husband for using a bigger glass…. Thought this was strange. What is the difference from refilling a small glass constantly vs providing a bigger glass with less refill needs??

Our bill was $150 for food that was not that great and we are glad we read the bill because not once did anyone mention a 30% automatic gratuity charge was being by added to a party of 3? We also did not notice this being...

I saw some of the reviews about the service here and decided to give them a shot because it looks like such a cool place. Unfortunately, our party also had a bad experience.

First, there are no margaritas listed on the drink menu so when we asked about them the waitress gave us flavor options and pointed to the special drink menu (again, no price, see photo). So we get two watermelon mango margaritas and they come in MASSIVE glasses while a regular mango margarita came in a smaller glass. No warning about the size, and no explanation. Well, turns out the watermelon mango margaritas were $40 each which we only saw on the bill at the end. When we brought this up to the waitress she immediately blamed us for not asking the price when she brought the drinks out. It took forever to get the checks sorted out. The whole ordeal felt shady.

It's sad because it would have been a nice experience if they would have been upfront with the price of items or warned us but nothing was ever said. I saw 3 different sizes of margs be delivered to tables so who knows what you'll get.

Oh and they add on 30% gratuity automatically which is insane and not stated anywhere on the menu.

And they play youtube videos with full nudity on the TVs with children in the restaurant.

Food was decent, but never got the guac we order several times. Don't go here, unless you want...

Unfortunately I'm changing my previous 5star review from 4months ago to 1star.

The place is beautifully decorated and every server is nice and welcoming. However, around 2 days ago I decided to take a few family members over so they could have an awesome experience.

Sad to say I received a call from them that same night complaining about getting sick to their stomach as a result of their food. While we were eating our food they did mention that the green enchiladas tasted a little sour but thought nothing to it since hey..."maybe it's the way they cook at this place"...without realizing the true outcome.

I am not a cook. But my take is if you are...shouldn't you be able to distinguish between cooking fresh non harmful food or ingredients versus bad expired ones???

Luckily I didn't have the same plate they got so I was ok... but it was so embarrassing to know that I took them there for their 1st time and they got sick.

I sadly will need to warn anybody who orders green enchiladas...or who knows maybe the sour cream they used that day was the culprit.

I would suggest reevaluating their cooking staff.

As for me, it's a true disappointment and will totally not go...
