La Catrina Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Collingswood

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...

I ordered take out , I had Al pastor tacos, carnitas tacos, birrria tacos , chicken tender and fries kids meal, churros and street corn. Everything was small portions . Sauce cups filled only half way, chicken tender platter was $7 and in a small styrofoam square container with only 2 chicken tenders. The street corn was 6.50 and it was a small container barely filled half way. The food flavor was not amazing. I wouldn’t plan on going back as I’ve had better tacos . I’ve like the Al pastor the best. Carnitas was ok too. But the birria tacos were off from what I’ve had before at other places. I did not like any of the sauces the red sauce had no spice at all. And the birria sauce...

Finally, an authentic and reasonably priced Mexican restaurant in Collingswood!

There is no dearth of excellent Mexican, Salvadorean, or other Hispanic/South American cuisine within a 30 minute drive of Collingswood, but this is the first local place that has made me feel that drive is no longer necessary.

Their horchata is authentic and delicious.

It's very difficult to find a place that serves cafe de olla. It's missing the stronger vanilla notes, and doesn't have that sweet molasses/clay pot taste - so I'd rate the cafe de olla a 3/5. Hope it improves.

All the dishes I've had were excellent. The La Catrina steak in particular is perfect.

Been here a half dozen...
