Catrina Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in Columbus

We were in the area and needed to stay close or we probably wouldn’t have went into this restaurant purely bc the outside isn’t very inviting. However, we did end up eating here and the food was authentic, tasty and very fresh ingredients were used. Our waiter was kind as was the cashier. The inside was clean (including the bathrooms!) and I would eat there again (probably soon). My only concern was there are no prices on the menu at all, I didn’t like that personally.

Mexican food is my go to constantly and if you can relate and want to enjoy good, quality food, this is your place. I was thrilled to learn there was a new Mexican restaurant near my area as I feel like they aren’t any good options. Luckily not anymore!
