Catrinas Express — Restaurant in Peoria

We just recently tried Catrinas for the first time and I think I might have to say that this might be my favorite place to go for Mexican food! The food tastes close to Tequila's but it definitely tastes more authentic here! I had the Arroz con pollo and it was just absolutely wonderful. I love how you place your order and then you sit down and they bring the food to you and it was rather quickly I might add. And the fact that it felt like a complete restaurant meal with the fast-food feel was pretty cool. The meal does not come with chips and salsa but it they don't cost a lot so you should go ahead and get em! Afterwards I was talking about the restaurant to someone else and they were raving about the guacamole so maybe you should try that too! They do have limited hours so make sure you pay attention to that window when you're planning on visiting this restaurant! They were definitely starting to get busy (as we arrived before the lunch time) lots of groups of people started walking in, mainly people who work downtown. The restaurant did not get food while we were there but if it does they're just happen to be more seating if you go down the hallway which I included in my pictures. I was actually off of work the day that I went here so since their hours are limited I'm hoping able to visit this place again soon because it was...

Had Catrina's Express for the first time tonight on the recommendation of my brother and nephew (who have already become regulars there apparently)...this place is 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯..

I was struck immediately upon walking in. It is so super clean and very nice....I couldn't believe it!!! I had a very good feeling right then it was going to be a great experience and it definitely was! They were extremely kind and welcoming and really seemed to appreciate the business. The food was so fresh it was crazy!!! The salsa blew me away....it was outstanding! The Catrina's Steak Burrito was delish and the refried beans were perfect. I have to say this is the top Mexican restaurant in Illinois south of Chicagoland as far as taste and freshness...and would give them up north a real run for their money!!! This absolutely sets the new standard for Mexican food in the area. Final thought: I will be back tomorrow to try some tacos. Not even kidding. Thanks...

I visited Catrina’s Express in Peoria yesterday and was seriously impressed. The food was amazing — I had the steak nachos and steak tacos, and both were full of flavor and perfectly cooked. They also serve free chips and salsa, which were fresh and delicious.

There was a small miscommunication with my order, but the service was above and beyond. When I came back to clear it up, the man working was incredibly kind and understanding. He even gave me free rice and beans, which I had originally thought came with my order. That kind of care really stood out to me.

I’ve been in the service industry for over 12 years, and it’s rare to come across service that feels both genuine and generous. Great food, great people — I will definitely be back....
