Catrinas Tacos and Tequila Bar

Adorable little west Tampa gem. The food was delicious and fresh. Definitely authentic Mexican food. Will definitely be back! 💙

Nice small spot! Good atmosphere, i had chicken and a carnitas tacos they were Excellent!! Well seasoned by Chef T A++

This place is amazing! I completely recommend this place.The food was great. Also,they cook in an open kitchen,so you can watch them prepare the food.A nice place to go for all ages.

After eating at a couple of subpar restaurants in the area, I went to Catrinas. It’s semi small place, but super cute & fun
& I must say it was the BEST food I had in days! Everything in the restaurant is homemade, including their own hot sauce, it was tasty but too hot for my palate.
I got elote (mex st corn), ordered 1 & devoured it so had to get another! Chips & guac were fantastic
Also got chicken tamales w/side of rice & beans & 2 house made margaritas. Delicious!
Since the food was such great quality and so good, I ordered a steak quesadilla & flan to go!
I was so impressed with everything I’ll be making my way back soon!
The service was AMAZING & made me feel comfortable & like family! I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone. Children as well. Nice menu selection for the kiddos
Please check them out. Much love!

I decided to try Catrina, to celebrate día de Los muertos. As soon as I went inside the restaurant I noticed a beautiful altar with cempasúchil flowers. The food is really good, authentic Mexican food, I ordered the quesabirrias and they were good, my boyfriend ordered the enchiladas trio and it was REALLY good, everything tasted so fresh! If you decide to try this restaurant you need to try their house hot sauce “Cabrona”, absolutely delicious!! We ordered the tequila with cempasúchil flowers and the guava tequila…the guava tequila it’s a must have. For dessert we ordered the pumpkin tamal, we loved it! And I know you will love it too.

If you want to have great food, great atmosphere, and the best service, this is the place!!!! The camarones al ajillo 10 stars!!!

I’ve never had authentic Mexican in Tampa before and when I went to Mexico let’s face it I ate at tourist places (shame on me). But the food I had here is hard to describe. It was fresh, hot, juicy, flavorful and the meat was spiced perfectly. But, I can’t compare it to anything I’ve had before. I had something called the Quesabirria, which has ribeye, brisket, and rib meat. The texture was shredded (which did remind me of the meat I had in Mexico), but this was in a different world compared to what I ate there. Again, I can’t compare it to anything I’ve had before. I just know I liked it. My sister says that I’m California this is a common type of taco that many people make. I don’t know about that I just know this was fantastic. I can’t wait to go back and try their tacos! I did ask about flour tortillas and the owner said that she only uses flour tortillas for burritos, quesadillas and fajitas ( I think) everything else is corn. I never eat corn tortillas but these were so good. They doubled it up (I guess with cheese in between?), then put the meat and more cheese in the taco itself with onions. It was great! You have to try this place.

My favorite Mexican restaurant in the region. Taco Tuesday promotion is outstanding. Tisbeth is an amazing person, talented artist and chef. Her special creations have been off the charts good. Her tequila dinners…just wow. T-1 tequilas are my new favorites for Blanco, Reposado, Ańejo en especially the Tears of Llorona extra ańejo.

Omg this places made my day while in Tampa! I love authentic food! Catrinas does not disappoint! Everything is clean and all the food is made to order! The Ambiance of the place is amazing!
Tamales chicken amazing,rice and beans great very fresh! Hibiscus drink very refreshing very flavorful not overly sweet! The pouches was margaritas! Try the house shots of tequila! Quesabrria is amazing the juice will have you doing the happy dance!

Best tacos we’ve ever had. Had them in LA, NYC, DC (where we’re from), and Phoenix (where my mom and sister live)—nothing compares. Totally freaking delicious. My Dad lives in St. Pete Beach, so whenever we fly into Tampa to see him in the future, this is a must-stop for us. Not even kidding. WOW. And the street corn. Omg. The Barbacoa, the shrimp, the Piccadillo, the chorizo—you can’t lose. Tostadas were also amazing! Such a cute vibe too. And nice lady!!! So friendly. Smells so good in there. Can’t wait to return.

You are greeted by the owner chef from the kitchen as you enter. You are not a stranger but a new friend. She is always cooking up something new and exciting. Full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Nothing out of a can or box in this place, only the freshest of ingredients. The bowl of guacamole is a must and try it topped off with grilled shrimp in a secret sauce. Street parking available or the parking area behind the building. Easy access, no
Stairs in a historic old bank building of west Tampa rich in history. Enjoy!

Stopped by for dinner and margaritas and fell in love with this place. Sit at the bar and enjoy high quality customer service with a view of all the action on the grill. The decor is so on brand here. Not only will you feel welcome by the staff but you’ll want to stay a little longer to enjoy the ambiance of the space. You’ll find a unique tequila selection, the best margarita in town (not too sweet with just the right amount of tequila) and delicious authentic food here. We tried the elote, quesabirra tacos, and the rajas sopes. Everything was excellent. Can’t wait to visit again to try the guacamole!

Seriously this place is amazing. The margaritas are unbelievable and I don't say that about anyone's but my own. The tacos... best tacos in Tampa hands down and we try A LOT of tacos. They are simple but the flavor their green sauce and meat brings is just on point.

The food was great. The strawberry margarita was refreshing. The owner very personable and nice. I will definitely be back for the enchiladas!

My first dinner outing since the pandemic. Had an amazing time. Try the margaritas! I went for taco Tuesday and was not disappointed. I had one steak taco and one chicken taco. The green sauce is the way to go. Tart and has a real kick! The tacos were on the smaller side, but made up for it with amazing flavors and still filled me up. The chips and salsa was savory and did a salsa dance across my tongue. The service was polite and friendly. Everything was at expectations; I cant wait to try the rest of the menu. You can't light up inside, but you can smoke outside, which is nice.

The food and drinks were so good I almost ate my napkins!

It was a little bitter sweet just due to growing up with it use to be the 4th of July cafe.. but this place was yummy.. I will be back..

Can't believe I didn't know about this amazing place, saw it waiting at a red light heading to my other Mexican hot spot. I did a u-turn next block and came right in. You're greeted immediately and advised to place an order at the bar when ready, which was nice to know as it was my first time here. I ordered enchiladas and my daughter ordered Quesabirria....the food was delicious the atmosphere is nice and chic and the decor definitely embraced my Mexican culture. I love the Mexicali vibe!!

The quesabirria taco is everything that everyone raves about. Delicious! This restaurant is stunning. The art work is amazing. You don’t know where to look. The owner is a renaissance woman. She cooks, she’s an artist. Absolutely amazing. This is definitely a gem spot in Tampa.

Hidden gem. Everything was great. Plenty of food for the price. Quality stuff. Quesabirria tacos were tasty.
