I tried one of each of the tacos, I could decide I liked best! There were all so amazing. They came with 4 dips but didn't even need it. The bartender and staff were very personable and friendly. Great selection of cocktails. Beautiful roof top with shaded and sunny areas with mist to keep you cool.

I really liked the ambience of La Catrina's roof deck setup especially during sunset. Their foods were fantastic and this Margarita is the best in town. Kudos to their chef for a good presentation. Glad to met their friendly servers as well!

The food was amazing. You need about 6-7 tacos for supper but totally worth it. Very authentic and tasty!!! Food is 10/10. The only thing better than the food was the staff. They were super friendly, and accommodating of our massive unexpected table of 15. They went far above and beyond. There was a minor mixup in the order and they made everything right at lightning speed and didn't charge us for a mistake. Which meant an extra taco for us. It is an outdoor rooftop eatery so be prepared for wild weather at times. A massive rainstorm hit. But the staff kept serving and giving their all despite being drenched! Definite recommend if you haven't already!

Went on a Saturday afternoon for a quick bite (was not the case). Our server did try her best.. I felt kind of bad as she was not getting any support from the manager who was drinking and eating whislt giving away tacos at random to guests. Not a germ phobe but seemed weird to have multiple people grabbing food from the same plate. Drinks were good food was lacking. Had a Birra taco that came out cold and the tortilla dripping in oil (not consomme, just oil).

They were a man down and still killed it! Positive atmosphere, good tunes, great tacos and a view. Definitely the best establishment I've been to in PG so far. PG salt Bae is dope, Mateo worked his a$$ off and they BBQ the meat.

It is incredible to have this authentic Mexican's food restaurant in Prince George. Highly recommended. Great quality food inspired in Juan Pablo (owner) grandma's traditional recipes. Good cocktails, reasonable prices, great customer service; and the music and the rooftop patio decoration and views create an amazing vibe.

Had such a blast at La Catrina tonight! Some awesome drinks and tacos! Had all the meat tacos and they were bomb! Chorizo was my favourite I ended up ordering two more lol. 🍻🍻

Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu; overall service was great even being short staffed. The food was way more authentic than what I have seen in Prince George for Mexican food. Everything was fresh and clearly made in house. We tried all of the tacos and they were all fabulous. A couple of people cannot handle spice at all so found the spice on the chicken tacos to be a bit spicy but the general flavor was great. Drinks were also fantastic, a lot of us tried their specialty cocktails including the Smoked Rosemary Paloma and Carajillo. The ambiance of the rooftop patio is perfect for the summer!

The drinks were great. Tacos shells were dripping in fat. I know they generally dip them in a sauce or fat but the whole shell seemed a bit much.

More like a Bar not very family-friendly, birria tacos are ok, chorizo not that tasty and the shrimp taco comes with 2 shrimps for 5 dollars

Ok folks, here we go. First off, the food? Gorgeous. Superb. Prospective customers should note that this isnt your stereotypical taco-bell mexican, okay? This stuff has some class, and that *does* feature in the price. Know ahead of time that the portion sizes are small, also the nachos arent what youre used to from a boston pizza or something. I loved them, they were awesome, but dont expect super salty taco chips swimming in cheddar. All around, the food was fantastic! Atmosphere - this place has such a vibe. Super layed-back and summery, and the music was the cherry on tip. But the *service,* oh man, thats what impressed me. Maybe the best Ive ever had at a restaurant. Every staff member was super friendly, genuine, and down to Earth. I came with a very large group, and the staff was so accommodating. The kicker, though, was when it started pouring rain. I dont know what to say other than above and beyond the call of duty. I mean, I guess its to be expected when you work at a rooftop restaurant, but still, I was very impressed. Final verdict: delightful! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian taco, Nacho, Salad, and entrée options.

The food is amazing, but the customer service is next level. There is this younger bartender named Cam, and his attention is unreal. Go eat here, and enjoy feeling like you matter.
