Great, authentic Mexican food, like when I lived in CA. To save time, we did takeout and am very happy with all the “extras” added to the bag. What a great value!
We’ve dined in, more than we do takeout and the atmosphere is fun, comfortably cozy. This is my GO TO Mexican restaurant in the greater Portsmouth area!

We enjoyed our anniversary dinner. I had a Mango Tango and my husband had a Bahama Mama. We both enjoyed our drinks. Our dinners were delicious and had plenty for leftovers!!

I’m sad. Ordered steak Burrito Colorado. It had only steak in it, no sauce, and the steak was rubbery. This place is not worth even whispering the name of. Stale chips.

It’s difficult to find good Mexican food in the northeast, even more so outside of Boston, but La Catrina is actually worth visiting! It’s a small thing but the Tortilla chips were so addictively good that they threatened to fill us up before our entrees arrived, very crunchy, and the guacamole was abundant and well made. We both got fajitas and found the portion sizes impressive, I don’t think you’ll be leaving hungry at all.
My two minor complaints are that the table we sat on was somewhat too small to fit all of the food, I was putting my drink cup on the window sill to keep it from getting knocked over. The last complaint is that as a Mexican restaurant, I personally feel that you should carry a very spicy hot sauce to delight and humble your patrons. All you would need to do is print out a generic waiver to protect yourself from any liability for them to sign.
Those are very minor and somewhat picky gripes on our part, we’d love to come back.

Love this place! I try to go here alot because you always know what to expect. The only issue is parking but other than that, its the best!

If I could I’d exclusively eat their chorizo tacos, burrito cochinita pibil and the pineapple fajitas on rotation. Their enchiladas are also delicious! If they offered the cochinita pibil pork as a taco meat I’d be in super heaven.
Their drinks are great and the bar/servers work incredibly hard. Watching them on a taco Tuesday or a Friday/Saturday night its crazy watching their rhythm.
Skinny marg and house marg are what we usually order but also they carry the guava Jarritos which is hard to find and is my favorite so big plus.
My only complaint is that the men’s bathroom always smells awful and I’ve been going here for 5 years.

La Catrina makes the best margaritas and the food is authentic and so good. This is our default eat out place and we love the staff and atmosphere.

Food is really good. Staff was off their game when we went for dinner Sunday night. Usually that’s not the case. We will definitely go again. Really good food, drinks & prices

The food was fantastic, well seasoned, and we’ll portioned. I was very impressed with the shrimp, as I don’t generally like shrimp but they were well cooked. Their veggies were a mix of peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms, and fresh spinach…a nice change from the standard with fajitas! I was able to choose two sides with my meal, and wasn’t forced into rice and beans. This place is keto friendly, and willing to make substitutions.

I have been here several times for lunch. The place is quiet and cozy, best for a small group. They make their food fresh and to order — delicious and not as salty as one often gets with Mexican food. Welcoming family-owned atmosphere and reasonable prices. Definitely my go-to place when I can get to Newmarket.
