Handmade tortillas, smoky salsas, and margaritas crafted with intention. La Catrina Cantina is where every bite tells a story and every night feels like a celebration.
La Catrina Cantina was born from a simple belief: the best meals happen when good food, bold flavors, and warm company come together. We opened our doors on 65th Place with one mission — to bring the real taste of Mexico to Queens.
Every tortilla is pressed by hand. Every salsa is made from scratch. Our recipes trace back to family kitchens across Oaxaca, Jalisco, and the coast — passed down, perfected, and served with pride every single night.
Whether you're joining us for a quick lunch, a Friday night with friends, or a Sunday family dinner, you'll find the same commitment to flavor and hospitality that defines us from day one.
From the kitchen to your table — see what makes every visit memorable.
"The al pastor here is unmatched in Queens. Every time I come in, it tastes exactly as good as the first visit. That's rare."
"We brought our family here for Sunday dinner and everyone from the kids to my abuela loved it. The mole is something special — you can taste the effort in every spoonful."
"Best margaritas in the area, hands down. The spicy mango is my go-to, and the atmosphere is always lively without being loud. This is our spot."
Walk in, call ahead, or reserve your table. We save the best seats for people who know good food when they find it.
We're easy to find and always ready to welcome you. Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are recommended for parties of five or more.
