We have eaten Mexican food all over. Europe, Mexico and US, this was by far our favorite! From service, atmosphere to the truly amazing flavors! We just relocated to Cocoa Beach and are so excited we found such an amazing place that we can walk to! So happy we found this treasure.
I have never tasted Mexican food with this much flavor. I’ve never liked refried beans but I could not get enough.
La Catrina is the best on the beach! Not to be confused with La Cantina, this has real Mexican food and AWESOME margaritas! We had a party of 6 on a Saturday night and really enjoyed the patio! Thankful to finally have some great Mexican food close to home!

The Food Atmosphere our server my alcohol drink all was excellent. Loved our waiter. Teaching us words in Spanish was great. Great Time
Absolutely THE BEST authentic Mexican restaurant on the Barrier Islands. Their "Skinny Margarita" is the closest thing to Mescalito's (in Cozumel) that we've EVER tasted north of the border. 100% hand-squeezed fresh with NO SYRUPS or fake ingredients. Order with your choice of Tequilas from their extensive collection.
The food is authentic ... not that Tex-Mex caca found elsewhere. There's even a boat dock out-back (ssshhhhh ... don't tell anyone) so we can dine-by-boat.
What a great time with friends... the food was awesome, especially the guacamole and the mole' and it didn't kill the bank Definitely coming back and bring more friends . Yum
I only have amazing things to say about it here. I highly recommend!!! They give a large bowl of complimentary chips and salsa which are very good! Their sodas are a large which is nice! I got the chicken fajita quesadilla which was seasoned well and super fresh. My boyfriend got the chicken and steak fajitas, I tried some and that was the best steak I’ve ever had!!!! Large portions and so worth the price! The employees were very kind and our waiter was great. It’s also very nice to eat outside there. We got our food in less than 10 minutes! We live in PA but will definitely be back on our next vacation here :)
Best chips and salsa that I’ve had in a long time. I loved how fresh and rich taste of the salsa. The food was delicious. Every bite lead to more biting 😉. There’s outdoor and indoor seating, I sat indoor to getaway from the Florida humidity. Service was great. Definitely recommend this place if you’re craving Mexican cuisine.
Wow wow wow. I loved this place ! Food was amazing, stuffed! The guacamole had big chunks of guac, onions, & tomatoes. The salsa and chip are also homemade to perfection! The drinks were amazing, I had the frozen margarita lemon & then a pina colada had me wavyyyyyy! 😂 as I write this u already know I had a good time. They have an indoor & outdoor area, everything decorated with lots of details. It’s beautiful can’t wait to come back !
A great place for drinks especially if you are in a Mezcal mood. The guacamole was very delicious. The portion size is generous so bring your appetite. The pitchers of Pina coladas were sizable, tasty, and very shareable. Highly recommended plus the decor is entertaining.
Went last night for dinner and we can all say it was Amazing dinner and our waiter was fantastic he made sure everything was right and good service. Food was good and hot. We really enjoyed ourselves as we were celebrating our sisters birthday and it was our first time there, we will definitely be coming back! Thank you
Great place to dine in Cocoa Beach. They have an extensive menu. The food‘s delicious and comes in big servings! Servers are quick and attentive to customers’ needs. One problem - bathroom needs to be checked and cleaned!
First time here. The food was delicious. The frozen strawberry 🍓 margaritas 🍹 were amazing. My Mahi tacos had a sauce I didn't care for, but I was able to scrape it off. I turned out delicious. I definitely recommend this place.
This place served the best and most delicious Mexican food I have ever had. The artwork and decorations are vibrant and help generate an amazing atmosphere. My server was welcoming, helpful and polite. The space was clean and there are so many different options to choose from on the menu.
We arrived early for dinner and were sat outside. The table was practically in the way of all foot traffic coming into the restaurant, so it was a bit awkward. The service was fantastic, and the food was the best Mexican food I've ever had!
Food was Amazing! If you like true spicey salsa go here. So fresh!!!!
The Steak Fajita Nachos are so good here. Today we tried the Nachos Supreme with shredded chicken and beef on it. Unfortunately, it was a soggy mess. All of the beans and cheese were on the bottom layer. This is the first disappointing experience here. Service and atmosphere are great. Food is usually so delicious, so we will be back.
Food was great. Big fan of their chips and salsa. We judge server based off of how long our drinks sit empty. My husband’s drink sat empty for a while until he finally had to ask for a refill. No complaints with food. Would definitely go back.
This is the kind of old fashioned American Mexican restaurant that so many memories have been made in. It isn't fancy, and the menus are plastic, but it has all of the classics you're looking for and quite a few more.
Mexican music plays over the speakers under the grass roof of the porch, and a colorful outdoor bar really boosts the atmosphere. The servers all bustle around speaking Spanish and are attentive.
The drink menu is really extensive, but the "skinny margarita" is the way to go. It's a specialty that comes in two sizes, the larger one being really very large. It's skinny because it's mixed fresh instead of with the super-sweet corn syrup mix. It's close to authentic!
This place really is a party atmosphere on select evenings while being a peaceful lunch spot most days.
Visiting from out of state and needed a late night dinner, this place was amazing! Beer was a little flat but otherwise it was really delicious. Salsa was yummy and we both left full and satisfied.
First timers here...we ate inside although they do have patio seating. The atmosphere was fun and the music was prominent (but not too loud).
The chips were plentiful, thick, fresh and crunchy. The salsa was good.
Service was great and the pricing was fair.
I had the shrimp rice bowl, delicious! I will absolutely order it again. It has some greens (like a salad) in it which at first took me by surprise but I loved it.
My husband ate the blacken chicken salad and gave it an "okay but will probably try something different next time" rating.
The only major negative that I can comment on is the front entrance. I hope it was an anomaly but as you walk in, next to front door, you pass by a pit of trash/litter...disgusting. Not a good first impression at all.
But overall, I think it is one of the better Mexican restaurants in the area, so we will be back.
Fairly quiet during the airshow so we were seated and served quickly, but we have always had good food and good service here. Hot chips and salsa with a hotter salsa upon request, very tasty. I had a burrito especial and my wife had the taco salad. We took food home! Jaime was very polite and friendly. All of the staff were helpful and nice. We always enjoy ourselves here.
Great Mexican food! Huge inside plenty of seating. Nice atmosphere. One of the biggest menus I ever saw.
Probably the best authentic Mexican food anywhere on the coast. The service is fantastic and the food never takes long to arrive. I particularly love the atmosphere. Very colorful and fun!
This is my biggest pleasant surprise of the year, so far. The atmosphere, the menu, the wait staff are on point!
My wife had the tacos with rice and beans on the side, and it was AMAZING! (I tasted it when she wasn't looking!)
I had ceviche, and now I'm a believer. It was running over with flavor, each bite a fresh reminder that spring is coming! 🤟
I didn't get our waiter's name, but he was flawless. He ensured that my service dog was watered, before I could ask. We will request his assistance during future visits.
Team La Catrina, you folks rule!!
