La Katrina Mexican Kitchen

I love the art that they have around the inside! I tried the carne asada burrito and I really enjoyed it, the meat was perfect! The atmosphere is super chill vibes, I recommend eating inside because it feels cozy and comfortable! My wife had the crispy taco plate and she said this might be our new spot! Very friendly crew here, thank you!!

Great place. Ambiance is nice, fair number of tables (seating 2-4 per table). Salsa Bar is great, lots of salsa and toppings to select. Prices are average for the area, but good customer service and speed of orders help raise the experience.

We stopped here on our way back to LA and we loved it. The food was amazing. I recommend getting the torta regular. We also ordered tacos de pastor, chicken salad, and much more. Our server Marcos was super friendly and the rest of the staff too. Highly recommend to anyone stopping by or any locals.

First impression of the food was very good! The salsa at the bar was definitely on point very tasty 😋. I do however have some criticism when taking my order I wasn't given a receipt. At first I didn't believe to be a big deal until they gave me my order. I noticed I was missing 2 items. When I asked about these said items they said they would have them out. 10 minutes later I asked again. This time they asked what I had ordered and then came back 4 more times to ask what I had ordered. They then told me it wasn't on the ticket. I then said I paid for these items! Then they told me that the ticket must have ripped off in the printing process. They weren't nice about this and even interrupted me and walked away. When I finally received my entire order when I got home the burrito didn't have the 2 sauces I had asked for. I understand they haven't been open long and I do hope the service and confusion improve. The food here is good but also expensive restaurant prices. I would still recommend trying this place out just make sure you get that receipt and that your order is correct.

Two days after Thanksgiving (2022), my wife and I were walking to neighboring Avanti Pizzeria, wondering when the new Mexican restaurant would open. We were surprised to find it already open! La Katrina had a soft opening just that Monday. So we ate there instead. I had a combination plate with a pastor enchilada and a crispy shredded chicken taco ($16). My wife had regular nachos (no meat) for $11. They feature 12 kinds of meat, and you can get any of those in your enchilada, taco (crispy or soft) or tostada.

I loved the food, my taco reminded me of the favorite Mexican restaurant of my youth north of San Diego. Chips were sturdy and crispy.

Order at the register and you're given a number. I wasn't given a receipt and forgot to ask later. There is no acoustic damping on any of the walls, floor or ceiling, so it sounds echoing and noisy, even though we were the only guests at first. The decor features some beautiful murals that work well with the lighting. I felt it is attractive but not cozy.

No liquor license yet, but both previous establishments in this location were licensed, and I was told they hoped to have that by end of January (2023).
