    I absolutely love coming here! There are always good vibes and the atmosphere is comforting and enjoyful. Friendly interactions with the owner and takes care of you, making sure your visit is worth it. The food is authentic and most importantly has a vegetarian option, which is something I personally seek out when venturing to places. 10 out of 10 recommend to visitors and locals. If you never experienced the food your missing out. Not to mention best margaritas in town!

    Owner Operated local taste of Tampa. The food is authentically Mexican with Tisbeth’s family recipes. The vibe of Catrina’s is warm @& welcoming, with the original tile, architecture and even vault room in this original State Bank building. An outdoor patio is sure to welcome music & dancing this summer. Let’s all help this gem flourish. Support Local Tampa!
