La Catrina - Saint Louis

Great food and a lovely outdoor atmosphere. However, I would never dine here after the service my 77 year old grandma and I received. Believe me, for me to write a poor review you would of had to do something egregious. With it being our first time, I was captivated by the rooftop patio setting. We decided to sit up there and the hostess let us know our male server will be up shortly.Our server is a shorter guy, nothing wrong with that. However, he was rude from the start. We never knew his name, and there was no effort to be kind. I do not know if he was even a server or a cook. He repetitively asked us what we wanted to drink in an attempt to rush us. Drinks, drinks? I get it, he was upset we were the only people up there (which there was one other guy, but I guess he left by the time we got up there). I could tell in his tone of voice he never wanted to deal with us. Just say the upper patio is closed, that 's all.He brings our pre-made margarita mix drinks rather quickly. For some reason he puts my grandmother 's drink across the table away from her instead of anywhere near her. His tone of voice and body language was rude again when it came to asked for our food orders. I let him know we would like the double fajita skillet (I forgot the name, it comes with shrimp, chorizo, chicken, and steak for $31). The paradilla skillet I believe.It came out within under 10 minutes, which was quite impressive. Great portions and well-made. However, our server 's attitude made us feel like we did not belong there. He brought up a to-go box to us without us asking, and rushed us in regards to the tab (check). Ready to pay, ready to pay? We had to scramble up with a credit card in the middle of eating which is rude.The person who came up with the check was not even him, yet it was the hostess as he sensed how upset we were with his service.As much as I liked the food, I would absolutely never come back here because the hospitality is horrendous. The lime margaritas are also pre-mixed as you can tell by the color and flavor (if you like that).

The service and food were truly exceptional, and I can't overlook how clean the restaurant was. I absolutely loved it!

Wow! The steak tacos are amazing! They are incredibly delicious! Normally, I would go for the fish tacos, but I gave the steak tacos a shot, and I was blown away! I guarantee you won't be let down! Absolutely delicious!

This is a fantastic local Mexican restaurant. It features a lovely shaded patio that's perfect for most seasons. The margaritas are excellent, the salsa is delicious, and the food is great overall. It's an enjoyable spot, whether you're looking for a quick bite or a leisurely lunch.

Perfect patio!!! Food is consistent and hits the spot every time (take out is good too! , the margs are delicious, staff is kind and attentive, and everything is reasonably priced. A classic S. Hampton joint.
