La Catrina Tacos & Tequila
Welcome to La Catrina Tacos & Tequila, the vibrant culinary gem nestled in Jeffersonville, IN. Located at 125 W Chestnut St, La Catrina invites you on a flavorful journey through authentic Mexican cuisine. With a menu that seamlessly blends rich tradition and fresh ingredients, this restaurant is a must-visit for food enthusiasts and casual diners alike.
From the moment you step inside, the cozy atmosphere envelops you, creating the perfect backdrop for indulging in mouthwatering tacos and refreshing tequilas. My experience at La Catrina was nothing short of spectacular, highlighted by their renowned Alambre Carne Asada, featuring tender beef paired with smoky bacon, grilled onions, and a sprinkle of cilantro, all for just $5.50. Each bite was an explosion of flavor, showcasing the culinary craftsmanship of the kitchen.
Seafood lovers will delight in the Gobernador, a taco bursting with grilled shrimp, poblano, and roasted tomatillo crema. At only $5.75, it's a dish that transforms the simple taco into a culinary masterpiece. Not to be overlooked, the Mama Shrimp delivers a crispy, cervezabattered sensation with a refreshing herb lime rice accompaniment—a true celebration of coastal flavors.
Chicken options are equally enticing, with the Tinga featuring chipotle-braised chicken that dances with vivacious flavors, complemented by avocado salsa and queso fresco, all for just $5.25. Each dish reveals La Catrina's commitment to quality and authenticity, as echoed by satisfied patrons who cheerfully rave about the ambiance, service, and of course, the delicious food.
Customers have happily noted the extensive outdoor seating, perfect for those picturesque evenings. According to Luke Medley, La Catrina offers a cozy upstairs dining area, enhancing the charm of your dining experience. Moreover, you'll find it is conveniently located for anyone exploring the nearby Big Four Bridge—perfect for a post-walk meal!
As I reflect on my visit, I can’t help but agree with Evan Trosvik, who proclaimed, "Every dish is a masterpiece in flavor and presentation." The tamales left an indelible mark on my tastebuds, and I can confirm that the margaritas are equally stellar, steering clear of the overly sweet mixes found elsewhere.
In the words of Chet Amus, "La Catrina gets it right" when it comes to the art of street tacos. This is a place where culinary passion meets tradition in every bite. Whether you're craving a simple chips and guacamole (which were touted as the best within 50 miles) or ready to sample a range of tacos, La Catrina Tacos & Tequila promises an unforgettable dining experience. I can’t wait for my next visit!

“ Awesome place for authentic and delicious Mexican food. Outdoor seating is great and I love the cozy atmosphere of their upstairs dining area! Also being located downtown is super convenient and I will definitely be coming here again. ”
“ The food was delicious, the service was there, the atmosphere was simple. The menu was short and simple. We felt the food was definitely nothing short of spot on. I myself always have a tough time ordering Mexican food off of a menu, but the waiter fixed me up on how I wanted it! ”
“ Wow. Now THIS is some good food. There are plenty of places that do "street tacos", but La Catrina gets it right. Very delicious. And the wait staff was super friendly as well. If you're walking the big four bridge, stop by and give them a shot. ”
“ I think the place is fairly new. Stopped in for a beer, chips and guacamole. Best chips within 50 miles for sure and a very large portion. Thick and crsipy, made there if I recall correctly. Not a lot of indoor seating, plenty of room to sit outside under the balcony. ”
“ Amazing food, the best Tamales I've ever had! Every dish is a masterpiece in flavor and presentation. This is not your cookie cutter Hispanic restaurant, you will get the best food you've ever had. Edit: it's been almost a year since I've been here, and I still think about these tacos. I need to plan another vacation. 2 year later update: I finally made it back, I walked from downtown Louisville and I was so happy to have the same amazing food. Time and the economy has not affected the quality of the food here. Everything is still fresh, delicious and the margaritas are perfection, not that sickingly sweet premix you get at other places. The saddest part of this stop will be having to walk back, and then wait until I visit again. Nos Vemos La Catrina ”
“ If you love Tex Mex you’ll flip over the food here. I’m a Tex Mex lover from Texas and this is my new favorite food place. It’s worth a little drive to have something delicious in your life. So good! ”
“ Would say 100 percent this is the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to! Food and drinks amazing and the staff just as amazing! ”
“ I have ate allot of tacos this was by far my favorite the best tacos I have had! So happy to have found this place. ”
