Fantastic and welcomed rooftop patio serving Mexican staples with authentic flavours in the middle of downtown. You can smell the food cooking up on the patio; lots of sunny and covered spots. I had the guacamole and chips, shrimp, beef and pork belly tacos and the mango jicama salad and everything was fantastic. Will definitely be back! Corn tortillas are the default so gluten-free friendly as well!

It is incredible to have this authentic Mexican's food restaurant in Prince George. Highly recommended. Great quality food inspired in Juan Pablo (owner) grandma's traditional recipes. Good cocktails, reasonable prices, great customer service; and the music and the rooftop patio decoration and views create an amazing vibe.

I really liked the ambience of La Catrina's roof deck setup especially during sunset. Their foods were fantastic and this Margarita is the best in town. Kudos to their chef for a good presentation. Glad to met their friendly servers as well!

What a hidden gem!!! It’s a rooftop spot, great vibes, great view. There’s a rage open concept cooking area with the smoker or bbq or whatever it’s called cooking. Haha. The smell of it just made me even more ready for some delicious eats! I tried the shrimp tacos, highly recommend. I also had the mahi mahi… yum!!! Oh! And do yourself a favor, order the spicy margaritas!!! They were delicious and came in the cutest skull cup! Great place.

Good food and vibe. Must try Mexican eatery in Prince George. It’s a rooftop restaurant so keep an extra layer if it gets chilly. Staff is welcoming and kind.

La Catrina, located at 1165 5th Ave in Prince George, BC, is a vibrant Mexican restaurant that brings authentic flavors right to the heart of the city. The moment you step onto their rooftop patio, you’re greeted by the enticing aroma of traditional Mexican dishes cooking up, and a lively atmosphere that perfectly complements their menu. This spot is a sanctuary for lovers of genuine Mexican cuisine, crafted from recipes passed down through the owner Juan Pablo’s family.

Among the standout dishes, the beef and shrimp options deserve special mention. The beef taco, praised for its juicy, bold flavors, is a must-try. It perfectly balances smokiness and spice, enhanced by a range of four house-made sauces that elevate every bite—especially the salsa, celebrated for its fiery 10/10 spiciness. The shrimp offerings are equally impressive, fresh and well-seasoned, adding variety and depth to the menu.

La Catrina also shines in its gluten-free offerings, with corn tortillas as the default choice, making this a welcoming spot for those with dietary restrictions. The sides, particularly the smoky-sweet corn, stand out with their rich, layered flavors that complement the main dishes beautifully.

The ambiance here is another highlight. Whether dining under the sun or cozying up under covered spots on the rooftop, the setting is both relaxed and lively. From the great cocktails—including what many hail as the best Margarita in town—to the warm, attentive service by staff like Samantha, every element adds to a memorable dining experience.

In essence, La Catrina is not just a restaurant but a cultural experience—melding traditional Mexican roots with modern hospitality. It’s a place where food lovers can savor genuine taste, enjoy stellar views, and soak in a festive yet intimate vibe. For anyone in Prince George looking to indulge in authentic Mexican cuisine with quality, flair, and heart, La Catrina is a top choice.
