    Santa Catarina is so fresh! Even towards the end of the night, the food is perfect. Amazing staff, and great food. Love the stuffed chile relleno- seafood or pork! You can't go wrong.

    This is excellent authentic Mexican. It's got taste and a little heat. But I made the mistake of taking my Midwestern parents here and they kept saying every item was "too spicy." Keep that in mind.

    You must visit multiple times and try everything on the menu before settling on a fave. Everything is delicious, savory and authentic, down to the Mexican cream and queso fresco. Sharing is an option.

    Seems to have a little suramericano flavor, or at least southern Mexico. Definitely a fresh flavor for the area.
