Casa Las Katarinas is the best! And I mean the best! My family used to own a home in Grass Valley, and we went to Katarinas 2-3 times a week! We sold the home a couple years ago... and we still drive 3 hours just to go there. We want to buy another home in Grass Valley- and Casa Las Katarinas plays a huge role in that. And I'm not exaggerating.
Also, I'm a vegan. And they have a huge vegan menu- with vegan deserts!!! When do you ever see that? Most restaurants do not know how to cook vegan, but let me tell you- Las Katarinas knows how to cook the very best vegan food. My family consists of meat-eaters, vegetarians, and vegans. When we go to Las Katarinas, everyone is satisfied with the best Mexican food we've ever had. They cook anything from meat, to fish, to vegetarian, to vegan... and they cook everything to pure perfection no matter what you get. To be honest...I've never had a good meal at Casa Las Katarinas. I say this because every single meal I've had has been beyond excellent!!!
Adding on to the delicious food, you have the nicest ownership and employees. They know us by name and every time we walk into this amazing restaurant, we feel right at home. The environment is so friendly and it feels like you're walking in and the restaurant hugs you.
We will be back very soon David and Delia!
Always the best service and exceptional food. Thank you foe opening here.
A favorite stop but not without a few drawbacks. First, we do miss the older owner, Dave very much. He is so personable and nice. The food here can be very good, very professional and feels more like a real restaurant than some other Mexican restaurants in the area in terms of quality. The pick up window for phone orders is a very convenient feature. Love the beans and rice as well as the chips. Everything is generally high quality. Now for the bad. The portions are very small in a lot of cases for the price paid. If you are a big eater you will possibly go home hungry. If you are a light eater you will not have "leftovers". Restaurants are more expensive than eating at home so generous portions should be the standard, even if you have a lighter appetite. Otherwise, they have a good menu though there is a general lack of ground beef options as nearly every beef dish is made with rump roast....which is great for some dishes, and not ideal for others. The shrimp used in the menu items is very fresh, the chicken is excellent in the fajitas but just OK in other dishes. The taco salads are excellent though small.
Oh MY! The food is soooo good here. If your looking for authentic Mexican food this is the place. And if you dont want to eat in, there is to go pick up in the back. Owners and staff all very friendly, go support our local Restaurants
This place has the best FOOD in Nevada County as well as the best MEXICAN FOOD in Northern California. I have tried a lot of the things on the menu! My favorite thing to order is the two item combination plate with a chicken enchilada and tinga taco! Cheese is so melts and tasty! It’s so much food for the price! My favorite way to tell if the Mexican food will be good is by how the beans and rice taste. OMG the quality! Casa las Katarinas has a good selection of vegetarian meals as well! They also recently started serving ice cream which is yummy! Chips and salsa are never empty on the table! The chef is the sweetest person you will ever meet and the servers are all top notch! I guarantee you will have a perfect dining experience here. No pictures because I gobbled my food right away sorry.
Had the hottest Mexican dish I can remember. I loved it. They were short staffed, so service wasn't great. They tried though.
Was visiting a friend and let her pick a place to eat. I can see why she loves this place. It's brightly lit and spaced out nicely with both tables and booths. The waiter Dakota was very attentive to us and kept water and chips full. I tried the Camarones al Mojo de Ajo: shrimp with garlic and butter. So good so much garlic and other seasonings. Boyfriend got Bistec Ranchero. He loved it and if he had more room he would gotten extra tortillas for the sauce. Also Dakota brought out a green salsa which was a hit with the boyfriend. When we head over there again for another day trip we will definitely come back and take pics this time!😸
Pretty good rellenos, good portions (maybe too big) but rather enjoyable. Definitely returning.
So nice to have a fine restaurant in our area. They're always flexible and have wonderful food
