Our Story
Founded in 2018 by the Zavaleta family, La Catrina is built on traditional recipes passed down for generations. What started as a small kitchen in a Chicago neighborhood has grown into a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike.
Our Mission
To bring the rich, vibrant flavors of Mexico to our community using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Every dish tells a story, and we are proud to serve food that’s made with love, care, and authentic spices.
Meet the Family
David Zavaleta, our head chef, learned her techniques from her grandmother in Oaxaca. With his wife Christina, they manage the restaurant and ensure every guest feels like part of the family.
