Family early dinner.We ordered fajitas, fish Veracruz and a hamburger. The hamburger was the jalapeno burger, but didn't have any spice, hamburger was good. The fajitas were good but not special. Guacamole was too salty.The fish was not 100% cooked, the patacones were excellent.Service was excellent but not the food, did not meet expectations of a Mexican restaurant.

You canât miss this place if you come to Samara. This place has it all and just a 5 minute walk from Main Street Samara. Ambience. Beautiful and romantic twinkle lit covered deck. Amazing Cuisine. Though Iâm from California, I live in NYC. This place knocks it out of the park. I recommend the fresh local Lobster and the Lentil Green Salad. Fantastic presentation and delightful flavors. Tequila and Wine: The selection of Tequilas accompanied by their special lime (youâll have to ask the bartender Guaro what is on it but I can attest it is sublime... no pun intended) The owner Carla is delightful, our server Carlos was professional, fun and attentive. Iâm going to be in Samara for four months attending the Intracultural Spanish Language School. This place just might be my dining room. Thank you so much for your delightful and inspiring review!! It is an honor to had you and your husband at La Catrina . We hope to see you again really soon Best wishes ,Carla

This place is one of the best places in Samara. Itâs a little hidden, but make the effort to find it. In six night stay with here twice. First time we had the Paella for two. Delicious! Next time we had plantings , ceviche , fresh red snapper and shrimp dishes. Excellent. Good prices too

I am kind of a grill lover and never have ever seen anything like this place. Not the only the system is unbelievable but also how it translates the smoked flavor to every plate is absolutely outstanding.I had the grilled garlic for starter and the grilled squid filled with shrimps... still enjoying the madness of flavors and dreaming of tasting another entree ... definitely two thumbs up!!!

I ordered veggie patties that had so many ingredients and they were tempura fried and with dipping sauce. Also a nice portion of salad. Everything was beautifully prepared and was delicious! Also had a choco banana smoothie. I could not finish the entree as the three patties was more than I could eat. Highly recommended.

We ate at Sámara Pacific Lodge in early December. Very friendly, and delicious food. Also pretty reasonably priced for a nice dinner- $37 for two entrees and a glass of wine. It was romantic for couples but was also family friendly. If we had stayed longer than 3 nights in Sámara, we would have returned.

Passed this bistro several times heading to my hotel and it always seemed busy, one evening nearing the end of my stay I decided to stop and explore. Was pleasantly surprised on the outcome, nicely presented in all manners, the menu, the wine,the food and the ambiance. It was a really nice experience and the Sauvignon Blanc wine was well selected and reasonably priced. If your in the area I would certainly recommend a visit,even just for a glass of wine and a chat in the ambiance, SuperbThank you very much for your kind review John ! It was a pleasure to receive you and it will be pleasant to see you again :)
