AboutAbout Catalina's Fitzrovia

Catalina's Fitzrovia brings authentic Mexican street food to Cleveland Street, inspired by chef David's grandmother Catalina and her traditional family recipes. This family-run restaurant serves home-style tacos with slow-roasted brisket, tender chicken, or specially prepared jackfruit, alongside perfectly balanced margaritas and refreshing mocktails.

The warm, welcoming atmosphere and genuinely friendly service have built a strong local following since opening in 2021. Customers particularly love the generous portions, quality ingredients, and the care that goes into every dish, from the homemade guacamole to the house-made Muerte hot sauce.

Dog owners will find this an exceptionally welcoming spot - dogs are allowed both inside and outside, and remarkably, four-legged guests eat free before 6pm with a specially catered menu from Talula Eats. It's open Thursday to Saturday only, so booking ahead is recommended.
