Las Katrinas MX | Our Story
Authentic Mexican flavors on Smith Street
Las Katrinas MX is a celebration of Mexican tradition — the food, the culture, and the warmth of the people behind it. We're right here on Smith Street in Perth Amboy, and we'd love for you to pull up a chair.
Food made fresh, every order
Everything here is cooked to order — no shortcuts, no reheating, just real Mexican cooking made with care. Guests regularly leave with leftovers because the portions are that generous.
The people who make it home
Owner Arturo's warmth greets you at the door, and Sister Margarita walks first-timers through the menu with genuine patience and joy. You'll leave feeling like familia.
A place built on tradition
The Catrina figures, the Día de los Muertos décor, the marigold wall hangings — none of it is backdrop. It's a daily act of cultural pride that makes Las Katrinas feel like nowhere else in Perth Amboy.
Rooted in the community
Perth Amboy is one of New Jersey's most vibrant multicultural cities, and Las Katrinas fits right in — a neighborhood spot where Mexican tradition meets a community that knows good food.
