Opened at 3139 University Avenue in San Diego's North Park in mid-October 2018, La Catrina Tapas & Cantina replaced Tostadas North Park and was a partner project between City Tacos owner Gerry Torres and Sonora, MX-native Roger Canez, who also owned the now-defunct Burrology in North Park and Sonora Express Meat Boutique in Tijuana. The restaurant offered a menu inspired by Baja's Valle de Guadalupe wine country, even boasting a menu designed by Animalón chef Brandon Rodriguez.
There is no word for the reason behind La Catrina's closure, but City Tacos is currently in the process of a local expansion to include new branches in Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, and Sorrento Valley, so ownership may want to focus attention on that concept. We reached out to the restaurant for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publishing.
