· Brewpub, Mexican restaurant
· 4.7/5 Google (4521 reviews)
Reservations · Delivery · Outdoor seating
Lively Mexican-leaning brewpub with big portions and house beers; most diners rave, but a minority report serious service and consistency issues—go for beer and tacos, expect volume.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Baum Catrina delivers solid neighborhood brewpub dining with strong food quality in tacos and shareable platters, backed by friendly, attentive service and excellent craft beer selection. However, quality dips during peak event nights, and occasional food safety reports create reliability concerns that prevent a higher grade. The warm Palermo Soho setting and generous portions make it worth visiting, but inconsistency keeps it from competing with the area's most dependable dining destinations.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels warm and bustling, with taps pouring house brews and staff who often strike an easy rapport. One diner summed it up: "Big plates, bigger smiles, and a lively crowd." However, a minority describe service flashpoints on packed event nights, so mileage can vary. The cooking leans classic Mexican bar fare—tacos, burritos, shareable platters—delivered with hearty portions and salsas that sometimes bring real heat. Beer is a co-star, with stouts, IPAs, and local favorites pairing well with the spice. If you like casual energy and bold flavors more than white-tablecloth polish, you will feel at home here. Families are fine here thanks to a kids menu (milanesitas, cheeseburger) and accessible pizzas and salads. Adventurous children may enjoy tacos or quesadillas, but if spice is a worry, stick to milanesitas or the simpler sandwiches and request mild salsas.
