Nestled in the heart of Ottawa, La Catrina Churros is a family-owned café and the city’s only churreria (churro shop).
It all started with the dream of Ulises Ortega.
After noticing a gap in the Ottawa market for Mexican ‘desserts’ in 2013, he set out to offer the best ones and step forth in a challenging domain to offer Canadians new and tasteful products.
Ulises went to Mexico, where he is from, and was trained by the best churro makers.
Six months later, he and his family returned to Ottawa, purchased a custom-designed “Churro cart”, named “Mr. Churritos”, serving at private events and festivals. Success was immediate – and you can now find the “Mr. Churritos’” churro cart at all of our major festivals.
In order to better serve something simple yet authentic, he and his wife, Diana, leapt at the chance to create a cozy Mexican café. In May 2017, they opened La Catrina Churros, a café that specializes in Churros.
“La Catrina” showcases the culture, the sweet delicacies, the language and “La Catrina” the Dame of Death of Mexico.
It conveys a mortar Mexican styled dessert bar that would offer not only the tastes of Mexico but showcases our special tradition, “Dia de Los Muertos”.
Join us for the best churros in town!

We have been in the churro business for more than 10 years, first with our cart @mr.churritos.ottawa and then with our cafe.
During this time we have improved out recipe bring new products, etc...all this while listening to our customers.
Now that we are in lockdown so we are officially launching our Frozen Churros so you can make them at home when you crave them!

We customize our cakes as much as possible.
I can say that our 4 years old likes the churros plain and cakes with almost no frosting so we understood when our customer asked us for frosting just on top and not too much, plain churros, no sprinkles...
Happy birthday!

Happy 60th!!!
I just wanted to share this Churro cake we made for a customer!
And while I have you here, you know that Ottawa is on red zone. We can have only 10 ppl inside, which is not so different to our capacity before.
Please keep your distance, sanitize your hands at the entrance and keep 4 ppl per table.
Gracias and see you soon!

Our favorite drink at home is Horchata, so we make it fresh and from scratch!
What is Horchata?? Horchata is a traditional Mexican drink made up of white rice soaked in water, it’s flavored with cinnamon and its sweetened with condensed milk.
Super refreshing and delicious...my mouth is already watering from making this post.
