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”.

Henequen
It was called "Oro Verde" (Green Gold). The henequen is a plant that was very precious in Yucatán due to the fiber that it has. Very strong fiber used for many things such as shoes, bags, etc.
Huevos Motuleños
It is a Yucatecan dish that we usually have for lunch (even if it is with eggs)

Art and culture are an important part of life, and here at the Catrina churros we are proud of be showing a mixed media and collage artist @dulcetappart for all the month of November with her theme: Las Catrinas a little celebration from Canada to Mexico in the month that we all Mexicans celebrate The Day of the Dead a festival that is very important in our culture.
Come and enjoy a little taste of Mexico and some art is a win win day out!

Tortas! It is a large Mexican sandwich filled with a variety of meat.
One of my favorites is the Cochinita Pibil (pulled pork, marinated in achiote).
Perfect for lunch, or dinner. If you don't want to cook or go out of your home we are in Uber eats.
