I don't know anything about the folk art or the name, so I will simply quote The Stranger: "In Latin folklore, Catrina is a skeletal dame who represents the
equalizing concept of death when it comes to the rich and poor. In lieu
of revoluciĆ³n, Fonda La Catrina seeks to bridge the class divide with
affordable Mexican and a classy interior featuring the drawings of
legendary political cartoonist Jose Guadalupe Posada." What I do know is that this is some of the better tasting Mexican food in the area -- and more authentic, I am informed -- along with some pretty fine margaritas. And the bartender, server, and owner all took care to explore my tastes and offer alternatives. It's a very nice addition to the Georgetown area.
