| - I went to El Catrin with a few friends for a weekday lunch and walked away quite impressed. I really enjoyed the food and the restaurant as well. The atmosphere was nice and there are a lot of cool and funky decorations.
Our table ordered the guacamole as a starter to share, and each of us got a sandwich. The guacamole was incredible, absolutely some of the best I've ever had. They also "prepare" it table side. At first, I thought this meant that the guac was completely prepared table side, but it turns out they simply bring out all the ingredients in a bowl and mash it up for you. A bit of a let down but it tasted so good.
For my sandwich, I got the steak one. I asked the waitress what she would choose between tacos and the sandwiches, and she said the sandwiches are more filling, as they also come with a salad on the side. The sandwich was tasty, juicy, and the bread was soft and chewy. It was a great combination. Everyone at the table enjoyed the meal as well.
Final thought: the food isn't cheap, my lunch bill along with a mojito came to a fair bit. But it was very tasty and honestly, there aren't many cheap and good eats in the Distillery District anyway. I will definitely consider coming back here if I'm in the area.
