| - I had dinner at El Catrin for the first time last night. A friend of mine recommended in as he was in the mood for Mexican food. The following is a list of what we shared between the two of us:
GUACAMOLE EN LA MESA (Avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, serrano chili)
- this was good, but nothing to write home about. there's much better out there... plus we ran out of gauc half way through the chips
CHORIZO CON PAPA (Chorizo, salsa verde, cotija cheese)
- i wasn't very impressed with this dish - a little bland for my taste, i wouldn't recommend it
CALLO DE HACHA MONRE ALBAN (Spicy pan roasted scallops, grilled corn, peanut and arbol chili)
- the was the highlight and saving grace of the meal - very delicious - highly recommended
We each ordered two Dos Equis with our meal and the bill came to just over $100 (with tax), a little steep for the portions they were serving.
As for the service, it was excellent - our server was very attentive and helpful with any of our questions. The hostess was quite pleasant as well...
I wouldn't be opposed to going back and trying other things on the menu, but at the same time I wouldn't be in a rush to re-visit El Catrin either.
