If you are looking for some good, authentic Mexican food, this is definitely the place to be. Depending on how busy it is you may have to wait to get in (unless you've made a reservation) but it's worth it. The host/hostess enjoy talking to customers as well and it truly kills the time. The atmosphere is STUNNING and almost has that rustic vintage feel to it. It includes some traditional Mexican art pieces. The food is incredibly fresh.
My friends and I came in the winter. Our waiter was very humorous and kind. We truly connected with him. He was very friendly and often gave us suggestions on what to eat and drink. He also knew a little history about the restaurant which was interesting.
Most important is the food. Wow, I may be over exaggerating when I say that their ingredients are the freshest ingredients in the world. I loved that they hand crush their famous guacamole right in front of you, not to mention the taste is unforgettable. I had a seafood taco and well as a Mexican salad and a small chorizo sandwich. Full of flavour and absolutely amazing. To add on to that, this restaurant is very cautious of allergies and make sure that every customer is satisfied. I believe that their menu is fairly priced as well.
If you are thinking of taking your family, friends or both to this restaurant, without a doubt, you should choose to travel to El Catrin and eat your Mexican heart out.
