| - My boyfriend and I went to La Catrina looking to satisfy a craving for some yummy tacos. We went around 8:30pm on Sunday night and there were only a few tables seated. We quickly decided we wanted the nachos, enchiladas moladas, crispy chicken tacos, and the picadillo (ground beef tacos). It was a few minutes before the server came to take our order and he quickly retuned with our drinks. A minute or two later he came back to let us know he had forgotten they had ran out of chicken...not a huge deal and I guess not unbelievable since we were there fairly late. So we switched our crispy chicken tacos and enchiladas moladas to two orders of the fried fish tacos. I'm not even mad they didn't have any chicken left because those fish tacos were insane! the tacos came our first and they were all delicious. The beef tacos were flavorful with a little bit of spice, but it was the fish tacos that had me in heaven. The fish was perfectly cooked and flaky, the coleslaw salad gave it crunch, crispiness and freshness, and the chipotle mayonnaise tied it all together. Amazing, I'd go back just for those fish tacos. Then came the nachos. I've read some other not so positive reviews of the nachos and I'm a little confused to be honest because I thought they were great. The cheese they use and the chorizo gives them a unique flavor that's addictive. Truly wonderful. Finally, we had the churros for dessert of course. they serve three of them per order and it was plenty for the two of us. They were freshly made, hot, crispy, golden and sugary on the outside and fluffy on the inside. they were absolutely delicious. My only complaint is I was expecting a chocolate sauce or dulce de leche to be served with the churros but there wasn't anything. I'm sure they would have given us something had we asked but we didn't bother.
All in all we really enjoyed the food, the service was a little slow but perfectly pleasant and the establishment is beautifully decorated. We'll definitely be back.
