I quite enjoy visiting Distillery District, whether it is to take out of town guests around, to walk around during the summer, or during the Christmas Market. The last time we went it was winter and quite cold so my family and I were looking for a cozy place to eat and warm ourselves up. El Catrin has a lovely patio with heaters and a fire pit that allowed us to sit outside comfortably.
We ordered guacamole and chips to share, and it was cool to watch the guacamole made at the table. We ordered pulled pork tacos and the Baja tacos to share. I particularly enjoyed the Baja tacos with the crunch of the battered fish and freshness of the slaw.
The inside of the restaurant is pretty cool looking too with exposed brick, colourful murals, and interesting lighting fixtures. It is a cool place to hang out all year round while enjoying pretty decent Mexican food. Oh, forgot to mention they do 7 course and 9 course tasting menus! Looking forward to going back there to try some of their house specialties and ceviche.
3.25 stars.
