I love going to this place! It feels like you're on vacation, the entire experience is truly authentic. I live in the Distillery District and I am no stranger to El Catrin, to compare the two is simply ridiculous.
The owner is always present and brings us the really hot sauces when we ask him for it. Our goal here is to sweat from the heat of the peppers! Always fun if you like spicy food!
The band is great too and they set a fun atmosphere. The combo platter never fails and you have a choice of half chicken and half beef. They make a great Michelada its best with Tecate. The staff have great personalities!
