| - I was hoping for more from El Catrin. It's supposed to be the cool-spot, and highly recommended by all these TO bloggers... nah. It probably just has great marketing/pr peeps offering free lunches to these TO bloggers for positive reviews.
They have an attractive patio, and the inside is decorated quite brightly, these Mexican fluorescent muralist style art covers their tall walls, some beautiful Mexican art ceramics and antiquey items are scattered about - the interior decorator did well.
We ordered Ensalada de Kiko, Ceviche Sierra, and some tacos (Pastor & Cochinita Pibil) for lunch:
-Ensalada de Kiko was plain - I've never complained about too much Quinoa (I come from Peru, we've been eating Quinoa for centuries). This was the most insipid Quinoa salad I've ever had - there was no dressing, no lime juice, nothing to give this salad flavour. With all the fresh ingredients this salad brings, there was nothing to bring all these flavours together. Which "Chef" is responsible for this? Please review this menu item.
-The ceviche portions were tiny, the seafood was overcooked (in the lime) and lacked flavour. Seriously underwhelming.
-The meat in the tacos was flavorless and lacked proper seasoning, nothing good to write about.
I was truly disappointed. If you want a good place to eat, don't come here.
If you want a trendy looking place to show off to your followers on Instagram -come here, your pics will look "cool" - but that's about as good as it gets for you.
