   As you enter the restaurant, the decor really is beautiful and well done. And the whole place feels warm and welcoming. Our server, Shena, was awesome with great recommendations and outstanding service. Oh yeah, and the food was brilliant. A very authentic experience and a definite highlight on our trip to TO:)

   The atmosphere and vibe here are fantastic. A great spot for a gathering! I love the separate vegetarian/vegan menu - it’s so appreciated! Service and staff were great and food delicious!

   Ece really knocked it out of the park, and I can’t thank her enough for making my birthday so awesome and memorable. Her little touches and attention to detail brought a fun vibe to the celebration, making it an experience I won’t forget!

   While I enjoyed some of our food and drinks item, the overall experience was a bit disappointing due to the service and environment. It took 20 minutes to get greeted + water and 20 minutes to then get our drinks - that means 40 minutes to spend $18 on a margarita. The restaurant is very crowded due to a narrow walkway between the tables and bar seating so often you feel very crowded and cramped the entire time. While they installed a curtain to try and help with the winter weather, being close to the door area was freezing! Even the server came over and mentioned how we had a bad table - not the best thing to say… For the prices you could definitely get better service and equally as good food elsewhere.

   Lively fun place to eat. The food and Margaritas were delicious. The margaritas were a bit pricey for what you received, but other than that, it was a wonderful experience. We will go again.

   I had an amazing dining experience at El Catrin. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. Mason, our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail of our meal was perfect. Thank you for the beer in house draft beer suggestions. The food was absolutely delicious – everything we ordered was beautifully presented and full of flavor. I highly recommend trying the Baha Taco– it was a standout! Overall, a wonderful place for a meal, whether it’s a special occasion or just a casual outing. I’ll definitely be back soon. Thank you for the great experience!

   My ahi tuna tasted like watermelon, completely marinated in the too liquid watermelon juice. It was too liquidy to stay on the chip. In My wife’s Quesadilla the meat was over cooked. A flight of drinks is usually samplers, these were good but huge.

   Larry, thank you for returning to El Catrin and for your review. While we are happy to hear that you enjoyed our Margarita flight, we are saddened to hear that our Tuna Tostadas did not hit high on your expectations. Please know that we would have been happy to replace anything that was not to your liking. We hope you will give us another chance to make your next visit more memorable. Best regards, Stuart K.

    We were a group of 19 for New Year’s Eve and we are so happy with how everything went. Service was incredible, food came out at the perfect time, all of us got served at the same time. And the price was amazing. We would totally organize a large group event there again.
