   We hosted a client lunch with 18 people. Our waiter, Mason, took very good care of us, and as usual, the food and service were wonderful; El Catrin did not disappoint.

   Jose was our server and was amazing. Overall good was great we had the buy 3 tacos get 3 tacos Tuesday and guacamole app. We were stuffed but managed to find room for the amazing tres leche dessert. A stellar night for our anniversary. We also got a discount because we were catching the amazing Kim’s Convienience play next door. Wonderful night for us!

   Food was generally good but service was slow. That said, we never felt pressured to be done and get out so that's definitely a plus. Price point is a bit hight for what you get.

   ⭐ 1/5 – Disappointing Experience We had a reservation and arrived on time, yet we still had to wait over 15 minutes for a table. Once seated, they moved us to another table, adding to the inconvenience. Service was extremely slow—it took another 15 minutes just to get water, and our server had zero service attitude. They even switched our server mid-meal, causing more delays. We were celebrating a birthday, but the experience was far from special. When the bill came, it took forever to sort it out. Food was below average and definitely not worth the wait. Wouldn’t recommend.

   It is an undeniably beautiful restaurant, service is great! The food in my Opinion was a bit over priced for the portion amount & unfortunately the churros gave me stomach issues all night after eating there for dinner. I would go again, maybe for a lunch service but probably won’t order the churros again!

   I recently dined at El Catrin and wanted to share my experience, as I was quite disappointed with both the food and the service. I ordered the roasted cauliflower, but it was extremely sour and not enjoyable. I asked for a special drink based on the server’s recommendation, but I was served something else. Since it was my first time trying it, I wasn’t aware until I received the bill that I was charged full price for a different drink, which was not part of the specials. When I brought this to the staff’s attention, I was only given an apology, but my bill was not adjusted to reflect what I had actually ordered. I expected better service and transparency, especially when ordering based on recommendations.

    Found this place on a business trip to Toronto. It was winter so the patio was closed but the atmosphere inside was great. Beautiful decor and comfortable seating. My group enjoyed the food, cocktails and atmosphere.
