I loved their A la Diabla Fish plate it came with tasty rice and vegetables. However, they recently removed it fron the menu. So now I need to find a new fish place. They have garlic fish options, but I'm not a fan of garlic and they wouldn't make the fish plain. So they lose a star.

Villa Catrina is decidedly a step up from many other Mexican restaurants in the area. The menu is lengthy and tempting. The food is among the best. I had a three-item combination, each terrific. My wife ordered the Posada Enchiladas, which is one of the best vegetarian Mexican dishes around. The service was excellent, friendly and helpful. The place is not fancy, but it is more than acceptable. There are cheaper Mexican places around, but the prices are reasonable for the quality.

Great place to get away from all the Asian food in the area. Yesterday, I came for Sunday brunch buffet and everything was fresh, hot and tasty. Their soups are really good. Fruit, salad and desserts (churros, plus chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon fries and macarons) were offered.

They even had a band playing for a couple customers since it was their birthdays.

I'll be back when I crave Mexican!
