Authentic, family-owned gem with true down-home charm! Every dish we tried was absolutely incredible — full of flavor, freshness, and love in every bite. The handmade salsas, tacos, and carne asada were all 10/10. You can really taste the care and tradition behind each recipe. My family and I had a wonderful experience soaking in the warm, welcoming atmosphere that celebrates Mexican culture. Special shoutout to Eric for making our visit even more enjoyable!

The food, atmosphere and service were only surpassed by the kindness & love. My wife passed a little over a year ago. Just reminiscing about the meal my son & I enjoyed at El Catrin gave me strength to visit & spend time with family & friend in Texas. Thank You! God Bless!
Also, check out the gift shop next door. Great items at great prices!

Stopped in for breakfast and these were the best breakfast tacos around. Simple yet delicious. We both ended up ordering a second taco each. They coffee came in a hand painted clay mug. It was so good, we decided to come back for dinner a few days later. Holy mole! That dark, delicious mole is unmatched. The margaritas are delicious and boozy. The salsa and black beans were a nice app while waiting on our food. The service was personal and we left feeling like regulars.
