I recently discovered Catrachos in downtown Denton, and it truly is a spectacular hidden gem—a wonderful little piece of authentic Central American cuisine. Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior; sometimes the best food is found in these smaller, more genuine spots.
The service here is just as memorable as the food. The staff, especially the kind lady at the counter, are extremely nice and helpful. They check on you throughout the meal, making you feel welcomed and ensuring a great overall experience.
We loved trying an array of dishes, and honestly, it’s hard to pick a favorite as everything was so delicious and fresh. The Pupusas are a must-try; the chicharron and the bean/cheese varieties are perfectly thick and flavorful. The Pastelitos were wonderfully crisp, and the Pork Tamales were superb—moist, soft, and filled with great chunks of meat and veggies, proving that they know how to make this perfect food right. We also enjoyed the Pollo con Tajadas, with its crisp skin and tasty plantains. Everything was tasty and mild, allowing the pure flavors to shine, though they do have a nice hot sauce for an extra kick. Finding a parking spot can be a slight challenge, but the incredible food and kind people make the visit absolutely worthwhile. I am already looking forward to my next trip!

We loved it! Our favorite thing we got today was the pastelito. Really crisp and flavorful. We also each type of papusa: chicharron, queso, and bean and queso. Chicharron papusa was my favorite. The platano rellano was awesome too, kind of an interesting dish of fried plantain with what seemed like a cheese sauce on top. It's delicious, worth trying for sure. Everything was tasty and mild, no spice at all. They do have a nice hot sauce that seems simple, just peppers and vinegar from what I can tell. Definitely try it if you're curious, you'll be glad you did.

It is almost impossible to find a restaurant that serves good authentic tamales. Been to this restaurant once and theirs were superb! Moist, soft, multiple flavors. When they’re done right, tamales are the perfect food. Rarely are they done right. Except here, at Catrachos, an unassuming Guatemalan restaurant in Denton! Sometimes the best food is in restaurants that might surprise you from the outside … but great on the inside, where it counts.

Terrible, the person at the cashier talks to you as if you owe him something, terrible person. The restaurant and the food are also very unpleasant. I will never return to that restaurant again.
