El Catrin

There are hundreds of Mexican restaurants in Houston. I was pleasantly surprised the menu had items you don't see in any Mexican restaurants like fideo con pollo. That was a real treat. And talk about margaritas! I'm very picky about my margaritas and they made my skinny to perfection. I will definitely come back when I am in town and recommend my friends and family.

Stopped in 9 p.m. on a Thursday night, pleasantly surprised at the ambiance and classy look and feel of this restaurant. Was greeted by very friendly staff, sat in a comfortable booth. Menu is varied and easy to navigate. Seafood looks amazing! Opted for Tacos El Molino, three good sized corn tortillas (not street taco sized) filled with grilled fajita meat, grilled onions, a light smear of beans (to hold it all together), fresh Cilantro and queso fresco. Topped one with the red table salsa (spicy hot) one with the green table salsa (creamy and hot) and last one with a little of each. Soft, seasoned fajita meat blends well with the beans, onions grilled semi soft and plentiful, Cilantro neutralizes the flavors and the queso crumbles add that fresh, semi sour taste. Plate come with just the 3 tacos. No rice or beans to interfere with the taste. Washed it all down with frozen margarita with salted rim, delicious Rita! Definitely a top 5 in my book! Go to El Catrin, explore the menu while sipping a frozen margarita! Treat yourself!
