El catrin reviews

This article was published more than 10 years ago. Some information may no longer be current. Early last spring a pair of Mexican chefs began selling "Canadian" dishes from a food truck in Mexico City. The stunt was funded by Ottawa to promote commodity food exporters, if not our culinary brand, exactly — the last thing Canada's destination restaurants need is for the world to think Canadians spend our days eating factory-farm-to-fork meat pies, and cooked-from-frozen French fries topped with pizza cheese. This being an official Can-con effort, I assume the truck also blasted a screeching hellscape soundtrack of Celine Dion and Nickelback tunes. Which brings us to The Distillery District's new El Catrin, the most drop-jaw beautiful Mexican restaurant ever to open in the city, and according to the company's pre-opening hype, the place that would finally introduce Toronto to authentic their word Mexican food. Out front, the sprawling cobblestone patio is equally breathtaking, warmed by a fire that ushers from an enormous Corten steel bowl. The patio is strung with oversized chandeliers that seem to float above the tables, against the flicker of firelight and the evening sky. Inside and out, these are spaces to revel in. Yet if you were expecting something more complex than substandard tacos and the odd, Frenchified take on tostadas, you might come away disappointed. With a few notable exceptions, what turns up on the two-month-old hotspot's plates is "different" only for its frugality of imagination and crushing mediocrity. I'm sure that's authentic somewhere, to someone. The cochinita pibil, described as "pork brisket braised 24 hours with axiote and orange juice in banana leaf" was stringy, dry and effectively flavourless where it should have been gently floral and smoky, savoury and punchy-sweet.

The service just wasn't there we sat down and was forgotten took forever to get our food and drinks. Our server "Angie" was a delightful young person.

They were very busy when they were there and it took a long time to get seated. It also took a very long time to order so just make sure you have allotted yourself when you go.

Thanks 0. We ordered enchiladas, fajitas and chilaques. The only thing which has any taste. Jul 20, Previous review. Andrew C. Serive is fast and atrentive, and they are prompt with the chips and salsa. Wonderful place! Place was busy but not crazy for a Sunday evening. IG: nomwithelaine. How much did this set me back, you ask? My one friend got a chicken quesadilla and my other friend got birria tacos. Yet if you were expecting something more complex than substandard tacos and the odd, Frenchified take on tostadas, you might come away disappointed. Slightly pricey but good!

We serve the best authentic, traditional and modern Mexican cuisine in Toronto. We've also got the largest tequila and mezcal collection in the country.
