El Catrin has been my favorite Mexican restaurant in Geneva for the past ten years. There are years I’ve gone once a month and always brought new people to try it, because it was consistently that good. This last visit, though, was disappointing. The service felt off. My jacket fell off the chair without me noticing, and a passing waitress picked it up and tossed it back without a second glance. It seemed careless and rude. We ordered six tacos between two people and were given just a quarter of a lime. I had to ask three different waiters for more, and it took nearly ten minutes to get them. It felt unnecessarily difficult. And the horchata, which I usually love, was extremely watered down, no flavor at all. I’m hoping this was just a bad night. I’ve made so many memories here, and I’d hate for this to be the start of a decline.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at El Catrin — and above all, for your incredible loyalty over the past ten years. It truly means a lot to us that El Catrín has been your go-to spot in Geneva, and we’re so sorry to hear that this last visit didn’t reflect the standard you’ve come to know and love. We deeply regret that the service felt off and that small details — like the handling of your jacket, the wait for limes, and the horchata — disrupted your experience. These may seem minor individually, but we understand how they added up and impacted your evening. That is not the level of care or hospitality we strive to deliver. We sincerely hope this was an isolated situation, and we appreciate your honesty in giving us the opportunity to improve. You’re absolutely right — consistency is everything, and we’re committed to ensuring your next visit feels as special as all the ones before. We’d love the chance to welcome you back and make things right. 💛🌮

I used to come all the time and loved this place but it changed, the food quality is really poor and the service very long. People are not very welcoming and poor service overall. Very disappointed for a place that I loved, I will not come back again.
