I was a little disappointed with El Catrin this time. I've been before and it was delicious but this time our nachos were not hot (cheese not melted at all in the middle), our tacos were tepid and there was no beer on tap! The enchiladas suizas were absolutely swimming in way too much verde sauce- was hard to find the enchiladas! Server was very pleasant though. It was a shame because I'm not sure I'll go back.

They didn’t give us 20% off as we supposed to get the bill before 1830. But 1830 is our booking time. Very weird.

👎👎👎👎👎 major disappointment! I have been to catrin before and something has changed in the kitchen because the gringa pastor is absolutely horrendous the recipe has changed completely the tortilla the cheese and the meat are different and it now tastes terrible, i will never go back. We ordered 3 and it was unedible we left them complete.

El Catrín is a great restaurant to go to, the staff was kind and patient with us and even took time to explain the dishes, And they’re vegetarian/ vegan options are really good, and the overall vibe of the restaurant is really nice, I highly recommend to check them out.

I’ve been to El Catrin quite a few times in the past but this was one of the memorable visit from a culinary standpoint. First time I tried the Gringas and they were superbly tasty, especially the chicken. Also the refriend beans with the nachos was super thick, tasty & creamy, and the tacos rocked as always (highlight today was the Pork Pastor). And the margarita to go with was well loaded, and tasty. Will be returning very shortly! Nice and quick service, mellow vibe on a Sunday, which possibly helped with the former (it’s usually packed)! Great job 👏🏻
El CatrínThank you so much for this fantastic and detailed review! 👏🏻🌮 We’re really happy to hear that this visit stood out for you from a culinary point of view — especially with the Gringas (great first choice!), the refried beans, and the pork Pastor 🔥 And a well-loaded margarita to top it off… sounds like a perfect combo 🍹 We’re also glad you enjoyed the quick service and the mellow Sunday vibe — those quieter moments do have their charm. Thanks for your continued visits and support, it truly means a lot to us. We’ll be very happy to welcome you back very shortly 😉 ¡Hasta pronto en El Catrín! 🇲🇽✨

This place has the best tacos in Geneva, and that's the only reason I keep coming back. But there are two things that always bug me: First, the limes. We ordered eight tacos for two people and got just a quarter of a lime. I asked for more and got two more quarters. As a Mexican, I’m used to using a lot more lime on my tacos. Luckily, I had one in my bag from grocery shopping and used it. I felt a little awkward, but it saved the meal. Honestly, they should add “extra lime” as a menu item. I’d happily pay for a proper portion. Second, when they bring your order, all the tacos are mixed together.. You have to figure out which ones are yours and take them from the other person’s side. I’ve never seen this in Mexico or at any other Mexican restaurant. The staff at El Catrín seemed to think it was totally normal. Service is okay, prices are typical for Geneva, and the food is great. Just be ready to sort your tacos and bring your own citrus.

Great good!

Our old favorite is losing its luster. Once the best Mexican food in Switzerland, we had overly salted appetizers and cold enmoladas on this visit. Coupled with bad service these are signs of an increasingly lazy restaurant which makes me sad.
