10/10I’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 👏🏻

Thank 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! 🇲🇽✨

8/10This 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.

5.5/10Our 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.

4/10El 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.
El Catrín • Owner
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. 💛🌮
