Thank you! The barria tacos…read moreIf I am ever in Mankato again. This is was my favorite meal in town.

Went there with wife and three kids, I'm skinny and I could barely fit between the booth and table…read more My wife ordered pollo asada, which came with a cheese sauce, so she asked if that cheese sauce could come "on the side." The gentleman charged us 5$ for extra cheese sauce and then argued for 5 minutes that we asked for the extra (sauce was gross and didn't touch it by the way). So three kids, they had tacos, I had a quesadilla app, 5 sodas, no booze, and the bill was 100 bucks. Avoid this joint like the plague.

I like the food here. It reminds me of Mexican food I used to eat back in Southern California. They…read morehave an amazing Aguachiles, chips are always fresh, servers are polite and attentive and I've seen the drinks other people order and they look good. The decor is nice and seats are comfortable.

I want to like Catrine's because La Terrazza (the previous restaurant) was our long time favorite…read morebut Catrine's has left a lot to be desired each time we've gone. My biggest takeaway: it's EXPENSIVE. I understand prices in general are up but the quality of their food is not on par with the prices. This is a standard Mexican restaurant trying to charge upscale Mexican prices. The salsa is good, I appreciate individual dishes for everyone at the table. However last time we went, we finished a whole basket of chips before we got a water (much less ordered our drinks.) The servers were more interested in cleaning other tables than waiting on us. Even though it took longer than it should have to order, when we did finally order our food came fast. Margaritas are very average. Everything is average. Not in any hurry to return.

One of the best indicators of authentic international food is when the clientele matches the type…read moreof food. Each time we've come here (three times and we live in the Twin Cities and only moved to MN from Arizona less than 2 years ago), there are multiple tables of workers breaking for a yummy lunch and chatting in Spanish. This is the food we're all missing from back home. Our absolute favorite is the carne asada burrito. Wonderfully flavored steak, guacamole, pico de gallo, and fresh tortilla paired with some of their zanahorias en escabeche (pickled carrots), delicious medium green salsa for me and spicy hot red for my hubby. So good!! While I waited for our food (they make it fresh), I chatted with one of the workers and lamented that we didn't have a Giliberto's near us in the TC. She let me know there IS one in Blaine, which is close to us! What a great discovery! Our next craving we'll be checking out the Blaine location. Vamonos! PS Make sure to catch the amazing mural on the grain silos nearby. So well done. Love it! https://www.americansiloart.com/mankato-minnesota

Is it possible that a mall Mexican food spot could actually be better than the local restaurants?…read moreThe answer is yes, yes it can. We went during the weekday for lunch so not sure if the weekends or evenings have more options or the same but I was impressed and the prices were great!

Food- amazing. The chips were great, salsa great, queso…read moredip yummy. We all got some burritos, which i tried most of them. Each one delicious. I'm really trying to be fair, as the service shouldn't bring this to a 1 star, because there were highlights. Secondly, I've been told a lot of good things about this place and feel we may have had a one off. The parking lot was pretty open but i couldn't really tell there were parking spaces up front. The interior is very comfortable and nice looking. However, our visit had a sour taste when it came to our service. It was roughly 630-7 on a Saturday night. There were 4 other tables in our section. The greeter was very pleasant and welcoming. Then we got this guy who changed the whole mood. Not seeming to want to be there or not wanting to help us.. possibly both. He took our order and was nice about it. But that's where the good service ended. He checked with us to see if we were ready to order within 5-10 minutes. However, we were waiting on the last of our party. We did order drinks and queso, which came to us. Our last of our party arrived, where we waited like 15 more minutes before he finally came back to see if we were ready to order. She ordered a drink, which he went to go get, rather than taking our orders. By this point 3 other drinks were empty and he did not check to see if we needed refills. We advised while ordering our food we needed more drinks, which he brought. I believe he didn't come back until they brought our food out. Then he never came back again. Our Last person never got a one refill of her drink and the rest of us did not get another refill as we we're all ready to go at this point. He actually never came back to our table, and had one of the hostess or another waitress come to us to see if we were good. This girl was much better and attentive, unfortunately we were on the way out.

When we got here, no one else was in there. Others did arrive, though. The food was GREAT. This was…read morethe first mole I've really enjoyed in years. Staff was attentive and professional. I don't know if I'll pass through Mankato again, but if I do, I know where I'm eating!
