El Catrin Mexican Grill - Lugar increíble muy buen hambriento precios accesibles y trato de MIL - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Walking in from the outside made it a surprise when I got inside and saw the murals, nice tables, and how well the location was put together. The prices were reasonable and when I found out I could order breakfast I was happy and satisfied because even though it was lunchtime I wanted breakfast. The waiter was very helpful and attentive. He made sure my water was always topped off and my food was correct. I'll be back when I'm on this side of town next week. read more

A good selection of Mexican and Cuban dishes! I enjoyed my food and so did my partner! Non alcoholic beverages are served in mason jars which I thought was pretty cool. If you're in the humble / IAH area, give this place a try! read more

Excelente ambiente muy buena atencion y comida deliciosa tanto la comida cubana y la mexicana

I've been there twice. Service has been great on both occasions. The food comes out at a reasonable time. It isn't ready to go. Nor is it a long time. Guacamole - It was freshly made, zingy, a bit spicy. French Fries - They came with the Shrimp brochette. I finished every single fry. They were crispy outside and tender inside. They taste either double or triple cooked. Ropa Vieja - Very well prepared and generous meal. I like mine more tomato forward. Plantains were a bit sweet for me. That being said, this is preference and not quality. Shrimp Brochette - generous portion and fresh. Rice was outstanding. The Shrimp, bacon, Jalapeno combo were very tasty and a bit spicy for me. I like the place. It's good fresh food with good service. read more

Very good food! Drink was good, Service was great! Good if you want to get away from the crowed! Will definitely go back!!

Horrible service, since my friend and I didn't order big plates we were dismissed as paying clients. We order from the sampler menu since my friend is a gastric bypass surgery. The other server was nice enough to bring paper napkins and refill our beverages. Food was tasty and the ambiance was really nice, you can have a conversation without everyone else knowing your business. read more

Love their shrimp ceviche. Service was quick and pleasant. Beautiful decorations too.

Ok first I ordered a lunch quesadilla that is on the menu for $5.99. It says to pick one meat so I did chicken. When I got it back to school to war I opened it up and the cheese was just shredded and all over not in the quesadilla not melted nothing. I was like oh well to late now. Then I got a bank notice for my charge and it said El Catrin Mexican Grill $ 14.45 I thought oh must be mistake opened it up and not at all! Wtf did I pay for? A couple small squares of tortilla?!? Nothing else! Called 5 times no answer stopped back by on my way home closed till 5. Called 2 more times after 5 no answer. Well guess it's got totally ripped off!! read more

Delicious authentic Mexican food. Margaritas definitely hit the spot. Ambiance was cool and service was top notch. People complaining about the price. Go somewhere you can afford then. This place is awesome! read more

I really wish this place would pick up it's pace for service! The food, chips, salsa etc is really good! The service is so poor!! Usually the server tries but there is usually one server doing everything from order taking, drinks & food service, table clean up and cashiering. There has always been the same manager guy there that doesn't do much of anything. He will maybe bring chips and salsa & pick up a few dishes but otherwise sits and watches tv or is on his phone, no matter how busy the waitress may be. He also is so unfriendly! Never a greeting nor smile. He pretty much drops your chips and salsa or food off and leaves without even a grunt. I feel like if they had some good management and decent service along with some advertising they could be quite good! Unfortunately, there is often very few people there. read more

This was the 2nd time I tried this restaurant. Service is terrible. It took 45 minutes to get our food with only 2 tables full in the restaurant. I had to get my table silverware after asking for it and the waitress forgetting. The waitress was too busy sitting at the only other table of guest there and sharing photos on her phone continuously. She brought my 2 year old sweet tea when I asked for water. The queso dip tasted sour. My quesadilla tasted like it just laid in grease. The refried beans, I can't even begin to explain. Extremely disappointed, especially for a pregnant mom who just wanted to get some food near by. The cook in the back took my card to ring us up, because the waitress was too busy sharing photos again. I didn't even get an itemized receipt. I have no idea if I was over charged or what I paid for. Definitely won't be going back. read more

First time trying this place out . Kinda pricey for what you get. The beef fajita plate was really tough and rubbery . It's came with 5 slices of fajita for 20 dollars. read more

Came to this place on a weekday, had no wait, and was tended to immediately. I ordered the fajitas, which came out perfect. I also had some aguas frescas which were so nice and refreshing. The service was great, our waitress was friendly and attentive. All in all a positive experience on my end. read more

El Catrin Mexican Grill - Fajita plate - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

So my husband and I went to this restaurant on a friend's reference so I stayed positive. The inside is cute and I like the theme. The food is good I especially liked the seafood tostadas. We went on a Thursday at 5:50(they advertise happy hour weekdays from 3:00-8:00) also on their table tents they advertise 10% for weekday meals and buy one get one free margaritas. Everything seemed ok then they brought the bill, I assumed it wasn't a strong margarita because it was a happy hour one but they charged full price and didn't do the buy one get one free. Also they didn't do the 10% off and they even added a random $10.99 charge and when I brought this to the servers attention she was like oh our system is having problems.....problems adding random amounts? So unfortunately even though the food was good I feel like they scam customers and won't be back for that reason. read more

Agree with all the negative reviews about El Catrin. Food yukky. U know how sometimes food tastes better as a leftover? Not this stuff. Trash can ate it. Really disappointed! Prices are not cheap either! read more

This is our go to place for Mexican cuisine cravings. We tried to order a variety of different foods every time we go here and we make sure we always have baked oysters ordered when available. I even get a free margarita sometimes lol. This is a gem tucked away awaiting to be explored. read more

The food, service, and ambience was great. Very friendly staff, and great prices. The owner is a local to the island of Galveston and it's always good to promote our local businesses. Will return again and again. read more

I found the food here fresh and tasty. The Huevos Mexicanos were promptly served on a heated plate for a great start to the day. I found the artwork in the dining area very colorful, unusual and interesting too- I'm making El Catrin a regular stop! read more

Wow, why have i never eaten here???? This place is wonderful! Great food and service too! On a lark we decided to meet here, the cheese enchiladas were on point but the mixed fajitas the best! I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Very well decorated and furnished, but So so food. There's a bar but they don't have actual liquor to sell, it's only pre-made margarita or beer which is disappointing for a Mexican restaurant. read more

Best place to grab menudo on a weekday!!! Staff is so accommodating. Will definitely return.

My coworkers and me decided to try this restaurant today for lunch. I gotta say the food is good but that's it. Service is horrible, food takes roughly about 35 minutes while there are only 4 tables in the restaurant at that time. The main thing is in the end when all of us finished, the manager/owner came up to our table and greeting in Spanish. My coworker told him that we don't speak Spanish, he then talked to us in English. Then I told him that I could talk in Vietnamese to make him not feeling awkward, he then said "Tatatatatata, is that Vietnamese?" This is really disrespectful and ignorant when he did not speak or understand Vietnamese at all and try to make fun of it. I WILL NOT come back and WILL NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone I know. read more

Went for lunch because of a long layover at the airport and it was awesome food. Super nice staffing

The beef fajitas were so good. Not dry at all. Got the oysters as well. Very good. Service is good too. Seafood soup was full of seafood. Highly recommend this place. read more

Food and Margaritas Mediocre In the area so gave it a shot. Nothing to return for unfortunately. Do yourself a big favor and drive to SALSA's on Blanding or SALSA's Middleburg off 220. You won't be disappointed! read more
