Mexican food in Switzerland! Yes! What a find close to our hotel. Great tacos, especially good with the smoky "medium" hot sauce. Good inexpensive wine! Cute inside and happily crowded with locals and international. read more

Very Delicious idk if I would call this Authentic Mexican maybe more of a fancy Mexican-ish. The resturant is very cute. I got a fish and a shrimp taco, guac, a Margarita, and a corn cake $66 USD easily $30 at home but it was VERY GOOD! MAKE A RESERVATION, i could not get a table for an hour but was able to sit at the counter for my strong and tasty Margarita, and got my food to go very quickly! read more

Our last night in Geneva we found this cute little restaurant around the corner from our Airbnb. Coming from California we know good Mexican food. This was much better than our expectations of Mexican food in Geneva. Our party of four enjoyed nachos, quesadillas (birria), chicken, fish and birria tacos and Frijoles. We were quite surprised. Fish Tacos were voted our favorite. Our waitress Gloria was very friendly and we had nice conversations. I would recommend this restaurant and hope someday to return. read more

The food is amazing and worth the wait -- Really cool atmosphere and great for a family. Make reservations before you go as there is only a bar area to eat at without them. Very busy and staff is as helpful as they can be with the place packed. read more

I really miss street food and tacos readily available. El Catrin's tacos are good and they hit the spot if you are craving tacos. They're definitely Geneva pricing and around 7 CHF per taco. The horchata is delicious. read more

Great service. Amazing tacos, very authentic. Beautiful ambiance and amazing Passionfruit margs!

Love at first bite. It's what Geneva has been needing for years.. REAL Mexican. We ordered a combo platter for 2 so we could try a bit of everything. The guacamole was wonderful. Not too chunky. Chips..perfect A small tasty salad. A bread with refried beans cheese pico de gallo ..and 4 tacos of our choice..tinga, pibil, and poblano. All wonderful. Truly enjoyed my meal. The place is small so reserve ahead! Great servers. ..delish margarita too! read more

It offers Mexican cuisine with a French spirit. Therefore, it is really hard to write that it was a satisfactory Mexican experience. The best thing is the friendliness of the people, which is hard to find in many Swiss restos. Guacomole was very refreshing yet the quesadillas were the least satisfactory which I have ever eaten in any Mexican restaurant around the world. Indeed, the menu is very limited in terms of main dishes (can't really state children friendly) and a bit complex to process for first timers. Interestingly, they are usually fully booked, which I'd attribute to the hunger of the international community in GVA to eat sth different beyond every day Swiss choices. read more

It tears me apart, being from southern California, to pay so much for a few tacos and a margarita, but damn they tasted good after 3 months in Europe! El Catrin is easy to miss on a stroll around Paquis, unless you're here around dinner time, at which point you'll definitely notice the hungry queue that seems to be a constant fixture of this small (6-8 table?) but delicious restaurant. Though small, the ambiance of the restaurant is great, with lots of colors and the decorations giving the place the feel of a Mexican restaurant, if a bit minimal for a true Mexican's taste. The cooks and servers all seem to hail from Spanish- speaking countries, as well, which gave me my first glimmer of hope that the food may not let me down. I was not disappointed- the food was great- with large, yummy (and exotic- flavors such as tamarind) margaritas to wash it down. Homemade tortilla chips are also a nice touch- and hard to find here in Geneva! I may not visit as often as I'd like on account of the high prices, but at least I have an option for Mexican food in Geneva! read more

Went for dinner with girlfriends. The service is so nice and friendly - the food is extremely fresh and delicious. The spicy guacamole is excellent. I would have liked a bit more spice on the tacos but maybe I needed to order salsa. Margaritas needed another shot of tequila and would have been perfect. Would definitely go back! read more

I had dinner here with my mom I think she may have cried tears of joy. There is no good Mexican food in Geneva, but this place is amazing. The guacamole is excellent, the chips are homemade. And the tacos! Real corn tortillas, and there are vegetarian options for my fellow veggies out there. Also the frozen margaritas are bomb. And it's air conditioned. And apparently it's opening for lunch soon. Everyone needs to go here now! read more

Excellent typical Mexican restaurant. Not Texmex. It's the real thing ! Very good service with a smile read more

Best Mexican place in the GVA! Y soy Mexicano! Friendly service and cozy atmosphere. Chips are crunchy salsa is spicy! Good selection of Mexican dishes and their lunch menu changes often. I recommend los al Pastor. Margaritas are nice and strong, they have Negra Modelo, which I hadn't seen in this side of the pond. Have some Mezcal to cap it off! read more

A bit expensive, but the food is incredible and the drinks too. The place is fun, clean and had awesome staff.

Food is decent, proper Mexican not texmex. The margarita's are a must however the other cocktails are a bit of a hit and miss. The tortilla chips. guacamole, and salsa are very good. Service is attentive and friendly however a little to eager to clear your plates away. Ambiance is nice, diverse crowd, but I would ask to sit in the front, because the back area is quite loud. read more

excellent Mexican in an unlikely setting of Geneva. It's better than most East Coast options we have in the USA by far. Would definitely come back as the guacamole was superb and the tacos were all very tasty. Worth checking out if you are no longer interested in French or Swiss after five days in Switzerland. read more

I'm visiting from SoCal so wasn't expecting much since I can get great Mexican food anywhere by my house. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this little gem! The drinks and service are great! The food was good but lacked a little salt and spice. The salsas were good but not spicy enough. They do have a spicier salsa but it's habanero based which I don't care for. Overall a good place. I would eat here again. read more
