Flan

We were heading back on side road and came across this place. It had outdoor seating and is dog friendly. We grabbed a table and the waitstaff came out after a bit and got our drink order. We ordered 2 shots of Patron Silver and it was not a standard shot glass size and price was extremely high. We just got an appetizer to share and desserts. Neither were what we had expected (cheesecake was frozen, etc) service was okay but as we were outside it wasn't like it would be I'm sure if we had sat inside. Give it a shot - you may have a different experience.

I'm glad we stopped in here. This was a very good dining experience. First off, the service is great. They definitely work hard to take care of their customers. Our food order was taken quickly and we didn't have to wait long for the food. I had a plain (not the seafood) Chile Rellenos. It was cooked well and the cheese blend was good. I got it with the rice and bean. There was a lot of rice and beans! They almost hid my Chile! Everything tasted pretty good. I'd definitely come back! Good location, good food, great service!

Carne Asada

I've visited this restaurant for lunch recently and found them to have a good menu selection and was a clean establishment. The service was also very good and I enjoyed the salsa that they serve with the chips. I ordered the Carne Asada steak dinner from their dinner menu as the menu they provided to me for lunch didn't have it listed. My reasoning for three stars is that although the food was good, the Kearny Asada lacked flavor and it may be because I ordered it at lunch. Perhaps it wasn't marinated since it was on the dinner menu. In either case, it was still a decent meal. I will plan to visit them again for dinner and try to Kearny Asada in hopes that that was only one experience ..

I moved away awhile ago and never made the time to eat here. This is my most absolute favorite place for Mexican food and if I could eat here every day, I would. The food is fresh and always piping hot. The owners are always so kind.

I recommend after eating every week for over a year. Family restaurant from authentic Mexican family owners. Not a chain. I no longer need any excuse to eat here, food quality is worth it. Top quality every time. Fast service, friendly and always polite.

The food is glorious. And it was packaged so nicely and attractively! Plenty of limes on the side even though we didn't request additionals. I had the Tres Quesobirria tacos and each was so packed with delicious beef! The bouillon was incredibly flavorful. I could only eat one, but one of my guests had one of mine and liked it very much. I had the last one just heated in the microwave the next day and it was almost as good as the first day. My husband and another guest both had the carne asada tacos and liked them. My husband is picky so I was relieved that he was satisfied - he actually used the words "really good" which sort of amazed me. Another guest had the chicken taco salad which was generously adorned with probably an entire avocado, and quite a lot of chicken. It was artfully prepared. Sides of rice and beans were even special; tasty and appreciated. I will be making a trip to La Catrina in person sometime very soon.

I also got to sample some really amazing tequila while i was there for pretty cheap. They carry Acre Largo and the G4 lineup so I was very happy. The salsas were house made and of the five we tried, every one was really good. I think our favorite was the roasted tomato salsa that comes with the chips. The service was quick, the food was quick, and the decor is upscale. After the meal i had the pleasure of talking with all the staff. The cook works at the Ridgefield farmers market as well during the season. The woman i talked to was telling me about tequila tastings with some amazing distillers. And our server was a lot of fun and did a great job. The combination of good food, good conversation, and good tequila really won me over on this place. I hope i get back soon to try more of the menu.

The margarita came out fast, it was the perfect level of spice and flavor (pineapple jalapeño). The food was out shortly after that. The tacos were cooked beautifully, the fish was battered well and the toppings were fresh. The shrimp was amazing. The shrimp were massive, cooked well, still nice and juicy. The team was really friendly, and the place is clean. Great food, great service!
