La Catracha is a neighborhood Mexican restaurant located at the corner of Wilson St and Manchester St. The place has that homey feel with several tables for eating in, festive decor on the walls, flatscreen TV, digital jukebox, and pool table.
They offer an extensive selection of authentic Mexican dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Cold bottled drinks offered here include Pepsi products, Jarritos, water, and beer.
I stopped in here recently for dinner. There was fast paced Mexican music blasting very loud over the speakers, so I was definitely getting my food to go. I ordered the Chicken Fajitas ($11 plus tax) served with 2 sides (I chose yellow rice and beans). The food was cooked fresh to order and ready in about 25 minutes as promised, packed in two styrofoam boxes.
The chicken fajitas consisted of marinated tender boneless chicken pieces, green peppers, red peppers, onions, and tomatoes, served with 4 warm soft corn tortillas and lettuce, tomato, & sour cream. The yellow rice was cooked firm and had a good chicken flavor. The refried black beans were very soft and smooth.
The chicken fajitas I had were very good and not too greasy either. I would order the fajitas again! read more
