A Taste of Mexico in Geneva – El Catrin

El Catrin, a new restaurant that transports you to Mexico right when you walk in, opened earlier this year at 7 Rue de Richemont, 1202 Geneva. El Catrin knows the way to my heart—nachos, tostadas, guacamoles, tacos, tortas, molletes, quesadillas and Mexican rice. Their drink menu consists of frozen margaritas, tequila, mezcal and three types of Mexican beer.

They offer three different types of guacamole, all of them light, creamy and worth trying with chips. Between the savory chicken taco and the spicy guacamole dip, the frozen margarita balances the meal out.

The ambiance is young and cozy due to the small space—not to mention the colorful walls (not overly decorated) and the upbeat music. The portions of guacamole and chips are fairly small, so keep in mind to order two if you want to share .

The restaurant is open from Tuesdays to Saturdays, starting from 6:30PM to 11PM and from Tuesdays to Fridays they also open for lunch from 12PM to 2PM. Make sure to reserve beforehand, because the place is small and always packed with people.

Head to El Catrin for a drink and a meal with friends that will leave your taste buds happy and satisfied.
