Catramex: Reviews & Ratings
Salsa - amazing! Great texture and flavor. Not 1/2 water. Lol Main meal - ordered server recommendation from Honduran menu. AMAZING! Massive portion (probably would feed 4-6). Beautiful presentation. All the meat had incredible flavors, unique to the meat. Hard to pick my favorite. Plantains were the best Ive had. Highly recommend
The food was amazing. I will definitely be coming back here!! I live right around the corner it is convenient. The waiter was very nice and I really enjoyed my experience!
Fantastic Mexican food served hot and fresh. We came for lunch on a Sunday. There were plenty of seats available. The waitress seated us after she got off the phone from taking an order. It seemed as though (like many places these days) she was doing multiple jobs. After seating us she brought chips and salsa that was delicious. Dos Equis beer was ice cold and the Burrito I ordered and the Quesadilla my wife ordered was fantastic. It looked like there were plenty of drink and food options on the menu for all. Would recommend and would return!
I got take out. The food was good and ready pretty quickly. Music was fun but a little loud, the woman couldn't hear me during checkout. Menu seems to offer some great options that I'll try next time. Overall decent experience EDIT: I have since tried many more things from here and can say the food is very good! Christmas decorations were fun, friendly people each time.
Absolutely delicious meals and generous in portions. Will definitely go back. My combination margaritas of jalapenos and strawberry was a bomb. It's a little bit too strong for me, but it's definitely tasty. The mistake was that I went for a grocery shopping afterward, and I'm kinda feeling tipsy in the store. I did not complete my grocery list lol
I had the most wonderful food. The flan is homemade and delicious. And the Honduran food was amazing and the flavors were in perfect harmony. I don't remember the name but it was a fried chicken and plantain dish. My partner got a Mexican burrito and it did not disappoint. The salsa was so flavorful. Service was wonderful and attentive.
literally the BEST burrito in the world is made here The Diablo burrito is an 11/10, the steak is so perfectly grilled and the spicy queso cheese all over it just takes it to another level whatever you guys do to that burrito don't ever change it! The service is really friendly/fast and attentive. The atmosphere is energizing and welcoming. We'll be back 100%
I miss places like this! Great food! If you have ever traveled to southern California the taste here is spot on. The ground beef rellenos and chicken were really delicious. I'm used to cheese in my rellenos and not poblano chiles but these were great! Recommend this place! Tacos de Asada were nice as well.
