Stopped in for breakfast and these were the best breakfast tacos around. Simple yet delicious. We both ended up ordering a second taco each. They coffee came in a hand painted clay mug. It was so good, we decided to come back for dinner a few days later. Holy mole! That dark, delicious mole is unmatched. The margaritas are delicious and boozy. The salsa and black beans were a nice app while waiting on our food. The service was personal and we left feeling like regulars.
The very cool decor includes Frida in a variety of imagined scenes, boxing greats, Selena, Cepillin, cast pictures from El Chavo del Ocho, and much more. It’s attached to a small store next door with everything from snacks to soap.
Thinking of that mole now, I can’t wait to go back!

Authentic, family-owned gem with true down-home charm! Every dish we tried was absolutely incredible — full of flavor, freshness, and love in every bite. The handmade salsas, tacos, and carne asada were all 10/10. You can really taste the care and tradition behind each recipe. My family and I had a wonderful experience soaking in the warm, welcoming atmosphere that celebrates Mexican culture. Special shoutout to Eric for making our visit even more enjoyable!

The food, atmosphere and service were only surpassed by the kindness & love. My wife passed a little over a year ago. Just reminiscing about the meal my son & I enjoyed at El Catrin gave me strength to visit & spend time with family & friend in Texas. Thank You! God Bless!
Also, check out the gift shop next door. Great items at great prices!

This place is awesome. A hidden gem in Oak Cliff. The food is fresh and EXTREMELY TASTY!! The Birria tacos are some of the best that I’ve ever had. The rice was so light and fluffy. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I could not believe how reasonably priced it was! There is even a store that sells Mexican candy and cool trinkets on the other side. Definitely check them out. You will be happy .

I had the caldo de pollo. It was pretty good and loaded with veggies. I will definitely be back to try something else on the menu. The corn tortillas are huge and made fresh. You got chips with 3 different salsa’s. The green salsa was to spicy, but overall good flavor. I also liked the decor and small mercado. The customer service was great.
Fri 04/14/2023-Hubby and I stopped by for a quick bite. The food was okay. There have been some changes. The service was good, but the portions could have been better in my opinion. We both ordered a tostada.

DONT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!!! Terrible!!!! Did a carry out order and got our order wrong the first time, so had to wait longer for them to make sure they got our order wrong. As if we didn’t know what we ordered. Wasted 50$!!! On 2 taco plates, Guac and 2 aguas. Taco plates came with NO limes or onion/cilantro and the guac came with no chips?! Just a waste of 50$…WILL NEVER ORDER HERE AGAIN. And if you’re thinking about ordering here DONT.
