Perfect Autumn Patio Dining
The menu here has really improved in terms of gluten and corn-free options. It use to be quite challenging. There patio is huge and visually interesting, giant black & gold hanging light fixtures, garden boxes with towering palm fronds, patio l

We sat outside near the fire on a warm September evening for dinner. Great atmosphere outside and we also loved the decor inside. We tried the tacos which were very good. It would be even better if we could select different types of tacos instead of
Best Tacos Outside Mexico!
I stopped in for lunch with my sister, at her suggestion as I am from out of town and wanted good Mexican fare. The server said they were known for their margaritas and tacos so I took him at his word and, boy, was I not disappointed! I ordered a t
Disappointed
Nice ambiance but the food is bland, small portions and expensive. Not worth it. You’re better off going to other restaurants located in the Distillery.
A perfect day
Food was great and Carol is a great server. We look forward to our next visit. After a horrible experience at nearby Irene, we were very happy here.
Amazing dining experience
Absolutely amazing food that was served quickly. Staff were also lovely. The atmosphere in the outside area patio is great too.
What a fun atmosphere outside on the patio with the
What a fun atmosphere outside on the patio with the mariachi band playing. The house made guacamole is a must and a couple cold margaritas and beers are perfect on a hot day in the city . Service by Andy was very good. Thank you.
Great patio and amazing decor inside! Huge tequila
Great patio and amazing decor inside! Huge tequila selection at the giant bar. The original margarita was really good, perfect lime & salt mix. We had the Tacos Al Pastor and the Birrias. Small but tasty.
I came here with my wife while on vacation in Toronto.
We decided to eat here based on the very lively ambiance of the restaurant. The staff was very friendly. All the food was made quickly and was delicious. The prices were a little on the pricier side but definitely worth trying!

I came here during a weekday afternoon where the restaurant was only half full. I mention this because I came with a large group (14 people) and they refused to split the bills individually, a common practice at many other establishments. Part of the

We called in and were able to be seated which was amazing as it was a busy holiday Monday. We shared tacos and they were very tasty. The decor is stunning and it has a great ambiance. The churros were a treat from the restaurant and were superb.

It was good but WAY too expensive.
I'm not sure how this happened but I spent $50 for three chicken flautas (plus one free because it was Tuesday) and a Mexican soda. Waitresses were great and the restaurant was clean, but noisy though I guess that's the vibe they're go

So you are touring the distillery and want a nice ambiance, great outdoor seating. Inside was nice too but just seemed a bit cramped. Waiter seemed nice and tried to be attentive, but really didnt go out of his way to accommodate. Ordered the guacamo
Horrifying Experience at El Catrin
I had one of the most disturbing and humiliating dining experiences of my life at El Catrin in the Distillery District. What was meant to be a simple evening out turned into an absolute nightmare, thanks to the completely unprofessional and aggressiv
Well worth a visit
Very casual, welcoming and with a great vibe, we really enjoyed this restaurant. We started with the house made guacamole prepared at the table and Helen had a cracking salad while I thoroughly enjoyed a quesadilla. Fantastic server, great cocktails
Gord and I had supper last evening at El Caltrin.
It was really hot and humid on the patio and the constant mist helped. We started with a Sangria de la Casa (red wine, guerra vermouth, pressed juice, fresh fruit). Gord had Atún Ceviche (ahi tuna, watermelon, guajillo, lime, cilantro, radishes)
Mexican Lunch (4/5)
Friends hosted us and we enjoyed our Mexican lunch. The restaurant is located at The Distillery in the Historic District. The restaurant looked deserted on the exterior but upon entering, et voila, it was packed, busy and buzzy. Service was frien
nice atmosphere and appetizers
nice cocktails and nice appetizers for a snack! waiters were attentive and friendly, great atmosphere! gluten free options were plentiful but it wasn’t clear what was in a shared fryer/grill or not.
Authentic
Wonderful outdoor patio with authentic food and great service. Didn't have a reservation but slid our party of 5 in without issue even though packed. Octopus was cooked perfectly and try the black hot sauce.
Great place, food and service. Fire pit on patio turned on on a warm, sunny day.
Visited June 12th for lunch. Food, drinks and service were great. I have been there several times. One odd thing this time - we were on the patio, close to the fire pit. It was a very warm, sunny day. Misted water was coming down, which was good. Abo
amazing margaritas!!! we got the flight and all four
amazing margaritas!!! we got the flight and all four flavors were outstanding! Salsa was delicious as well!
Had chicken tinga flautas & Baja fish tacos.
The tacos were unbalanced with too much sourness but the flautas were pretty tasty. At these prices I expected more though. Also we sat outside & there was a huge fire going for a long time, though it was 27 degrees & sunny, so that wasn't
"Managers" ganging up on customers to protect their hyper sensitive staff
I gave 2 stars - that is for the food since it close to authentic Mexican dishes served in local restaurants in Mexico. The poor rating is for the staff. Dont get me wrong, the servers are good. It is the receptionist and "Managers' Im referring
They should be ashamed of themselves.. Tourist trap crap!
I've never been to a Mexican restaurant that when you ask for salsa, the waitress has no idea what you're talking about. It goes downhill from there..Prices are insane for tiny portions. Ceviche is served in a very small ramican its not very tasty an

They have a beautiful restaurant seating both inside and outside. It took us about an hour to get a table when we tried to walk in on Victoria's day holiday on Monday. The food was alright i'd say. We got the chicken flautas as well as chips + sa

They have a special vegetarian menu which I really appreciate! The food was excellent and patio vibes were amazing! Our server was super friendly too! Highly recommend
One of the favorite places in Toronto
Pleasant, exceeded expectations, good atmosphere, good music, it is a place that transports me to the beach area of my country
Hip Place for Comida Mexicana
Pleasant place to eat and drink. Nice rustic venue. Great tacos. Striploin and pork chops delicious. Their Guacamole is outrageous. Good service staff always reaching out to refill. Just entertainment dining.
We stopped in to El Catrin on a walk past.
The patio looked interesting so we tried it. Menu looked interesting as well, but the fools was terrible - and WAY overpriced. Had a pitcher of red sangria as drinks. No entrees seem to come with anything. Shrimp Adobo is just shrimp. No guacamo
Great!!!!!!!!! I got the gorditas and they were good and
Great!!!!!!!!! I got the gorditas and they were good and pretty authentic (loved the masa) !! Not usually a tinga fan but I thought it was great too. Guacamole was good too! Also the hibiscus. Service was really nice too :) Only minor complaint was

Ambiance: (5 stars) Large ceilings, lots of wood.
There is music playing in the background. They got tequilas that are 250$ an ounce. Overall I would come here for a drink, and skip on the food. Service: (5 stars) Very fast, a few minutes after ordering it was already ready. Food: All the mea

Excellent Mexican food!!
Amazing food! We love Mexican and agreed this is now our favorite Mexican place in the GTA. The guac was made table side and was fresh and tasty. The fish tacos, the steak and the tacos de papa were all excellent. As well as the churros! Portions
I love El Catrin, for any special occasions.
Great food and drinks, beautiful patio with heatings. Indoor is so romantic. The drinks are delicious and unique. My favourite is Mayan, it's lightly sweet, balanced with tamarind sour and mexican spices! Loved it. The esquites are out of the world

Good and tasty
A very nice restaurant in the Distillery district of Toronto. A lot to chose from on the menu, spicy and tasty. That goes for the drinks as well, their Margaritas are really good. Service was good, very spontaneous and fun. Not too expensive as well.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with El Catrin Destileria Toronto. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to El Catrin Destileria Toronto at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the El Catrin Destileria Toronto page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at El Catrin Destileria Toronto to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at El Catrin Destileria Toronto!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
