El Catrin Mexican Restaurant

The only Mexican restaurant in Drumright and it is a good one. This restaurant is operated by a young couple. This is their first venture into operating their own business after years of working for other restaurants. The young lady taking care of the up-front business was the owner and her husband was doing the cooking. Great friendly service. The old building they are in has a large dining area decked out in and full Mexican décor. Apparently, it has been a Mexican restaurant for years under various operators. Even though it is on the main street through town, it is easy to overlook El Catrin. Chips and fair salsa on the house. The menu is not large, a reduced version of the typical variety OkieMex style food. I had the Burrito Laredo, filled with ground beef, covered in excellent queso, beans, rice, a little Pico de Gallo and a good tasting dab of guacamole. My wife had the Enchiladas Verdes. Three chicken filled enchiladas covered in an excellent verde sauce, beans and rice. The meats in both meals were well seasoned. The beans smooth and flavorful. Drumright, you have a good little Mexican restaurant; use it or lose it. We enjoyed the meals and service.
