Many people around the Collingswood area were sad a few months ago to hear about the closing of The Tortilla Press which was around for over 20 years. Have no fear about where you should go for Taco Tuesday though as a little further down the road on Haddon Ave is La Catrina Mexican Restaurant and I think you will really enjoy a visit there. The service is as friendly as it gets feeling like you are welcome into their home and it’s no surprise as La Catrina is a fully family run operation with Jose Medina, Gloria Palillero, Geovanni Farfan-Perez, and Maria Palillero combining the many flavors of Mexico and bringing them to South Jersey. Maria is from Puebla, Geovanni is from Mexico City, and then mix over a decade of working in and around Philadelphia restaurants and you’ll find the perfect combination of authentic Mexican as well as a bit of American inspired meals and tastes here. The decor is lively and adds a nice flair to the ambiance. My meal was Cecina Tacos which is salty Mexican beef with sauteed onion and grilled cactus that was fantastic and an order of Al Pastor Tacos with the pork perfectly seasoned and pineapple complimenting the taco spot on. Really enjoyed my entire experience and will be back to try more of the menu.
