Lunch at Fonda La Catrina

The only thing better than catching up with friends is catching with friends over lunch. Yesterday I did just that. Fonda La Catrina was the place. My first time there, although it’s been a Seattle staple for some time. Located in the heart of Georgetown, that industrial neighborhood on the south end of Seattle, Fonda La Catrina provides a warm and lively spot for meeting friends. I’m looking forward to warmer weather and checking out their deck, too.

We had the special Posole to start. And really we could have ended there. Even the small bowls with their fragrant broth and tender pork were large enough for a meal. But we’d also ordered Enfrijoladas – tortillas dipped in a bean sauce before being filled and smothered. We chose carne asada for the filling, which was okay but not great. I think, though, that it just wasn’t the best choice for this dish and probably would be good in a taco. The beans and rice that came along with the enfrijoladas were really flavorful.
