"A friend and I found ourselves in downtown Mount Vernon looking for somewhere to have dinner because the place we had planned to go had closed for the day. We could see a number of options, and then got our phones out to check the Google reviews. We were standing right in front of La Catrina, and even though it looked like a bit of a hole in the wall, it got pretty good reviews. It wasn 't too bad once you got inside, though the lack of atmosphere took it down a star. Since we are both from Arizona, we 're pretty familiar with Mexican food, and weren 't expecting a lot. We were pleasantly surprised. We each got a couple of the street tacos, carne asada and carnitas for me and bean and veggie for my friend, and all were very good. So were the margaritas in general. I got the house variety, which I enjoyed. My friend tried the flight and wasn 't very happy with the strawberry one, but really liked the other two. We then tried what we consider to be the acid test for a Mexican restaurant: the chile relleno. Our server, Erik (with a k! said that it had a light egg batter and was served with a green rather than red sauce, which sounded good to us. We both agreed that it was one of the best we 've had in a long time. The frijoles were a little runny for my taste, but my friend found them just right. My friend, who has moved to the area recently, said that she will definitely be back."
