Crammed together in Rhett's truck, Rhett, Brittany, Easton, our newest group addition
AJ, and I found Las Catrinas tucked away behind a couple of strip malls on the west
side of Wichita. After finally finding a parking spot in their full parking lot we walked
inside and met Tyler who was waiting on us and our table.
.
After waiting about 45 minutes we were brought to a table and got right to work looking at the menu.
.
.
We were all pretty hungry at that point so in addition to the chips and salsa we also
ordered a couple bowls of queso, some bacon wrapped shrimp,
.
.
and jalepeño poppers.
.
This picture doesn't do their size justice. They were HUGE.
.
With our appetizers gone it was time to start on our main dishes. Tyler ordered the burrito especial
.
.
Brittany ordered a shrimp burger. (Yes a SHRIMP burger.)
.
.
Easton ordered a grilled cheese
.
.
Rhett ordered the La Catrina meal
.
.
AJ ordered the chipotle pasta
.
.
and finally I went with my tried and true dish, a classic ground beef chimichanga.

The Crew Reviews:

Tyler: 7/10
"The chicken was overcooked and chewy, but good."
.
Easton: 1000/10
Still haven't found a grilled cheese this kid doesn't like. lol
.
Brittany: 9/10
"I'm not a big fan of Mexican food going in to this but those bacon wrapped shrimp were
amazing. I could definitely eat a whole plate to myself! The shrimp burger I was worried about
but took a bite and there was a fiesta in my mouth. It had spices, but controlled them with hints
of pineapple which made it even better!!! My rating is 9/10 points solely due the wait time to
get to our seats. Other than that our waitress was great and food came out in a timely manner.
Definitely will go back and would introduce other people to it as well!"
.
Rhett: 7/10
Rhett said that while he has had better Mexican food he thought it was all good and flavorful.

The only negative I could think of for this Foodie Friday was one that was out of the restaurant's
control, the long wait time. I guess that is what we should expect in a bigger city on a Friday night!
Our waitress for the night was pretty good staying on top of drinks and making sure everything came
out the way it should while also being friendly. I liked the decor of the place especially the skull in
the logo. The food was also pretty dang good although I do have to give a spice warning. Every food I
tried (including the queso) had a bit of a kick to it so if you are like me and cannot handle a lot of
spice just be prepared! Like Brittany said this is a place I would definitely go back to and
recommend you try out as well.
