El Catrin continues a tradition of flavor; Velazquez family create authentic Mexican food in White Center

Many restaurants claim to offer authentic Mexican foods. But to make that claim you must have more than skill and a cookbook. It takes wide ranging experience and talent.

El Catrin in White Center at 9641 15th Ave. S.W. has plenty.

Jared Velazquez, his son Abi, and his brother Chef Noe Velazquez have taken their years of cooking at nearby Nobel Barton and at El Sirenito in Georgetown and combined it with Noe's years of traveling all over Mexico as a truck driver. Jared explained, "When you are a driver you learn all the best places to eat and all the best foods. So Noe was a driver for more than twenty years before becoming a sous chef." it also means the variety of foods offered at El Catrin represents many of the cuisines found across Mexico. As you'd expect, the foods from the coast are different from those farther inland.
