Mexicana La Catrachita — Restaurant in Mansfield

The best Mexican restaurant in Southwest Missouri. Generous portions, reasonably priced. Unfortunately, when I went there a couple of weeks ago, there was a hand written note on the door saying that they are closed until further notice. They hope to reopen, but don't know when. I am very saddened to see this happen. I hope they reopen soon. Edit: As of 9/13/25, I am happy to report that this wonderful restaurant is now open again.

The food isn't good enough to tolerate all the hidden fees and upcharges and never knowing if what we ordered will be what we get. Glad to have a good restaurant so close now. Great enchiladas and nachos....

Chips are somewhat burnt. Salsa is bland. Guacamole seems sort of watered down. I suspect refried beans came from a can.

Poblano has some flavor, about medium spicy. Actually pretty good. Taco has a lot of meat, nicely spiced.

Overall, quaint hole in the wall. If i lived here, I'd probably come back. But driving through, I'd...
