Street food here means quick-cooked Chengdu dishes rather than a menu of handheld snacks. The directness of the chilli, wok, cold-dish, and rice-jelly preparations gives the restaurant a clear street-food centre of gravity.

El Catrin is strongest when diners treat tacos and botanas as the centre of the meal. Birria Tacos, Cochinita Pibil Tacos, Baja Fish Tacos, Gobernador Shrimp Tacos, and shareable starters give groups a flexible Mexican ordering path without becoming a one-dish visit.

Tacos are a real menu lane here, backed by pastor, campechano, Baja fish, cactus-and-mushroom, and Tuesday taco-night pricing.

The food center is tacos, not generic pub snacks. Beer-ria, Mushroom Quesabirria, Carnitas Taco, Mexican Chorizo Taco and the El Colectivo flight give the kitchen a clear Mexican lane that fits a group order at the taproom.

The taco section is compact but useful: Birria Quesadilla, Baja Fish, Chorizo con Papas, Carnitas, Crispy Squid, and Al Pastor give a group several clear two-piece paths.

Soos keeps its Malaysian street-food frame current on the menu. Kapitan Chicken Tacos, Char Kway Teow and other shareable plates make the restaurant feel like a Malaysian dinner translated to Ossington rather than a standards-only entree list.
