Not great. I got carne asada. The steak was hard. The beans were insulting - and I love beans so much. They were so salty I couldn't continue eating them. The onions and peppers were undercooked, some onions were still white. The rice was not notable. The lettuce was kinda soft. The tortillas were weird, like they're supposed to be corn but they're made with flour. Thick, watery, and sad. The tables were sticky and the takeout came in all styrofoam. read more

This is a wonderful little Honduran place in the heart of Olney's local restaurants. Fresh and delicious. For full details see John tanners bbq blog and search "catrachito" read more

El Catrachito Restaurant De Olney - Delicious tacos! - Honduran Near Me - Olney, Maryland

Just going to comment on my recent take out experience. Ordered Parrillada Familiar. The taste of the meats (chicken, steak, shrimp and chorizo) was good in general, but some things we were not pleased about. Cons: -there seems to be a lot of onion and bell peppers with the meat (almost 50% meat 50% onions and bell peppers) -the chorizo was very spicy (didn't expect this, nor there was a warning)... tasted good but definitely not kid friendly -the beans came in a container that is not liquid proof so they spilled inside the bag making a mess before we even got our food -beans were somewhat still hard although they had a good flavor -this parrillada is supposed to come with sour cream and guacamole but they did not send them to us (hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else?) Pros: -the seasoning of the meat was good -tortillas were warm and seemed fresh -rice was fluffy and perfectly done Ordered via Uber eats, waited a long time and no one picked up our order so we went ahead and picked it up ourselves (not the restaurant's fault). Hope they use my feedback to get better. There are not a lot of Latin American food restaurants in Olney that are not Mexican food, but unfortunately we've ordered from this restaurant a few times and the experience has consistently been 3 out of 5 for us. read more

My husband and I have been talking about trying el catrachito for a while and we were definitely not disappointed. This officially just became my new goto for tacos in Olney. I got the cheese papusa to start and it was just okay but to be fair, the man that took my order said it was his least favorite. The shrimp tacos were SO GOOD and loaded. I finished with the plantains which were cooked to perfection. My husband got the fajitas which he said weren't bad but he would get something else next time. I've been converted and can't wait to get it again! read more

Hole in the wall spot. Not good for big groups at all but the taste is on point and service was fast. I ordered the enchilada carne which I highly recommend and also got the spicy shrimp tacos which was also a hit. I'd definitely return. read more

Creo que a este establecimiento le falta personal, o simplemente tienen algún otro problema con el servicio. Te dicen que la comida estará lista en 20m y se lleva 1h y aun no está. Ósea creo que el servicio y la honestidad es clave al éxito de un establecimiento. Lo que a mi en serio me molesto es que mi comida me la hicieron enfrente de mi y se llevo 8-10m y donde esta la otra hora que gaste de mi tiempo esperando ?. La comida honestamente no sabe bien , el sabor esta re mal. La gente paga por un servicio y calidad no para mentiras y pérdida de tiempo. Aquí les dejo la foto como pueden ver , ciertas partes de la orden de tacos que pedí tiene aceite y mucho y en otros lados no read more

It's sad that I will be the first one giving this establishment a 1 star. Unfortunately, this is solely based on customer service right from the start, and I did not even sit down or taste the food. I came in today with my 3 year old and when I opened the door there were 2 ladies sitting their selfs down and grabbing a menu, I then gave eye contact to the guy at the front and he did not greet me, I then proceeded and greeted him and still didn't say a word. I stood there for about 2 minutes (felt like forever) and waited for him to say something, but instead, he left to the back, that's when I realized it was time to go. If the costumer service would have been the way it started when I opened that door then for sure the food would of been disgusting, that I am sure of because if you have a sore and annoyed face the food would have been sore and disgusting. I hated the fact that my daughter was hungry and he saw me there with my child and could not give a greet, a smile or could you give me a minute. Definitely was not busy, like a said 2 ladies came in before us that's it. read more

Great food, great hole in the wall. Limited self serve seating, don't expect table-side service & place your order up front. Takeout is always an option, and if you're in a hurry I'd suggest it-- otherwise I'm a bit shocked it's so unknown in town; hopefully the full menu spread helps others discover it. read more

I love stopping in to this "hole in the wall." The food amazing, always prepared fresh, and the owner is super friendly. He introduced me to Baleadas and I get at least one with every order. It's my go to place in Olney. read more

El Catrachito Restaurant De Olney - Bean Pupusa - Honduran Near Me - Olney, Maryland

Very good Honduran food. Pleasant bilingual service. Above average presentation, especial considering the very casual decor. Three 4-tops (that seat three persons) and three 2-tops. 4 picnic tables outside. Order at the counter. This (Olney) is one of several locations. I had basic fare: a cheese Pupusa and Honduran deep fried tacos. They did not disappoint. I saw another fancier dish that some other customer had ordered which looked delicious. Prices are reasonable in this post-Covid, high interest time. read more

We get carryout because this place is small. Favorites are tamales and a sandwich starting with B that spellchecker insists is BALLAD. Everything is freshly cooked and delicious. read more

Very good Food at a reasonable price. The location is right on Georgia Avenue. You can dine in which has about 5 tables as well as carry out. We opted to dine in for lunch. The staff are very nice and accommodating that also help explain what things are if you are not familiar. We ordered the platanos, pasteles de pollo, papusas, and chicken tacos. Everything came out quickly and was cooked to perfection. The platanos were done perfectly and soft which is what we prefer. The pasteles were very good and I really enjoyed the cabbage slaw and sauce that came with it. I really liked the papusas, they had a lot of flavor and were cooked perfectly. I recommend asking for the spicy sauce if you like heat, it adds a nice touch. The tacos were very good and extremely stuffed full of meat and topped with an avocado slice. The tortillas were very fresh and very flavorful. We will definitely be coming back here to try new things on the very large menu. read more

He comido un par de veces en este restaurante, almuerzo y desayuno, todo es rico muy buena cocina! Lo recomiendo

All the portions are huge and the prices are more than reasonable. The food was absolutely amazing. Would recommend over and over!

I love this place. Their pupusas are amazing. The staff is friendly and the dinning area is welcoming. You must give this place a go !!!

My kids are hard to please. They liked the food there. We had the spicy shrimp tacos ( the spicy sauce was served on the side), Pollo Tajadas ( fried chicken without breading covered with coleslaw in their special sauce all over fried green plantains), Pollo Guisado (served similar to Pollo Tajada but the chicken wasn't fried and a different sauce for the chicken), Baleada Catracha ( a flat bread filled with beans and cheese). Our least favorite was the Pollo Guidado. This place has primarily food from Honduras which we have never had before. We will be back to try other dishes. read more

Awesome papusas!!! Fell in love with Mexican Coca Cola there!!! My new fav local place for papusas.

Highly recommended, authentic Central American food with homemade tortillas and all the fixings. We had the "parillada familiar" for two that was a veritable feast, with shrimp, beef, chicken, and sausage prepared fajita style surrounded by tomato and onions and topped with two succulent peppers. We will going back for more. read more
