About Catalina's Mexican Restaurant

Catalina's is known for their aircraft carrier-sized platters of coma-inducing food. Since Catalina's does the Baja seafood thing so well, I like to order a couple of freshly made fish tacos. The fish is grilled and served with a heat-packing red salsa. They also make a mean beef taco, using the superior shredded beef instead of ground beef. Or try a torta, a delicious sandwich built on fresh baked bread featuring things like ham, eggs, and fresh avocado. Make mine to go!

If you like real Mexican food, this is the place you've been searching for. I grew up a few hours from the Mexican border, and i know good Mexican food and this place is the only place in town that serves it up properly. The tortillas alone are worth the trip. All the food is made from scratch, the salsa is great, and the portions are generous. We've tried the beef and chicken, and they have one of the largest vegetarian selections I've seen at a Mexican place. We also grab their huge and awesome $4.50 burritos for take out all the time. No matter what part of town you're in, Catalina's is worth the trip.

In Short - A big-screen TV and jukebox full of Spanish-language hits in the bar draws cowboy hat-sporting Latinos and other locals taking advantage of happy hour specials; the dining room is usually packed with families. House-made tamales stuffed with chicken, shredded beef or vegetables and covered with slightly sweet ranchero sauce are arguably the best in town. Fish dishes are divine, especially the avocado garnished seafood cocktail, whole fried tilapia and the pleasantly tart Ceviche.

    This place just sucks. The customer service is just plain rude and the food is greasy. No wonder its cheap. The drive thru orders everyone in the restaurant can hear is just tacky. Get a headset!
