   We’ve been looking for a good tapas place in the neighborhood for years. Really happy that Catalina opened. We had the chorizo in red wine, camerones de ajillo, steak cap & stuffed pork. Would order everything again but maybe not the pork. We will be back to surf the rest of the menu. Good diversity of offerings for cocktails and wine as well. Love the Essential Water from Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷

   The food was amazing. We tried four dishes and loved them all. The service was great and our waiter was very knowledgeable. Would recommend if you’re in the area.

   It has a great concept, but service and food dispatch were off tonight. We left without getting all the tapas that were ordered.

   Catalina is a total vibe and I recommend going for drinks. We went for a date night and we are not drinking alcohol right now so they made us 2 nice mocktails. It took 20 minutes to get water and for them to take our drink order. We ordered olives, papas bravas, garlic shrimp, aranchaga soup, ham manchego croquettes. The croquettes showed up first after an hour, we were surprised they didn't actually have any ham in them but they were good. The garlic shrimp and soup showed up about 15 minutes later and were overcooked and the soup is chicken broth with egg and ham, not very good but maybe some people like it. The olives showed up when we were ready to leave even though they just get scooped onto a bowl. The papas bravas never showed up and were not on the bill. So service isn't great and the food is lack luster. Would go back for the great atmosphere and drinks. Skip the food or atleast the items we chose.

    This place is STUNNING! Everything is beautiful and intentional. We went for my birthday and had amazing service and great recommendations on food. I have seen people complain about the plate sizes , but my partner and I can eat and we were perfectly satisfied off of 3 shared plates. ( I think some people don’t know how to order properly??) anywho we only have great things to say! Go try it!
