Customer Reviews
Mixed Experience – Great Live Music, But Room for Improvement This restaurant offers a mixed experience. One of the highlights is definitely the live music, which creates a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. It adds a special touch to the evening and makes the visit feel more unique. However, the interior design could use some improvement — it’s not particularly stylish or inviting. The service was okay, though not very attentive. Staff seemed a bit distracted at times. As for the food, it was just average — nothing really stood out. It’s not bad, but also not something we’d come back for. Overall, it’s worth a visit if you enjoy live music and a relaxed vibe, but don’t expect too much from the food or décor.
A great option for amazing food in Catalina that is fresh, delicious, and doesnt feel like you stumbled upon a tourist trap. The roasted corn salad with steak was very good, so were the buffalo wings (I got a side of reaper sauce which was good but not spicy-so what was it?!). The chips and guacamole was amazing and my wife loved her tacos. The bacon wrapped hot dog for my son was Ok. Overall, a very solid lunch!
Went here on a food tour and the drinks and the food came out really quick. I thought their Birria taco was great and so was there potato wrap. The drink was also really good.
The sit down process was fast. The wait for food was about 20 minutes. Chips and guacamole were good, salsa was like water. The shrimp tacos cost $24 for 3 and each taco only had two shrimps all filler rice and beans aight. Potato tacos were burnt and the carne asada taco’s were decent. No photo, I had a grilled cheese that was yummy. Would I comeback properly not. It’s mediocre food and unhappy staff that looked dirty.
My family visited this restaurant during our Catalina trip after passing by and seeing the delicious food and after the people endorsed the food and service we decided to stop. Jorge provided exceptional service and great recommendations! Definitely try their new guava margarita!! We will frequent this establishment anytime we’re on the island.
