    For our monthly dinner at new restaurants each time, Catalú was among the best ones we’ve been to. The food was wonderful, the atmosphere nice and the service great! We would definitely be back!

    First time, great experience. Planning to come back sometime. Had sangria flight, pan con tomate y manchego, beets salad, croquettes, ceviche. Pan con tomate with manchego is a must try.

    it’s our first time. We decided to order a variety of tapas for the 2 of us. We shared the patatas bravas with the pulpo that was very good. The croquetas did not have enough ham taste but had a nice bechamel. The steak with blue cheese sauce was good also. The frozen sangria was excellent and has a nice presentation. The best dish was the Rabo (oxtail) which was tender, rich and absolutely delicious. The crema Catalina is nothing like what you would expect but very good. It’s more like a whipped creamy cream with orange taste on a bed of graham cracker. Different but good! I wish them luck

    We had excellent food. I wanted to lick the bowl the mussels came in. The paella was delicious. Service was great and we were greeted right away and the host staff was very friendly.

    Food was just okay. The paella was mid, not enough seafood on it. Tapas were small for the price and vs other resturant options. Service was not good

    The food was OK. I felt like it was overpriced. If you have not had tapas before, and this is your first experience, you wouldn’t know any different. I’d say it is average. The restaurant is noisy.

    The environment gives sitting in someone's house. We arrived early so really quiet, but as the space filled up, it gets loud with the high ceiling. Beautiful food, serving pieces, even the bill carrier. Food was delicious and different.

    Each time we eat at Catalú we’re impressed by the quality of the food and service. Now that the weather is warmer, the outdoor seating makes the dining experience even better.
