The best atmosphere around the area thats why im giving 4 stars, but service has a lot to improve and food was generally nice (just the vegetarian burger wasn’t good).

We came to Catalina many times while staying in our Retiro apartment. The restaurant is conveniently located next to a park for children. They always had very cold beer and good wine. The food was excellent and Ingrid was always a delight!
