Catalina Mexican Kitchen — Restaurant in Sunrise Manor

I don't believe these reviews are true. When I first walked in there were 2 guys in the kitchen making orders and neither acknowledged me standing there. After standing there for about 5 mins a nice young lady greeted me and asked to take my order. I asked her if the dining area was open because it was kinda dark and no one was there. She indicated that it was, so my famand I sat down. I went back to the counter to place our orders. We had nachos, a burrito and a taco. I asked the young lady of the nachos came with beans, she said no, I said great no beans. The food came out promptly and it was hot. Everything tasted good, but to our surprise there were beans on the nachos! I preceeded to the counter and was met by the young who apologized. She asked if we wanted the nachos remade, I said yes. She came back and said that the kitchen staff, the 2 guys would not remake without purchase. They were not willing to make up for their mistake, so I had to give them a one! If they had took accountability for the mistake they...

Alright friends, listen up! If you're cruising around Vegas and your stomach starts doing the cha-cha for some authentic Mexican flavor, you HAVE to hit up Catalina Mexican Restaurant on Nellis.

First off, props to Sol & Paulina, who've been keeping the kitchen HOT for a year now, and big ups to founder Allan who was visiting from AZ! Word on the street is they're opening a second location soon!

The carne asada fries? Forget about it! YUM! Then came dessert and, oh my! The arroz con leche was creamy and comforting, the fresas con crema were sweet and dreamy, and the churros? Crispy, sugary perfection. Plus, they've got breakfast, a drive-thru, combo plates, and even stuff for the kiddos. Seriously, what's...

UPDATE: I went and ordered the 5 rolled taco supreme and asked for no pico de gallo. I got home and found that they put the rolled tacos on top of lettuce, sour cream and guacamole, normally this stuff goes on top or to the side. The tacos were gross and soggy and it was loaded with pico de gallo, what makes them Supreme is they have carne asada on top, there was very little carne asada to speak of. The service was still great at the drive thru but if you get the rolled tacos be specific on how you want them and hope for the best. 🤞

The service was wonderful, the food was amazing and the restaurant was very clean despite the area it's in. We got the monster birria burrito and a supreme carne asada burrito, both were delightful. We will be returning to try more of their...
