    Nice atmosphere and full of families which I love. I came on a Friday morning for breakfast and was pleased to see it fairly busy. Only one waiter but he managed all of us quite well. The mimosa was a bit sweet for my liking because they added grenadine to it. I ordered another one without grenadine and it was much better although I would have liked it more chilled. I ordered the eggs Benedict and they were okay but desperately needed salt. Had to go to another table to get some salt. I would have preferred the fruit option instead of potatoes but waiter didn't give me that option. When waiter brought me my food he asked if I needed anything else and I said "silverware". He came back a few minutes later and rudely placed them on my table without saying a word. Maybe it was a language barrier but I thought my waiter was bordering on rude.

    My son and I went here for a lunch, under his recommendation. I heard about it and wanted to give it a try. He had an omelette and potatoes and I had the churro French toast. Quite a departure from my usual savory dish. Everything was delicious and fresh. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable. Stop by and give them a try. Wide variety of Mexican and breakfast items to choose.

    The atmosphere was nice for a girls brunch I had with a friend. The music was not too loud . The service was good the staff kept checking in if we were ready to order and checked in on the quality of the food. I had the Española Omelette. The food was good and presented well on the plate. I think the amount of food for the price was great! I had a side of pancakes it came with too.

    Artistic new addition to the neighborhood. Beautiful decor. Nice Mexican music played at a background level for breakfast. Prompt, polite bilingual service, good hot Collectivo coffee. Great breakfast selections but I'm especially a fan of the oatmeal banana pancakes which I choose to believe are healthy.

    We checked this place out for breakfast and it was really good! I had the Espanola Omelette (subbed the sausage for chorizo) that comes with a side of seasoned red potatoes. It also comes with a choice of toast, pancakes, fruit or tortillas and I chose the pancakes which were delightful. The place is kind of split with one side as a bar and the other where most of the seating is. Service was great - she was so attentive and always made sure our coffee was refilled.

    The ample menu might leave you trying to decide among several good options, and based on our choices today, we can say you are likely to find good and tasty savory or sweet fare. I had the veggie fajitas, which was a very generous portion of everything, and my partner had the strawberry crepes. He enjoyed them and I also tried them and can confirm they were delicious. So, a few highlights: you can get breakfast fare until 4pm, and you can already get dinner options at 3pm. That overlap should keep your squad happy! Also, they have happy hours Wednesday to Sunday, so do check the margaritas and drinks menu for more details. The front patio is nice since there is a tree for some shade. The back patio wasn't open today, but that might be another great option for a balmy summer/fall evening. Nice service and reasonable prices given the hearty portions.

    If you're searching for your next favorite spot for authentic Mexican food, look no further than Catrina Cafe. The service here is truly exceptional--attentive without being intrusive, and every recommendation feels genuine and thoughtful. The ambience strikes the perfect balance between modern and traditional. Colorful murals line the walls, woven lanterns cast a soft glow over rustic wooden tables, and the upbeat music creates a lively, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to linger long after your meal. And the food was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back the very next day. Delicious food, amazing service, and a wonderful ambience--it's everything you could hope for in a dining experience. Highly recommended.

    Such an incredible restaurant! We absolutely love Catrina, they have wonderful tacos and drinks! We loved their appetizer La Vale Madre (so good!) and their homemade chips and salsa are awesome! The service is stellar, the wait staff are knowledgeable and attentive. It has a family friendly ambiance that we really enjoy.

My date had requested during the reservation to be seated by a window but they had us seated at a rounder and bigger table that felt a little goofy for two people to be seated in. But we asked our server, Aracely, if we would be able to move to the window seating and they helped arrange that for us. We decided to order the Crispy Fried Berkshire Pork Belly as our starter and the Grilled Whole Mediterranean Branzino and the Seafood Pappardelle as our main entrees. For drinks, we decided to get the cranberry kiss. Surprisingly, both of our dishes were pretty filling! The seafood Pappardelle, had lobster, scallops, shrimp, and octopus. It was on the heavier side, but the noodles that they paired with it, was absolutely amazing. The Branzino was nicely grilled, but wasn't dry on the inside.

For only $6, they serve a full sized portion which is one of the best values on the menu and an absolute steal for the quality you receive. The burger comes with caramelized onions, American cheese, crispy onions, au poivre sauce, garlic-herb aioli on a sesame milk bun (Note: one order per guest). From the happy hour menu, I also ordered the Halibut Fish Fry and the Shrimp Cocktail. The Shrimp Cocktail had a sweet and chili cocktail vinaigrette, which I really enjoyed. From the dinner menu, I had the Kale Cashew Caesar, Lobster Pot Pie, and the Ora King Salmon. To my surprise, the star of the show was the Kale Cashew Caesar, which staff recommended. What made this dish so special was the generous mound of shaved Gran Moravia piled on top, complemented by lemon breadcrumbs. The combination and texture was so fun to eat. The Lobster Pot Pie is offered at market price ($55 when I went). They give you generous chunks of butter-poached lobster tails, seasonal vegetables, lobster cream in their truffle puff pastry. The Ora King Salmon was also delicious. Salmon was cooked perfectly--light and moist. I enjoyed the black garlic gnocchi and the apple gastrique that came with this dish. I ended the night with their chai banana caramel creme brulee. I'll definitely be back for their happy hour and that Kale Cashew Caesar!

The only reservation we could get was 4:30PM but we were excited we were able to get in at any time. Because of the timing, the sun was setting over the water, which was really pretty to see. I got a little confused with where to enter the building and I guess I went in the wrong way because I walked down the dock and entered the back of the restaurant by the restrooms, lol. Barnacle Bud's had a cool decor vibe and moody lighting. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and you could tell she was very excited about the menu and the pop-up experience. She provided exceptional customer service- she went over the menu thoroughly, came back to check on us multiple times, and always refilled our water, which I always appreciate! To start, we ordered wine and the relish tray. Everything on the relish tray was a little too vinegary for me but most of the table enjoyed it. However, the four of us didn't finish it. It was pretty powerful with vinegar flavor. For an entree, I had the salmon with veggies and my friends ordered the lamb chops, carbonara, and a vegetarian friend ordered a plate of Bud's potatoes and veggies. The food was good but I thought mine was very salty. And I'm glad I ordered my sauce on the side. For dessert, the four of us shared the mousse, which had good flavor and texture. Also to note, there were up-charges for veggies, sauce was $3 extra, etc., so just pay attention to pricing if that's a concern for you. Overall, it was a unique experience and worth checking out.

Needless to say, it was crowded and lively, but our table was waiting for us and we were sat immediately.
