    Went here for breakfast. Husband and I had the breakfast burrito. Oh my goodness that was delicious! Fresh tortilla stuffed with scrambled egg, potatoes, cheese, and sautéed ham. One burrito would've been enough for the both of us! The place is adorable, very Dia de Muertos. Our food came out right away, fresh and delicious. Server very friendly and efficient. Absolutely worth it.

    My experience at this restaurant is limited to breakfast. Our hotel provided breakfast vouchers, and La Katrina was the spot for two of those morning. We were there to open the place at 8am both days. The man who waited on us was kind and professional. We ordered breakfast burritos and I had the more traditional pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. Food was fresh, hot and tasty right off the grill. Coffee is fine. If we're ever in Morro Bay for lunch, we'll definitely try out their heartier fare. Nice, honest place, which I hope will have great success.

    Fish tacos in the front and surf and turf burrito in the background!

    Staying at the hotel next door we decided to have dinner at La Katrina. I had fish tacos and my wife had the surf and turf burrito. Both of them were delicious! Very satisfied and we will be back!

    The hubs and I stopped in for Taco Tuesday in late October and we were so pleased we did! There seems to be a lot of taco options in the area, but this seems like the place to be. The staff was very pleasant and attentive, the prices were reasonable, and the food was very good! We opted for the special of the night which was 6 tacos - mix and match - we opted for el pastor, carne asade, and chicken. El pastor was the best, chicken could have stood a little more flavor. The chips & salsa was very good and we added guac which was very good! We definitely recommend!

    Shrimp Tacos

    Incredible lunch experience in Morro Bay. La Katrina offers an extensive menu ranging from breakfast to lunch to dinner and homemade desserts. We went with tacos. I ordered the shrimp tacos. My partner had carne asada tacos. The chipotle sauce was delicious and tangy on the grilled shrimp tacos. Just the right amount of onions & pico de gallo, cabbage as well rolled into soft flour tortillas. Asada cooked well and yummy. The beans & rice were satisfying as well. Chips & salsa included. They offer patio seating with umbrellas for shade. Dog lovers welcome on the patio. Great location. Friendly service. Look forward to trying other menu items, recommended by others, next time to broaden the experience. Morro Bay is a great town to stroll & visit. Shops & sights galore. Don't miss the nearby dog beach.

    So, got to check out La Katrina's several months ago & now back again! Will say, the food is good & I've yet to have anything bad from all the plates I've ordered. From Chile Relleno, Enchiladas, Taco, Burritos & so on. I will say that the Chile Relleno was my least favorite, but did like it. Was a little hard, almost like it was pulled too soon. All in all: Friendly service, quick, nice atmosphere & good food! Has been a steady go to of mine. Well worth the visit!

    Huevos Rancheros, excellent!
    Mark C.

    If you're a person that likes Huevos Rancheros then come and judge for yourself. My serving was excellent, there made the way that I like them! We also picked up a jar to go of their pickled peppers.

    Taco Salad

    I've posted before, but needed an update on how much we love this restaurant. First off, the service is excellent! Hector, Evelyn, Daniella and other staff (I haven't learned their names yet) provide top notch service. Everyone is attentive and checking on you throughout your meal. Isn't that why we enjoy going out to eat? The food is exceptional..,the carne asada dinner is my favorite, but everything we've had is sooo delicious! All the food is made in house except for flour tortillas. Don't even get me started on the beans lol. The ambiance is fun, lively and festive honoring one of the most endearing symbols of Day of the Dead with colorful fun decor in a spotless atmosphere. In good weather, the patio is nice and spacious with water bowls for your pets (maybe a pet menu someday?) There is plenty of parking too. If you're in Morro Bay give La Katrina a try. You will not be disappointed.

    Best chilaquiles ever.

    If you guys are on vacation like me and one authentic Mexican food visit this place. You will find a friendly face and a good welcoming. Excellent customer service by Wendy and friendly. I was very nervous in a place I have never been and she made it better for us. Thank you Wendy for your service. I will make sure to visit again.

    Relleno Dinner

    Had a GREAT meal here the other night! It really surprised me, because even though Morro Bay has many Mexican restaurants they are all just mediocre. The only halfway decent Mexican restaurant in our area has been La Palapa in Los Osos, for anything other than a burrito. But I must tell you...La Katrina is just as good if not better! I came here and ordered their chile relleno dinner and it was fabulous. The beans and rice were even very good. Such great flavor. And the ambience was fabulous too. Great decor that reminds you of la dia de los muertos with all of the skeleton characters. They also have a very cute bar. And the service was impeccable! I had my food in just a few minutes and while I was waiting, I nibbled on some great chips and salsa. The salsa wasn't hot, but it was spicier and tastier than most. It was an all around great meal and experience! Central Coast get out there and support this worthwhile restaurant! They are great and we don't want to lose them! Bravo!

One man at the cash register taking orders. You could read the menu behind him posted on the wall. Very basic options and the interior seating was at 1950s style linoleum kitchen tables and chairs. Probably bought at a flea market. We were crushed. I had a combo platter of one crispy carnitas taco at $23. Ground beef. Very basic and lacked flavor. Outrageous for over $20. Wife had two enchiladas a la carte, cheese and green at $13. Mush. At least we have our memories and hope that someone will come along to resurrect it into at least something close to what was.

The paint inside is a little tired and there's some cobwebs, etc. around but it still had a nice atmosphere. The chairs and tables are a bit tired, but ok. - The menu is pretty broad, and the prices seemed pretty reasonable. - My wife and I decided to split two different meals, the Al Pastor Burrito (which was served with a small salad) and the combo plate of Sofa and Chili Relleno. The portions on both dishes were really good, such that we took half the burrito home for later. The food was very tasty! - Service was just fine, although it was a pretty quiet time at lunch on a Thursday. Bottom line: This is a solid Mexican place, better than some in the area. We'll come back again, maybe to get take-out next time.

On a quick day trip on a Friday afternoon, we decided to give this place a try. No reservation and were promptly greeted and seated. Although we did not have a full bay view, we had a partial bay view. Some hits and misses with food and service. 1. Bowl of Clam Chowder (no bread bowls available). Chowder was piping hot and had nice pieces of clams (dad got a bit of clam shell..so be careful), celery and potatoes. The chowder was very creamy and not grainy or watery like other locations. I would definitely order again 5/5 2. Fish & Chips: Fresh Pacific cod, lightly breaded, served with house-made tartar sauce. Fish was fried to perfection. 5/5 3. Seafood Pasta: Linguini with jumbo prawns, fresh catch, Cajun cream sauce, garlic bread. Everything tasted fresh and seasoned perfectly 5/5 4. Side of Garlic bread: extremely disappointing. We ordered garlic bread with our chowder, it never came. Waitress decided to serve it with the mains (fish and chips) and we ordered for the entire table and she only brought 2 pieces. 5. Insalata Molina: Mixed greens, arugula, pear, walnuts, crumbled blue cheese, mango vinaigrette. Couldn't tell you if this was any good bc the waitress NEVER brought but charged us for it. She then takes it off the bill and brings me the salad in a Styrofoam container. I told her I didn't want it and put it in my bag. Salad was so soggy (which means the kitchen prepared it and the waitress forgot to serve it) I would not order and do not recommend ordering it bc it was the size of a side salad definitely not worth the price point. 6. Mocktail Lavender lemonade: definitely not balanced, was pretty tart and again the price point was off. It was about 8oz lemonade for $12 They do offer a nice selection of wines. Restrooms are located outside the restaurant and are public restrooms, pretty dirty and out of stock. Although our service was a big miss, I do recommend the food items we ordered. I did take a star off due to the service.
