The green sauce is incredibly fresh and flavorful -- the kind that makes you realize how much you've been settling for elsewhere. And the refried black beans? I had never had refried black beans before in my life, and these were hands-down the best beans I've ever eaten. I didn't know beans could hit like that. I cannot wait to order from here again. Catrina's is the real deal.

Good afternoon... We…read morebrought our dad and family over for the first time.. Note : food will come out in 20 to 30m . Food Is amazingly delicious no problem. We order birria, 3 plate entry ,ceviche food is amazing.. we recommend it!!!! The waitress was very attentive thank you The reason for the 4 stars is because inside it feels so hot . The big fan was off , a/c was not working . You can feel the heat from the kitchen.. We would like to come back but please have this fix Bad business. Thank you

I have come to this restaurant many many times over the past three decades, and just realized I had…read morenever ever done a review. It was time! I always ordered the same thing the Aji de Galina - when I walked in on this hot Friday afternoon, I was looking for a terrific lunch - imagine my surprise when I showed up and it wasn't that busy at lunchtime? What the heck! This place used to be packed at lunch lunchtime! I was seated quickly, ordered my drink, and ordered my entrée! While I was waiting, I took a look around. It was a nice restaurant - still the service was very prompt and good - why wasn't it busier? Huh. A big surprise to me. Needless to say? When the food came, I was pleased that it tasted exactly the same as I remember - excellent. I got a small bowl of chicken soup, and my entrée was fantastic and plentiful with lots of chicken the way I like it! I can't really say I'll come again and you should too because I know I will come again! But this place is worth a stop if you want to try good food at reasonable prices. Check it out and let me know what you think!

It's definitely more convenient than the Lawndale location, if you ever lands in LAX.

She's a huge reason why we go back. The food is consistently good, and the place is clean. Everyone does a good job here. Ordering is easy. And if you have questions, just ask. Take your pick of wings or tenders with a nice selection of flavors. You can't go wrong with the parmesan wings, but I prefer the burger with their wild fries (so good!). You have to get wild fries! End your meal with churros and ice cream or brownies for dessert.

My buddy gave them a call and put in the order and I went to go pick it up. Everything was neatly packaged and the people were very friendly. Since I didn't eat there, I couldn't really experience the atmosphere. The place was clean and they have some TVs which were playing the football games we were watching.

This time we dined inside. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the caprese panini with a fresh side salad and the beef burger with french fries. The pannini was large and full of flavor and the burger was loaded with condiments fried onions, lettuce, tomato and pickles. The fries were hot and crunchy. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center and clean restrooms. This location has a full bar and many big screen televisions with some sort of sporting event playing. Know they have a large selection of menu items many of which we have tried. Their pizzas, salads and Italian options have been very enjoyable in the past.

You can eat there, get it to go or have delivery. The place is old, but well maintained and really cute. They make you feel at home there. The service is great. They are fast and your meal is served hot and perfect. It has the best Mexican food in Manhattan beach. Parking can be a bear, but you will fine a spot on the street. You may need to walk uphill a bit. It is right next to the Manhattan Beach Pier and there are great places to walk. The food is amazing. We love all of it, but their enchiladas with rice and beans are the best and they make a great burrito. They also have super guacamole and their beverage selection is great. They do not have a full bar. We love this place.

This place gets two stars from me because the food is actually good. If I'm ever in the area, I…read morewill literally have a taste for it. So like yesterday, I decided to stop by and grab a burrito, but unfortunately, this will be the last time. I usually visit this location with my dad. He's been coming to this location since before I was born and I'm damn near 40. But this time I came alone and the place was packed. They don't have a big seating area. It's like a bar with about four seats to the right and four seat seats to the left so it doesn't accommodate many people, so people order to go. And that was my plan. I walk in and the server (with his chef at and money taped to it) and I grab the same menu. He allows me to have it, and he grabs another and gives it to one of the customers. I say all this to say that he definitely knows exactly when I arrived. However, A white man walks up less than a minute later and for some reason he decides to ask him if he ready to order, as if I'm invisible. This was the second time that this happened to me today and God knows how many times has happened to me in life. So at some point, I just have to stop ignoring the fact that Black people aren't welcome in certain spaces. Maybe we are by law, but not at all met with respect! That is all!

Man I have nothing but good things to say. At first I was disappointed because they were out of so…read moremany menu Items but once I tasted the food and realized they closed in 45 minutes I knew why... The food is that good! It sells out and is not "premade". I go to Hawaii twice a year and this place is the best representation of the food I've experienced on the mainland. The perfect amount of flavor without forgetting that core Hawaiian food is for the people and not some excuse for over priced and over worked fusions. I don't know what to recommend because we tasted everything on the menu just about and nothing was lacking except the soda machine lol. My next visit to LA will include a meal here. I should have taken a photo but none of it was left after we ate lol.

Food was pretty good. But what really ruined the experience was the fact they were missing more…read morethan half the items on their Menu. Came here wanting to order Combo Plate (Forgot the exact Name) but it came with 4 types of Meat. Only to find out they only had 2 out of the 4, so they suggested to replace it with Kalua Pig. Since I expecting a 4th Meat, I asked for Chicken Katsu to be the 4th and then was told that they can't use that since it came in different Plate. Then when it came to ordering a Musubi, I wanted to try their Portugese Sausage Musubi. To only find out they didn't have that either. And yet again, this same issue came up when it came to ordering a Drink. No Hawaiian Sun Cans were available and their Soda Machine only offered Sprite and Water. Honestly, with them missing nearly 75% of their Menu.. why was this establishment even Open for the day? The plate I ended up getting was fairly good, but ultimately this whole ordering experience really didn't make up for that.

My usual is the "I Ask for It" which has spicy turkey, pepperoni, and spicy andouille--everything to satisfy my inner spice demon. The store also has several non-spicy options, if that's also your speed. I like how they use Kaiser rolls for their bread--it's a fluffy, pillowy bread without a strong taste. So it stays out of the way, and allows the meats to shine!
