Mi Casita

"Nice Mexican restaurant near the cruise port to get some good food and drinks. The atmosphere is nice and windows open up to the street to bring in the cool breeze. The shrimp cocktail was a good size and menu prices are not extremely high. The bathroom could use a renovation but are functional. The restaurant layout is a bit awkward and compartmentalized yet open. There is also a bar area if you prefer just grabbing a drink. The margaritas are served in a good sized glass and also reasonably priced."

"Had a really awesome lunch here, the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful I love the big windows and vibe of the restaurant. Very cool decor! Servers were very friendly as well. ☺️"

"Just to note, I eat a lot of Mexican food and I'm from southern California, specifically San Diego. The food was decent. I had the panela chicken, my GF got the carne asada burrito. We ended up getting the "locally famous cazuela" cocktail which was meh. Tasted more like squirt soda than anything else. It's enough for 3 people just as an FYI. We went in January during the slow season where everything is pretty much shutdown or not opening again until February. The vibe is nice. Very classic Mexican restaurant with good music. The staff was friendly and nice. Some small things that did bother me though is that their cocktail menus had no prices. They charge extra if you decide to share a dish. They even charge if you don't finish all your food and need a to go box. I'm used to going to Mexican restaurants where their chips and salsa are free and they charge $5 for that as well. Also, if you're not used to Catalina Island, they also charge for water. Overall, all the extra charges were off putting which makes me not want to go back. However, if you're in a pinch, you can get a decent meal."

"What a nice attentive staff. Pretty, authentic, tasteful Mexican motif. The food was delicious. Great place to stop in Avalon!"

"Service wasn't super friendly, food was bland and overpriced (touristy area obviously). The bees flying around everywhere are annoying, you have to pay for chips and salsa, only get one free beverage refill, and if you wanted to share a meal they charge you $5 to do so, they also don't even have cheese dip (what kind of Mexican Restaurant doesn't have that?!?) Our waitress argued with the party right next to us and was very unaccomodating. They asked to have a drink remade and was told that they had a good bartender and if she wanted it remade she would have to charge for another one, if she didn't like that then she could leave. I would expect more friendly and accommodating behavior from a touristy place such as a restaurant on Catalina Island, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant."
