Had a group of eight people. We were all very pleased. A plus cuisine for B price. It's a husband and wife who seems to be in charge of everything . Consequently it's not fast service but every plate was warm. A very pleasant dining experience.
Delicioso!!!! Tastes just like grandma's recipes.
New place South American cuisine lots of homemade meats and veggies. Delicious!! Small, it will catch on and will get crowded. Friendly husband and wife dream
Hard workers. You won't be disappointed!

Exquisite, delicious, and expertly prepared Guatemalan food. Expect the unexpected and leave very satisfied and happy. We loved the elotes, guacamole, dobladas, and chuchitos as our appetizers. Our entrees for our party of five were: Pepian (chicken breast served in an out of this world pumpkin seed sause), Kak'ik (lean turkey cubes in a red chili sauce - perfect for those on a clean, Paleo diet), Carnitas (fried pork pieces with handmade corn tortillas and several sauces and garnishes to go with it), and Steak Catalina's with a pickled beet relish that we just LOVED!! All of the dishes were delicious and our party of five enjoyed everything. The restaurant also has vegan and vegetarian items - the kitchen is very accomodating in this respect. Since we ordered several appetizers some of us in our group couldn't finish their dinner entree so we did have to ask for a takeout box. And guess what? Not only is the food five stars, five diamonds, but their to go containers and drink cups are biodegradable and compostable! Talk about being eco friendly! Not only do you feel so good eating this delicious, very healthy food but you feel so good that this restaurant cares about the environment as well! We are DEFINITELY coming back and leaving room for dessert next time! Give this restaurant a try and prepare to be blown away by unique, authentic Guatemalan food.
Very quaint, lovely restaurant. Server was very polite and friendly. My first time eating Guatemalan food and I was very pleased. Best fresh squeezed lemonade ever too! 😊
Great food and friendly staff. The chef/owner took our order and then cooked us one of the best/freshest meals I've had in NOLA. I will be back to this place on the reg. Grest addition to uptown
For an appetizer we got the chicken dobladas. Straight 🔥. Very good appetizer. It's served on a bed of shredded lettuce. I would go back just to eat two servings of this. For an appetizer, I had the pescado which was trout (rainbow, I think). It's super tasty and presented well. It came with a salad, and a verde and roja salsa. The person I was dining with had the turkey stew. I had a few bites of it and I immediately regretted my decision to get the pescado. The stew was a real treat. It had such a complex flavor and it was hearty.
Fabulous experience. Chef came right out and explained options for GF and vegetarian incase. I personally had and would recommend the ceviche, and the churasco. Both were meticulously prepared and the fresh ingredients were noticeable. I would recommend Catalino’s to anyone. Period.
Amazing food! Amazing service! Family owned home made Latin food. This is definitely a must try NOLA restaurant. I'll definitely be going back very soon!
Stopped in for a late afternoon snack. Impressed with the quality of the food, all fresh and tasty. The restaurant is beautifully decorated...interesting mix of light fixtures. Large colorful art works by a local Mexican artist. Works are signed Leal Art.
Andre's Hoyes, our server recommended Ceviche and Dobladas. Both were very well seasoned allowing the flavors of the ingredients to shine. Our food was delivered by Chef Hugo Vasquez who is from Guatemala. He was interested and proud of the restaurant.
Currently they do not have a liquor license. You are welcome to BYOB. We had a virgin lime Margarita and a mango fresca.
Me encanta! My Spanish class took a field trip to Catalino’s and the food and service was perfect. Alejandro, our waiter, entertained us as we struggled through ordering in Spanish and the food was awesome! The Kak’ik is amazing and we were surprised with a dessert of rellenitas. Gracias a ustedes! Vamos a volver :)
Very delicious, fresh and flavorful food. The flavor comes from each ingredient itself rather than packing it down with seasoning. Very memorable would definitely go back again.
Wondeful, friendly Service. Best Guatemalian Cuisine around here. Glad we came. Aguas Frescas were delicious, chuchitos were on point, elotes locos were so tasty.
Great food ..wonderful service. Authentic Guatemalan food. Looks as good as it tastes. Will definitely be coming back!
Excellent dining experience and tasty food. Our group of 12 had a lovely evening. Highly recommend!
I absolutely loved the art work and stained glass windows. The food was outstanding! Great atmosphere and lovely waitress!
Awesome food 💯 awesome staff 💯👌🏻 I'm very happy that a Guatemalan restaurant is in Nola and not only Honduras restaurants. It feels like I'm home again.

A fabulously fresh gluten-free restaurant with always great food. Not a place to go in a rush but it's worth the wait.
