Additional Information

Though strip malls are typically considered inauspicious locales that are only good for dry cleaners and nail salons, every once in a while, one will come along and surprise you. Emerging from what was once an often-looked-over strip, Catalina’s breathed shiny new life into the space, transforming it into a gateway to the other Americas. Experience this bold South and Central American cuisine with today’s deal of $20 worth of eats for just $10.  

Founded by Catalina Duran and Lucia Vogel, this City Pages Best of the Twin Cities Award-winning restaurant for Best Central/South American Restaurant focuses on a tight menu of Honduran cuisine and Mexican staples. Favorite eats include the succulent, fall-of-the-bone Mixiotes (barbecued chicken in a Mexican stew), the Pastelillos de Carne and the Casamiento, a tasty mixture of rice, beans, cilantro, and chicken, served ringed with orange slices with a side of fresh, hot tortillas. But there are also your favorite standbys like great renditions of chiles rellenos, enchiladas verdes, freshly fried chips and a trio of homemade salsas. Also, incredible Horchata spiced, Jicama, and Tamarind drinks.
