We hit this place up on the recommendation of others. The wait staff was friendly and prompt but I was not happy with the fish offerings. While it was plated beautifully it was over cooked and and dry. The rice on the other hand is where this place shined. It was very flavorful and definitely worth trying. We had the Katrina Rice and the yellow rice that had a sofrito mixed in... I'd try this place again but not for the fish.. read more

Good location. Private parking. Tostones and camarones al ajillo were really good. Good service but recommended to go so hungry expecting to have the food served too fast. Paella "for one person" is really good and serves even for three! Enjoy! read more

I was on vacation and my uncle recommended this restaurant. We stopped in and had a wonderful experience with the staff and the food was amazing. I had a steak and the "Katrina" rice (which I can't stop thinking about since I returned home). The food was competitive with the area. read more

This was just a great find. Staff, food and atmosphere were just what I was looking for. The red snapper chillo and mofongo yuca were just fabuloso. Chased down by a super cold Medalla. read more

Let me start by saying the food and portions were good, just the service was super slow. It's a nice place in a popping part of town, so parking can be a little tricky since their lot fills up pretty fast. Try and find street parking a little further away and walk if you don't want to deal with a ton of crowds and traffic. The environment is cool, open aired with a lot of fans and wooden tables and chairs. We had an English speaking waiter who helped us through the menu. He suggested the red snapper and the paella, and so we ordered both with some fried pork (they were out of the marlin). The paella was really good, but the red snapper was only OK. The portions were great, but the only thing hindering them was the slow service - we waited probably 40 or so minutes to get our food, and then didn't have our waiter return for another 40. read more

The fried red snapper was so good! It was tender and very tasty. They give you limes and I squeezed and added to the fish. I would definitely recommend. Make sure to wear mosquito spray since you will be sitting outside and I was bitten. read more

Katrina's - Fried red snapper fish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dorado, Puerto Rico

A friend of mine introduced me to his friend who is a local. He asked us if we wanted to eat somewhere by the beach or at a different restaurant- of course we wanted to dine by the beach! We ordered the shrimp soup with tostones, churrasco with mofongo yuca, lechon with yellow rice, and mofongo. The food took a long time to arrive...even our drinks took a while to come. You can hear Latin music playing outside and they have some kind of souvenir shop attached to it. I noticed some seating in front of the bathrooms, which was nice if you just want to lounge. The food was delicious and I enjoyed everything. The only downside is the wait for your order... read more

Fuimos un domingo en la tarde un grupo de cinco personas. La mesera llamada Sarina fue muy amable y conocedora de los platos que venden. Pedimos de aperitivos Sorullitos de maíz y croquetas de bacalao. Los cuales estaban muy buenos. De los cinco platos ordenados,uno no cumplió con las expectativas debido a que estaba salado. Los otros cuatro platos estaban buenos. El lugar es muy acogedor y está muy bien localizado. read more

Food was good, ambiance was really good and service was nice as well. We went eating street food the day before, (chinchorreando as Puerto Rican's call it), and we did not taste the difference between this place and way less expensive food in smaller places. Perhaps it is location and service what makes this place 3 times more expensive than the same tasty food elsewhere. read more

Katrina's - Guisado Rice - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dorado, Puerto Rico

There is great customer service here, very friendly staff. It was my first time in town and wanted to try something different, they helped me navigate the menu and even made a few recommendations. I had some fish which wasn't the best, along with some beans and rice which tasted great. read more

Food was mediocre. Sides were not fresh. Only thing that we enjoyed was the flan con queso. Wouldn't really recommend.

The food here was just fantastic. We ate in once and got carry out a couple days later. If you decide to dine in make sure you aren't in a hurry, it did take a little while. I would highly recommend the mofongo with chicken and the chicken empanadillas. Our kids loved the rice and beans as well. This was some of the best food we ate on our trip to PR. Update: a year later this was still our favorite food in PR. We stayed in a different area of the island on this trip but drove an hour just to eat at Katrina's. read more

Great place to eat in Dorado. Katrina's rice and beef empanadas are delicious. The place is very cute inside and there is a gift shop where you can purchase local hand made items. Pina coladas are yummy! read more

Great food, but slow service. (3.5 stars) Got out of San Juan to check out other parts of Puerto Rico. We were driving around and found ourselves in Dorado and decided to park and grab lunch. We ordered lobster and shrimp empanadas. The lobster was a little fishy, and the shrimp was good. We got another round of beer since it was a really long wait for our entrees. We got red snapper and sweet plantains, and Mahi Mahi with rice and beans, and both came with creole sauce. The creole sauce was delicious, and it was worth the wait. It was a crowded Sunday afternoon, and there was a long wait before our entrees arrived. So that's island life. read more

This was a busy spot on a Friday night. The young lady at the entry was not welcoming but we figured she may not want to be working tonight. The drinks were very good. We had a blue margarita, couple of pina coladas and couple of parcha mojitos. I had the mofongo with camarones which was decent. My family had the churrasco and the specialty mamposteao rice. The churrasco was dry. The mamposteao rice was delicious. The server Angela was very attentive and easy to talk to. Overall I give them four stars for the drinks since we were able to taste the alcohol and for Angela's service. read more

We ordered the Snapper stuffed with shrimp. Outstanding. And no less outstanding, and more so, in comparison to everyone else's, Katrina's rice and beans is just the best and served me well - twice. I reheated it for breakfast with an over easy egg. It was the best thing I'd never had before! P.S. I will take any hints for recreating those rice and beans. read more

I can't review the food because I did not stay long enough. After being seated for 20 minutes, no staff came to our table. However they did take orders from several people who arrived after us. The restaurant is full of energy- loud cars pass nearby, families with children. Our tabletop was broken, so even if we did manage to get our food, it would fall off! The staff clearly knew that this was a problem and seated us there. There are many better options in Dorado. read more

Erick was a great waiter and great for giving suggestions on what to eat, and great location by the beach read more

Katrina's - Great place and Erick was my waiter - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dorado, Puerto Rico

Stopped by here for dinner while vacationing in PR. First off, this restaurant is situated on a cute little strip in Dorado where there are a few restaurants and bars. We chose this one based on a recommendation as well as the yelp rating. The food was delicious. We had shrimp mofongo, one in criolla sauce and the other in garlic sauce. The criolla was hands down the better sauce. They gave us a complimentary seafood broth in a small cup. Flavorful but too fishy for my taste. I tried the piña colada as a drink and it was the absolute worst version I've ever had. Not exaggerating. It tasted like coconut milk with ice. Not even the whipped cream could save it. I returned it and asked for parcha juice instead which was a bit bitter. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice. It's all outdoors but covered by an awning overhead, so technically you're not outside. There's also a free parking lot a few feet away. read more

Oh wow! Just WOW!!! We had the Katrina's rice (small was HUGE), the mariscos mafongo in creole sauce, and the garlic butter lobster mofongo. The food was ABSOLUTELY DIVINE!!! And, the portions were enormous!! Our server Muñiz was wonderful and kind. We didn't think the food took long especially for the quality (like 15-20 min). We will definitely recommend this place to all we can and be back! read more

Good food but the sangria and mojitos need some work. Most places were closed early but they had friendly service and reasonable prices. Note that the location is further west than where yelp says it is. read more

Staff was slow and uncompetitive. Food was a over a hour and was luke warm , Manger tried to tell me some of food was hot, but plate was hot but food was warm. Told them not happy ,they tried to say they would fix it but I was starving and did not have another hour to wait. read more

Great place! Reasonable priced. Service ok. Higly recommended. The only issue that we had was that we were advised by the waiter that the food was gonna take about an hour to come out, but really took about 35 minutes! All fresh and recently cooked!!!! Ther waiter, (forgot to catch her name) was very attentive and took good care of our party (4) despite the room been full! read more

Yesterday they tried charging us $70.00 for two skirt steaks. I pointed it to the waitress that the price on the menu was $21.99. She responded price's Gad give up. I requested to speak with the manager. Ms. Veronica Vargas approached me and wanted to give me a dissertation on the world pandemic , therefore the change in por ice. Even after showing her the menu price she kept arguing that prices were up but they did not have time to change in the menus. It seems this is what is their way of business, especially if you are English speaker. She is a very bad model fir her employee. She was rude, unprofessional and disrespectful! Good was not that great either. Do not go there! read more

We came here for lunch on a Sunday and were able to get seated easily. They had a parking lot reserved for their customers which was very helpful as the street parking was very full with people going to the beach. The staff was very friendly -- they brought us each a small sample of fish broth once we were seated. The Katrina rice grande was VERY large. It could easily have served two and it was very good. The empanada that I had was very good; I didn't care as much for the mofongo but since this is the only place I tried it, I can't say if that was due to the preparation here or just that it's not my thing. There were some filled plantain rolls from the appetizer menu that one of us had that looked really good. A good place to eat right off the beach. read more

I'm hoping that I can come back and visit this place and give it five stars... But I came here for lunch one day and sadly... I could only give it three stars. The service, it was great! The food... Was very limited. I thought for a seafood restaurant, they would have more grilled and baked options, but everything is fried, and in my opinion, fried it does not equal healthy. So, if you're looking for deep fried Plaintain's or mofongo, you will find it here. If you want mahi-mahi drenched in butter sauce, you will find it here. But if you're looking for a nice grilled option of something healthy with some veggies on the side you will not find it here. read more

¡Cuidado! ¡Revisen el papel de la orden antes de pagar! Este restaurante tiene sus puntos buenos y malos. Fui con mi familia y la familia de mis dos concuñados. Todos ordenamos y la comida salió una hora después. Yo fui el segundo en ordenar, ordene el Maji-maji todos recibieron su comida menos yo. Pese que porque era pescado se tardaba más. Después una mesera me pregunto que fue lo que ordené y se fue. La mesera principal vino y me dijo que mi orden fue entregado a otra persona en la mesa y ella ya se lo había comido y que me lo iban hacer pronto. Yo respondí que estaba bien. Pero ello sirvieron a las otras mesas sus comidas. Durante todo este tiempo el mesero no había dado las bebidas a nuestras mesas. Tube que preguntar por las bebidas dos veces antes de que ellos empezaron a traerlas. Escuché a una mesera preguntar en otra mesa quien ordenó el Maji-Maji y el cliente dijo yo. Para este tiempo ya todos las personas en los tres grupos avian terminado de comer. Y yo apenas avía recibido mi primera copa después de dos horas. Pedí mi cheque y tuve que pedir que me quitaran mi orden de mi check. Nadie más que yo fui el único que ordene el Maji-maji entre los tres familias y los tres recibos tenían el Maji-maji. La mesera principal fue a mi sobrina a preguntar le que fue lo que ella comió, y ella dijo pollo. Yo vi también que ella comió pollo. Pero ellos insistieron que ella se comió el Maji-maji. Pero en realidad dieron mi plato de comida a otra mesa que no estaba con nuestra familia. Pienso que si los meseros se equivoca, la casa debe tragarse el costo. read more

Came here because of the great ratings and reviews...not worth waiting an hour and 42 min for your food. I get that food is made to order, but we ordered a soup and fried pork bites off the menu...nothing out of the ordinary. There were two other tables and a man at the bar - so, the restaurant was not full. And how is it other tables that came after us got served their food first? If I could give zero stars I would. read more

We went hear twice with a lot of family. (16 people) it's not fancy but nice enough inside . It's open air so it can get hot and or "buggy" inside. In fact they offer bug spray. The first night I got a shrimp mofongo. It was ok but didn't like the sauce too much. The Tostones are good and my niece enjoyed her garlic shrimp. Most people seemed slit down the middle of liking and disliking their dishes. The most annoying thing are the fans that blow in your face while eating . That and service PAINFULLY SLOW. We were a large group but still had to wait forever for everything. Even when we were done both nights took 45 mins at least to receive our check. Maybe would give one more chance. read more
