So as a party of 6, 3 adults 3 kids in haste to get some good food after touch down we decided to dine at Katrina's as it was recommended by a few locals. For one the tables are extremely sticky no matter how hard you wipe it, was a bit frustrating eating around them. The food left much to be desired. We ordered the snapper stuffed with seafood (which was really good the best thing we had there), mofongo in garlic sauce, shrimp and lobster tostones as appetizers and chicken tenders with fries for the kids. The mofongo was very hard and dry. The tostones were tasteless the shrimps tasted bad like frozen pre cooked shrimp. The service was excellent I don't remember our servers name however he was very helpful and attentive he had on a high school graduate shirt with glasses so I'm guessing he was fairly young but he was great ! read more

Awesome food. Went there twice it was sooo good. Everything freshly made. Great service. Across from the beach. Highly recommended. Vax card required. read more

My family and I Were trying to find a nice place to eat and fortunately we found Katrina! Everything was delicious and Francisco "Frankie", our server, was assertive suggesting the best of the menu. He was helpful and looking after every detail. We are definitely coming back! *** The Katrina's rice was yummy! read more

The portions are HUGE. Half a pound of marlin with SIDES for $8? That's ridiculous. I'm overjoyed. We go here CONSTANTLY for the red snapper broth. Out. Of. This. World. read more

This is a neat little place in dorado, and the service was great. Honestly, the only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it didn't feel like a local hangout. It seemed that all of the patrons were tourists. My favorite places to eat in Puerto Rico were local (non-touristy). I had the whole fried red snapper, and it was really good but not my favorite meal. Not the restaurants fault! Just my taste. The atmosphere here was great, and I would definitely go back. read more

This was a recommendation from our hotel. It was a quick 10 min cab ride from where we were stayed if in dorado. There are a lot of restaurants to choose from in the area, we went with Katrina's because of the extensive menu and that they had a live parrot. I guess things are a bit more quiet on Sunday evenings, because we didn't get to see the parrot! Very disappointed. My friend and I started with empanadas. One chicken, one beef. These are a must get- the meat filling was well seasoned and juicy. The pastry was puffy and crisp. For entrees we both had the churrasco steak and sides of mixed rice. My steak also came with shrimps in garlic sauce. The steak was very tender and cooked well. It just came out lukewarm, which for how slow service was this was annoying. The mixed rice is bomb.com!! So delicious. Overall a solid better for an authentic Puerto Rican meal. read more

This place is amazing. If you are in Puerto Rico and you want authentic food this is your place. They have the. Eat prices and the quality of food is great. We came here at least 3 times during our stay because the food was so good. You have to try the mixed rice and the empanadas! Service was good and they offer outside seating. Location is right across the street from the beach which is awesome. This will be our go to place whenever we are in PR. read more

Katrina's - Amazing mixed rice. One of the specialties here! So good - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dorado, Puerto Rico

Great spot within walking distance to the beach. A good variety of food. Arrived with friends who were visiting the island for the first time along with their child. Lots of seating to choose from, different food options and even their cafe latte was delish! Ordered the Chilló fried fish, fried nugget fish w/mofongo (sweet plantain and yuca!). Generous size for the cost. Bathroom was good and parking available if you get there during slow hours(golden hour! 2-3:30pm). Ambiance matched the beach scene along with the service,which is why I gave it an extra star. read more

We went with our 2 children. While they were very friendly when we walked in, it took over 1.5 hours to get our food, and it was not busy. The explanation given was that they ran out of rice. Rather than bringing us our other food(fish, mufongo, shrimp, empanada), they made us wait. When we finally got it, our kids were starving and we ate some of it, but the food was ice cold. We did not complete our meals. They had seemed very apologetic, but presented us with the full bill. When we asked the manager, she said she could have done something earlier and changed our order. Obviously, we had two hungry kids, and could not have waited MORE time to eat what little we did. She refused to address the bill. We sat for almost 2 hours, ate in less than 10 min, for over $100. I DEFINITELY do not recommend! read more

Real Authentic Puerto Rican Food! The empanadas were to die for ! The rice and beans was heaven ! Service was prompt and the atmosphere was casual, beachy feel . When I'm around again, I will definitely make a pit stop ! read more

I'm surprised this restaurant is top 5 in Dorado. The food is bland, the prices are ridiculous, $30 for a 10oz skirt steak... what?! My wife asked for a mofongo with octopus which was listed as $21 and she added shrimp, when the ticket came back they charged us $11 bucks for literally 3 shrimps. The service was ok, I'm not going back ever. read more

Food was good! This was the first time I had been to PR and wasn't pleased with the food we had. While visiting Dorado, we decided to order food from Katrina's to go and it was the best food we had by far. The chicharron de pollo was fresh and yummy and the shrimp mofongo packed flavor. The mofongo wasn't dry and the shrimp were perfectly cooked! read more

Delicious authentic and fresh tasting food. Coming from a chef who cooks awesome PR food this restaurant knocks it out of the park. The servers are also awesome and understand the menu really well. A must return!!! read more

So good!!! Hidden gem...Large portions reasonably priced very helpful staff. Definitely a place to get steak mofungo. There is a steak and cheese dish with rice and beans that is also outrageously good! read more

Katrina's - Amazing empanadas!! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dorado, Puerto Rico

Great place to visit. The Mero (Grouper) with shrimp (or shrimps, as they say ;))is incredible. I went off the other suggestions on yelp and had the garlic sauce... I will try to attach a picture of the restaurants namesake Katrina. I did see some comments about the slower service... it's like that anywhere you go here... they are on island time. Embrace it :) read more

After hurricane Maria the menu was limited but they still wowed me and my boyfriend. We had empanadilla de carne and empanadilla de pollo for appetizer along with a cup of octopus . For main entree we had mofongo de yuca con camarones and mofongo de amarillos con pollo. Everything was absolutely amazing! Very relaxed and portions were great. The taste was good for me but some might find it a little salty. read more

We went here for our first dinner on the island, all slightly tired from our early morning flight and little sleep the night before. Mofongo was on my mind and I had infected my family as well. The front desk guy recommended this place for Mofongo, and so we went. We each ordered a variation (octopus, seafood, and one with crab) and all chose the creole sauce based on our front desk guy's recommendation. None of us had tried it before (but we did watch guy fiori's (diners drive ins and dives fame) video discovery of the dish. Long story short - we all liked our meals, tho the crab mofongo was over salted. Hubby, who ate his entire filling dish, apparently loved his. I don't know Puerto Rican food well enough to know how good this mofongo was - it did not have much mixed into it, but had plenty of sauce and seafood/octopus overtop. The octopus was very tender and fresh tasting. The leftovers also tasted great the next day for breakfast. Decor is very casual, outdoor patio-ish with a giant rainbow-striped, live parrot to lend to the tropical theme. Lots of families dine here. read more

Great fresh seafood but if you eat outside tons of flies! Views are spectacular in the evening. read more

Set your clock to island time before you go here. The food is classic creole, there were other tourists, but not exclusively, or even predominantly. I had the skirt steak with mofongo and garlic butter. Honestly, the mofongo was a decent vehicle for sopping up the sauce, but I haven't been won over. It's like super dense mashed potato and it lacks any flavor of its own. My husband had the whole red snapper with shrimp in creole sauce. He was very happy. The skin was crisp and the shrimp was perfectly done. One of my sons had a different preparation of the skirt steak and he enjoyed it. For me, it's been a problem how over air conditioned the u.s. chain restaurants are. This place has a roof, but no walls, and the island breeze keeps you cool. Any tourist should feel comfortable here. read more

As tourist visiting Puerto Rico for the first time, this place is a fantastic find! An appetizer and an entree was easily enough for my husband and I to share which kept the bill low and, more importantly, the food is amazing! We've been back three more times just this week! Absolutely adore the empanadillas while my husband always tries a Mofongo dish. Service is always very friendly with a casual and welcoming atmosphere. A true gem! read more

Great authentic Puerto Rican food. Service was pleasant with good recommendations. Mofongo (shrimp and seafood) was great. Atmosphere is perfect. Ocean breeze, open air seating. Birds to see and "talk to". Here on vacation and was an excellent experience. read more

Nice ambiance and great place on a Friday or Saturday night. Be prepared to wait as they make the food when you order.

Great atmosphere. Open air casual dining. The service was very good, though admittedly we got there early and there was only one other group there. The food and sangria were excellent! read more

Loved it! Had the salmojenas (crab) mofongo and chicharon de pollo (deep fried chicken) and habichuelas (red beans) and rice. All authentic, homemade style, and delicious. Great personable service, across from the beach, open-air dining. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Nice server, but the food took forever. Not sure if that's an island thing or not. But I was hungry and it took 45 minutes to get our meal. The food was just okay. I love plantains and got monfongo shrimp and fried plantains. Both were underwhelming. My host, a local, said it wasn't very good either. read more

Great authentic Puertorrican food served within a good atmosphere by the beach. If it gets crowded service may become slow but the staff stills try to do their best. Went twice during a weekend and will definitely go back. Had to deduct a star due to the slowdown in service and inaccuracy in one of my orders. The rest still good. read more

On our way back from visiting family, we stopped at this nice tropical place. A smooth cool breeze from the ocean and great company was highlighted by the great and quick service topped off by awesome food. The octopus as well as the conch in their respective salads were fresh, tasty and tender and we paired them with fresh tostones and their signature mamposteao rice (rice with beans, churrasco and bits of sweet plantains)- One word; Succulent. The prices were just as good. Highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. And as we say, Buen Provecho! read more

Food was delicious, Empanadas is a most to try. The beans for the white rice was on point with so much flavor. Plus the carne frita was super fresh and delicious. read more

Worst food ever!! Rude waitress, no AC. Really hot!!! I ask for a simple modification of the order and they said no.! Really pricey food not worth the price. Rotten parcha juice read more

Great sea food on the water. Fried fish nuggets with tostones are always a win. Chill atmosphere close to the Dorado public beach.

Typical beach bar. Weak drinks sketchy service but a good atmosphere near the beach All four that I was traveling with were ambivalent about this restaurant read more

We've eaten at far more expensive places but this place wins. Ambiance in great -- food is the real deal. We ate here twice in one day it was so good. Local food, casual atmosphere right by the beach. Everyone in our party loved it. read more

Great place to eat sea food and have cold beers they have outdoor with live latin music and sometimes karaoke and also indoor if you just want to have a nice dinner. read more

I got there about 5:30. There are three tables occupied. I see two waiters, one about 60 the other in his mid 20's. I make eye contact with both of them; they look away. At one point they both go behind the bar, talk to each other, point at my table, and come back out to the floor clearing off tables. No one comes over with menus, water, or a hello. I know I'm in Puerto Rico and that things tend to be slow so I just sat patiently. About 15 minutes pass and I see a couple of waitresses behind the bar. I make eye contact and they look away. One waitress walks away; the other starts picking up her hair, puts it in a ponytail and walks away. Twenty-five minutes in I see another waitress walk in from the street she puts her stuff away and throws on an apron. She talks to the two original waiters, they point at my table, and she rushes over. She asks me how long I've been waiting and when I tell her thirty minutes she starts sincerely apologizing for her coworkers. Linda, the new waitress was very professional and attentive. She should be commended and I tipped her nicely to show my appreciation and to extend my middle finger to her lazy coworkers. We ordered a rice dish, mamposteo, and pork chunks. The pork chunks were extremely over cooked and dry. The rice was salty and overly seasoned. To be fair maybe the management or owners were not present and hopefully they can use my post to correct and retrain their staff. My experience was horrible and I would never go back to that restaurant unless they make changes. read more

Worst meal I've ever had, both my husband and I ordered the mofongo and it was inedible - we both took a few bites and couldn't eat any more. Such a bummer because we've had mofongo all over PR. Waitress offered no alternative or discount. read more

Excelent service, fresh fish and ingredients! The Katrina rice has the most delicious flavors and the fish nuggets are everything! This place is my go-to for good Puerto Rican food in the area and where I send tourists. The fish caldito they give out before their meals is just the cherry on top. read more

Food is amazing! It's our first time to PR and Katrina's. Great location on Dorado Beach. Empanadas (all of them) are great. read more
