a diner from new york, ny
We went to Cosmic Catalina because members of our party had been there previously and enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, though the food was good and our waitress was great, our party was subjected to very rude and belligerent treatment by the visibly intoxicated owner. When we arrived, we asked if we could join two tables together so that our party of seven could be more easily accomodated. Apparently the owner took grave offense to this as he was visibly and verbally hostile to our party from that point on -- rearranging our table, harrassing our waitress about allowing us to sit together, and making rude remarks to us throughout our meal. Furthermore, he lied about our tables being reserved in an attempt to hurry us out of his place, brought the bill when we had yet to finish our drinks, and then assaulted one of our party when confronted about his ill treatment of us. His behaviour toward us could easily be his behaviour towards you. Customers beware! None of us will ever eat in this establishment again.

A tex-mex restaurant run by asians... and well! what a country! the only real problem is that the workers there stare at you and heckle you when you eat.
