Catalina's Mexican Restaurant sits on East César E. Chávez Avenue in Lansing's Old Town — a walkable, arts-filled stretch of the city where people gather, explore, and eat well. This is the kind of place that fits naturally into a good day in the neighborhood.

Catalina's sits within easy reach of the Lansing Center, Jackson Field, and the riverfront — making it a natural before-or-after stop for games, events, and evenings out. Old Town is worth the detour on its own, but a great meal waiting doesn't hurt.
