Katalina's in Harrison West

I live right by here and I finally made it over for brunch! I always knew it was small from walking by and when I walked inside I confirmed that there are only a few tables and bar seats, but they do lots of take out it seems.
The entire place is covered in writing due to the markers left on every table, which was a cool vibe.
I got everything but the chicken sink which is essentially a fried chicken sandwich with French toast as the bread - the chicken was good but not super crispy and the French toast was kind of meh.
We also got the pancake balls with apple and pumpkin butter, which were delicious! I ended up eating the chicken out of my sandwich, skipping the French toast, and eating more pancake balls.
My bf got the toast with egg on the inside and spicy/sweet bacon.
I think he thought his meal was good, but nothing crazy! Overall I thought it was good, but I won’t be shouting from the rooftops about it.

Rating is 3.5.
Parking is very limited so you may have to find some street parking nearby.
Restaurant is very small with limited seating.
Staff was very pleasant and welcoming.
You order at the register and then they bring it out to you.
We ordered breakfast tacos, Mexican French toast, and pumpkin-apple butter pancake balls with sweet and spicy bacon strips.
Breakfast tacos were the winner here.
All of the ingredients were fresh and combined taste was heavenly.
Unfortunately, the Mexican French toast and pancake balls were the downfall.
Mexican French toast tasted just like conventional French toast just at a higher price.
Pancake balls I wanted more of that pumpkin-apple butter filling in each bite.
It just wasn’t enough.
The sweet and spicy bacon was very tasty.
Orange juice was very refreshing.
Prices are expensive.
If you eat inside then you can draw on the tables and walls.

Man, I really wanted to give this a full five stars on everything because I love this place AND recommended it to my significant other's family but one of our orders got messed up not once but twice which really turned them off from the place.
Although that was disappointing, they still enjoyed the food.
Holy smokes the food really is worth it.
Their famous breakfast tacos are incredible and my significant other really enjoyed his buttermilk brined chicken sandwich.
Definitely get there early because the Harrison West location is small and seats can be hard to come by.
I also completely love the vibes of this place and I really enjoyed getting to leave my mark - literally.
The chalk and markers that allow you to write on the walls and table are so cool! I absolutely still recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a fun breakfast in Columbus. PS.
Definitely get the blood orange juice.
It's the best I've ever had!
