    Amazing experience at Catalan! Starting off with the host/owner Angie being the sweetest welcoming us with a big smile Tapas , the charred Spanish octopus is one of the best starters , the bone marrow and the mussels are also great , let’s not forget the HUMMUS I can definitely say that it’s the best one in the entire Coachella valley!! Our entrees were incredibly delicious, props to the chef… Our server Darwin was able to answer all of our questions and he was really nice always making sure that we had everything that we needed. The drinks are on a whole different level, Raphael makes the best drinks, we really enjoyed the Spanish old-fashioned , the most refreshing Mezcal Mojito and the Catalan lady! This restaurant is a hidden gem
