Best Latin American Spanish Restaurants in Catalina Island

Fuego at Hotel Maya has been brilliantly reimagined into one of Long Beach’s most captivating waterfront dining destinations. The vibrant, modern Latin Riviera-inspired design is every bit as impressive as the panoramic harbor views, creating a setting that feels like a mini coastal escape. The menu celebrates fresh coastal flavors—from refreshing gazpachos and vibrant ceviches to expertly crafted cocktails that are worth lingering over. The standout? The branzino, unquestionably one of the finest in Long Beach: impeccably fresh, delicately prepared, and beautifully presented. The Happy Hour is equally compelling, with outstanding grilled fish tacos and savory beef tacos that easily outshine many full-priced entrées around town. Fuego has elevated every aspect of the experience—from the atmosphere to the cuisine. It’s the kind of restaurant that immediately earns a place on your regular dining rotation, and I can’t wait to return again and again.

Our server Chris was very attentive- exceeded all expectations! The view is one of the finest along this stretch of coast. The food was a hit and miss. Overall a great experience!

One of our favorite restaurant! We had fantastic service!

We just had brunch here, and it was absolutely delicious! They offer a great variety of dishes, and everything we tried was so flavorful. Our waiter was attentive, quick, and always there whenever we needed anything. One of the highlights was the live mariachi band! You can request songs for free, and they were fantastic. We made sure to leave them a tip because they really added to the experience. I also want to give a special shoutout to Melissa. We came for brunch because we’re considering this venue for our wedding. Even though they don’t normally offer tours on weekdays, she kindly took the time to give us a quick tour of the entire venue and answered all of our questions. She truly went above and beyond, and it made our visit even more special. Thank you, Melissa!
