Yucatan-inspired Mexican food, cocktails, beer, and wine
"Opened in 2021 as one of Ten Five’s first Los Angeles restaurants, described as a coastal Mexican restaurant located inside the Tommie Hotel." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Hollywood hotel dining tends to be hit or miss, but with a menu from renowned chef Wes Avila, Ka’teen makes for a worthy dinner destination. The striking outdoor space looks like something straight out of a Tulum resort with wicker lanterns hanging overhead and jungle plants in every corner. Start with a prawn aguachile or kanpachi crudo before ordering mains like the cochinita pibil served in a banana leaf, or the bone-in carne asada ribeye. The chips and guacamole are a must-order, served in a molcajete with heirloom tomatoes. The prices are a bit on the higher end, but the portions are quite generous. Ka’teen is best if dining with a group, as most dishes are sized to share." - Rebecca Roland
"Between the thatched palm frond entrance and ethereal club music pumping through the speakers, Ka’Teen doesn't do low-key. But if you’re looking to get a little dressed up and go all out on a night in Hollywood, this clubby Mexican spot and its lush Tulum-inspired patio are a refreshingly unique place to do it. The mostly outdoor space is great for big groups, there’s Dom Perignon on the menu, and the Yucatan-style menu has several bright spots like citrusy ceviches and lamb barbacoa platters." - brant cox, arden shore, sylvio martins, cathy park

"From the thatched entrance and ethereal club music pumping through the speakers, there’s a lot going on at Ka’Teen. But if you’re looking to get dressed up and have a messy night out in Hollywood, this is where to be. The mostly outdoor space is great for big groups, there’s a $1,000 bottle of Dom Perignon on the menu, and as for the food, the Yucatan-style menu has several bright spots like citrusy ceviches and lamb barbacoa platters. Sure, this place is loud, crowded, and clubby, but it’s also filled with people who want it that way. Make sure you’re one of them before going." - brant cox, arden shore, sylvio martins, cathy park
