Stumbled by this place by accident & it didn't disappoint! Tried their chicken burrito - it was very large, super fresh & pretty delicious. Excellent value for the money & a healthy food option as it wasn't greasy or oily. Nice interior too!

Love this place! Always fresh & delicious, affordable prices. I'm surprised it's not more popular, what a gem 💎 I tried almost everything from the menu, you can't go wrong here.. my favourite is lamb burrito, really to die for! 🤤 on the photo a yummy vegetarian option: sweet potato tacos with salads 🌮

Hidden gem in Pointe Saint Charles with an amazing $25 tapas menu that includes a delicious margarita or beer. Highly recommend the quesadillas, burritos, tacos, & bowls. Chips & guac are also great. Plus, has a nice terrace in the summer.

Très bon, mais n'allez pas là si vous êtes pressés! J'ai attendu plus de 45 minutes pour un simple burrito pour emporter. Ah, aussi c'était la mauvaise commande finalement quand on me l'a donnée.

Everything came warm & tasted delicious.

Juicy meats & succulent food.

Very delicious & well priced for the meal.

I'm full lol & I only had a burrito & some guacamole.

Very good ambience & staff is very friendly.

Will recommend if you want tapas for 25$ with drinks & dessert.

Came in for a quiet lunch on a weekday. The place looks alright, nothing spectacular but not bland either. Service is good enough. But the food just did not impress me. My burrito just lacked punch to the flavour. Maybe some seasoning for the chicken or even some cheese would have gone a long way. Especially considering this came up to $20 with tax & tip. This place is not bad but nothing about it makes me want to return either.

I always enjoy Mexican food. Of course each place varies in quality but otherwise never disappoints. This cafe Cantina was awesome! The wait might be a little long depending on staff & if it's very busy but it's worth the wait for sure! My burrito was quite hefty & very good! I hope to return again soon. Friendly owner too. Works hard. 😎👍

If you eat there, the wait can be a little long, during lunch time.
I've ordered take out for 2 during supper time & was out in 8 minutes.

I've only had the veggie burrito everytime I went, & I really enjoy it. My husband takes the chicken or beef one & likes it as well. We go every 3 months or so.

I'd say, it's a hit or miss on the nachos really, depending if you get the bottom of the baril, or a fresh new batch.

Some can say the rice is a little dry, well it kind of is a bit, but it tastes good in my burrito. Expect to pay about $14 per person tops for your meal if you are not taking any entree or drink.
