Highly recommend their chicken quesadilla supreme & enchilada with salsa verde. Their sides, rice with beans & salad are super good too.

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 mainly only had the drinks here. The tequila shots are very reasonably priced & we were offered a higher quality alcohol for the same price when the bottle we had been drinking ran out. The chips & salsa were disgusting. The salsa tasted of literal vomit & the chips were tasteless. The guacamole was slightly better, but only just.

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. 😎👍
