La Cantina was fantastic! From the moment we ordered, the service was impressively quick. Our food arrived so fast we could hardly believe it, & everything was hot, fresh, & full of flavor. The staff was friendly & attentive, making the whole experience even better. Perfect spot if you want delicious food without a long wait. Highly recommend!

Je viens tout juste de prendre à emporter à la Cantina une Quesadilla au Poulet annoncée à 16$ sur leur menu & ils m'ont arnaqué de 2$ de plus avant taxes (pour le principe c'est une honte) & le comble, il manque des ingrédients ! J'ai bien vu que ça les dérangeait quand je suis arrivée dans leur resto pour commander mais c'est ta job en fait donc si tu n'aimes pas ce que tu fais, faut changer ! Check la quesadilla comme ils se sont bien foutu de moi. Je n'irai plus jamais. C'est très cher pour ce que c'est !

The quality of the food was impressive. We tried the chicharon, sopa Azteca, tacos dorados & churros. The meat of every dish was great & juicy! The decoration is nice & the ambiance is good.

Rather disappointed. We needed a quick stop before heading out of town. Ordered fish tacos, chicken quesadilla & a 330ml beer. Food positives: juicy chicken quesadilla. Food negatives: very small portions, bland tacos, minuscule fish (mostly batter). Value: prices are high for what it is (e.g. beer was $10). Ambiance: cute little place, but do not expect privacy. Service: slow, we were charged twice for one beer --- bill was voided & reissued after calling attention to the mistake, but not even an'I'm sorry.' Overall, I wouldn't recommend it.
