La Cantina garners mostly positive notes for its flavorful Mexican fare and well crafted cocktails, with many reviewers praising meatier options like beef fillet, arrachera and brisket tacos, as well as ceviche and chicharron, and margaritas described as excellent; the ambiance is frequently described as nice and the staff friendly and attentive, especially during slower visits. However, several opinions mention small portions and occasional bland or underseasoned dishes such as some tacos or bowls, and prices that feel high for the size. Service quality is described as variable, with times of slow service, billing mistakes or miscommunication about promotions, and occasional delays during busy periods. Some reviewers note gluten free friendliness and a generally authentic vibe, while others feel the kitchen could improve consistency and focus on fresh flavors. Overall, La Cantina offers a solid, authentic Mexican dining experience with strong drinks and many tasty dishes, but results vary and improving portion size, consistency, and value would enhance the overall impression.
Dans les meilleurs restos mexicains où je suis allée!! La nourriture était particulièrement savoureuse. Le seul inconvénient est que c'est fermé le dimanche :( :(
We really enjoyed our dinner here. Santiago provided great service. I loved the Tacos Al Pastor & we both thought the Guacamole was some of the best we've ever had. The petit size was enough for two (with a few more chips which they gladly provided). The house Margarita was excellent. Our only "even better if" was to have more fish in the Tacos Poisson. It was mostly breading rather than fish. The place is not fancy, rather basic but we enjoyed the foods & the staff & would come back again!

J'ai commandé des tacos cactus tempura & une soupe aztèque. Les tacos étaient parfaitement délicieux, le mélange des textures dans la bouche se marient très bien. Les saveurs aussi, le salé du tempura avec une mini touche sucré du jícama & un soupçon d'épicé avec la sauce. Même chose pour la soupe goûteuse avec un bon mélange de saveur & textures dans la bouche & juste assez épicée pour ne pas détruire le goût des autres aliments. Le service était rapide & efficace. Le resto a une belle décoration avec des chaises relativement confortables. Les prix sont chers, mais la saveur était au rdv. Par contre, il n'y avait pas d'horchata. Un restaurant méxicain sans horchata n'est pas un vrai restaurants méxicain & pour ce simple fait je ne mettrai pas 5 étoiles.
I found the portions a bit small, but I am a bigger guy. Also the Shaken Margarita was a little stronger then I am used to. Other that that the place was comfortable & the service was quick.
I went there on the weekend for lunch. We paid $24 in which we had an option of soup or salad, tacos (4 pieces) or quesadillas & churros (chocolate or caramel).
