Cantina is such a cutesy restaurant. My friend and I went on a Thursday and they had a promotion that included 3 tacos and a margarita for $15. Our server was a woman named Kristina— she was so sweet and personable .
I got the birria, Al pastor and shrimp tacos. All three were full of flavor and they did not skimp on the meat. The shrimp one was my favorite.
I ordered the blueberry margarita and my friend got a spicy prickly pear margarita. Both were tasty. Overall I enjoyed my experience and loved the ambiance of the place.

Didn’t feel up to going out tonight, but MAN am I glad I got talked into it! We had THE best time with Evan, our Server. Picked up on our humor immediately and that’s not easy to find! He even loved my screaming goat present I received from our friends! Top notch service to say the least… kept the drinks coming, the food was AMAZING, the margaritas were stellar and the ambiance was on point! As a first time goer, I have to say I wanna go back! We were seriously impressed…

It was a Saturday night and we walked in without reservations. We were directed to the full service bar to check for ourselves if there were spots available because we didn't have reservations. The menu didn't have pictures available, which meant whatever we picked would be a mystery. After speaking with the bartender, our original food choice was changed because it was explained that the tacos don't really come with anything. Directly behind our area were two tables that had been completely empty the entire time we were there; wondering why weren't we accommodated to be seated there. The strawberry margarita was good and the food was very bland. The low light theme is very nice and it looks really cool inside of the restaurant. Didn't explore upstairs but the whole place gives off a club feeling more so than a restaurant. Honestly wouldn't consider our meal as authentic Mexican food. It seems like a fun place to come and hang out, get drinks but other than that; the food isn't worth it.

Had a great time at the Cantina. They have a great new chef and the bartender Christina is the absolute best there is. You must visit. No matter the drink Christina has you. She is pleasant, professional and a huge asset to the restaurant. Must try the chicken flautas.
