Great ambiance and decor that makes you feel comfortable and puts you in an authentic Tex-Mex setting. The food only adds to the dining experience. I got the Pollo tacos and was able to substitute corn tortillas for the standard flour tortillas and add cilantro. They were flavorful and reasonably priced. My wife got the chicken enchiladas (which I tried of course). The enchiladas took the cake and I had a little buyer's remorse wishing I had ordered them as well. We also got the table side guacamole which was great! We got it made "medium" spicy and next time will get it "mild" as it lit us up a little bit. Overall, a great dining experience which earns a 4.4/5 🍎s.

Love going to this place
I will admit. I have still not sat at a table yet, even though I have been a bunch of times
Ambiance is great. Low lightning ao it would make a great date spot.
I enjoy sitting at the bar. Bar staff is top notch and the drinks are flavorful and well balanced.
The GM Chris is awesome.
As a former bar owner I really enjoy the wide varieties of tequila they carry. When I had my bars there were only like 10 choices. Now there are all sorts of flavors.
Chris and his bar staff are extremely knowledgeable and b take the time to educate about the different tequilas
Food is spectacular
Menu is small. But the food is on point.

I had absolutely a fabulous experience here at Cantina. I held my wedding dinner here with guests on the first floor and it was the perfect ambiance for my event. The wait staff were so kind and Deanna, manager, was so organized and supremely helpful. Kris, the general manager, was hugely helpful in helping me put together a menu and organizing behind the scenes. Food was really delicious and my guests couldn’t stop telling me how much they loved it all! Thanks so much to the staff and team and chef for making my day so special. I would highly recommend Cantina and the team!

Unique dining experience! Restaurant appears to be in a remodeled bank. It has dim lightening for an intimate ambiance. We went on a Saturday afternoon and they had a brunch menu only. Our waitress was friendly. We had the beef street tacos, a taco salad and waffles and berries. Salsa and chips were served complimentary. I liked the corn waffles with fresh berries and whipped cream!

After reading mixed reviews on this relatively new restaurant downtown we decided to go for lunch on a weekday. We were excited to try the guacamole which they make at your table and it was sooo good! She even added extra pickled red onions after I stated how much I love them. They really kicked the guac to a new level! Our steak salad and carnitas were both very tasty. You can tell that some of the staff are newer but everyone was very attentive and friendly. They got pretty busy so go early if you can. The decor of this remodeled bank building is phenomenal. From the art work by local artists to the attention to detail every where you look, it’s just 👌🏼. I will definitely be back and recommend you give this restaurant a try!
