Came here for a birthday celebration and this place was amazing. When I tell you that the staff was short but they did the damn thing, they did the damn thing. One person on drinks, one person on serving, one person in kitchen. Thats 3 people to a full restaurant and they all did good. I had drinks and some wings and it was great. The wings was tasty and fresh and the drinks hit (if you know what i mean)I had the Henny something with some fruity flavoring and it was sooo good followed with a few Sangrias that was tasty as well. If I head back to that side again I would always stop there. They were all great!!! Music was fire as well. Great DJ!!!

What was supposed to be a quick bite with my sister turned into a night out! From the food to the music this place was such a vibe! The service was amazing! Especially from the bartender (chris) besides him being cute he was very attentive and made sure our night was going well. Definitely give this place a 10/10.

I love coming here because it’s always a 10/10 experience. Chris makes the best coconut margaritas in all of Manhattan. The fish tacos are AMAZING, and the vibes are always immaculate. Everyone who works here is sweet, friendly and a VIBE. Shout out to Ricky, Orlando, Sam, Pedro and Ricardo!

Cantina Taqueria & Tequila Bar in Harlem did not come to play with the portions these appetizers could feed a small army! The seafood paella was the star of the night: flavorful, packed with shrimp, mussels, and calamari, and served piping hot in a generous skillet. The atmosphere was lively without being too loud, and the staff were super attentive and friendly. Definitely a great spot for a group dinner or a casual night out with friends. Come hungry you won’t leave disappointed!

Amazing experience! Food was delicious, special highlight to the steak frites, their queso (get the chip sampler), and the street corn. Service is phenomenal and their music playlist was also really great. Also recommend their Mezcalita!

I was celebrating my birthday. My family and I had a wonderful time. Our server was the sweet, attentive, and was always available if we needed something. I understand she is working for tips, but she made us feel comfortable. It is a small place, but I prefer this. The drinks were superb. I had the Blood Orange magarita with salted rim. My uncle had the Passion Fruit margarita. My uncle had a half salted rim to try. He never had a Margarita before. You can ask for a sugar rim if you dont like salt. We ordered mango-jerk chicken, Grilled Lime chicken, Al Pastor, fish, and Tijuana steak tacos. We also had chimichanga, mexican corn, and churros. I'll be back.

The tacos where amazing and so are the flavor margaritas specially the passion fruit. If you come here to celebrate a birthday do not expect a cake because they don't have one. The decor and ambience was conformable and the music was loud enough to have a conversation with someone. The bathroom decor was nice and it also seemed to be disabled friendly, however, there are stairs before you enter the place with no ramp. Overall my experience at cantina was great and I will come again.

I will say right off that serving tacos on cold tortillas is a mortal sin. No sure what this is about. Maybe because i asked for everything (brussel sprouts with chorizo) be served together and the tacos had to wait on a cold surface for the brussels to cook? I will excuse this because the food here is obviously good. The brussel sprouts are sauteed abd served in a mini black iron skillet. Delicious! The sauteed shrimp tacos are delicious. They have a slight spicey afterburn that is perfect. The chicken lime tacos were good from the pictures alone. Perfect for the person who hates spicey food. The pulled pork is goid. It tastes as it should! The classic margarita is perfect. Tacos here are served with lettuce. Not a fan of lettuce. I think it is flavorless and distracts from the meat (focal point). On a Wednesday night at 8:30pm this place was pretty much packed.

This is an excellent place for people under 35. The music is way too loud and will bust your eardrums. I have no idea who thinks loud music is a good idea. Do not come here for a first date on a Friday. The food is typical and priced accordingly.
