Cantina Alicante es un sitio con muy buena comida, pero además con un ambiente que invita a pasarlo bien. Todo está cuidado: el servicio, el ritmo del lugar y el detalle en los platos. Es perfecto para ir con amigos, pero si vas con alguien especial, quedas súper bien seguro. Un sitio para disfrutar sin prisas, comer bien y salir con una sonrisa. Repetiré.

The best Mexican food place in the world. Been here several times and we always come back. It's very low-key but the food is delicious and the Margeritas are GIGANTIC and delicious and so generous✨✨ The servers are also absolutely lovely, they're friendly and the service is great:) Especially the lovely older gentleman working there. Can absolutely recommend this place.

My new favourite restaurant in Alicante. I won't be staying far from this place unless they are so busy that I can't get in. Great food, excellent, friendly staff and a busy, pumping atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who won't come too often because if you do then it will be difficult for me to get in 😂

Great price, amazing food, and a great atmosphere! I loved the tamales I ordered and it was the perfect amount of food, I even got some pico de gallo to go because it was so tasty! The waiters/waitresses were very efficient and kind and they even had a menu in English (I’m learning Spanish so some words I don’t recognize and this really helped me). I’m from Florida and was really missing all of the amazing Mexican restaurants along the nearby beaches, so this made me feel a little less homesick.

Big portion for a good price. I'm so full after eating just the 2 tacos. Good chef! It's delicious!

I highly recommend! We had jalapeños with cheese, tamales, fajitas, beso de amor and local beer - everything was great. The food is simple but amazingly tasty and fresh. Maybe tamales didn't work for us very well but we knew it wasn't our thing while ordering and just wanted to try it since it's not something easy to get where we live. Tomato salsa and guacamole were the best I've ever ate plus beso de amor too good to be true. Also the staff - very very nice and service quick and efficient! I'm not sure whether we will ever come back to Alicante but for sure I'll always remember this delicious food we had there! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Recommended!!! Very tasty food, clearly freshly made from good ingreirience. The portions are very large tho so be warned 😅 For 2 grown ups, we got nachos supremos and 2 mains (tacos el pastor and something else) and, despite VERY nice nachoses, we didn't manage to finish... 🙈

I love it soo much. The waitress was so kind and the plates are so big. I’m vegetarian and love it

Pedimos unos margaritas para empezar y entraban solos, muy buenos. La comida deliciosa y con mucho sabor. El ambiente de diez y no paraban de entrar comensales. Por último, el servicio bastante bueno. Un sitio muy recomendable para disfrutar de la gastronomía mexicana.

El local está en centro de Alicante (cerca El Corte Inglés) Es la primera vez que he ido y me ha gustado mucho la comida. Volveré ☺️

Como buena cantina mejicana tiene mesas pequeñas, abundante decoración y mucho colorido. El local es laberíntico y amplio. La comida rica y el servicio bueno aunque algo desbordados en cocina (creo q fue puntual). Una buena experiencia con sorbete de cava sin alcohol como colofón de parte de la casa.

The only bad thing is that the kitchen closed at 16:00 which we didn't know because Google said it was open all day, so we got there close to 16:00 and rather than them saying that, that the kitchen closed, they didn't and all the food came out together, we got 2 menus of the day so it was a lot of food because they said kitchen closed at 16:00, they should have told us and then maybe we would have gone somewhere else, but at least we would have had the choice to decide

The place is so cozy but if you want to eat in here better you book just in case you have seat available because the place always full and the most important is the food with affordable price you get hug plate and yummy food

A bit overpriced. The fajitas portion they recommended was huge (at least for 3 people) with only 4 tortillas. But it was very tasty. The sangria was amazing

En mi anterior visita puse 5 estrellas, ya que vine con unos amigos y el menú nos costó 30 euros por persona, que estaba genial. Pero hoy hemos comido un menú de cochinillo al horno y nos ha costado 50 euros por cabeza, un sablazo... Eso sí, el cochinillo muy bueno y los entrantes también. Por muy bueno que esté todo, 50 por persona es una pasada. El servicio y el ambiente muy buenos también. Pero con el precio de hoy bajo a 3 estrellas.

Está ubicado en pleno centro, lo cual hace casi imposible que encuentres sitio si no reservas. Comí en la terraza y la atención es muy buena, la comida viene en buenas raciones pero el sabor de algunas cosas me parece muy soso o que sabe todo igual. El ceviche está muy bueno y las ensaladas son de un buen tamaño, pero para mi gusto le falta sabor. De todas formas hay buen ambiente y suele estar lleno. Supongo que es recomendable para salir con gente y compartir. Ahora si quieres sabor mexicano, no creo que sea el sitio idóneo. Falta, especias , sabores y picantes, algo imprescindible en la comida mexicana.

Food was average, ordered a chicken burrito, no rice or chillies in it, no hot sauces on the tables. Food sizes good for the price. There were small pieces of chicken in the vegetable burrito.

Alex Smith

This was the most over priced places I’ve eaten at in Alicante. This was the bowl of guacamole for 12.50€ that came with only 6 chips?? The rest of the food was incredibly bland with no flavor or spice.

Vengo a quejarme de lo que pedí para casa y es horrible, comparado a como lo hacían hace unos meses….. las patatas duras, cuatro trocitos de verduras mal puestos y de mala gana . La presentación horrible y me cobras 8,50 por literal 4 trozos de costilla sin casi carne ……… decepción total para pedir no lo aconsejo en absoluto

Me da mucha pena, soy cliente de este mejicano desde hace 30 años. No vuelvo a ir , era uno de mis restaurantes preferidos pero los de ayer....no tiene nombre. Fuimos un grupo de adultos con niños, salimos a 85 euros por familia de dos adultos más un niño por familia, pedimos menús, super escasos, a diferencia de otras veces, no se que te pasado pero desde luego me sentí estafado. No vuelvo más y repito , he sido cliente desde hace 30 años. He comido y cenado allí más de 100 veces, con padres , familiares varios, amigos, con mis hijas, y lo de ayer no tiene nombre. Una lástima pero así es

Es una pena que no se pueda menos de una estrella, experiencia inolvidable he ido porqué me recomendaron este lugar, específico las micheladas! Al principio el camarero fue grosero y arrogante no soy mexicana no sé cómo funciona el restaurante y estaba buscando una orientación, no la peor experiencia de mi vida, nos deja el menú y le pregunto que donde están las micheladas a lo que me dice que por ahí deben estar que raro que no las vea y le exigí que me enseñará donde estaba ya qué parte de su función es hacer el trabajo correcto de buena manera, le pregunto que diferencia había en la michelada y el ojo rojo ya que me gustaba poco picante, y empieza a burlarse de mi y de mi amiga con grosería y arrogancia desde el principio nos odio sin hacerle nada quizás tuvo un mal día o en su casa no le dan amor pero, su manera de burlarse de mi y mi amiga también, le pregunté que si la michelada lleva coronita y se ríe y me dice que la coronita es una botella larga envasada( lo sé, se que es una coronita) que manera tan poco ética y profesional de tratar a las personas deberían darle su pensión y mandarlo a dormir a su casa si no desea hacer su trabajo, un favor a la humanidad, y si se trata del mismo jefe pues que pena de persona tan mal ubicada, irrespetuoso hombre creo que odia a las personas, que mala experiencia me llevé desilusiones desde el primer momento esto paso a las 20:00 día 14/10/25 De nada

llegue a las 14,50 h. , me senté en la terraza y a las 15,00 horas entré en el restaurante para ver si servían en la terraza, me dijeron que sí, no obstante, le comente al señor de la barra que ya que había entrado me pusiera dos cervezas y que cuando pudiesen que me atendiesen fuera pues quería pedir algo para tapear a los cinco minutos vino un camarero y le pedí una ración de nachos. (15,05h.) nos bebimos las cervezas y a las 15,25h. paser a decir que era lo que ocurría con mi ración, me contestó el camarero que si tenía tanta prisa que no hubiese pedido ración, que tenían mucha gente comiendo y no podía exigir tanto. pagué 6 Euros por dos cervezas que yo saqué a la terraza. vino el encargado y me pidió disculpas por lo ocupados que estaban. yo le dije, que 20 minutos antes me podía haber comentado eso y me habría ahorrado la espera de unos Nachos que Nunca Llegaron.

I came here with very low expectations, which were exceeded depending on how you look at it - because it was even worse than I thought it would be. I realize Spain (despite colonizing them) has an extremely tenuous grasp on Mexican food, however this was just insulting - especially since Spain has such amazing produce - because not even the quality was any good. Anyone giving this place good reviews is likely European and has little to no idea what Mexican food is and should taste like., To start, I would like to mention that lemons and limes are different fruits. You can't just go replacing lemons with limes in everything. Well, here at Cantina Alicante, they make margaritas with lemons and call it classic. They also make it with vodka - copious amounts of it in fact. Maybe they are attempting to get you drunk so you don't notice their food. At no time was tequila in the room with us, despite them advertising they had over 50 kinds. I have to be honest with you - I do not think you would get the tequila you ordered if you chose to go that route. I would be willing to bet they use the same tequila and charge you as if it's a good one. They give you 5 tortilla chips and salsa - and the chips were stale. Like completely stale. The salsa was like canned tomatoes with onions and parsley in it. We ordered queso fundido to start. We all know what queso fundido looks like right? We all have access to Google if you don't? Well someone needs to go find the people who came up with this - because they clearly are being held in a cave somewhere with zero access to the internet or outside world in general. This queso fundido came, and it was literally a giant hunk of Spanish BLUE cheese melted down on a plate, with saltine type crackers (WHAT??? Not even tortilla chips!!????), pickled jalapenos, some sort of sweet marmalade and tomatoes. We also ordered one chicken flauta, and one stuffed jalapeno. The flauta was fried in a way that the stuffing was coming out, and it was burned. I am honestly not even sure if the jalapeno was a jalapeno either, but it was like a jalapeno popper you get from the frozen section of a grocery store. The came my chicken enchilada which was stuffed with tasteless chicken, and topped with what looked like mozzarella cheese that had congealed already - and it had clearly been made HOURS earlier. On top was some sort of mayo. Again - not Mexican at all. It was served with what is closer to bean and meat chili in a tomato type sauce. No rice - which we all know is served with most Mexican dishes. My husband got a burrito (10 minutes after mine came out) which was enormous but also filled with bland meat and topped with tasteless, unidentified sauce (nary a chili in site). Conclusion - I can forgive Mexican food not being the most authentic because that tends to happen - but I draw the line at using frozen foods, nasty cheese, low quality meat in a country filled with amazing produce and animal products. It is a rip-off and it is dangerous. There are several people talking about food poisoning, and I believe them. I cannot forgive a restaurant calling itself Mexican but not doing a single shred of research about what that means. I cannot forgive people making a margarita with lemons and vodka. I cannot forgive them not even bothering to get fresh jalapenos - much less any kind of dried chili that Mexican cuisine uses. Buyer beware - this restaurant does not care about quality nor authenticity in any conceivable way.
