La Cantina Mexican Grill Port Arthur Reviews
We celebrated my friend's 49th BDay! ( pic) Chips and salsa was good. (green for me!)Margaritas were on point, taco salad was delish & good service! 👍
The Luis special is a great dish with plenty of food. Great service as well.
I was pleasantly surprised when we ate here yesterday. The server was attentive and our food was fresh and flavorful. We had stopped going here maybe a year ago because the food and service had gone downhill. I hope this momentum continues.
First time visiting La Cantina Port Arthur locations. I went with about 70 other amateur ham radio operators for a Christmas party. Our dinner was at 7PM. There was plenty of sitting a nice size meeting room and restaurant appeared to be clean. For such a large group it seems there was two people taking drink orders, a young woman who I did not get her name, and a young man named Jesus (Jesse). Drinks orders came out in a timely manner but one of our guests had to asked for a water refill three times. Just like there were two people taking drink orders there should have also been two or three people taking our food orders. I was seated in the middle table, and our food order was not taken until 7:47PM. I just knew for sure we were not going to get our food until at least 8:30PM. However, I supposed with newer technology as soon as Jesse was taking the orders they must have immediately been sent to the kitchen. Because minutes after he arrived at our table to take the order the first table orders were already being served. Our food arrived at 8:04PM which was not a long wait at all. Everyone’s food came out hot, fresh, and tasty…and despite the delay I heard no gripes or complaints. Jesse was phenomenal!!!!!! He was levelheaded, professional, kind, helpful, and got every single order correct. There was only one small hiccup, and I think several people ordered the Pollo Loco, so one of the gentlemen at our tables was delayed in getting his full order of Pollo Loco. But I think after the waiter was notified his order arrived in probably less than 15 minutes. So overall I would say the Christmas party was a success! I will post a few pics I took of the inside of the party room and of some of the dishes. I would definitely visit this restaurant again.
Great service my family and I really enjoyed the family room the service exceeded my expectations if you are looking for a place to have a celebration 🎉 this is definitely your place staff amazing well managed and very attentive, I will definitely refer and return to this restaurant
I ordered a traditional fajita plate from here via Uber eats & it arrived to absolute PERFECTION! When I think of fajita THIS is what it should be! 1/4" x 1/4" strips of soft juicy fajita meat with no nerve & no tough chewy garbage...just pure quality meat cut perpendicular to the meat tissue so that it easily tears away with each savory bite. This is professionals at work...I get so tired of ordering fajita other places & getting thin sliced minced meat with chopped up nerve & fat...Thats fake fajita bs...might as well order ground beef! This place is world class & I will definitely be looking forward to ordering from here again! 💯💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
This is our favorite Mexican restaurant! Such good food, fast service, and friendly staff. Our favorite menu item is the Polo Loco. I love that they offer steamed spinach as a side, as I'm trying to watch my carbs. Such a fun, lively atmosphere.
I really enjoyed this place. I've been here twice in 1 week already. White Queso with Chorizo - Worth every drop amazing Chicken/Beef Fajitas - Tender and Flavorful Chips - Super fresh Green Salsa - Amazing and Refreshing Red Salsa - Not hot but good Pico De Gallo - Fresh and Great Charro Beans - Freaking amazing Service was great and prompt. The drinks were never empty.
Food good… drinks good… service felt a little rushed for the check though… but I’ll be back
Love chips and salsa, but the salsa left a lot to be desired. Nothing special about the entree, had the shrimp enchiladas. Middle of the road. Liked the restaurant and the servers were good.
3 of us went & shared Luis whis is usually plenty for all of us but it was mainly onions. We sat at bar which same bartender is always there & not friendliest especially if you aren't Spanish!
The atmosphere looks very nice. I ordered the Nacho Supreme to go. It was terrible. Rancho Grande Bar and Grill has a better Nacho Supreme. I did eat it inside though. I think that makes the difference sometimes.
Not busy, and slow service. The waiter is not very attentive. I feel like I am at a fast food place. Takes your order and walks away quickly. Food was very good! Wait staff is not. Waiter walked by quickly and dropped off appetizer not slowing down. While food was good I would not come back.
I ordered using Door Dash so service and atmosphere doesn't count. Food was horrible. I ordered cheese enchiladas, someone in the kitchen forgot to put cheese in the cheese enchiladas. I had to unroll the enchiladas to find a little bit of cheese. It was all corn tortilla and gravy. Beans and Rice were cold. I am done with La Cantina I threw dinner in the trash it was disgusting.
