Food was delicious and there was live music band playing on the patio. We asked to b inside because heat, server found us a place inside with views to the outside show. I misunderstood one of the plates i ordered. It was MY MISTAKE. The restaurant gave us the right order and didn’t charge us for the plate we ordered by mistake. They didn’t have to, but they did. 11/10 service from all the staff. I highly recommend this spot.

La Kantina Mexican Restaurant & Lounge is an incredible spot with vibrant decor, great energy, and a menu that stands out. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, with colorful lights and tropical touches that make it feel special from the moment you walk in. The food is flavorful and beautifully presented. There is a wide variety of options, and everything is made with care. The drink menu is creative and fun, with something for everyone. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was smooth from start to finish. Whether you are going out with friends, celebrating something special, or just looking for a fun night with great food, La Kantina is a place worth visiting. Highly recommend.

If you haven’t been here lately, drinks are amazing! I usually have a hit or miss on moscow mule or gin drinks, but here ? they know what they’re doing with drinks. My husband and i had several appaetizers that we tried and were all very good 🥰 Also if you want a cool party vibe Saturdays it gets lit 🔥

I went to this restaurant yesterday with my boyfriend, and we had an excellent time. The food and drinks were a 10/10, and the service was just as amazing. They even had music, which we really enjoyed while waiting for our food. A special thank you to our server Milena, she was so kind and welcoming, and truly made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Had some Barria Tacos for the 1st time and they were really good. Liked the sauce it came with to dip the taco in. Very flavorful. As soon as I sat down I was greeted with a basket of chips and salsa which was also good. Had 2 margaritas, one mango, and a strawberry margarita. Strawberry one was better but also liked the mango. Definitely had a great experience. I really wanted tacos and you guys didn't disappoint. Thanks

10/10 recommend La Kantina! My dine in experience was more than satisfying. The staff was super friendly and hospitable, the interior was vibrant and inviting & the food was TRULY the icing on the cake to top it all off. Appetizer, entree, dessert & even drinks were all hits and no misses. I’m convinced La Kantina can do no wrong. I’ll definitely be back & would recommend to all my friends and family :)

Ricardo was a great server! It was our first time and he explained the various parts of the restaurant and the menu. He was observant and made sure we always had drinks. The atmosphere is great. I’d recommend!

I stumbled upon this place by accident while I was in town for an event. Everything about this place was amazing, but big shout out to the incredible service my friends and I received here. Everyone was so attentive, acknowledged us and even helped us celebrate a special evening. The good food was really just a plus. Miguel, who I'm assuming was the GM was so welcoming and accommodating and explained to us the restaurant had just recently opened and was open to any comments or criticism. Really happy I came across this place and will hope to be back whenever I'm in town!

Visited for an event and was blown away by the outdoor space along with the indoor decor. They have a huge projector screen outside so definitely take advantage of watch nights. The staff were super attentive and friendly! And the cocktails were on point; I loved the presentation and you can tell it has liquor which is a plus. I tried the shrimp queso, salmon, and tres leches. My favorite was the salmon dish. Portions were great too! There was also a DJ when I visited on the weekend.

Food and service was great. The only downside is the lounge downstairs, the space is great and music is good/ spacious but too loud. I think its important for management to have spacial awareness. Lights and music can be too much and messes up the vibe. Loved the music but it was way too loud to interact with anyone in my group and i we felt overwhelmed with how loud it was. Again, i understand a lounge setting should be loud but not the way its been. Turn it down a notch

Before I explain my rating, I want to start by saying this: the place is beautiful, the drinks are phenomenal, and the food is very good. The service was also great. I went here with my wife last week. That said, I went to pay off my credit card today and noticed I was charged more than expected. My final bill, which already included gratuity, came to about $154. However, my credit card was charged $188. While I can afford the difference, it’s about the principle—not the amount. I had plans to return this weekend with a group of about 12 people, but we’ve decided to go elsewhere due to this issue. Again, the place itself is amazing. I’m just sharing my experience as a heads-up to others: keep your receipt and double-check your final charge once it clears your account.

The place itself is beautiful. Atmosphere is 10/10. Beautiful for pictures. HOWEVERRRRRRR!! The food was not good at all. I ordered the clams with plantains last night and the plantains was very dry, small amount of clams hardly any flavor. The drinks tasted like juice with hardly any liquor. We had a big crowd and ppl Complained so much that they ended up changing the bartender. The entree’s came out COLDDD. Rice was cold and dry, steak cold and lobster was cold. I couldn’t believe it! The waitress was sweet and complained to the manager numerous times because she saw what was going on. They took our plates back to warm it up but the food and drinks was not it, I was very disappointed. Manager came to the table to ask us what was wrong with the service so I did like that he followed up. Downstairs is a club vibe but you have to pay a fee to go downstairs for like reggaeton and up to date music even if you eat at the restaurant which is wild. Upstairs had a DJ but he only played typical and old classic Spanish music. Overall will not recommend and will not go back there. Service was great tho and our waitress tried everything possible to accommodate us.
