I was craving Mexican and my husband just looked up local spots with good ratings. It was our first time. Our server, Tom, was amazing in his recommendations and we took his word. The food and drinks were delicious. The owner was incredibly nice too and she told us about all the fun stuff that happens during the week. Will definitely be back!!

We came here just before Halloween and the place was decorated so cool! The vibes were super fun, the service was fast and efficient, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything came out fresh and tasty. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!

La Cantina Mexicana is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm, lively atmosphere made us feel right at home. The décor is colorful and authentic, and the music sets the perfect mood for a fun night out. The food was outstanding, every dish was bursting with flavor. The tacos al pastor were perfectly seasoned, and the enchiladas were rich and comforting. Their guacamole tasted super fresh, and the margaritas were easily some of the best I’ve had; strong, tangy, and made with real lime juice.

Amazing place! Love the inside decor. Always a great time! Sometimes too great 😊 I come here often (years) and a regular. Drinks are always consistent and so is the food! Great vibes and the staff😍. Don’t have enough words for how great the owner, Joanna is and Juan the bartender, cooks and other staff. Such a great gem. Don’t hesitate just go!

It was great! The music and food. Ate most the food before it can be snapped lol. Went to celebrate a close friend’s birthday ! Price for drinks aren’t online or in person. It’s definitely a risk it situation. But they are really good! Gratuity is included but the staff is great so don’t mind. Would return!

Food was amazing if you want a little bit more of an authentic taste and away from the chain mexican restaurant flavor (salt OD). Atmosphere and service was great although on a thursday night I would of expected it to be more crowded. Also, their parking lot is very small.

Place is the best. Best Mexican food around for miles. Drinks are fire. Expensive though. But service is great. People are friendly and accommodating. They do karaoke a lot and a lot of talented people come out to sing. Nice wall murals. Parking is street parking as you’re not supposed to use the parking lots across the street. Awesome place overall.

Food is very tasty and spicy! Very authentic, would go again for the yummiest food!! Lots of veggie options!! But the service is usually borderline bad, They intentionally diss people who talk english, seem as if they don’t understand english! They usually come once after giving food, don’t pay attention! They could use hospitality or learn from nearby restaurants! Don’t expect a tip guys!

Decent food and ambience. Good service. Lovely music. We went on a Friday evening at 7.30pm and the place was almost empty and silent. After 8.15 pm only I saw people started coming. The place became lively after that. Overall, this a good place for a hang out with friends for drinks and food. Note: If you do not want a sheet of cheese on top of your food then please let them know while ordering.

When I arrived I parked in the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted. I was there to meet friends. The place is super colorful and big. They have a good happy hour so ordered with Diego at the bar. I ordered the chicken tacos and red sangria and Diego made it to my liking. When the tacos came out I dug in and it was very good. It was flavored nice. Of course since it was happy hour the bill was very affordable. I had a good experience.

The food was decently priced, good portions. The food was decent. The classic margarita was good. We got the flautas, was crispy, i felt it was too dry. The burrito my bf ate he said it was good. The taco was good and good portion but got charged $3 extra for sour cream. No chips brought to the table. The place and food just needs a little more TLC. The staff was nice.

Had a taste for some enchiladas, so I stopped by on a Friday afternoon. The place was completely empty I was the only person there. I ordered the steak enchiladas and two chicken enchiladas, which came with rice and beans. Unfortunately, the food was very bland with no real flavor. I also ordered chips and salsa (which I didn’t even see on the menu) and was charged extra $2 for a tiny bowl of salsa that didn’t taste great. The service was just “blah”—nothing memorable or welcoming. Maybe I caught the cook on an off day, but overall the enchiladas tasted more like quesadillas with sauce on top. This Did Not Taste Like Real Mexican Food To Me I won’t be back.

Ordered a DoorDash order of the pollo asado and the chicken came raw. I called the restaurant to let them know but they didn’t seem to be understanding that this is a serious food safety issue that could cause illness. I called the restaurant to let them know, but their response was not very apologetic and they only offered a free dish for next time. While I appreciate the gesture, my bigger concern was to communicate this so that they understand the gravity of serving raw chicken and take steps to prevent this from happening again. Food safety should never be overlooked.
