Food is very good. Drinks are delicious and strong. Service is really nice but could be friendlier. Terrace was fine.

Great atmosphere! Service was very pleasant and efficient too. We had the lunch special. The salad was tasty. Our daughter absolutely adored the Aztec soup. My wife, son in law, and I had the quesadilla a poulet. They were terrific. 10 out of 10. No notes. Would definitely eat here again.

La Cantina is a small and quiet place downtown with an attentive staff and a sizable food portion to eat. You should enjoy it!

Nice resto, cozy but it was disappointing. Service was very slow and disorganized! Waited at least 30 mins for each drink and had to remind our server 3 times for the next drink which she had forgotten. Food was delicious but portion was very small. I ordered deep fried fish tacos and it was absolutely delicious. There's quality taste to it. The fish was crispy and full of flavor. However it's not filling. Also, I find their cocktails quite pricey. My margarita was overly rimmed with coarse salt. Dessert was delicious but too sugary.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience here was disappointing. The manager/server was dismissive and, from my perspective, treated our group differently than other customers. Throughout our interaction, I felt interrupted several times while trying to speak, which came across as unprofessional and discourteous. Unfortunately, the food and drinks did not meet expectations either. The guacamole and margaritas were underwhelming, especially considering the prices. After reading the manager's response to my original review, I was disappointed by the lack of accountability and the suggestion that other customers felt the need to intervene. That characterization does not reflect my experience. I believe customer concerns should be addressed respectfully and professionally, even when there is disagreement. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this restaurant and would choose other local options instead.

Thank you for your review. We take feedback seriously, but your version of events is both exaggerated and misleading. Our team treated you with the same respect we offer every guest. Unfortunately, the situation escalated due to your own behavior, including raising your voice and throwing a drink, something that was witnessed by multiple guests, some of whom even felt compelled to step in and apologize on your behalf. We will always stand by our staff when they are treated disrespectfully. We are here to provide a great experience, but that also requires basic courtesy from everyone involved. We wish you the best moving forward.
