" BelAir Cantina had been on my list to try for a while, and I finally made it there last week. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, perfect for a night out with friends. I had the shrimp tostada, which was beautifully plated and quite delicious! However, I was a bit let down because the shrimp didn’t have much seasoning. My friend had the Smashburger Taco and raved about it. Service was overall good, but we waited a little longer than expected for our drinks. It’s a nice spot, and I’d give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the most wonderful dining experience at BelAir Cantina the other night! The vibrant colors of the restaurant set a cheerful mood, and my server was attentive without being intrusive. I ordered the carne asada tacos and a refreshing mango margarita. The tacos were bursting with flavor, and the mango flavor in the margarita was just right—not too sweet. I also appreciated the assortment of salsas that came with the chips. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem for authentic Mexican food in the area. I can't wait to return again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited BelAir for a casual lunch with my partner last week. The ambiance was vibrant, and it was pretty busy but they managed to seat us quickly. I had the queso with chips which was a great starter—smooth and cheesy! For my main, I went with their signature tacos and they were delightful. However, I think they could improve on their portion sizes as I left feeling still a bit hungry. Overall, great experience though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last Saturday, I celebrated my birthday at BelAir, and it was phenomenal! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Our server was incredibly engaged and even surprised us with a complimentary margarita for my birthday! The nachos were out of this world, and I was impressed by the choices of tacos I could mix and match. The atmosphere was cheerful and lively, making it the perfect place to celebrate. I will definitely be coming back here regularly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried BelAir for lunch today and it was delicious! The atmosphere was buzzing, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I ordered the steak fajitas which were very tasty. One downside was that the portion was a bit smaller than I expected for the price. Overall, a great first experience and I'm looking forward to going back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried BelAir for the first time last night, and I truly enjoyed my experience! The atmosphere is lively, and the decor makes you feel warm and welcomed. I got the carne asada bowl and it was packed full of flavor. The service was quick and cheerful. I will definitely consider this place for future outings! " (*Curated Review*)

" BelAir Cantina is a bright and friendly atmosphere perfect for anyone looking to have a good time. The food is usually great, however on my last visit, I found my burrito to be bland and lacking seasoning. While the service was prompt and the servers were cheerful, the food can be hit or miss. I’ll keep giving them a chance since I’ve enjoyed their tacos before. " (*Curated Review*)
