" Came here after hearing all the buzz on social media. It's a little jewel! The decor is charming and colorful, really setting the mood. The tacos were flavor-packed and the service was pretty good. We had some margaritas that were delicious but could be a bit stronger. Overall, a nice spot to enjoy casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" A group of friends and I decided to try this restaurant because we love Mexican cuisine. The atmosphere felt warm, yet festive. While the tacos were tasty, they weren’t as spicy as I would have preferred. The service, however, was fast and friendly, which is always a plus. Overall, I would say it's a decent spot for some good food, but I wouldn’t make a special trip just for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" While visiting Virginia Beach, I decided to check out Side Street Cantina based on recommendations. The atmosphere was lively, and we felt welcomed right away. I enjoyed the chicken enchiladas, which were delightful and bursting with flavor. However, I felt the service was a bit slower than expected, though the server was friendly. Nevertheless, a pleasant experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

The atmosphere is casual and lively, making it a hit for families and friends alike. Our server was attentive and made us feel right at home. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Side Street Cantina is a must-visit for authentic Mexican! The vibrant decor and live music make for a fantastic dining experience. I was blown away by the mole sauce on my enchiladas, so rich and flavorful! It felt like a little slice of Mexico right by the beach. However, the service was a bit slow, but we were in no rush and it didn't spoil our enjoyment. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the friendly atmosphere at this restaurant! We came for Taco Tuesday, and the deals were outstanding. The tacos were packed full of flavor, and the service was quick and efficient. It felt like a true Mexican feast. The only thing was that it got a bit noisy with the crowd. Overall, I left very satisfied and look forward to next Taco Tuesday! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things about this place, my friends and I were excited to try it. The food did not disappoint! Every dish was flavorful and made from fresh ingredients. The staff was helpful, ensuring our drinks were always filled. It can get busy, but it’s worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)
