" I went to Cantina 138 with my family, and we had a blast! The vibe was fantastic and uplifting! We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. I ordered the chicken tinga and adored every bite. The flavors were spot on; it truly felt like home-cooked Mexican food. Plus, each of us enjoyed our cocktails. The margaritas are fabulous! A perfect place for both a casual dinner or to celebrate special occasions. I recommend it to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)
