" We had a family dinner at The Grand Cantina last weekend. I was very impressed by the kids' options, and everyone found something they loved. My favorite was the loaded duck fat fries—so delicious! My partner had the fish tacos which she said were good, but perhaps slightly overcooked. The vibe is fun and laid-back, great for a family or casual meal. The servers were friendly too. Overall, it was a positive experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tonight was our first visit and I was blown away by the amazing decor! The margaritas were fantastic, and the food came out quickly. However, I was slightly let down by the flavors of the tacos which should have been more bold and dynamic. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere! A decent place overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high hopes for The Grand Cantina owing to numerous recommendations, but I found the food pretty average. While my expectations for authenticity were tempered, I expected some flair—unfortunately, the tacos I had were quite forgettable. However, the ambiance is fun and the cocktails were spot on. Perhaps it’s the luck of the draw with the food items. I'd be open to trying again in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations given the reviews, but I was slightly let down. The tacos' flavors weren't as bright as I expected, though the service was excellent and the environment vibrant. The duck fat fries were a highlight for sure! I appreciate the variety on the menu, but food needs more seasoning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What an unexpected find in Windsor! The Grand Cantina is truly delightful. The atmosphere is vibrant and joyful, and the staff are attentive without being overbearing. I ordered the taco trio and loved the variety. The coconut shrimp taco was my favorite—such a unique taste! However, the portions felt on the smaller side considering the price. Regardless, I can't wait to go back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I adore The Grand Cantina! The atmosphere is perfectly balanced between trendy and cozy, making it great for friends and families alike. I enjoyed their signature tacos, particularly the shrimp which was cooked to perfection! The friendly service staff made our experience exciting. However, one critique would have to be the pricing on drinks; just a tad expensive. Still eager to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited for a Friday dinner after hearing several friends rave about the place. I was impressed by the variety of tacos and how colorful the plates were when served. My friend ordered the shrimp tacos and said they were delicious, but I was a bit disappointed with my vegetarian tacos as they lacked seasoning. The drinks are fabulous! Still had a great time.
