" I visited Cantina Del Centro after hearing great things! It did not disappoint. The tacos were phenomenal, especially the fish tacos that reminded me of my trip to Baja California! The service was friendly, but we did experience a bit of a wait. The atmosphere was lively and perfect for a casual night out. One thing I would suggest is to possibly expand the menu a bit more with vegetarian options, but otherwise, I will definitely be returning to get my taco fix! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! Stopped by Cantina Del Centro during our road trip. The outdoor seating was very inviting, and we decided to share a few different tacos. I was particularly impressed with the shrimp tacos! They were flavorful and generous with the fillings. Service was friendly and attentive. Although the prices were a bit on the higher side, it was worth every penny for the quality of food. Would absolutely visit again if I find myself in Nelson! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Cantina Del Centro. The service was unacceptably slow and inattentive, which made waiting for our food feel like an eternity. When it finally arrived, I found the portion sizes to be quite lacking, especially given the prices on the menu. While the tacos did have decent flavors, they fell short of the authentic experience I was looking for. I doubt I will return. " (*Curated Review*)

" On Taco Tuesday, we decided to check out Cantina Del Centro after hearing such great things. Our expectations were met with great food and a solid atmosphere. I particularly liked the variety of salsas that came with my tacos, giving me the chance to mix flavors. It was busy, so service was a bit slow, but our waitress was friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love authentic Mexican cuisine, Cantina Del Centro is the place! My husband and I visited on Taco Tuesday and the deals were fantastic. We indulged in a mix of different tacos, and every single one was delicious. I would especially recommend the Al Pastor. The only complaint I have is that the portions could have been a little more generous for the price. However, the quality and taste more than made up for it. The ambience was vibrant with great music in the background. Overall, a lovely evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" On our trip to Nelson, we knew we had to try Cantina Del Centro after wide recommendations. We loved every bite! The tacos were seasoned perfectly, with a kick of spice that was just right. The ambiance was lively but not overwhelming, making it perfect for a relaxed dinner. Unfortunately, the service was a bit inconsistent—at times prompt and at others a bit slow. Despite that, I would definitely return for those tasty tacos again! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a Mexican national, I can be particularly picky about how my tacos should taste, and I must say Cantina Del Centro does a commendable job! My tacos brought back memories of the streets of Mexico with their outstanding flavors. The staff were friendly, although we did feel a little rushed. It’s a bit up there on pricing, but the quality puts it on my 'must visit' list while in Nelson. Very much looking forward to a return visit! " (*Curated Review*)
