" Cantina has a nice setup; the atmosphere was vibrant and the staff friendly! I greatly appreciated the complimentary appetizers. However, the chicken enchiladas weren't memorable and felt rather bland. Service was top-notch, and I had a good time overall. I might check it out again for a drink or two but may steer clear of the food next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were celebrating a birthday at Cantina and had a great time! The atmosphere really made the night special. We enjoyed multiple appetizers, and the complimentary bean dip was a hit! The burrito I ordered was good, but I felt it could use more seasoning. Service was quick and friendly which made the experience even better. Even though the food wasn’t top-tier, the overall vibe made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience! The attentiveness of the staff was refreshing, and the complimentary bean dip was a great start. The food is solid, although some choices are better than others. I would recommend the beef tacos as they’re packed with flavor! I could see myself coming back with friends for the great atmosphere and good service! " (*Curated Review*)

" I guess I expected too much from Cantina after hearing friends rave about it. I found the food to be average at best. The carne asada could have used more seasoning, and the tortillas tasted store-bought. The bean dip was a nice touch. On a positive note, the service was really attentive, and the margaritas were a highlight. I might return for drinks but perhaps not for a full meal again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Cantina after hearing all the buzz, but was left a bit disappointed. The atmosphere was great and lively, but the food was just average. The chicken enchilada tasted more like American food than authentic Mexican. The staff was friendly, and the service was timely, but I’m afraid I won’t be coming back anytime soon for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful meal! We celebrated our anniversary at Cantina, and it did not disappoint. We loved the ambiance and the dim, romantic lighting. The tacos were incredible and so flavorful! The drinks were great too, and our server made sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend the fajitas for a great dining experience. Overall, an authentic Mexican experience worthy of a repeat visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a large group for dinner and the Cantina staff handled us exceptionally well! Our shirts were promptly taken, and we received our drinks without delay. I particularly enjoyed the tacos. It was a lovely evening out, even if the food didn’t scream authentic Mexican. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back, especially for the fun atmosphere and great company. " (*Curated Review*)
