" I visited Bear Cantina and was slightly disappointed. The food was decent but not as flavorful as I hoped. I tried the enchiladas but they seemed a bit bland. The service was adequate, though we did wait longer than expected for our drinks. The atmosphere is lovely with the river view, but I expected more from the food. Might try again, but I'm not in a rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, Bear Cantina exceeded my expectations! We were greeted warmly and seated quickly. I had the enchiladas and they were just delightful. The portions were generous, and the flavors were truly authentic. Our drinks were also delightful, especially the hibiscus margarita. It was wonderful to be able to dine with our dog on the patio. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a tasty meal in a charming setting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed my meal at Bear Cantina! The vegan options they offered were plentiful, and my friend loved their jackfruit tacos. The environment is charming, and you can't beat the location by the water. Our server was cheerful and made good recommendations. I would come back again to try something else on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, I didn’t find this place to be as amazing as the reviews claimed. The food was decent but lacked the authentic touch I was hoping for. The ambiance was nice, but service was a bit underwhelming. I wouldn't say I won’t come back, but it didn’t blow me away like I expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bear Cantina is hit or miss for me. I tried the chicken enchiladas, and while they were good, they weren’t anything extraordinary. The environment is nice with an outdoor option, but I felt the food lacked a certain authenticity. The prices are reasonable but not the cheapest. I would suggest visiting with low expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was decent but I expected more authenticity. The margaritas were refreshing, but a bit on the pricey side. The environment was cozy and inviting, which I appreciated. I would still recommend this place, but just know that while the vibes are great, the food was not as mind-blowing as some reviews suggest. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bear Cantina has great food, but I felt like they could do better with service. Our waitress was friendly, but the wait for food was longer than anticipated. When it arrived though, my burrito was massive and bursting with flavors! Definitely try it if you're in the area. The ambiance was also really nice, especially with the outdoor seating, making up for the wait. " (*Curated Review*)
