Cantina

Mexican Restaurant $$ 4.4 (1958)


Cantina provides a vibrant atmosphere and a diverse menu that many customers appreciate. However, the authenticity of the food is sometimes called into question, with hints of a more Americanized approach to Mexican cuisine rather than truly traditional dishes. Service is generally praised, contributing to a welcoming dining experience, but portion sizes can vary, impacting overall satisfaction.

" tried Cantina multiple times now and it continues to deliver good experiences! The drinks are creative and robust, making it the perfect place to start a fun night out. I highly recommend their cantina nachos for sharing – they’re a crowd-pleaser. However, I wish the food had a bit more authenticity to it; the flavors can sometimes feel a bit dialed down. Still, it's a great setting to enjoy good company! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cantina was a nice surprise during our stay in Saratoga Springs! We stopped in for lunch and were welcomed right away. The vibe inside was bustling yet charming. I ordered the fish tacos and they were flavorful, served with a tangy sauce that complemented them well. My friend opted for the beef burrito, which he found to be satisfying but on the smaller side for the price. We both enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. I would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a lively lunch stop. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at Cantina last week and was thrilled with the service. The waiter was attentive and friendly right from the start. I opted for the chicken chimichangas, which were nice but a bit basic. The ambiance is fun and vibrant, great space for groups or families! Definitely enjoyed the experience, and while the food didn't blow me away, it was solid. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Cantina after hearing so many great things. While the service was friendly, I was a bit disappointed with the authenticity. The tacos were good, but they didn’t have the depth of flavor I expected from a traditional Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere, however, is lovely and vibrant, and I think it's a great spot for a casual night out. I had a margarita that was perfectly refreshing but a bit on the sweeter side. If you're looking for a fun place to share drinks with friends, this is it, but don't come expecting the most authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cantina has become my go-to spot whenever I'm in die need of some good Mexican food! The margaritas are hands down the best in town. I love sitting on the rooftop bar; the view is fantastic and creates a cheerful atmosphere. I recently tried the birria tacos and they were packed with flavor - just right for my taste buds! Beyond the food and drinks, the staff is always jovial and eager to ensure you have a good experience. Definitely a place I recommend to friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the first moment we walked into Cantina, I was taken with the colorful and lively decor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were flavorful. We started with avocado fries – a fun twist! For my main dish, I tried the carne asada tacos, which were really fulfilling but lacked a bit more spice for an authentic taste. While the ambiance is fantastic for gatherings, I hope they could elevate their flavor profiles more to attract traditional Mexican food lovers. Overall, a nice place for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cantina is a solid choice for a casual night out; it has a great cocktail menu and lively atmosphere which I enjoyed. The tacos are quite tasty, though they're not quite the authentic experience I hoped for. Definitely a social atmosphere with lots of laughter and conversation; it's a good spot for gatherings. I’d return for more drinks, but I'm still searching for that true flavor of Mexico. " (*Curated Review*)
