" I was disappointed with my experience at Lilly’s too salty and bland for my taste, but at least the service was great. The staff was friendly and very accommodating, but the food just didn’t hit the mark. I had the beef tacos which I thought would be authentic but fell short. I might give it another chance based on my friends’ experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" A little gem in the city! I love how every table is treated like family. Definitely a place where the staff knows how to make you feel at home. The deep-fried tacos are my favorite dish so far. Missed out on an order of margaritas, but heard they are not to be missed! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always love when I can support family-run businesses, and Lilly's Cantina is no exception. You can taste the love in every bite! Their tacos are amazing, and you have to try their unique pickled salsa. Quick service and delicious food keep me coming back. Definitely recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is wonderful for a casual night out. Everything from their cheese dip to their traditional margaritas is top notch. The owners are incredibly charming and always take the time to talk to their customers. I just love it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The authenticity at Lilly's is evident! Every bite tastes as if it were crafted with passion. The salsa was fresh, and the chips were crispy. Their cheese dip is a fan favorite. Although I had to wait a bit for my food, the quality made up for it. I'll definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was not sure what to expect from this little place, but I have to say it was fantastic! The food is great and the service has a personal touch that is hard to find these days. The mango margarita was superb! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was pretty good, but I was expecting more authenticity based on other reviews. The chips and salsa were delicious, but I felt the enchiladas lacked the spice I enjoy. However, the service was excellent, and the staff made every effort to ensure we were happy. I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
