" The restaurant offers a charming outdoor environment perfect for summer lunches. The service was attentive, and our server was polite. However, I was quite disappointed with the food. I ordered a chicken burrito and it was mainly comprised of dry chicken with a few veggies thrown in. The portion was adequate, but lacked flavor and authenticity. I would suggest reworking the recipes to reflect real Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" The location is beautiful, being surrounded by trees and a vibrant atmosphere. However, as a lover of authentic Mexican cuisine, I was disappointed. My burrito came wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla, and the meat tasted more like canned than cooked. The service was friendly but overwhelmed and the prices were steep for what I received. Perhaps if you're looking for ambiance, it's worth a visit, but don't expect a culinary delight. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I was not impressed by Taqueria Cantina. The atmosphere was lively, but the food was disappointing. I had the chicken burrito and it was very bland – like they just used plain boiled chicken with no seasoning or flavor. The service was fine but didn't compensate for the food. Sad to say I won’t be back for the overpriced fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could recommend Taqueria Cantina based on the ambiance, but the food brought down the entire experience. We ordered several tacos to share, but they were cold and tasteless. It seemed as though no effort was put into the cooking process, and the price point was just unreasonably high for what we received. Service was okay, but overall I was quite disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Taqueria Cantina is delightful, but unfortunately, the food does not live up to expectations. I had high hopes for the fish tacos based on some reviews, but what arrived was rather bland and unexciting. The tortillas felt frozen and the fish was overcooked. For the price, I expected much better. The service was prompt, but the quality of the food left me wanting more. It's a shame, as the outdoor seating is charming. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had high hopes based on some recommendations but ended up being quite disappointed at Taqueria Cantina. The food was overpriced and didn’t hold up to authentic flavors. The fish tacos were underwhelming and so was the portion size given what we paid. We did enjoy the ambiance, and the service was decent but I wouldn't recommend coming for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic outdoor seating with a nice atmosphere, but the food was disappointing. I ordered the steak taco but it was overcooked and flavorless. The prices were quite high given the quality of the food, and the margarita tasted more like sugar than anything else. I really wanted to love this place, but I left feeling underwhelmed and won’t be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
