" The outdoor space is really beautiful and gives you a lovely vibe. Unfortunately, that’s about it. I had high hopes coming here but the food was severely lacking. The veggie burrito was just mostly lettuce with a bland flavor. The cocktails were decent though, which is probably why we stayed long enough to leave a tip. I doubt I’d return if it’s for food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The outdoor dining was enjoyable, but the food just didn’t cut it. We felt the prices are high for standard fare that lacks creativity. The patio was lovely, perfect for drinks, but for real Mexican cuisine, I’d suggest looking elsewhere. The chipotle chicken taco was bland and didn't reflect authentic cooking methods at all. A real letdown! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great outdoor vibe! However, the tacos didn’t impress me at all. The beef was dry and lacked seasoning, while the tortilla tasted stale. I expected better given the prices for the food. The service was okay but lost in the chaos of orders. I would recommend this place mainly for drinks, not for food. Overall, a mixed experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a letdown! We were excited to eat here, but the food didn’t live up to our expectations. The meat was dry and lacked seasoning, and the tortillas weren’t fresh. The service was prompt, but overall, we won't be returning for the food and will likely try another place next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were really looking forward to a tasty meal, especially after hearing some good things about this place! However, the tacos came out lukewarm and lacked any sort of seasoning. The atmosphere was great - a lovely patio setting - but food quality is just as important when eating out. I’m sad to say I won’t return just for the ambiance. " (*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*)
