" Had a good experience overall at Camp Cantina. The food was decent; I just found that the flavors were a bit muted. I heard the chef can really hit it out of the park with their specials, so I may visit again to see if I can catch one of those. The atmosphere is nice, and the staff were friendly. Hoping for a bit more next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I stepped into Camp Cantina, I knew I chose the right place for dinner with friends. The vibrant atmosphere is welcoming and fun. We shared a variety of dishes starting with their street corn—so fresh and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I had the carne asada, and it was cooked to a perfect medium-rare with a lovely seasoning that kept me coming back for more. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, which is often hard to find. The drinks were equally impressive, especially the jalapeño margarita, which added a nice kick. I left feeling happy and fulfilled, and I'm already planning my next visit. Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving a lively night out with amazing food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Camp Cantina is simply a gem! The food is authentically delicious and beautifully presented. I had the pleasure of indulging in their enchiladas—absolutely stunning! The service was quick, and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. I can say that this place feels like a celebration of flavors, and I can’t wait to come back! Wonderful dining experience all around. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an enjoyable dinner at Camp Cantina recently. The aromas wafting from the kitchen were enticing as we walked in, and I was not disappointed by the food. I ordered the queso fundido as an appetizer and was delighted by how cheesy and satisfying it was. For the main course, I had the chicken enchiladas, which were equally delightful. I would say Camp Cantina is a solid spot for good Mexican fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Camp Cantina during a recent outing with friends, and let me tell you—the tacos are phenomenal! The environment is lively and perfect for a casual meetup, plus the drinks are top tier. I had the al pastor, and it was packed with flavor and served with fresh sides. We enjoyed some churros for dessert, which rounded out the meal nicely. I’m looking forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was delicious but the service missed the mark a bit. We had to wait longer than we expected for our drinks, but when they arrived, the margaritas were great! The atmosphere was festive, making it a good place for groups. I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were flavorful but a tad too salty for my taste. Overall, a decent experience, but I hope for quicker service next time. " (*Curated Review*)
