" Just visited Boathouse Cantina for dinner and it was delightful! I had a black bean burger, and it had a wonderful smoky flavor to it. It was nice to enjoy the peaceful river view while having our meal. My friends ordered tacos and they seemed happy with them. Service was friendly, but it did take a while to get our food. Still, I would recommend this place for a relaxed meal with a beautiful view. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic find! My friends and I popped into Boathouse Cantina on a whim and were blown away by the scenery and the great food. I went for the grilled salmon and it was cooked to perfection. They had a nice selection of local beers as well. However, I felt our server could have checked on us a bit more often, as we had to flag him down for our checks and drinks. Nonetheless, we had a lovely dinner experience and would definitely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Boathouse Cantina is definitely a spot to check out when visiting Salida. You’re greeted with a vibrant atmosphere and beautiful river views. I tried the fish & chips, and while the fish was overcooked initially, the staff promptly corrected it and it was delicious the second time. The drinks are also a hit, especially the margaritas! Although a little hiccup here and there could improve their servicea, I appreciated the restaurant’s ability to bounce back. " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried Boathouse Cantina while visiting Salida, and let me say, I was impressed! The variety of drinks is fantastic, and the margaritas are especially noteworthy! I had a shrimp salad that was fresh and flavorful, while my partner enjoyed a hearty burger. The outdoor seating made it even better, as we took in the stunning view. Service was mostly good, though we had to wait a bit longer for our checks. Overall, a pricey meal, but I’d gladly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited Boathouse Cantina and I was not disappointed! Our waiter was phenomenal, his suggestions were spot on. The brisket tacos I had were substantial, and bursting with flavors. The ambiance was lively with locals and tourists alike. I wish I had made room for dessert because I heard it was amazing too! A beautiful location with attractive decor—it’s a great place to bring friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" Boathouse Cantina is a unique location. We especially enjoyed watching the river rafters and kayakers while we dined. I ordered the nachos and they were surprisingly good and loaded with toppings! My friend had a quinoa salad which was fresh and crunchy. The service was helpful, but had a few hiccups as they were busy. I would definitely recommend it for a casual meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Boathouse Cantina with high hopes after hearing friends rave about it. The location is superb, and the overall vibe is inviting. I tried the duck tacos, and while they had good seasoning, I thought the portion could have been larger for the price. The service felt a bit rushed; I think it was the busy evening crowd. Overall, not bad but I expected a bit more for a highly praised place. " (*Curated Review*)
