"Over price for what you get. I ordered a skirt steak, it was chewy and small. The sides were small as well. They give you salsa and chips that's a plus. The environment was pleasant. But I really wasn't impressed with the food."

"If you go to a Tequila bar & order a Margarita one would expect it to have "limes".  This wasn't disclosed until after the order.  The manager explained it was too expensive to purchase them from Target due to his supplier not meeting the demand.  The food was marginal.  We won't be return customers. Mexican food is a favorite but this place wasn..." Read more

"I had the ceviche and the steak fajitas. Ceviche was fine, not great but not bad.  Fajitas on the other hand was a huge disappointment.  Smelled good when it arrived but steak was overcooked and lacked flavor."

"Ok flavor - 3rd time I've been here but this time was no bueno. Wife's fish tacos and my chicken tacos were literally all lettuce. Had to search for a tiny itsy bitsy piece of meat in her 2 and my 3 tacos. Good salsa but you'll get ripped off on your dinner. I'm done here."

"We wanted to like this place. We stopped here for a couple of appetizers around 2:00 on a Sunday. Grabbed a seat at the bar. We were one or 6 groups/tables. Bartender was a bit slow so I pulled the menu up online. When she came to take our order the first thing we wanted to order she said "oh we don't have that". She then gave us a pretty pared back..."

"I'm not the type to leave reviews.. usually just read them but I have strong opinions about this restaurant. I want to start my saying that out waiter was the best part, good job. My partner and I ate here tonight because we had a gift card and decided once we saw the prices to not go over the $25 gift card too much, so we skipped the margaritas...." Read more

"Terrible service, we didn't see our server until about 15 minutes after being sat down. We ordered our drinks and our server didn't even wait for us to finish our order before she was walking away. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks, 30 minutes for our appetizer and 1 hour for our food. Our server kept saying the kitchen was backed up, but there was about 4..." Read more

"I never ate the lunch I hoped to have!  I placed my order with the bartender on a very slow Saturday at Cantina, but then she was distracted by a couple's billing discrepancy.  After two rounds of discussion with the manager and delivering another patron's check, she swung by 15-20 minutes later to ask if everything was OK.  I asked if  she had placed my ord..."

"I was delightfully disappointed in this restaurant. The only thing worthwhile was the salsa. Are silverware and food had the reminiscence of a Mexican chow hall. If I was the owner I would be embarrassed to have that kind of silverware laying out. I'm pretty sure I owned the same set when I first went to college. literally, they bought mine at a yard sale an..." Read more

"We went for Cinco De Mayo.   We sat for 15 or more minutes before we finally got a drink.  I had to beg that server to wait on us.  The menu was limited.  School lunch was better than their WAY OVER PRICED limited menu.  No they were not very busy when we were there.  We will try again on a regular night."

"The food is what you expect at a Mexican restaurant. We have been here multiple times, usually during the week and the service has been very slow every time. Not sure why it takes 20 minutes to bring out 2 plates of tacos on taco Tuesday but it is slow! Don't come here if you are looking for a quick meal."

"Not bad, do not get me wrong. I just have a problem with the service. I have been here twice and both times the waitresses have been snotty and very cold. The food takes a very very long time and it's kinda just... eh. The food is bland and doesn't really have much flavor. They also charge you for every refill you get and they always neglect mentioning that..." Read more

"Pretty restaurant.  Very slow kitchen.  Food ehhh.   The place is empty but it takes a half hour to get the food and frankly the guacamole doesn't taste right.   Not coming back here."

"Signature drink poor at best. Need some alcohol in it. Waitress left to get chips and disappeared off the face of the earth. Food was worth the money but that was about it. We have been to this place before and remembered it as worth going back to. So many other choices this place better do a better job if they want to keep the people coming. Disappointing,..."

"We stopped on our journey down to Miami to see my family for Thanksgiving and everything took forever. The guacamole was awesome, table side prep was cool. Yet, we ordered only one entree and it took an eternity. A Tuesday evening meal that should have been an hour from start to finish was nearly two. It got very frustrating and we overate chips until we bot..." Read more

"When you dine out, you have to take into consideration the atmosphere, the service, and the food.This restaurant was clean, which is saying a lot these days.The service was attentive and completely acceptable.Fifteen dollars for three steak tacos that hardly had any ANYTHING in them? It was a joke. Plus, what was there had no flavor...." Read more

"Very casual Mexican restaurant with cute decorations on the inside. The salsa Tomatio was phenomenal, had to refill on it, but the queso, street tacos and quesadilla were average at best. We waited an exceptionally long time for our food because everything is premade in the morning, so be careful! They have a great deal on Tuesday's for the street tacos, che..." Read more

"I'm falling out of love with this restaurant. After having a couple of very good meals, our two most recent visits have been disappointing. The greeter was half asleep when we walked into the (near empty) restaurant tonight. When asked if we wanted a table or a booth, we said, 'table.' She escorted us to a booth. After two failed attempts at making a Mojito..." Read more

"I feel I'm being generous giving 2 stars. A big group of us went there, it was my first time, and when we asked for a table they said it would be over an hour. Well, that turned into never. We never got a table, therefore never got to eat, so can't even review the food, which I was looking forward to. The best part about the night we were there was the barte..." Read more

"Love trying New Mexican places. Was excited to see this open, but I was disappointed in the food. The chips were sub-par and the salsa was boring. My husband had enchiladas and thought they were "okay". I had fajitas and I would rate them 2 out of 5. The steak was overcooked and there wasn't a lot of it. And mushrooms cooked with the peppers & on..." Read more

"I'm sure this place is an awesome bar on the weekend. But it's no place to come for dinner on a Monday night.The margarita I had was really good. The green tomatillo salsa wasn't bad but didn't have much to offer. My burrito was ok, but not worth double (and a bit more) the price of an "authentic" Mexican joint. My wife's tacos were too hard..." Read more
