"Always a favorite! Chips n salsa are good but the quest dip is great! I prefer it with chorizo!! I love that they have lettuce options for the tacos! Margaritas and other drinks (Tyler cherry- yum!) are super tasty and creative! In warmer weather, the patio is perfect!"

"I was looking forward to my meal at Cantina as I had enjoyed a meal there before but was very disappointed on this occasion. Our waiter was not very helpful or friendly. When I told her my margarita didn't taste right she just brought me more sour mix to make send myself at the table instead of offering me a new drink. When the extra mix didn't help the drink I returned it to the bar myself for a differet drink but was disappointed that I didn't get the margarita I was looking forward to having. The shrimp taco I ordered wasn't very good and the dessert selection was limited and way overpriced. I don't think I'll go back there again."
