The food is great and tastes amazing, BUT the prices are at least double what they should be. $14 for a shot glass of queso and 9 chips? $12 for cocktails that aren’t that strong and very small. And the tacos….they’re so good….but they’re just itty bitty little things! Perhaps that’s just Joe Biden’s America? Other than that it’s a wonderful place with a good atmosphere.

Great atmosphere and fantastic service. The staff elevates the experience from just an ordinary lunch to an event. This place has been such a highlight on our trip to Mont Tremblant.

Found a bug in the socal burrito. The quesadilla had aluminum foil cooked into it in sheets. They didn’t even give us the tostadas we ordered. I guess at least the cake was good, but we’re never getting food from such a filthy incompetent place again.

Honestly not bad, the food and drinks are good, a little pricey. My issue with Socal Cantina lies with the foundation of claiming to be Southern California. Being from Irvine myself, I was excited at first until I saw the menu. Now I can understand the thought process for using Tijuana as a name for a dish, since its right over the border. However, they have a dish called Oakland, which is Norcal. Unacceptable and quite frankly fraudulent. They either should rename themselves to just California Cantina or atleast replace this item with a new town, IE (irvine: KBBQ taco). Until then, I can not recommend this fraudulent establishment.
We visit every time we are in Tuscaloosa. The crunch wrap is my favorite. The drinks are amazing. Friendly service. Love the decor in the restaurant and the witty sidewalk signs!!

The location and space are really good but I was really disappointed with the portion and quality of the food. It's really expensive for really mediocre tacos If you don't fix this I don't know if you can sell enough alcohol to offset why people will come back

Had the dip trioLong Beach tacos Both excellent. The chips are spectacular. Quasi was just spicy enough. Guacamole was perfect. Not too chunky but not processed smooth. Pico was perfectly chunky. Just wish they had sweet tea.

First of all, I'd like to say that my server Jarred was amazing. As soon as we were sat, my party & I were greeted with the most welcoming smile & personality. We were given the suggestion to try the Gardeners Margarita, as it was the most awarded drink on the menu, and I must say it's the best drink I've had in Tuscaloosa. Amazing vibes, amazing service. 10/10!!

I'm not sure I have ever felt so unwelcome in a spot like this before.
