Been in Tuscaloosa for 7 months now and I’ve tried every restaurant but socal cantina is the one I can’t stop going to, the California style Mexican food is just unbeatable. I recommend getting the socal burrito with or without meat it’s still delicious also I always order chips and salsa to go which they give to me for free(only place that does that) and they’re amazing at making drinks. I find it quite hilarious to see the one star reviews and their comments because...

It was really delicious as hell. I love that food so much. I get quesadillas with chicken and avocado, but I wish that they give us more sour cream dips. But it’s okay! It’s really good. Definitely will come back again next time for sure!

We decided to try this place out before going to a concert with friends, and we all LOVED IT!!! The food was amazing, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was perfect! We will definitely be back!!!
