La Villita Cantina is a local favorite known for its top-notch food and delicious margaritas. It is a solid place in the neighborhood, with a happy hour until 6pm that is considered one of the best in town. The servers are hardworking and accommodating, with many guests praising the kind service from staff like Kevin and the fun bartender Cole. The menu features a variety of choices, including modern and exciting vegetarian and vegan options, which many customers find helpful. Diners have enjoyed dishes like the Roasted Cauliflower Shawarma Bowl, noting its hearty portion and balance with beans, onions, guacamole, and salsa. The options to make things tacos, burritos, or bowls keep customers coming back to try different variations. Although chips and guacamole are not complimentary, the overall experience is lively and great for a casual dinner or happy hour. The atmosphere is loved, especially the upstairs seating area, which provides a VIP experience. It is conveniently located near popular spots like UCB Theatre and Wacky locations like Birds next door. However, there have been some concerns regarding disruptive customers affecting the dining experience for some guests. Despite this, many find La Villita Cantina to be a dope restaurant, especially for its fresh food, strong drinks, and satisfying nachos. Those who enjoy Mexican food are often impressed and eager to return.
