Great food! Service was mostly good, but poor communication hinged on one employee and cost the experience. I wouldn't let that dissuade you, food was great and location matched.

Decent Mexican food, however they are unable to accommodate Vegetarians and Vegans as their rice and beans are now cooked in lard/animal products. This is so frustrating because rice and beans can be so tasty without these products. It would be great if they could be a little more flexible and accommodating. Their guacamole is okay - overpriced however ($12) Salsa is amazing though!

Friendly, swift service. Delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine! Highway 50 close, steps to the charming old town business district, this restaurant is the perfect stop before or after an afternoon of antiquing.

Our first visit since ownership change and we were pleasantly surprised! Great service and the food was yummy!

This is probably the the only other restaurant I have been to that brings out salsa that not only has it's own distinct flavor, but also is spicy enough where I'm not asking my server to bring something more spicier than the tomato juice I often find in majority dine-in Mexican restaurants. I ordered fish tacos which were good, but the sauce was doused on each individual taco making the corn tortillas quickly soggy. That was my only complaint, but I still found the food of high quality.

Delicious dinners I had the chicken tacos they were fresh and delicious. My husband had the apple jalapeño carnitas and they were perfectly sweet! We tried the churros with caramel sauce and they were amazing! Highly recommend

Great ride and then a great lunch. This is probably some of the best Chili Verde I've had in a long time. Very tender and spiced just right. Rice and beans were good as well. Very attentive and efficient staff Definitely worth the stop.

Kind of disappointed. For one thing, for a Mexican restaurant not to offer either tamales or chili rellenos is unusual.The servers were pleasant, but we had to ask for silverware, and the waitress had to be convinced that we didn't have any. I had the fish tacos, which were tiny, though quite good. The water and chips came right away, and the chips were perfect--warm and crispy.My friends each had issues with their orders; though we agreed that everything tasted good.Overall, the menu had a lot of dishes that were innovative, I suppose, but they didn't cover the expected fare. The service was a bit disorganized.The Cantina wasn't bad, but I liked it much better when it was Tortilla Flats.

Food. Service. Atmosphere. All 10/10. Indoor outdoor seating reserved parking for free. The brunch was great and exploding with tons of meat. My wife and I agreed best done eggs EVER on the chilaquiles.

We love this place. They have really good food and the servers are always friendly even if short staffed. The menu is a bit limited and they charge for chips and salsa unlike most Mexican restaurants, but they have always been willing to refill the salsa for us. I really love their brisket tacos.
Driving back from Tahoe stopped into Placerville and Hangtown Cantina caught my eye. Super cute, good food and good serviceOrdered:Carnitas tacos 10/10So packed with carnitas the meat would fall out lol messy in the best wayCan't wait to go back when in the area again

Honestly the food was super super good. Waitress was awesome and casual, she was good at her job. My only hangup and I don't know if this is normal since this was my first time going there is there were flies inside. Like 5 of them and it drove my whole table crazy. We were sitting next to the window(closed) so maybe thats why they were in such concentration, but it was unpleasant. Like I said everything else was really really good, and I really hope our experience was abnormal but those flies ruined the experience

The people here are so friendly. The vibes are excellent. The good is off the hook. Don't have more then one margarita unless you want to fall asleep. They are very sneaky. Love this place big-time. Tip your beautiful waitress well. ?

The beet salad with the blackened shrimp was awesome. The tacos were a but dry and the carnitas did not taste fresh. However, the drinks are awesome and strong margaritas.
Parking: Paid parking adjacent to the restaurant had plenty of available spaces

Frannie C is a terific server/hostess, and their tacos are GREAT! I had the 4 Carnitas tacos, my daugher had the 4 shrimp tacos, and her partner/BF had the 4 smoked brisket tacos. We split an order of red chile rice & frijoles and all had Modello Especiales. Great food, great service, great ambiance, and great prices ($56 all in with tax & tip)
