La Cantina Bar & Restaurant

We come here regularly and love the staff and atmosphere. The staff are friendly and personable, the food we've tried is delicious (esp the civiche and tacos) and the cocktails are strong. We love having this local spot to end the work week at!

Soooo glad we decided to visit this place. Only 3 blocks away from where we live. Ted the manager/bartender was super friendly and attentive. Melissa our first bartender was also very friendly and accommodating! We went there 2 times in the same week and will be going back this coming Tuesday with friends.
The queso dip is awesome. My husband had the smash burger the first night and I had the ensalada riviera Maya...both were excellent. We shared the cheese enchilada dinner again wonderful. Some very inventive drinks and tasty. We will definitely be telling all or our friends about this place. Having lived here for over 50 years that is a lot of people to share with~

Convenient location for us, good atmosphere, good food. I like their guacamole, fajitas and margaritas. We sat both indoors and patio. Patio dining was nice with our dog.

The service was slow as they had only a waiter and the Manager for a Sat. Lunch. I thought the chips were stale, my enchilada was incredibly salty (confirmed by my son). My son liked the seafood enchiladas and thought the rice was good. Wife's Birria taco was bland. We'll try it one more time.

Having lived in the neighborhood for three decades, family and I are ecstatic to have a high quality eatery with outstanding drinks and ambience within walking distance. We have yet to have order a dish or drink that we did not enjoy thoroughly. Highlights for us thus far have been the margaritas (favorite is La Monarca with Mezcal), the tacos (Aguacate are a favorite for the vegetarians in my family), and my personal favorite dish is the Molcajete (tremendous taste and presentation at a great price point). The service and ambience has been the icing on the cake, thank you Ted and team for making our meals and several family events special every time; can't wait for our next visit!! :)

We started with the guacamole which was creamy and delicious! We polished off a whole bowl of crispy, thin chips with that! The waitress told us we had ten more minutes to order off the Happy Hour menu! So we quickly ordered 3 more items off the HHM and we were not disappointed! The three other dishes we ordered were the Aguachiles, which was a light and refreshing dish of shrimp, cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, onions and lime! The corn ribs were excellent! I have made these myself at home and it is not an easy task to get them with just the right amount of burnt grilled flavoring! Lastly, we got a chicken sopes. The house Margaritas are delicious but they make so many different kinds of margaritas that La Cantina is just beckoning us back! We are yet to taste the mole, ceviche and so much more! Our sombreros are off to Chef Hector! If you are on the fence about trying yet another Mexican restaurant in SB, my advice is to go for their Happy Hour, which is everyday from 3:00-5:30pm. We’ll see you there because we will definitely be back! Oh wait! I forgot to mention that we couldn’t resist trying the churros which were light and crunchy (not oily) and they were served with a chocolate sauce (which needs some improvement) and my fave… condensed milk! So yummy! These were as good or better than I’ve had in Mexico where I vacation every year!
