Trash service and trash drinks!! 17 dollars for water with a dash of alcohol and rude bartenders. I will never give one more dollar to this cheap establishment.

Website and Yelp showed they were open. When we arrived the location was closed down at 5pm on a Tuesday. It looked to be out of business.

Really fun Bar to attend on Thurs Nights. They have a DJ and the place lights up for sure. The bar tenders are great and the crowd is fun. Also the view is nice of the surrounding city.

Atmosphere: 5

Service: 5

When making reservations, be informed that if you decide to eat inside it is in the upstairs bar area. The music is loud and more for the younger patrons. That aside, the food was great!! Completely made up for the loud atmosphere. Next time it will be on the patio or wait downstairs for a table.

Made a reservation, when we arrived hostess said it was for the club upstairs - no mention of that when we made the reservation. Then she said 5 minutes to get us a table in the dining room. After 15 minutes we checked and they said another 30 minutes.

The reservation was not what we had planned. We thought we were going to get to eat in the dining room but they insisted we be in the nightclub area due to the fact that we used Open Table to make our reservation. We had 2 minors with us needed to be out by 8:00 and our reservation was at 7:00. But they ended up letting us stay because 3 of us were spending money having cocktails.

Food & drinks:4 starsI've been to Cantina 3 times now and all times I've been impressed by their cocktails consistently. Great variety of specialty cocktails with fun names. Many places have the bells and whistles on their cocktails but that's all it is, a show. Cantina's cocktails actually taste good so that's a major plus. I've had Como la Flor, Bésame Mucho, and La Trokita. All have been fantastic. They also do a really fun birthday celebration with a complimentary shot and sparklers. The food is surprisingly good! We've had a variety of items on the menu and they've been tasty. The only thing that I've had that is bland is their beans (black beans) that come with your meal. The guacamole and the quemaditas with carne asada and chorizo are our favorite starters. Atmosphere: 3 stars You really have to be in the mood for a party type of vibe to come here. They have the music blasting and feels very club-ish so if you're not into that, this might not be your cup of tea. It's a fun place but I've encountered a couple of annoying customers just doing too much which affects the experience. You really have to be ready for what you're getting atmosphere-wise. Location:Cantina itself is beautiful! Great decor and space. You get great views from the 3rd floor. Cantina 31 is located on the 3rd floor above Limon y Sal. It's right on Main street by a parking structure so it's easily accessible. If you want to have a party night out with actual good food and drinks then this is the perfect place to go to.

This location has been closed since August. I'm sure their food is amazing, but I'm not sure why they allowed for this reservation to be booked. We even received a confirmation email, only to find that this restaurant is closed. We had to find last minute birthday accommodations.

Worst experience ever here super disappointed. No toilet paper in bathroom at opening. No bartender available and one overworked gracious waitress who did her best to take care of the whole floor. We were limited to ordering beer or margaritas due to no bartender. Got our food and had to wait forever to get plates to serve ourselves from the taco platter. We ordered guacamole as an appetizer it was perfection, yet the guac served with our tacos was from a seperate old not fresh made batch.

Popped in for a late lunch after being drawn in from the great aromas. Seated quickly and served promptly with enthusiasm and a smile by Sara. Guacamole Tour app was fun and fresh - standard guac with 3 topping options. We had marlin fish tacos, enchiladas divorciadas, seafood enchilada , a chorizo tostada (all plated beautifully with generous portions), and amazing margaritas. One pineapple flavor and one cucumber flavor both ringed with tajin. Delicious!!

After having a disastrous start to a birthday brunch this past weekend, this place was a breath of fresh air! We called last minute, as the initial place we reserved was falsely advertising weekend brunch. We were a large group, and I called last minute while we were on our way and luckily they were able to take us with short notice. Not only was the remodeled upstairs beautiful, but the service was 10/10 as well as the food. Despite being a large group, that showed up last minute we really had great service. We had the best time and will definitely be back! Thanks for saving the day

First of all I like to say that we frequent this restaurant often and the food is always very tasty however this visit we encountered a very rude and with an attitude server. It took around 15 minutes for her to finally approach our table to request drinks. We requested nonalcoholic beers with some waters and a regular beer. Once again we waited 10 to 15 minutes. When she did finally bring the beers we noticed that the two beers that we had ordered non-alcoholic were indeed alcoholic 5% we pointed out to her that they were alcoholic and she stated “well I give this beer to all my customers” . We then asked her to remove them from our table and bring us two ice teas once again we waited another 10 minutes when she did bring them we were asking for some sugar and she walked away. My friend left our table to request sugar from the bar and the bartender said she had no sugar. When our server was passing by our table we flagged her down and we requested sugar for the iced teas she finally brought the sugar but again we had to wait. We asked to speak to a manager and requested a different server. We did not get a different server however we were served our food immediately . Our servers name was Laura # 32 I know this because it’s on our receipt. I suggest that she brush up on her customer service and learn how to read or know her menu, because many people do not drink alcohol and it is a great injustice to be deceived. I Want to end up in a positive review. Food is always great I will be returning, but I’ll make sure that I do not have the same server.

Table was way to small for dishes. This was kind of a small plate menu but no help was given for that Mentioned it was a birthday party and there was no recognition when others got some Disappointing. Cocktails were outstanding.

Very good. Very friendly service, quick seating: we sat at the rooftop (closed or open rooftop can change depending on weather). Downtown so have to park on the strip further away but the street is closed and you can walk freely and see lots of stores.Best bang for your buck will be the starter 4 tacos (around the world). It's huge and easily shared with 2-4 people depending on a petite. I got the ceviche. It was very good but was not served in limey tomatoey sauce, served with toasted corn tortillas. Very delicious limey and cilantro filled. Enchiladas con mole were fairly bland, the beans it came with were delicious but lacking spice and flavor in the enchiladas. I say this as a Latina so perhaps they will be flavorful to those with different palettes or those who aren't accustomed to homemade Enchiladas. Restaurants were easy to find and great tequila selection I had an excellent margarita with Tajin rim!

We had been there before for drinks! We checked out the menu and we're excited about what was offered!! I was a bit disappointed in the food, but the drinks, service and attention was fantastic!! I hope you rethink the total nightclub vibe and concentrate on upscale food!!
