I’ve always enjoyed the food here. It’s not fancy, but it’s consistently good and priced fairly. I had what looked like it was going to be a terrible experience today when I ordered pickup through GrubHub. I timed my order to pick up as I was passing through town because I was trailering a horse. When I got to the restaurant, GrubHub said my order was still in process. After waiting another half an hour, I went inside to find that the order had in fact been ready the whole time, and of course was cold. When I explained what had happened, they immediately started refiring my fish tacos, and had them hot and ready to go in just a few minutes. Apparently, GrubHub does not communicate with the restaurant or people who order pick up- So the blame lies with them, but the buck stopped at La Cantina. The tacos were delicious as always. This place is great.

We were visiting from Massachusetts and were feeling some Mexican food. We came across this restaurant and were excited. My husband and I were joking how you can't mess up authentic Mexican food. Sadly, we would soon find out that it was possible.
When we got the food, it looked amazing. The waitress asked if I wanted any mustard or ketchup. I thought that was a crazy ask. Why would I mess with the flavoring, I thought. When I went to try the food, it was like drinking water. There was little to no flavor. Looks are deceiving. There menu had an extensive list of American food. We should have known better. Maybe it was an off day.
Although we didn't really enjoy the food, we were grateful to eat after hiking 3 hours. The service was wonderful and it was super quiet. It was a great vibe. We just didn't get the bold flavors we are used to experiencing. I can't say that we will be back.

We ordered mozzarella sticks burrito bowl and a burrito. The mozzarella sticks were still very cold In the middle the cheese wasn't even remotely melted. The burrito bowl flavorless the burrito was hot outside but barely warm inside. My opinion food was disgusting the go again

Arrived there about 2:30pm. I had the LaCantina Special that consisted of Spanish rice, soft tortillas, grilled marinated steak, chicken, shrimp and chorizo with refried beans. My wife had the burrito. Three delicious margaritas and then churros and coffee. The food was delicious, our waitress friendly and very accomodating and the prices are super reasonable. We'll be sure to return and soon!

I happen to be driving by so we decided to stop and it probably the best Mexican food I've ever eaten! Everything was fresh and delicious. And definitely have the churros I got an order to go home and they didn't make it home LOL
Absolutely terrible…trash place, come here last year and it was not that great, gave it a second shot this year traveling and it’s gotten worse!!!!! What Mexican restaurant doesn’t have queso or is “out”? Horrible bar service!

The food and service is always excellent here. My favorite restaurant in town. Making this review in response to how they fixed GrubHubs failure. After the driver never came to pick up my order from them, they reached out and offered to bring it to me! So impressed with how they’re always willing to go above and beyond.
