We ordered the Street Skillet and it was delicious. The happy hour frozen margaritas were great and our bartender Olena was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Olena was nice and pleasant! Ask for her when you come here she’ll give the best service and drinks. She’s very friendly and engage with her customer. I enjoyed my time here because of her.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – CT Cantina & Taqueria (Dania Pointe, Dania Beach, FL)

I recently visited CT Cantina at Dania Pointe and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun—the vibe and music on Friday night were energetic (a bit loud, but part of the lively ambiance). Service was spot-on: fast, attentive, and our drinks were refilled promptly without having to ask.

What stood out:

The salsa game is strong—super flavorful and authentic. The only downside: the bright red overhead lights made it impossible to distinguish which salsa was which, since they all looked red.

Fresh chips and multiple dips were a treat—though I found them slightly oily, they still had great crunch and taste.

Tacos were solid but had some quirks: the flour tortillas were surprisingly thick, and they shrunk in size compared to past visits. The chicken felt a touch too salty and a bit dry. Still, flavors were enjoyable overall.

On the downside, there was no dessert station anymore—apparently your favorite dessert has been removed. That was a bummer, especially since you used to love it.

Summary:
CT Cantina & Taqueria delivers great ambiance, helpful staff, fast service, and excellent salsas and chips. While the tortilla texture and smaller portions with slightly salty chicken dragged the experience down a bit—and losing the dessert option was disappointing—it’s still worth a visit. Hoping they bring back that dessert station soon!

Happy to return—even without the dessert, it's still a solid spot for casual Mexican with flair.

We were in town for a bit and randomly came across this restaurant and the food was good but Olena made it the experience great! She went over and beyond and gave us some of the best service we’ve ever had from a bartender, and this was during happy hour which made it even more great!

I had an amazing experience at this Mexican restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Every dish was prepared perfectly, and the portions were generous. What truly stood out was the service — it was absolutely perfect. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. They were quick, polite, and made sure everything was just right. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food and top-notch service!

Tried it for the first time for some appetizers to kill some time before bowling. My husband ordered the salmon croquettes - they didn’t have any; so he ordered the tamales - they didn’t have that either. So he ordered guacamole, guess what - they didn’t have guacamole! My husband didn’t eat, I ordered 2 tacos, they were good but just know they are tiny. My son got the asada fries, they were good as well but when he unwrapped his fork, there was something black like tape wrapped around it. Our server wasn’t very friendly and didn’t seem to care about the inconveniences. Probably won’t be visiting again.

First time here and it will be our last. Bathrooms were filthy. There was no toilet paper and the paper towels dispenser was laying on the ground, empty. It took our server nearly 15 minutes to come to the table to take our orders and when she did she didn’t take the drink order of my child before walking away. The fruit garnishes in our drinks were old as if they were cut 2 days ago. We ordered 6 tacos, 2 steak, 2 chicken and 2 carnitas. They were dry, overcooked and devoid of any flavor. The margaritas were nothing but sugar. The floors were dirty, the tables were sticky and there was salsa stains splattered on the walls. The brooms in the corners look like more like decoration than they’ve been used. The servers act like we should be grateful they showed up for work and others looked miserable to be there. While it looks great from the outside, it’s dirty inside and not worth the visit.
