Blu Cantina can be a cool vibe, especially for a group. We sat on the patio for our Taco Tuesday group. Food is ok, house margaritas just taste like mix, blue lemon drop special just tastes like blue, etc. Our friends at the table next to us never got their drinks or food, and they were there before us. Our waitress was good, though. You have to remind them to turn the speakers on outside. DJ was good. Security is good and will ID you no matter how old you look.
It is hard to beat their happy hour, but if you make it in on a Tuesday you're really in for a treat. The wings never disappoint; lemon pepper is my go to but the peach bourbon is undeniable. The fried chicken tacos are amazing. Drinks are good also, I'd recommend the whiskey peach margarita. One critique is when they're busy it gets a lil hard tracking down your server. FYI if you want to sit at the bar, you better come early because seats are hard to come by.
The food was really good. I tend to judge a restaurant by their appetizers, as this is my favorite part of a meal. And they have one of my all-time favorites, which are cheddter stuffed jalapeno poppers. I prefer cheddar over cream cheese for poppers and is the only place I've come across in many years that has them. I got one of the salad bowls and the texture of the bowl is the best I've ever had! It was a dense yet airy and crispy bowl with a toasty buttery flavor...
