The food was odd. The fajitas had squash and mushrooms and tomato slices. They were good, but you ate the meat and peppers alone on the tortilla. The fried tomatoes were good. The squash was not. But it looked like they used filler to make the plate look bigger. The steak quesadilla was also quite strange. It tasted a lot like paprika -- again unexpected. It was decent, but not great. Drinks were fine. Beer could have been a little colder. Service was good until the end. They don't bring you a bill, just a machine with a total and a tip set in at 22%. I tip well, but I didn't appreciate this aggressive behavior. It made me most uncomfortable. And honestly how difficult is it to print out a slip of paper so diners can examine the bill before paying.

Outstanding service, and even better food! What a great spot for dinner and drinks!

Excellent quesadilla with chorizo for my husband. Huge taco salad with tiny shrimp added ($8 extra) tasted good but was way too much for me to eat and would not have survived to eat as leftovers the next day. Wish I'd known ahead of time. We sat on the patio, which made it difficult for our server to be attentive, yet inside was way too noisy for us. My husband enjoyed the salsa with chips, but it was too spicy for me.

The place was loud and crampt. The waitress was friendly but got my order wrong twice. I lost my appetite and had nothing. My friends said their food was ok but not well seasoned.

Love this place! Since it's becoming more popular, the wait times can be extremely long and there is a 90 minute limit on tables, but the quality of food and margaritas has never changed and worth the wait!

Food was amazing and very underrated

I sent the food back twice because it looked unappetizing. I ended up not eating anything. The waitress was nice but not helpful in getting my order right. The space was crampt and the busboy kept banging into me due to lack of room.

Very chill vibe with beautiful food & beautiful people…true authentic Mexican food reminds me of being in Cabo!! Love the food and drinks thanks guys…it’s amazing place after working all day with g.d. decorating & sons & tom from junk-lovers. Thanks La Cantina for making our whole crew feel welcomed
Great, casual restaurant with authentic food. Portions are generous and service was great! Short walk from Marriott Marquis/McCormick Place. Highly recommend!

Had a terrible experience! This place used to be the go-to spot after work, but not anymore. I’m not one to leave reviews, but I was honestly astonished by how bad the experience was, especially with a 20% service charge automatically added to every bill.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with attitude. We didn’t have a reservation and were completely fine if they couldn’t accommodate us, but we were told we could be seated. Moments later, the host kept asking our party to scoot our chairs in REPEATEDLY and only directed this at our table, not any others around us.
We were there to celebrate a promotion, but instead, we were met with rudeness and argumentative staff. All in all, save your money and go to Flo & Santos, the food is better, and the staff are much friendlier!

My food was disgusting my chicken quesadillas tasted like sausage quesadillas, this was my first time coming back here in a while, the place was empty and I can see why, me and my husband hated our food, the man that served us was clearly upset about something, (he was Mexican with a black hat) he was mad I asked for my receipt, I’ll never go there again, I use to go here all the time because I lived across the street but never again, I’m starting to question was I even eating real meat
