High-end Mexican cuisine at very reasonable prices. Freshness of ingredients and presentation is remarkable. Highly recommend and will be going back

Surprisingly great. We've eaten at some great Mexican restaurants in Los Angeles and New York City and this place is incredible. Who would have thought a great Mexican restaurant would turn up in Indiana? Don't miss the cocktails.

The food was AMAZING!!! The calabascitas tacos are definitely worth the try. I'm still thinking about those jalapeño poppers they're had so much flavor and the crispy. The service was great, the sever helped me pick options based on what I was able to eat. The presentation was beautiful. The place had such an urban vibe. I went during the weekday for lunch and there was no wait. If you're in the area this place is a must!!!!!!!!

La Cantinita is an authentic place with a ton of unique style, from their murals in the back patio to the decor on the inside. Service is always pretty quick and the food has been consistently great. The only downside is that the menu is a little limited, and there are no breakfast options.

We came from out of town for an annual sports event at Knox College and really craved Mexican food after a long day. We saw that this place had good ratings and went for take-out. Unfortunately, we had such a bad experience. We ordered in the restaurant and they told us it would take 15-20 min... it took them 40 min for them to bring out our food to us after inquiring several times what was taking so long. When we finally got our food, it was yet another disappointment. We ordered 3 tacos (2 chicken/1 steak), a burrito, and a side of rice and refried beans. The tacos were okay, the meats were a bit dry. The burrito was less than mediocre. The rice tasted like it was soaked up in Maruchan ramen soup. The refried beans tasted like tuna fish or what my wet cat food smells like. We can't believe we waited so long to get the food and spent $38 to get subpar food. We come every year for the event at Knox College, but we're definitely not coming back to this restaurant next year.

Most authentic Mexican food I've had in years. So good! Not like all the chain Mexican resturants around...very unique to the area. Great atmosphere, as well. Service was very good. Kids loved it. Zero complaints and will be back, for sure. Was there for lunch and didn't have a drink - but drink menu looked really good. Can't wait to go back!
I have eaten here 4 times. Each time confirming that the restaurant was truly as good as I thought it was. Every dish and signature drink on their menu has been well thought out in both presentation and taste, creating a full menu of delicious opportunities. The art and music creates a chill and interesting, warm and welcoming vibe. Leaving no stone unturned, even the bathrooms impress. When you leave this place, you'll not only be feeling great from the delicious meal and drink that you just experienced, but you might also be thinking of how to decorate your own home. If that weren't enough, the staff was friendly and professional. I am looking forward to eating in their back patio area in the summer, which also shares an inventive and artistic approach that makes you want to kick back and relax. I can't recommend this place enough. Don't miss out. It's unlike any of the other Mexican restaurants in the surrounding areas and cities. You will not be disapointed.

This seems to be Mexican fusion food with an emphasis on the bar and cocktails. The food is good, but seems to be a smidge overpriced for what it is. The service and atmosphere are great, so it's overall a nice place.
