Desperados Cantina, a lively Mexican restaurant located in the Distillery District, offers a warm welcome and a convenient ordering system. Customers can enjoy a variety of tasty tacos, including the birria tacos and pork belly taco, as well as outdoor seating. While the vegetarian options may be limited, the restaurant is praised for its delicious food and fair pricing. The inside is well designed, featuring two parts: one for ordering and filling drinks, and another with a full bar and more seating. After ordering at the counter, guests receive a buzzer that alerts them when their food is ready. Staff will bring food to the table if preferred. The restaurant is situated within walking distance of craft distilleries and other businesses, making it a great addition to the local area.
Recent visitors have enjoyed fabulous drinks and quick service, with many highlighting the unique and amazing flavors of the food. The guacamole, elote, and hot pepper fried chicken were noted as favorites. Though some found the gringo taco and Mexican rice lacking in taste, the overall experience remains positive. Desperados Cantina is recommended for those looking for something delicious and quick.
