Desperados Cantina Reviews
Taco was ok. Staff were not friendly. 5 bar tenders standing bar talking and table in dining area were very dirty. I suggest going to restaurant side and not bar side it is better operated. Or skip this one you are not missing anything!

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, hot pepper chicken taco, and pork belly taco, as well as outdoor seating next to a creek with a beautiful fireplace. While the vegetarian options may be limited, the restaurant is praised for its delicious food, fabulous drinks, 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 quick service and highlighted the unique and amazing flavors of the food. The steak tacos and black beans were noted as excellent, and many recommend the chips and salsa for those who enjoy spicy food. Although 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, making it a perfect spot for a date night or a leisurely lunch.
