Just had the most amazing lunch today at the Cantina. The service was excellent and I can’t describe how amazing the Cauli Bang Bang was - so darn good.
Treat yourself for a yummy lunch or dinner!

Holy Hell! The atmosphere staff and drinks are legendary for this sleepy little Maine town! Do yourself a favor and get the jerk chicken taco. Absolutely inspired!

Beer was unremarkable and food was lame. The best parts of this brewery were the stylish decor, fun logo and friendly server. Sitting outside at picnic tables after such thoughtful interior design was disappointing. Food looks good on the menu though not when served. Soggy tots with a mishmash of unmatched toppings was yucky.

Every single part of our meal was phenomenal.

Easily the best meal we’ve had in a long time. We had the elote dip, various tacos, and the ice cream sundae. Each aspect was phenomenal and the meal just got better as it went on.

Unfortunately Rachelle enjoys spreading hate, lies and propaganda on NH social media pages. It’s not a good business model. Do better-Be better

Excellent and friendly service. Drinks and food were awesome. Highly recommend.

Very delicious! It got quite busy soon after I arrived, but the food was quite good and the service was excellent. Leah, the bartender, makes an exceptional spicy margarita...great depth with a nice kick at the end! Slightly slow service, but I think it was due to their having quite a bit more customers than they had expected for a weeknight. A wonderful spot!

drinks are $15 a piece and don't have much alcohol in them. we ordered 6 tacos and got them 5 minutes later. so we knew nothing was made fresh. they didn't taste fresh either. whatever you do do not get the cauliflower taco. it's one of the worst thing I've tasted in a while. it amazes me how something can taste so horrid, yet you decide to put it on a menu. not to mention our tacos were barely warm. silver street tavern has better fish tacos and they are right down the street.

Very surprised to see only 4.2 stars at the time of my review. My two girlfriends and I met up here and had a great experience. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food was so good. Highly recommend the chips and queso as a starter. The fish tacos were my favorite. Literally laughed when I saw the bathroom lights, so nice work to whomever decorated in there. We will definitely be back!

Amazing food and atmosphere. Must try the Catina Tots with Carnitas and Queso!!!!

Good flavors and interesting drinks were overshadowed by the consistently cold tacos delivered to all six in our party. Everyone wanted to hang and have another drink after dinner, but the noise level was too high to hear each other so we went to a quieter venue for another drink.

I think the quality of the flavors were no better than Chipotle, and I like Chipotle so that is not a knock. But it is hard to justify the prices charged for the portion sizes and lack of execution of bringing warm food to the tables.

Update, June 2025: Went a second time because of a tip from a friend. Still the same issues- halting service during lunch and cold tacos. Still a Mexican-can’t restaurant.

Really authentic traditional flavors that rival hole in the wall tacos from Pismo Beach. Love the new unique options on the expanded menu and the new outdoor seating on lovely Main Street. Cushnoc beers on tap makes this place an excellent choice. Love that Rust Bucket Red.
