Fantastic, fresh, made to order food. This is my favorite Mexican food. Love the margaritas and tequila selections.

Wheelchair accessibility: All one level. Dining room has plenty of room to maneuver a chair.

I love street tacos and like to try them wherever I go. This was my first time at La Taco Cantina. The tacos were probably a B-. I ordered chorizo, Asada, and Barbacoa. Their chorizo was by far my favorite. The Asada was a little chewy and the Barbacoa was good but nothing special. The highlight was the green salsa shown in the picture. That was delicious and I highly recommend dripping on whatever you order.

Stopped by for some lunch, and was immediately greeted by friendly staff. I took a seat at the bar. Everything was nice and clean. Had three street tacos, and they were all delicious. I've been wanting to try this place for years, and I'm so glad I finally stopped in. I even still have a little heat in my mouth as I type out my review. I will absolutely be back!
