Fun vibe, good food, I’m a fan! Drinks could be slightly stronger and slightly pricier than you’d expect are the only negatives for me but I’ll be back anytime I’m in Corolla!

This was some of the best food we have had. Full stop. This place is amazing! If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. If you aren't in Corrolla, do your self a favor and make the trip!

Atmosphere was unnecessarily rude. It's not cute to talk about needing to leash your kids or needing to lower your standards if the food and service are abysmal. The waitress didn't write down our order and got my meal wrong. My wife's food came out 10 minutes after mine because, per the waitress, her food was frozen and took a while to heat up. It was crazy hot inside, there's no bathroom, the $16 chips were stale and the dips were underwhelming. Everything was crazy overpriced and if I wanted reheated frozen dinners, I could have just gone to Food Lion. We won't be coming back.

Just an overall disappointing experience. The food was all overpriced, and that’s one thing if it phenomenal, but this was not. The chips were stale and the dips all tasted like they were from a jar. I watched the waitress touch my food when it was put up on the counter to be brought to me and then she told me “sorry they were frozen so they take a while.” I don’t really care if my food is frozen but I would rather not know about it. The waitress also got my husband’s order wrong. He ordered a mahi burrito but got chicken instead. Nothing was truly terrible but it was just very underwhelming and disappointing

I’m actually quite shocked that googles overall review was only a 4.2
Corolla Cantina is an absolute gem! We stopped in for lunch and were completely blown away. The quesadillas were perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful, melty goodness inside — easily some of the best we've ever had. The coconut shrimp was a standout too: perfectly fried, juicy, and served with a delicious dipping sauce that took it over the top.
But what really made the experience unforgettable was the incredible service. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they care about every guest having a great time. We'll definitely be coming back — highly recommend!

This place is great! Food is great and service was awesome! Very friendly staff and great drinks! My only “complaint” is I’d love more cheese in the quesadilla!! But it was still delicious!! Will definitely be back!

Delicious food and a nice selection of beers on tap. Services was friendly. It's a small place so be aware of that before you go. Food is a little expensive, but it's Duck Dollars so it's pretty much in line with everything else on the island.
Enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and dined outdoors on the patio because we had two very small kids. Highly recommend the sweet heat shrimp bowl, which is coconut shrimp with a delicious sauce. Also suggest the jerk chicken sandwich with pineapple. My son said it was the best he’s ever had and he never says that. Not your normal Mexican restaurant so don’t plan on standard tacos and burritos. Our experience was great!

First, the manager/floor supervisor chastised two members of our party for attempting to join two picnic tables in the outdoor dining area. His rationale was that the space was required for servicing. However, our waitress never used this open space to service our two tables. Additionally, his attitude was disrespectful and dismissive. Next, our waitress brought a wrong menu item. When told it was the wrong item, she adjusted the order and brought the correct item. When presented the bill, it indicated that we were charged for the wrong item. When confronted about this wrongful charge, the waitress actually became argumentative with us, saying we’d needed to pay for the wrong item. We did not raise our voice or argue with her. Instead, we were assertive in saying that we would not pay for the wrong item and would take it up with the manager/supervisor—whereupon the waitress stated she’d attempt to adjust our bill. Subsequently, the bill was corrected. So, suffice to say that the personnel working this particular evening need some attitude adjustments. As for the food, so-so at best and the prices are exorbitant, not including the obligatory 20% gratuity and an additional strange fee added to total. They even had the chutzpah to inject “additional gratuity” on our bill. Good God! Our recommendation—find another Mexican restaurant!

This quickly became a favorite of mine and my husbands during our weeklong stay in town. The people were kind, generous and friendly- recognizing us on our second visit and becoming fast friends.
The food is incredible and the cocktails/mocktails are delish.
