Some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. 3$ a taco on Tuesday’s might have helped. They were exceptional, even on a sale day. Great service and a wonderful setting inside. Who doesn’t like eating tacos while looking at a mural of Dale Earnhardt! One app, 4 tacos and two sodas under 25$

Stephanie was a great waitress. She was very thorough, brought our food exactly as we requested in a speedy manner and was very sweet. Food tasted great and we will definitely be back!

Today we had an awesome experience at Cantina Louis. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and inviting—the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. Frank made it his mission to ensure we had a great time, checking in and creating a welcoming experience from start to finish. Our waitress, Addy, was fantastic as well—attentive, friendly, and always keeping my water full. The queso was a total hit. We can’t wait to come back!
