Excellent food. Server never checked in with us, the order was wrong, and they brought more drinks after we were already done. Might go back, hoping for better service.

Food was good, I miss the duck tacos. But the eggs Benedict was delicious. Value on the mimosas is seriously lacking. $8 and you get 1/4 of a standard wine glass. Service was excellent though

Went to get pick up here. Manager is a 10/10 of hospitality and hard work. Bussing tables, being attentive, and overall an extremely friendly positive vibe. Go here just for this gentleman.

Cantina18 is a unique place to enjoy a tasty Skinny Margarita , Queso/Salsa & Chips prior to a delicious meal! The Fajitas & Enchiladas are incredible as well as many other options! More importantly the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Full disclosure, we are weekly customers who travel 30 min to patronize our favorite Mexican restaurant and have done so for over 15 yrs. No other place in the raleigh area compares..

Lucky to have been there on a lovely day where the glass doors could be opened wide and be in the fresh air! (There are many heat lamps if it wasn’t so warm) Soy gives me migraines and finding a restaurant in NC who doesn’t use soy is few and far between. Mattie and Ashley were amazing helping me out with this conundrum. I’m so glad we stayed to enjoy there friendly and helpful dispositions, instead of trying to find another place. I think Mattie went up to check ingredients at least 5 times, just to be sure. In the end, I told them to surprise me and it was very tasty indeed! Fresh and delicious- thanks Mattie & Ashley for your positive attitude and sincerity when helping me! I’ve experienced other places being put out by it.

Great service but the food is so bland. Not a single seasoning to be found anywhere in this establishment, unfortunately.

The customer service here is great. The issue here is the food tastes bland. The salsa and rice are under seasoned. I ordered the chicken ACP and the rice tasted like it was microwaved. While our server was super sweet, I probably wouldn’t eat here again.

My cousin and I just popped into Cantina 18 for a quick snack and the service and food was so good. My cousin and I agreed on how cute the restaurant was. Can’t wait to come back for a full meal! The churros are the best I’ve ever had btw!

Outstanding service, food is very tasty, nice decor and music. They have private seating area for groups, and they have plenty of eating options and drinks. Prices are affordable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get some Mexican food and have fun. They are not an exclusive Mexican food place, they have seafood and other menu options. Decor is not Mexican, it's modern, open and clean!
A lot of their ingredients are locally sourced. Everything was delish - quesadillas, tacos, nachos and shrimp and grits. Southern with a SW tilt. The owner even stopped by and chatted. . .

Was here for a group lunch with coworkers. I ordered the vegetable burrito. Nothing to write home about. But our seating and view was nice for our socializing. I would not go on my own due to parking in the Villages and the demeanor of some of the people that patronize stores & restaurants in that area.
