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.

Cantina 18 was recommended by a friend. So glad to have the opportunity to try them out. Great experience, great staff, wonderful service. Clean space. Stop by for a nice relaxing meal. The Nachos and Queso Rolls are highly recommended!
Ordered enchiladas but with a beef substitute instead of chicken. Received ground beef enchiladas but was expecting steak or shredded beef. Left very unsatisfied and could not eat it.

Food was delicious and staff was Awesome and kept checking in. Recommend the goat cheese Guacamole and catfish tacos. Both delicious!!

Great food and drinks; excellent service!
I had some time to kill before meeting up with friends the other day, so I came here as they were opening. Charlie fixed me up a couple drinks while I waited—a pair of killer palomas—and was so hospitable that I convinced our group to come back to eat later on, and Charlie took care of us again. This time I had the veggie burrito with their house-made habanero sauce, which was flavorful and fire, and my friends got different quesadillas which they really liked.
Two visits and two good times in two hours!

My friend and I stopped by on a Saturday night for a little nacho moment before our evening plans. Despite the busyness of the restaurant, we were promptly acknowledged and put on a short wait to be seated outside. I loveddd the vibe, the patio atmosphere, the music, and our server (alex) was friendly and attentive. Super grateful for an accommodating, dog-friendly and yummy spot in raleigh!
(odie found his evening pawticularly great as well)

I am a vegetarian and I love this place. They have a number of options including fried avocado tacos and a grilled vegetable burrito. The staff is so friendly and it's one of the few non chains in the area!
Vegetarian options: If you like cheese, then there are a number of options for you here! If not, you can build your own salad or order the vegetarian burrito.
