The cantina is the best place around for authentic Mexican food. Their chicken tacos are out of this world. I would recommend this place to anybody. They are great.

I've been coming here for a few years now, and am Always excited to return.
Almost every birthday, or special event we stop in for a meal.
The food is amazing, Hot, tasty and feels like it was made FOR you, not just sold TO you. The tortas are one of my favorites, I'm also partial to the linga tacos, but I've not found a menu option here I don't like!
Eating here feels like a meal at a family members house, Kids playing in the background, the smell of dinner cooking, and a relaxed, friendly hospitality that other restaurants sorely lack!
I'm always happy to introduce others to this place,and I'm already dreaming of what I'll eat on my next trip.

Great authentic food, with great service from a very friendly family. I highly recommend trying this place out.
Excellent food. Well seasoned, there is a difference than most places around. Highly recommend.

The first mom and pop Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten in. Authentic dishes that you would expect if you were invited into a friend's hacienda.

The best Mexican restaurant in Portsmouth! Super friendly service, and excellent food 🤤 try the Birria & esquite!

We had the pleasure of dining here tonight, and I am so glad we chose this restaurant for a family outing — even though we had a bit of a toddler meltdown!
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and made us feel comfortable right away. Our server was attentive and kind, even as our toddler began to get fussy. I couldn’t believe how patient and understanding the staff was with our little one, especially as things escalated and the cries became a bit louder.
The food was nothing short of spectacular.
Despite the chaos on our end, the food, service, and attention to detail made it a memorable experience.

Found my new favorite Mexican restaurant in town. I only wish I'd found it years ago!
The Chile Colorado (with Beef) and the chicken street taco are a delicious and filling combo. Looking forward to trying more of the menu! Will definitely be recommending to and bringing others!
