Great spot overall. Some dishes such as mushrooms and manchego are exquisite (though it’s upsetting they try to remove this dish every time they re-invent themselves, bringing it back if enough people complain). Since the change to a cantina I haven’t enjoyed the food as much though, and they are changing yet again. Id prefer a menu that’s consistent and well executed with explorations into new cuisines rather than we need to reopen as a *insert cuisine here*...read full review

PICNIC Cantina in Orillia is a small but lively restaurant that offers an authentic Mexican cantina experience. The rebranding to a Mexican theme has been well received, bringing much-needed variety to the area. The restaurant features a build-your-own tacos option, where customers can enjoy six tortillas filled with delicious ingredients, and the tacos are often praised as some of the best around. Other menu items, including the slow-cooked beef brisket tacos, tuna tostada, and chicken tacos, consistently impress diners with their flavor and quality.
The atmosphere transports guests to Mexico, especially with music and a warm, relaxed vibe that makes it feel like a mini vacation. The service is friendly and attentive, with staff members making diners feel welcomed and valued. The restaurant's small size means it can often be busy and packed, but many recommend visiting during less crowded times or going early.
The drink menu, including a new cocktail selection and tasty sangria, complements the flavorful food perfectly. Highlights like oysters, street corn, and guacamole add to the overall positive experience. PICNIC Cantina is frequently praised as a hidden gem in Orillia, offering authentic food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere that keeps guests coming back.
