After ordering delicious Togo food here all winter, we started dining outside during the summer and WOW! The atmosphere of dining outside makes me feel like I am half a world away from Pennsylvania on vacation…the music, the smells of food, the decor and the safe enclosed dining area is just like a quaint, fun vacation. My husband and I ate goat barbacoa here for the first time tonight and it was phenomenal! The ceviche is incredible. The margaritas are horchata are 👌🏼. The Kensington area may be intimidating for some, but as long as you are dining inside of the Cantina, you are on a safe vacation 😎 the owners are lovely people too! Do yourself a favor and eat some good food here!

Loved the food here for brunch. Highly recommend the house guacamole. They also do a taco box which I also highly recommend, great variety and so tasty but I think that’s only for takeout. We also got this French toast thing, I forgot what it was called, but it was enormous and delicious, very crunchy with a layer of sugar on top - definitely want to share!
Biggest qualm is the location, it was pretty sketchy and I don’t think I would come here for dinner. Maybe we were being dramatic but my husband felt like he need to pop outside every couple minutes to make sure our car wasn’t being broken into.

The service was awful. Idc how good the food is if the service is bad. They ignored us when we first came in and we had to ask to be seated. Then our server came up and asked if we were ready to order before we were even handed a menu. They forgot the wings that we ordered and overall they just were not attentive to our table at all. On top of that, there's no AC or fan in the restaurant so it was hot as hell.

I recently visited this establishment with a party of two at 3pm, and while I enjoyed the ambiance and hospitality. it was noted that the restaurant was relatively empty. As we intended to order a variety of dishes to share, sample, and possibly take home, I kindly requested to be relocated to a larger table to accommodate our dining preferences. However, the hostess informed us that due to our party size, we were only able to be seated at a smaller table.
I understand the operational constraints regarding seating arrangements for smaller parties. However, considering the nature of our dining experience and the desire to explore a range of menu items, a more spacious table would have greatly enhanced our overall visit. For that sole reason we decided to visit another restaurant to explore

I have no clue what I ate but it was the most fantastic authentic Mexican my soul has ever desired. More than the meal was the wonderful tour from the owner of the authentic fire pits complete with a personal garden tour and pets from the resident rabbit in the garden. I've never had a more personal dining experience, absolutely will return again.

Did the Cocina de Humo experience recently (outdoor open fire grilling). One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Couldn't recommend it more. The beautiful backyard, incredible food, and wonderful people.

A true Gem in the Rough. The food is awesome and they clearly take pride in what they service.
Came here for happy hour on a weekday. Food was excellent and came out quickly. However the female bartender was so extremely slow and completely neglected us. In fact, everyone at the bar had empty waters and empty drinks and empty plates. I would have happily ordered more drinks and food but she was busy getting her own ice and the food runner was zero help. I would only consider going back when I have 2+ hours to waste time.

Came to this restaurant for the very first time with my family. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a very great vibe. Honestly can say all the staff were super friendly, attentive, and very helpful. Both the food and drinks were amazing in presentation and taste!! Definitely a 100/10 experience and will for sure come back again!

First time visiting, so figured I'd take advantage of the happy hour to see what the place was like, and it didn't disappoint in any manner. Atmosphere and energy was welcoming. Service was fantastic and the food was great. Oh yea, I'm not typically a margarita person, but as they say, when in Rome so I went for spice along with my flavored margarita, and it was the perfect combo and heat and sweet. Tried just about everything on the happy hour menu and got one shot, and the bill for 2 was beyond reasonable. I'd highly recommend anyone who is in search of an authentic Mexican experience to visit Cantina.
