La Cantina always hits. This is the best Mexican place in Brookings. The shrimp tacos are a staple for me, I would recommend! The fish tacos are also good as well. The service was awesome, they got our orders in right away and the food comes out super fast. The environment is super cute, I love the orange walls and pictures hanging through the restaurant. I wish the music was a little quieter, we were seated under a speak and it was quite loud. Other than that, I have no complaints!

If I could give zero stars, I would. The service has been incredibly disappointing. DO NOT order a gift card online—I received an email with a broken link, and I was left out the money with no help from staff after numerous phone calls. I’m honestly disgusted by how poorly this was handled. No regard for customers or basic accountability.

I ordered enchiladas because they're the one item that should be safe at any Mexican restaurant. That continues to be a prudent rule as the meal was good, not awful or amazing. It just came with rice so I had to ask for a side of beans. It always bums me out when an entre doesn't have both, but that's not a war crime or anything.
The chips and salsa were brought out quickly. The chips were good, and I liked the salsa. The raspberry marg took long enough that it started to feel like they'd forgotten about it, and I kinda wish they had. I might be picky, but I didn't love it. It looked awesome, though, so bonus points for presentation.
The server struck me as a bit unresponsive as I had to ask for something twice and he wasn't in the county when I wanted to pay, but I'm sure he's a great dad or ballroom dancer or whatever else he does away from work.
The cost for the meal was less than I expected. Not a terrible experience, but a bit unremarkable. That said, I'd return if I were in the area at mealtime and wanted Mexican food. I'd probably get the same thing less the marg.
