Cantina 1948 Reviews
My drinks were great- the Gorda margarita and my michelada! I got the Mexican Plate by Chuy which was a smorgasbord of tamales, chips and guacamole, dried beef and chicharones. The chicharones! Omg! I will be going back especially for that because it was so delicious! Crispy delicious pork nuggets haha.
We visited to celebrate our 25th anniversary and this place did not disappoint. We had the chips and guacamole as an appetizer. For dinner I had the taco plate with beef and my husband had the nachos with beef. All of the food was delicious! We also tried the Aku Aku, La Kika Margarita, and the Beauty and Beast cocktails. They were all SO good. Every staff member we encountered, especially our waiter (Anthony??) were great. Would recommend over and over again!
Great place! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Cantina 1948 is a vibrant restaurant known for its extensive alcoholic beverage options and lively ambiance. The cocktails and wine list are particularly praised for their diversity and expert crafting. While the seafood dishes have received positive feedback, the menu also offers a variety of regional Mexican cuisine that provides a true sensory experience. Standout dishes include the Mexican Plate with tamales, chips and guacamole, dried beef, and crispy delicious pork nuggets (chicharrones). The sweet tamal is a highlight, with its fluffy texture and perfectly balanced sweetness. The service is described as warm, attentive, and passionate about sharing the richness of Mexican gastronomy. The bar area is recommended for enjoying fine tequila drinks with friendly bartenders and a unique, upbeat atmosphere.
