We have enjoyed the food here on numerous occasions, but I just walked in front of it a few minutes ago, and there's not a stick of furniture inside. Sign over the entrance is also gone. Looks like it is closed for good.

Great burgers

Very disappointing. Cute place with creative rustic decor, but most of my food was barely edible. Seafood enchiladas tasted like they were made with canned crab... awful. Rice was tasteless and beans had a weird sweet sauce on them. The corn salad was also bland. Hubby said the carne tacos were delicious though. Not sure I'll risk such a bad meal again when there is some cheaper, better Mexican food around.

The only good thing about this experience has been the waitress from Philly and the sweet tea. First off that is not brisket. My family and I are from Texas and there is nothing about the "brisket" that was anything more than cheap roast beef and even then, arby's has better roast beef. I ordered a burger medium, it was well and dry. The menu is overpriced for what you get. We waited outside for the door for them to open and it took almost an hour to get our food when 5 or 6 other tables that walked in after us were already finished, completely the kitchen's fault. The only thing Texas about this place is the one Texas lisence plate hanging on the bar. The music is too loud so everyone is yelling over it. The food is all greasy. The beans were undercooked and over seasoned. All they tasted like was rosemary and sage. One of the sides was a "grilled avocado" and it was under ripe and had a rotten spot in the middle. They sprayed A LOT of canola oil on it before the actually grilled something that is supposed to be kept cold. I'm sure the only reason why everyone is enjoying the food is because they're hammered or they don't know what actual good food is.

Went here for dinner Summer 2019. The food and service was great. They gave us free fried jalapeno peppers (I suspect because the wait was a bit long). Everyone said the food was really good. The atmosphere was OK. Frankly, it's a bar that also serves food, except that the food is actually really good and not the typical "bar food" most other bars serve.

The worst customer experience I've ever had! The bartender has no idea what customer service is. No regard to making the customer happy or even engaging at the bar. Don't waste your money!

Great Food with a fun atmosphere! Started off with two appetizers: the Tuna Bites and the Grilled Avocados....fantastic! The tuna was cooked perfectly and has the most amazing seasoning! The avocados were served with a deliciously fresh mango pico. For the main course I had the Cantina Burger: a perfectly seasoned and cooked burger with chorizo and fried jalapeí±os, all topped off with an amazing "cantina sauce" and a perfect bun! Amazing!! My newest favorite in Virginia Beach!

Food is good, don't sit at the bar. Bartender has no customer service. Been there twice and I will not be back. Too many other choices with better service. Wish them well but will not be back.
