We had an awesome time. Grilled ribeye with carnitas, shrimp, and chicken with Margheritas. Louis was an excellent server. Very friendly.

The service and the food were very good, and to finish with a delicious dessert, Churros that were crispy and freshly made, as original as they should be. I recommend this place 100%. Thank you.

Side Street Cantina delivers a truly authentic Mexican vibe from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere feels lively and local, and the service is fantastic—attentive and quick. The menu is vast, and it’s the kind of place where you find yourself eyeing dishes at other tables thinking, “I could have that, or that.” They’re generous with the chips and salsa, which is always a nice touch. My entree was okay—probably more on the generic side—but that might have been my choice. Overall, it’s the experience that stands out. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel at home, and I’d definitely go back.

Food was the best Mexican food we've ever had. Service was awesome. It's got a local vibe rather than a tourist one. It's Oct on a Friday night and the place is near full. What's that tell you?

3pm on a Saturday afternoon, not extremely busy, which is what I was hoping for. Jalapeño poppers, barbecued bacon wrapped shrimp, fresh guacamole made tableside...only made better by a great margarita and an Endless summer. Great food, great atmosphere, and amazing service. Note that I don't give 5 stars indiscriminately. Gotta earn 'em!

great place to wind down after the beach, sip some margaritas & daiquiris, and we highly highly recommend the bacon wrapped bbq shrimp appetizer over everything else!
