This place is a lot of fun. Looks beautiful inside the food was okay. It wasn't bad, but I expected more.I did like I did like the purpose it was very tender. I would return and I love the mariachis. They made the night highly recommend

Had a lovely Sunday afternoon enjoying brunch with family. The food was good, and the views were beautiful, making for a great atmosphere. While the prices felt a bit high for Mexican cuisine, the overall experience was enjoyable. A nice spot for a relaxed weekend outing.

Cantina is always a go to weekend spot!! Great vibe, super lively and beautiful view of the water. The bar area is fun as well if you don't get a table. Service has always been great, drinks are awesome and the food is good. Elizabeth is an excellent server that was super friendly and attentive to our needs. She came by frequently to check in on us which I love. I would always recommend the margaritas- they come in a fun glass and there are a ton of flavors. For food our most recent visit, we ordered sopa de fideo (first time trying and I absolutely love), carnitas, short rib flautas and the queso fundido with chorizo. The flautas are my absolute fav! Definitely check this place out for a weekend dinner.

Great food! Amazing location...mariach band playing...great music..went on a Wednesday night .place was bumpin!

I attended a dinner here with a group of coworkers. We ordered several different menu items and the drinks were flowing. I definitely recommend this restaurant for a romantic setting. The seating is kind of an indoor/outdoor vibe and is right along the river with great lighting. The service was amazing! Everybody was so on top of it and super nice. And the food was all really tasty. they had the mariachis playing and at the end of our dinner, a magician came and did a few magic tricks for our group. The place is on the pricier end but definitely worth a cute date night visit.
