This place is def a vibe, I love the design and the bar area.I remember just walking downtown and I stumbled upon it. It's literally in a allergy but I promise it's not sketchy ?It's shaded and the drinks, food and service is pretty good and you get to vibe to amazing music that's not overbearing during your time..You can go to eat or just get a spot at the bar .Warning: it is a hot spot.... Soo it does get busy fairly quickly.. but, that's how you know it's good ???. I recommend looking on Google to see if it's busy or not upon arrival.Also it is downtown and surrounding other bars and eateries so think about parking ?️.

This is a good place to get your Mexican food fix. With such offerings as street tacos, pozole, tostadas, quesadillas and tortas, this is more on the fun, casual side in terms of dining experiences.For drinks, you can choose from Mexican sodas, Mexican beers, micheladas and margaritas.It's fairly noisy between the music played and the crowds that are attracted during the busier hours, so if you're thinking cozy and intimate this is not your jam.I like the open air seating. Much of it is covered. This is not a building but more of a partially covered space.The service is friendly and helpful. If you want affordable, (for downtown) tasty eats in an informal open air setting, this is for you.

The ambiance is exactly what you're looking for! The food was fantastic! The drinks were on point and delicious. The servers were accommodating and excellent for such a large party of 13. Heads up they do not take reservations, however we did call a couple times and they were prepared for the larger party attending. We did have to wait while the restaurant cleared because they were at capacity. All in all highly recommend checking this place out and can't wait to come back to try some more of their delicious margaritas.

The vibe at the restaurant is nice for drinks and tacos. The tacos are actually really good!3/5 because the music is really loud, they don’t have chips & salsa which was odd since they have tostada shells & salsa, so why not offer chips & salsa?Also no chicken tacos even tho they have chicken available for tortas etc?Our server seemed very dull in her responses to questions and didn’t offer any other suggestions when we asked for chips & salsa besides “we don’t have that”.

We always have an amazing time when visiting Cantina Alley, food is exceptional

Cool vibe, great food. It is like stepping into Mexico. I tried tacos, carne asada and al pastor. The steak was tender and taste perfect. The al pastor was spicey with fresh pineapple.I really like the menu options. Like at a true Mexican backyard party. Will be back.

Food was okay. It was expensive and not really worth the price. It had a fun atmosphere, but there's a 2 hour limit on tables, so you can't really eat and drink and hang out.

Great vibe! A hidden gem really tucked away in a back alley but super fun experience. The tacos were great!! Our waitress was a joy but a little hard to find at times. Would definitely go back when the weather is nice and you can vibe outdoors

Delicious food. Love that they give chicharrón instead of chips and salsa. Nice touch. The place and vibe was awesome. Authentic Mexican feel and music playing in the background. Cute little find.

So happy to finally experience a vegan elote!!! The asada and fish tacos are also a must!
