We went on a Saturday night on the early side for a family birthday. The waitstaff was great, and the food was good. When it came time to sing happy birthday, the staff was fun. All in all, good food, relaxed place and decent prices. We will go back.
Great Mexican food, everything was so tasty, very delicious and served with attention and pretty quick with the meal being hot and dessert just perfect ? ? ?? 10/10
I absolutely love this place. They have actual authentic Mexican food.The service here was so fast I didn't even get to finished my appetizer when my main dish arrived on my table. The margaritas are sooo good, and my partner loved the michelada. Usually I never drink beer but they made it soo good I ended up liking it as well. Will definitely come here again.
The food was great. The tacos were wonderfully. We ate in the basement room. It was very colorful! Thomas was our server and he was very attentive.
Great casual Mexican restaurant!
There are many “Mexican” restaurants in the NY area, many of which are actually Tex Mex. Cantina Mexicana is authentic Mexican, family-owned with excellent, authentic regional Mexican dishes, like an Enchilada mole (they list chicken, but you can pick your preference, and if you know what’s good for you get the Carne Enchilada). The mole is slightly sweet and has a little heat. You will NOT want to ruin it with any hot sauce. Save the salsa verde for the tacos el pastor, with pork marinated in pineapple then sautéed. The tacos are excellent, with soft, hot flour tortillas, garnish and lime. I almost forgot the beginning of the meal. Fresh salsa with a slight tang (yes, the way it should be) and a plate of queso fundido with chorizo and mushrooms (it works). Wash these down with their margaritas. They are generous and potent. El Presidente is popular, but we like the Chamengo and Jalarita (Jalepeno flavored, but not too much. We did not get the posole, but people rave about it. By the taste of everything else, we expect it’s very good. We have been coming here and ordering out during the pandemic. We have always been impressed with their tacos but this was the first time eating in. We loved the atmosphere and the staff was incredibly attentive. And it was a steal.
We had to kill some time between appointments and we were hungry. Our go to is Mexican, you’re concerned when it’s the first time you try a restaurant as you know the taste and flavors you already enjoy. We gave it a shot and we are so glad we did! The chicken flautas were absolutely delicious! One of the best I’ve ever had. The guacamole, YUM! Even the chips were some of the best we’ve had, not greasy slabs. The Pico de gallo, wish I got more. The chimichanga was delicious. We’re going back! The restaurant itself was so beautifully decorated, it made you smile.
First time here! Awesome food and amazing margaritas!!!
My daughter gets their tostada's and they are delicious tonight was my first dinner from there I got the chicken chimichanga it was delicious lots of chicken and veggies I got fries instead of a salad next time I need to ask for crispy fries .... definitely will try the nachos next
