    Very small menu. The restaurants smelt burnt walking in and we left with our clothes smelling like burnt food. Food was very fancy Mexican and over priced. I think I’ll just stick with my local Cancun or mi Cozumel

    Great, flavorful dishes and delicious cocktails. Loved the hamachi Gaia hike and lamb barbacoa, even the rice and beans are delicious. Only downside is the size of the space, unfortunately the poor ventilation left me and my guest smelling like fryer oil.

    We enjoyed a fantastic meal at Crown Cantina before attending a show at the Aronoff. The service from Cam was terrific - perfectly paced! And our food and drinks were delicious. Can't wait to come back!

    I wish we lived in Cincy! Totally gluten free kitchen! I have celiac disease and what a fun experience to order anything on the menu and share it with my husband!

    Patio was so loud we had to leave early. Food and service was good aside from waiting 10 mins for a drink

    We have eaten many times at the Cantina, but tonight's visit was a little bit off of the usual five star quality. The shrimp on the sizzling platter became overcook and burned and several other dishes. We usually get seem to like their usual flavor. Aside from the food, the restaurant was a bit chilly, but more importantly, the kitchen was very slow with a very long wait between our first and second courses. The restaurant was not particularly full so perhaps they were slammed with takeout orders, Our server was excellent; it was no fault of his. We will of course go back, since we've had such very good meals there previously, with the assumption that this was just an odd one off night.
