    This place is small but the food is very tasty, I had a chicken taco, a chicken enchilada, a chicken tamale, all these very good favor's, my husband had a chorizo taco salad and a pork tamale He said the salad was good, but he prefer to have romaine lettuce not kale and the tamale was good. I had a Michelada for first time and it was very good! Over all this small place has really good food, drinks, and service! I recommend it!

    The vegan menu at La Cantina is absolutely amazing!!! They don't skimp on the portions - I always get at least 2 meals out of my order! The margarita pitcher is also a great deal. If you come with a group of 3-5, the pitcher is a great option. The staff is very friendly and the music is great. Just take note that if you have a group of 5 or more, you will automatically be charged a 20% service fee. It's completely understandable, but be sure to note it as it was not highlighted when we paid and there was still an option to tip an extra 20% on top of it. Luckily I saw we were already charged so didn't double-tip, but good to be aware of!
