What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Cantina Mexicana is praised for its authentic Mexican flavors, vibrant ambiance, and friendly service, making it a popular spot for tapas-style dining. While many highlight the delicious food, creative drinks like margaritas, and accommodating staff, some reviewers found certain dishes to be basic or bland, and noted that pre-made cocktails lacked depth.
"A true gem! Tasty food in an interesting little place. I recommend the green chicken dish and the chicken with cheese quesadilla thing…very tasty and filling. The mango drink is the best drink I’ve had in a while so I’d get that too. Waiters were very friendly and atmosphere was fun!"

"4 of us came without a booking, just after opening and we're seated no issues. But a lot of reservations came in after us, a popular place!
Quick and friendly service, delicious food. We ordered one of lot of food to see how we went and then went for more.
Pork tacos, chicken fajitas, nachos and tortilla chips with salsa. All delicious. Would recommend!"
