Went to Cantina Tacos and have to give props to the manager—he was hustling the whole time, cleaning, bussing tables, and keeping things moving. You could tell he cared about the place. Unfortunately, the food was a letdown. It wasn’t Mexican food, it was more like something you’d get at Chipotle or Qdoba—totally Americanized and just not good. Disappointing if you’re going in expecting real, flavorful Mexican dishes. Great effort from the staff, but the food needs a major rethink.

The food was good and the service was fast. This was the first meal we got in town that felt it was worth close to what we paid for it. Chips and salsa came in nice sized portions. Cocktails were expensive but not out of line with the rest of the places in town.

I absolutely love this town. Visit every year. This was my first visit to The Cantina. I always travel with my dog, and this cute restaurant has beautiful outdoor seating that allows our furry friends. The food is absolutely delicious. The server, Frank The Great, was so top-notch. Hands down a great time. A+ for me at The Cantina!

Food was not nearly as good as Mexican in the metro Detroit area. Stopped in for dinner. Group of 4. My son requested corn tortillas and they gave him flour tortillas instead. Another member ordered tacos without lettuce and onions and he got lettuce and onions on one of his 3 tacos. Fish tacos were not good and guacamole was dry. My burrito was good, but my order of nachos had an uneven ratio of toppings to chips. They should have doubled the toppings to match the chips. No taco sauce choices but they did have 3 hot sauces. Staff was very nice and the restaurant did look clean. Would not go there again.

2024 review: Disappointing. We really enjoyed our last visit 5 years ago and we’re looking forward to a repeat experience. The restaurant is the same, but the menus is very limited and prices are much more, especially the margaritas which cost $12 for what appears to be an 8-10 oz drink. Say good by to the pitchers offered yesteryear. Food did not stand out in a crowded Mexican restaurant field. We were charged $2 for a cap of lime cream offered as a substitute for sour cream….Salt in an open wound. Service was good and appologetic. Original 2019 review: originally a 5-star rating. Fun place with good Mexican food and pitchers of margaritas. Great burritos, tacos (many to choose from) and freshly cooked chips and several varieties of salsa/dip. Service and atmosphere are tropical especially if you pick a day with live music.
