I am writing this as I sit here. So far we were seated as soon as we walked in. There were only 5 tables including us seated and about half the bar. We received chips and salsa about 2 minutes after being seated, which was phenomenal! ....And its been 20 minutes as I type this line... And no drinks. Our order has yet to be taken. Literally about to leave, someone stopped by. I said we were leaving and Id like to let the manager know that I would be leaving this review. He offered his apology and to pay for one of our meals tonight if we stay. We stayed, got our drink order and fresh chips and salsa. Im hoping the food is as good as the salsa? Here I am after eating. WOW!!! THIS WAS AWESOME FOOD! Manager was apologetic, I told him the food more than made up for it. I even told him dont worry about covering the meal, its that good I wanted to pay for it! Absolutely coming back here, this will be our new Mexican food spot!

The place was crowded, Friday night which was also Cinco de Mayo. However, we were able to immediately get seated at the bar. The chips were light and crisp but didnt break when dipping into the excellent salsa. The Vegetarian Plate was so yum and looked so good that a guy standing near us asked what it was. My husband had the Vegetarian Chimichanga. Both of our meals had excellently grilled veggies. Service was great and friendly. It was obvious that there were many "regulars" frequenting this place. This place is well run. The only negative was not inside the restaurant. The small L-shaped strip mall with more than four restaurants had insufficient parking and cars could be seen circling the lot. We drove out of our way to get here and will definitely do it again.

Omg this really is the best authentic mexican food around this area. The service is amazing. Very friendly and so accommodating. We just love this place and would recommend it to anyone who has a love for real amazing mexican food. The owner is by far the nicest most helpful guy youll ever meet and they all deserve your business. If you dont like it ill buy your meal lol. Jk.

I used to frequent this restaurant, but the manager there is uneducated and untrained. When we purchased food we noticed immediately that we were only given a single portion when we ordered a 2 person fajita meal. He refused to acknowledge or address the issue until his chef had to tell him he was incorrect. Downright rude management who wont fix an issue.

So Ive been to a Cantina before, and was satisfied with my meal. This time, there was a deal for $1 tacos. So I ordered 10. I had my doubts considering they were a dollar, but the tacos sunk far below them. Each one dripped gallons of grease, and the hard tacos instantly became soft tacos. So I rate one star for these one dollar tacos.

Good except for the $1 tacos. They drip grease everywhere and there is way too much cheese. Its bad, even for a dollar. Its extremely salty and not worth it. Dont bother with these tacos.

Had the veggie quesadilla..... delicious and good-sized. Others in my party liked the taco salad and lunch special. The chunky guacamole is great! Very nice and efficient staff.

Our neighborhood hangout, they always take care of us. We have lived in Tampa for 13 years, and hadnt found a Mexican restaurant that I liked, until Cantina opened up

The chili verde was good. The beans flowed all over the plate and the rice was blah. Neither added to the meal presentation.
