Customer Reviews

"1st time visiting this restaurant and was impressed. The waiter was fun and dinner was great! Drinks were good"

- Erica B.

"The food is good and the atmosphere is nice. We came on a Friday night and they had a mariachi band roving the restaurant. We found the margaritas to be OK but slightly on the sweet side. Some in our group tried the flight of four and found the same thing. My Cadillac margarita tasted OK but had very little punch. If you're using one of their popular coupons, be advised it applies to food only, not drinks, which was disappointing."

- Phil W.

"Located very close to the interstate- this cantina offers quick service and good food. We had no wait to get a seat, but the place was fairly busy. The food came out relatively quickly and was hot and fresh. Everything tasted great and the portions were fairly sizable. Definitely recommend if you are near that area, good for families and friends. There is nice bar area if you want to sit and watch a game or two."
