It was an awful experience and expensive for what they served, I felt like it was food from a cafeteria. I would not recommend this place at all. Waste of money they should not call themselve "Mexican restaurant" that was not mexican at all, I ordered a pulled chicken it was so dry that I had to ask them for some sour cream.I should have taking a picture of what was on my plate, service was bad and not enough waitress. I would never go back there again.
I've been here multiple times, and I'll admit, the service is not the best I've received. Somedays the owner (who is an old Mexican lady) is extremely thoughtful and talks with us, other times I've been, she's been cold, and barely talks. However, if you want to have a great meal in a small, not usually crowded place, La Cantina is perfect. The food is not too expensive and tastes great. The best guacamole I've ever had!
Fantastic authentic mexican morsels...decided to order tapas style...trying a little of everything accompanied by tasty quenching sangria. House perogies, crispy outside but still soft and moist stuffed with juicy chorizo, fresh tomatillo sauce and salsa...followed by corn tamales also moist and flavorful...next came beef empanadas with the most sensational secret saucy pickled condiment which could easily be marketed and sold...mid meal the decision was made for another round of the perogies because they were so extremely good...another glass of sangra (had a 1/2 pitcher)...tried cactus with tortillas which was my first cactus tasting and certainly will not be the last and is now my new favorite vegetable...and then a melted cheezy with crumbled chorizo dish that is beyond a cheese lovers dream which you also wrap in tortilla...and for dessert was the last round of house special chorizo perogies...skip the mexican fast food places, take the time to sit and savour at this somewhat dated but absolutely hospitable and comfortable spot in streetsville. The woman who catered to our needs and satiated our appetites was like a Nana/Nona? Grandma, whose company and service I enjoyed so much I wanted to hug her as I left. My new casual unassuming full of flavour and made with heart and passion place...i dare you to try the plates like tapas, sharing with your partner over a glass (or half pitcher) of sangria. Parking was also really easy at the side of the building, and free. If you are a foodie who does not want the packaged mexican drive thru experience, then this is the spot for you.
The worst Mexican food ever. My wife and I entered last night to the sound of the owner barking at us at from within the bar area "there are no tables outside only inside!" Not even a "hello, welcome" to greet us. A grumpy old lady who seems to be in a bad mood and here we are wondering what are we doing here. The most rude and inconsiderate experience we have ever had. It was my wife's birthday and she asked me for Mexican food so I Googled the nearest location. What a mistake as it spoiled the whole Birthday event. My wife is Mexican and I have to admit, my wife cooks better Mexican food than this establishment. Aside from the poor overall service and attitude from the owner, the food was overpriced for what you got, VERY SMALL PORTIONS. Poor taste for the Tinga (pork) and NO TORTILLA with the meal!? Any pure Mexican restaurant will always serve tortilla with any main dish. I am surprised you are in business and I predict you will close down in the near future.
Last week accompanied my wife to this establishment to celebrate her birthday. We had a great time! Our server was so nice. The guacamole was fresh and delicious. My wife had the mole and I had enchiladas which were huge portions. The server over heard us talking about how it was my wife's b-day and brought out a fried ice-cream with a candle on it which was very nice. Our guests had a wonderful time. We plan to have our staff holiday party at Cantina this December!
