| - This was our second visit to Canteen, the first was during the Food Fight Foodie Week. I was hooked. I'm kinda surprised we haven't been there a bunch more times.
Thursday night, about 7:30pm. We had about a 10 minute wait at the most. The place was packed, for the second time. People were laughing and having a great time all around. Great sign of a good establishment.
My love for this restaurant started with this simple little bag of "Duritos". Once you bite into one, you're immediately hooked. I call it the jacked up Funyuns. We ordered a couple margaritas, Canteen for me and the featured frozen margarita for my wife. Canteen makes THEE best margaritas. They are tasty and strong!! The cucumber/melon frozen margarita my wife had was off the hook, it was sooooooo good. Refreshing and full of booze. Perfect.
Onto the food, I ordered three tacos and the Mexican street corn. I had the Carnitas, Pork Belly and Brisket tacos. The Mexican street corn is addicting. It's so flavorful and a perfect side to my delicious tacos. My favorite was the Pork Belly. Nice crispy ends with a tender middle. Perfect size tacos. Two corn shells, which I believe is the way to go, with LOTS of filling. So much flavor in these tacos. My wife had three tacos as well along with the loaded Mexican rice.
We didn't have dessert this time around, but during Foodie Week, we had the Chocolate tacos. They were a perfect size dessert. They have Flan and Churros for dessert. Next time!!
The service was outstanding. We had our meals within 15 to 20 minutes. Our drinks came easily within 5 to 10 minutes. The server was very knowledgeable and friendly (both times we've been there). They came around twice to ask us about our meal and if we needed anything else. Our plates were whisked away by another gentleman that was all smiles and gracious.
We will be back!! I will spread the word because I appreciate good quality food, outstanding service and great ambience. Thank you
