| - It is a little confusing when you first walk into Cantina (I literally argued with my friend about the door. She insisted It was Danny Boys and didn't want to go in) but you'll get past it. Seriously- get past the ornate iron gate and you're in a very cool little spot that you'll want to come back to. We started with filling our own chips and salsa and, um, devouring those. We also got the guacamole which I thought was a perfect portion size and price. It was very fresh and creamy. I got a classic margarita. It was good, but actually quite strong and I couldn't finish it. That says nothing about the quality of the margarita, but everything about my wussiness.
My bestie and I each ordered 3 tacos. That may have been a little ambitious, but I would still suggest that number to get a good taste of the menu. My favorite by far was the Cantina fish. It was typically dressed with jalapeno slaw and a sour cream that added a nice rich flavor to the hot, fried flaky fish. Yum. I also enjoyed the Buffalo Chicken and the Crunchweezy, which had a lot going on.
Best part for sure was our server. She was so fun and friendly and easy-going. Jess and I both agreed we wanted her to be our new best friend. She did try to trick us into dessert- some sort of fried cookie sorcery. She told us there was a rumor and we were obviously all ears. Can't fault the girl, though. We still love her.
Thanks to Yelp I got a free taco, but even without that, my 3 tacos, margarita and guacamole came to just over $20. It was a great value and I left feeling satisfied. Okay, stuffed.
It's worth the drive for this west-sider!
