Reviews for Driftwood Cantina in Raleigh, NC
What a fun looking place with delicious food! The fried cheese appetizer was perfect and the entrees were authentic Mexican... flavor. Enjoyed a nice aged tequila as well. We will be back! Read more
I was excited to go here for my Birthday, because the food always smelled good, the wine was always amazing on the wine walk,... they were friendly and knowledgeable about wine, and you could buy bottles to go. They're a great wine walk stop and are dogfriendly. When I dined in for my Birthday, the cocktails were just as great as the wine. I have mixed feelings about the food.It was nice. However, I'm not sure how authentic the food was, but I could be wrong. It might have just been a bit differentthan your average Mexican restaurant. Read more
Not your typical Mexican Restaurant. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Portions aren’t huge, but they are filling. There... are many different salsas you can choose from for your bottomless chips (for an up charge). We had the chicken burrito, ACP, andtres leche cake. Service was fast and friendly! We will definitely be back! Read more
We had a mini reunion this afternoon at Driftwood Cantina. The appetizers and meals were served and everyone was very happy and... satisfied with their order. Fun, bright, separate room to eat and laugh as loud as we wish without worrying about beingdisruptive. I'll reserve here again. Read more
The food was well prepared and delicious. The mole for the chicken enchiladas had a sweet cinnamon note and was well balanced in... flavor. The steak was tender and properly marinated. The corn tortillas had a great spongy texture and were a greataccompaniment for fajitas. The guacamole was a little heavy on the acid/too much lime, but it balanced out the steak prettywell. The salsa with the cactus was definitely refreshing, though there didn’t seem to be as much cactus as bell pepper orjalapeño. Read more
We had lunch here when another restaurant had a long wait. Usually I am skeptical of such things, but I think it worked out... well for us! We enjoyed the menu — enough variety without an overwhelming menu. The service was friendly, efficient andattentive. The food was great! I highly recommend the tacos al pastor. The mole enchiladas were great too! Read more

Delicious food & drinks. Tortilla chips was not free unlike most Mexican restaurants but it was very fresh, crispy & Delicious,... it's worth paying money to get this quality. Margaritas & drinks had lot of options & very nicely made. Guacamole was made fresh& delicious. I & my wife loved the ambience of this restaurant. It was vibrant , open & very appealing , specially wallpainting & frames were unique & classy. While most Mexican Restaurants interior is very stereotype, here it was very spacious &rich. Restaurant had ample outdoor seating. Staff was welcoming, courteous & was able to guide us in ordering food as per ourdietary need. Read more
