I’m not sure why cantina has a 4.3 rating and not a 5! It’s a great Mexican place and has amazing taco bowls … honestly... the best I’ve had! It’s also located at a great location right on Broadway and they have a really nice interior and outdoorseating area… many great memories at this place! Read more
Very shocked to find good Mexican food this far north!!! Normally after leaving the boarders of Texas the quality drops every 50... miles and once you reach New York or other East Cost cities and states you are throwing dice when you enter a Mexicanrestaurant. BUT Cantina supried me! The tacos, beans and Mexican rice were great and staff was also great. Read more
For over 50 years my family has been coming to Saratoga Springs. Today was my first experience dining at Cantina for lunch upon... the recommendation of my wife. My server was lovely and was focused on me and my wife's needs. Sorry, I don't recall hername. We ordered their wings, Birria Tacos, salad, fried brussel sprouts, and fried ice-cream. The food was delivered timelyand was hot. The wings were excellently fried with a flavorful sweet sauce. The brussel sprouts were outstandingly crisp andtaste consistency was spot on, served with a slightly spicy dipping sauce. The tacos, w/au jus, were VERY VERY small with notmuch flavor (I was expecting regular size). The salad...she took home. The fried ice-cream was ok. The coating was notdesirable. It tasted like the coating was in the freezer too long. So the MEAL ONLY was an overall 4 rating; 5 without the tacosand ice-cream and.......................here's the kicker... My wife chose outside seating since there was lots of sunshine andnot too hot outside. Unfortunately, after we sat down, new people sat outside WITH THEIR DOGS!!!! One person had 3 medium sizeddogs. Another had 1 big dog. And another had 1 medium sized dog. We were ambushed. We were so busy counting the hairs flyingthrough the air landing on our table and in our food that it completely took away from our enjoyment of our meal. One of thedogs kept coming behind me as if he was going to ask for a fork! VERY BAD! I love dogs. I had plenty of them growing up. I justdo not feel that it would make sense to have something in place to prevent these things from happening...namely floating hair inmy food. It is enough to have to deal with potential human hair or any other miscellaneous particles but pet hair?? Maybe therestaurant should make it clear to its guests that if they would prefer not to be exposed to potential animals...please sitinside at a decent distance away? Maybe the pet should be fully covered? Whatever the solution, it should be al Read more
This is the Mexican food for people who've never tasted Mexican food. I ordered the Chimichangas. What I actually got was more... of a French egg roll. The beef inside the Chimichanga was soaked in a wine sauce when cooked, it had no spices that you'dexpect from a Mexican dish. In addition there was nothing inside it other than the "charred corn" which looked like plain oldboiled corn. Then it was covered in this tomato sauce that tasted like a can of crushed tomato's was opened and just dumped onthe plate. No seasoning, no sign of cheese anywhere on the dish. Somehow they managed to make it look crispy but still beentirely mush. All I could taste was wine (which I personally hate). There was zero flavor that you would expect from thisdish. The waiter did take it off our bill. My wife didn't complain about the enchiladas she ordered but she ate less than halfb/c they were also a bland mushy mess. The Open faced street corn quesadilla was also strangely soggy if you picked up a pieceit would flop down so it was best to eat with a knife and fork. Meanwhile the outer edges were nearly burnt. Highly recommendyou save your money and go elsewhere. Read more
A nice modern take on their food. Definitely a fan of the drink menu and I thought the customer service was pretty great. It... took us awhile to get a drink from the bar and the staffed comped our drinks for that reason, definitely a prudent business inmy eyes. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was consistent. Also think the pricing was rather fair for the experience. Woulddefinitely come back. Read more
Moved to NY a while ago & have been so homesick with the lack of Mexican food, received a gift card to Cantinas as a wedding... gift. This place. I can’t tell you how thankful I was with the individual that gifted it to me. The atmosphere is modern, youdo not get the authentic atmosphere at first but the food, felt like I was at the kitchen table as my parents finished dinner.So authentic. Their fish tacos & the delicious birria tacos. Had me speechless. I’ve told all my friends & family all aboutit. Will return soon. Read more
