Nice ambiance, but crowded. Food is very good. Generous portions. Tasty Margaritas. However seems to be short of staff. Although the Corteous and friendly service is remarkable.

La Cantina has a nice atmosphere and is beautifully decorated. The staff are super friendly. I’m not sure if it was just the day we went, but the restaurant was pretty dead on a Sunday around lunch time. I ordered the Milenesa Torta with a side of Cesar salad and the dragon fruit margarita. I didn’t enjoy my main course as much as I enjoyed the birria loaded fries (LOTS of cheese n’ toppings to the point where we definitely needed a fork to eat it). The Cesar salad dressing is definitely very fish forward and the salad was way more flavorful than the torta. The cocktails are delicious here and I like how they do a half flake salt, half tajín rim.

I had the worst experience. My friends and I went because we were craving Mexican food. Our server, Erica, started off very friendly. Since it was our first time there, we asked a lot of questions—which I think is completely normal for new customers. When the food came out, she asked if everything was correct. My dish was missing, so she asked what I had ordered. After about 10 minutes, my food finally arrived, and I enjoyed it. The issue came when we asked for the bill. There was a 20% gratuity added, and the check listed 6 guests even though there were only 5 of us. I work as a server, so I know that when automatic gratuity is applied, you’re supposed to let the table know—something like, “It’s included because we have a 6-guest policy.” Instead, she said nothing and changed the gratuity on her own. When we asked about it, she told us it normally starts at 6 people, but because there was a game going on, she charged it anyway. I understand customers can be difficult, but this? She clearly assumed we wouldn’t tip and added the charge on purpose. I tip well because I know the job—I’m happy to reward good service, and I’ll even go higher when it’s deserved. But this whole experience was uncomfortable, annoying, and honestly just nasty. Also $22 for this instant noodles was not it.

I think food was excellent; I just ordered four different tacos, They were all delicious. My son had the fajitas, they were good. The food was piping hot when it got to us, it came out in a very reasonable time. The waitress was very nice, as was the man that seated us. One odd thing, only one door was unlocked. I checked two doors and had to walk round to the back door to enter.

Our Servers Name Was Daniela She Was So Sweet and Full of energy and very funny!!!! and We are From Dallas Texas. But Me and My sister were on visits to UTSA for school and We told Daniela, We WILL be coming back. First time We've Eaten Here and Won't Be the Last.
