It was our first visit at the Cantina this evening and oh boy let me tell you , it’s definitely not the last . We’ve had a mix from the menu of nachos , quesadillas, tacos , dirty fries , chicken pieces and absolutely everything was delicious!!! My daughter is a fussy eater but she absolutely loved the chicken pieces with smoky garlic mayo . I absolutely loved my frozen white peach margarita, yummy !! Thank you to all the lovely waitresses for looking after us. We will definitely be back!

Came across this place by chance and have not stopped raving about it since! Went back for a second visit after just over a week, drove all the way there and they were closed. We were so gutted that we went back a few days later and everything was just as epic as the first visit! Have tried both the chicken tinga and chorizo tacos now, both amazing, loaded fries are to die for and the selection of sauces is insane. Legit my new fave place and the best mexican food ive ever had in the U.K, and so gutted we live too far for delivery or we'd order weekly! Coming back this weekend with my bestie & can't wait. Such a lovely vibe too, good music in the garden, nice kinda secret feel to it as well. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Just pray it stays amazing no matter how big they get! Was very impressed that there is baby changing too as for a small venue i wasnt sure there would be so makes it even better to bring my 7 month old along too!

This place was amazing!!! We booked a table and were running quite late but they made sure to accommodate us even though they were booked up and busy. The staff were lovely and warm. The food was exceptional and the special margaritas were also amazing. The interior is cute and quirky and has a homely feel. Nothing to fault. Will definitely be back! X

UPDATE: since posting this review we were contacted by the manager and had a positive experience with them and resolved the issues described below. We appreciated the fast response and we will be returning to try this restaurant again in the future.I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. My party and I waited a staggering 50 minutes for our food, despite others who arrived after us being served before. The lack of any explanation or apology from the staff was simply unacceptable. When our food finally arrived, some of it was cold and they clearly had rushed and not put the hot sauces on our food we requested. The service was overall poor, and the food, at best, was average. I would not recommend dining here.

I have visited the place twice in the last few weeks as the food is very nice. the customer service not so much.Last time I ordered food and once done asked for the reciept, the lady on the counter said its alright, when the food is ready they will call us. When the food was ready my daughter went in to pay and out of courtesy she asked if it had been paid for. the same girl on the counter said no and my daughter was charged again. i went in to ask, the lady said her manager can only arrange refunds so he will be in touch. it has been 3 weeks. Matt hasnt contacted me. Twice I happened to be in area so walked in to ask for the refund, both times Matt hasnt been there and he hasnt made contact.Its not about the money, its not alot but its the respect for the customers which seems to bee non existant in the establishemnt.Disappointed to say the least.By the way the food is nice therefore this is not a criticism of the chef.

I've lived in Mexico. Corn and coriander run through my veins. This is the closest food I've ever tasted to the tacos and burritos of that beautiful country. Sublime every time, whether we eat in or take away. Keep up the amazing work Cantina!

10/10. I think this is the best Mexican I have ever had in the UK! Slight tex influence, but still very authenticly mexican from the tortillas to the hot sauces! Would 100% recommend and everything is very reasonably priced also.
