We dined outside, that was the best part of our meal. I think I ate the worst tasting raw oysters of my life. My sister said the peel & eat shrimp were okay. My daughter said the caprese salad was bland and the texture of the cheese was off. Other food at our table was mediocre at best. The boardwalk fries were pretty good but different from the not very good fries included in a chicken tenders combo…

Nice seating, Great service. Terrible food. Worst Coronarita I ever had. Not frozen and tasted like some really cheap liquor. Made me want water. Also don’t confuse it with the Spicy Cantina upstairs.

Worst food ever, everything we asked for was flavorless and simple, the service is also bad you have to be looking for the server and yell at them to ask for something else. What a waste of money

The food is mediocre at best. My daughter and I had tried multiple things on the menu at various times and none of it was anything to write home about. Bland and boring overall; I don’t know that anyone in the kitchen had ever heard of these new things called “spices”. The irony of calling this place “Spicy Cantina” is overwhelming, like putting a sign on the edge of the ocean that says “Desert Ahead”. We’ve had a number of their appetizers, burgers, and paninis and were gloriously underwhelmed by all of it. Many of the items on the menu are straight out of the supermarket freezer section. Also, be prepared for CRAZY wait times — or not being served at all. We went this past Friday (2023-Sept-1) and were told to sit anywhere we like in the outside seating area, which worked fine for us. There was one couple seated at another table and that was it so it wasn’t like they were busy. We sat there for about 15-20 minutes and not a single member of the waitstaff came anywhere near us. Furthermore, the host who told us to sit anywhere (who was busy with what was obviously a personal conversation which apparently I interrupted) left about five minutes after we sat down, and a new hostess appeared — who promptly got on her smartphone and tuned the rest of the world out. My daughter and I got up and left and I’m sure nobody at the restaurant noticed or cared. On our visit immediately prior to this one we waited 15 minutes for someone to take our order, 40 minutes before the food arrived, and another 45 minutes before we got the check — all for a salad, plate of nachos, and a burger. During neither visit was the restaurant busy; it wasn’t the lunch or dinner rush and there were plenty of open tables around us. So, to summarize: Slow and care-free waitstaff, apparently-oblivious management, and bland and boring supermarket freezer food. Overall this is a real shame; the boardwalk deserves a good Tex-Mex place and unfortunately the only thing it has is this.
