Excellent tacos Al pastor (my favorite ) excellent margaritas , such personalized and friendly service , and a great low-key vibe. I loved it and will be back again. The owners were like family!

The food was tasty and delish but the atmosphere was weird. It was a Sunday afternoon and I was the only person eating there which is highly unusual because I heard that this place is busy on weekends. But at least the owner/waiter was attentive.

Food was tasty, the atmosphere was a little weird. One person was working at the register and brining the food to the table. They disappeared for 20 minutes so we just had to wait until they came back to get to go boxes. Honestly the food was worth the wait and would have even waited longer if necessary!

Love the food here. Reasonably priced. Great drinks. The owner always adds a personal touch. The outdoor patio adds a nice touch.

Super tasty tacos. The steak was our favorite, but Baja fish and al pastor were both solid as well. The chicken empanadas were also definitely worth getting. The burrito wasn’t my favorite, so I think I’ll come here for the tacos mainly. The staff was super nice, and the vibe of the restaurant was fun!

Friends took us to Cantina La Mexicana on our trip to Boston and I’m so glad they did! The restaurant has a relaxed vibe, with several different seating areas. Service could have been quicker, but overall was congenial. Food overall was outstanding. The salsa was tasty, chips crunchy, and margaritas strong. The beef quesadillas were particularly delicious – definitely get them. Excited to come back!

These were the absolute best margaritas we’ve had on the east coast! Everything was infused in-house and the flavors were fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back!

The owner of this restaurant is really kind and makes an effort to welcome all guests ( he made us some special margs last week!). The food is great and the drinks are great. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for some warm food and a good time! They have been around Union square for a long time and deserve your visit!

The customer service was a little off not too friendly but overall a good experience for $4 tacos it wasn’t too bad. Grilled vegetable taco and Chorizo potato taco. Almost tasted like chili, potentially good but not very authentic tasting although the environment as well as staff make it seem like a more authentic Mexican restaurant experience. Service was fast, might I mention!

Best tacos and margs around! No clue why this place isn’t packed 24/7, definitely a hidden gem – family that owns the place is extremely friendly, great service, back patio is adorable and great for groups.
