Best Mexican joint in BS!! (IMO) Loaded Tots appetizer was plenty for the Wifey...i had the Tex Mex Bowl at the recommendation of our awesome waitress (Kayleigh). Food was hot and super good flavor, waitress was perfectly attentive, atmosphere was chill (Thursday 6:15pm). Will absolutely be back to try the salsa bar...oh...we like spicy, and the waitress warned that the table salsa was spicier than most places - nice touch!! (it was, but not bad). Just spoke to the owner who checked in with us...super good dude and great attitude. What a great dinner experience!!!

Friends and I gather on Sunday evenings to enjoy each other's company and good food. We decided to try La Cantina. Excellent choice. The service was great, the food amazing and all at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be back. I saw a stage and meant to ask if they have live music

Came here opening weekend with my family and food was delicious! A lot of great flavor in the chicken bowl. We ordered the margarita flight and each one tasted amazing! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Since then, we have ordered delivery 2x and both times the food arrived quick, hot and well packaged.

This isn’t your typical Mexican restaurant. You get the sports bar feel with authentic Mexican food. The portions are very large for the great price. The cocktails are amazing and made with fresh fruit which is the selling point for me. Will be coming back for sure!

Genuinely a great place to sit and eat at. Definitely not your typical Mexican restaurant. Portions were plentiful. Loved the modern day aesthetic. And the service was phenomenal.

I’m in Spartanburg on a work trip and was looking for a good Mexican restaurant in the area. This place came up first on Google, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the chicken and beef fajita combo along with a strawberry mojito. The food was tasty, and I really enjoyed it. However, the mojito was a bit disappointing—it wasn’t strawberry as listed, just a regular mojito, and the alcohol tasted too strong for a cocktail. The ambiance was great. I saw couples on dates, families dining together, and others like me sitting at the bar. Overall, the restaurant has a nice vibe, reasonable prices, and decent service. Though the service was okay, there’s definitely room for improvement.

This is a great addition to the local restaurant scene! Our visit was fantastic! The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the service was spot on! The salsa bar was a nice surprise and added value to our overall experience. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend others check it out as well!
