What our guests are saying

I like this place. Quieter than most of the other cantinas around town. Good food, too. Chips/salsa/guac are tasty. Crab cakes are delicious, and be prepared as they have a kick to them. Salmon is good, and the tacos. Glad this restaurant is still here.

This place has amazing food. Been going here for years and never bad service or bad food. Highly recommend the filet mignon, if you like spicy. Very quiet and romantic atmosphere. They also catered my wedding in the Villa Del Sol courtyard and they did an amazing job of it. A+ from all my guests too.
