What a sad day that Cantina 1511 is no longer a reliable Mexican fav in Charlotte. :( The service was awful (minus the manager who was very helpful at the end of the night) and my food was undercooked, took at least 10 minutes to get it recooked and then the same piece of fish was charred and given back to me. The queso we got was not heated up and as we were eating it, they brought the meat to put into it as it wasn't even mixed in. I was more disappointed at how poor the whole experience was as Cantina used to be a favorite of ours. We hadn't been in about a year and unfortunately, things had decreased significantly since then.

Husband ordered the pastelitos and when the food came he took one bite and the inside was cold. They took it back and instead of firing a new dish, they microwaved it and brought it back out. We know this because the one pastelito had the bite taken out of it. Microwaving it made the dough go from crispy to soggy. I ordered three tacos and one of the tacos I got was the wrong one. I just ate it. Waitress was inattentive and the bartender noticed and came over to check on us and got the check for us. Overall a bad experience and will be going to the park road location from now on instead.

Noticed the prices have gone up quite a bit. We usually get the tables I guacamole but it was $15 as opposed to 995. It seems like everything has gone up at least four or five dollars.

We did not stay- the restaurant’s dining room was full of dirty dishes at empty tables- tables hadn’t been cleared- just didn’t give us a good vibe for our first visit. No one wants to sit and eat surrounded by dirty dishes.

We went in a Monday evening with a 7:45 pm reservation. We were told that we had 15 mins to order because they were closing the kitchen early. Why take a reservation if you are closing early? Why not tell us you’re closing early when we arrived instead of after you had seated our party? Very disappointed

Service was overwhelmed. I didn't get wine until after appetizer came. Took so long to get appetizer gave up on ordering food. Kids food took 40 minutes to come, kids burger bun was stale and hard, kids chicken tender sat in greese and was awful. Only good thing here were chips. Not coming back.

One of the better Mexican restaurants. Food is always good. This time my wife's Carne Azteca was a little tough to chew, but flank steak can be that way. Still one of our favorite places to eat.

I wanted to like this restaurant because I love the Park Road location, but it was totally disappointing. I can not comment on the food quality because we decided to leave after we ordered drinks. The skinny margarita was basically orange juice and tequila. Our server was friendly, but service was unusually slow and the restaurant was not full. I would not try this location again. There are many other cantina style restaurants in the area that are much better.

Disappointed is what it was. We ordered table side guacamole they brought it from the kitchen not right. The drinks were ok. The mint in my mojito was black I don’t think that is the regular color of mint. They have changed to ordering tacos by 1,2,3 so I ordered one plus black beans rice and some of the slaw they serve. The manager brought our food and all I received was a taco no sides. It really used to be a great place for food and drink but this time it was sad.
