    The location is great, the food is really good, prices won’t break the bank, and the service is friendly. The company though, my babe, is always the best part!

    Friendly staff. With the nice weather the retractable doors were open for fresh air. Lots of variety on the menu.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. The authenticity of the food was incredible. It was better than our recent trip to Mexico! We finally have found a great place to dine. We highly recommend Cantina Norte.

    5 at the table no extra salsa for nachos. Same portions given to table of two. Kids ordered cheese quesadillas no salsa came with it. Chili rellenos was disappointing. I thought they had fajitas but didn’t see it on the menu. Apparently the chicken enchiladas were okay. Not sure I would return. Maybe it was just a bad day in the kitchen.

    Food choice was varied and excellent. The only complaint was the noise level was somewhat noisy at times.

    I filled in the reservation requesting a booth and noting that both my friend and I were celebrating our birthdays. We were shoved in a busy, noisy spot, spoiling the intimacy of the dinner, and mostly ignored. No mention of birthdays. Food is fantastic. Ambience: unpleasantly noisy and busy. Service: flippant.
