    3 of us shared several small plates and one entree, and we were all happy with everything. There's some very unique choices that all turned out to be fantastic. So we highly recommend them.

    Cantina is one of the best restaurants in the city. Sensational food prepared in a scratch kitchen and service that is second to none.

    The food is absolutely fabulous—best Latin/mexican food in Cincinnati. The guacamole is outstanding! Wonderful selection of margaritas. Jimmy who was bartending both times we visited was extremely attentive and helped make excellent recommendations! A must try when visiting downtown Cincinnati!

    Our drinks and our food was delicious. The restaurant is small and so it felt a little tight. Our waitress was polite but she did not go out of her way to make us feel comfortable or provide us with information about menu items.
