    We had wonderful service and the food was good but the noise level from the music and echo in the restaurant was incredibly loud. We could hardly hear one another across our small table for 2.

    Cantina got a glow-up 🔥 New look. New menu. Same killer crew. My husband and I kicked things off with the Ceviche del Día + Hamachi Aguachile (fresh, spicy, perfection), hit the Suadero taco, and shared the showstopping Snapper a la Talla. Wrapped it all up with that dreamy flan 🍮💫 Shoutout to Michael for being the ultimate host — always so friendly, accommodating, and on point. And major love to Anthony & Haley — from Crown Republic Gastropub to 8 amazing Cincinnati spots… we’ve been cheering you on since day one 🙌 NOW we just need Anthony to pull from his noteworthy training in Miami and drop a full-on Cuban restaurant and our lives will be complete. PRETTY PLEASE! 🙏🏼😎🇨🇺 Go. Eat. Enjoy! Oh, and their pina colada & ghost and guava margaritas aren’t awful either!

    Fantastic upscale Mexican restaurant! Ceviche was delicious, so was the margarita. Snapper perfectly grilled with a mango salsa. Tacos yummy. Service was excellent (Thanks, Cam !) Manager went above and beyond to make our anniversary special! Can't wait to return.

    Cantina was delicious! I will definitely be back for happy hour or margs. My only complaint was the weird straw chairs for the high top tables. They are not comfortable.
