So/so experience at Cantina 1511. – A girlfriend and I ate at Cantina last friday night. The experience was ok. We did not have a reservation and knew that there would be a wait, we come here often and it is always busy, so this was not unusual. We were told by a woman at the front door that our wait would be about an hour. Drinks were recieved at the bar by a very kind and patient blonde bartender, and we moved to have a seat at a high top table. Soon after we sat down a dark haired girl asked if we would like chips and sal... read more

Great experience all around! – My husband and I just had a very positive dining experience at Cantina 1315! I was a little apprehensive after reading all of the "bad" reviews but our experience couldn't have been better. The waiter was attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. We wanted something authentic and asked him to choose for us. The food was excellent, the guacamole was the best I have ever had, and the mojito a delight. What a delightful experience. We would recommend it to all.

What's the problem? – After reading reviews we were worried that service would be bad, especially since the parking lot was quite full when we arrived. However, there were absolutely no problems with service for us (perhaps because it was Sunday night.) I can't speak for the authenticity of the food, but it tasted really good, and was out quickly. The server was knowledgeable about what was better between A or B (always ask your server to find out how good the service is!) Drinks were nothing to write home about but I can't ... read more

Decent food, terrible service – I've been to Cantina twice, and both times, the bad service far outweighed the good food. The first time I went with a friend, and we sat outside on the patio. After our meal, we were having a drink when the waiter came up and asked us to leave our table because people were waiting. I was horrified at his rudeness and vowed to never go back. Several months later, I went again, this time with friends on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered a pitcher of sangria. When the bill came, it was significantl... read more

Food is great, but the service is terrible – This is the 3rd time that I have been to Cantina and I finally felt compelled to write a review. My wife loves to go here because of the Guacamole dip, but this time it was unbearable. The service is awful, whether you are waiting in the bar or on your food. It takes a while for the server to come to you and then you wait for an appetizer , but our dinners came out about 5 minutes later so you cannot enjoy the appetizer and my wife's order was wrong. It was also funny to see many ... read more

I can walk which only makes it better!!! – Is Cantina like having tex-mex in San Antonio? No, but it is always solid and consistant. I go 2-3 times a month because the food is good and the prices fair. Even if i'm not in the mood for anything there is always something on the menu that catches my eye. Don't go in expecting traditional mexican food b/c they don't really have it, what they have is flavorful Tex-Mex and they do a great job at it.

Great upscale Baja - but be prepared to wait – This is a great place for Mexican with a twist. Not the average food, salsa or anything else that we have come to have to eat here in Charlotte that is called Mexican. This place is anything but average. The food is wonderful and the best guacamole that I've had since Cabo- its very pricey but worth it! The staff is just ok-not exactly friendly but it is very busy most of the time. I think that the kitchen staff needs help as they are SLOW SLOW SLOW; We go often and the wait to ... read more
