Lovely place. This must also be a lot more mexican than your usual tex mex inspired restaurant. Tried a lot of different dishes and some were better than others, but... read more they all felt more mexican than I am used to. Great guacemole, and I remember a couple of the dishes with pulled meats to be really good.
If you want mexican, go here.

  We went to this restaurant very curious to discover Mexican food, and we surely weren't disappointed. The food is very authentic and tasty, and the environment is very original and... read more cosy. We totally recommend it!

  With flavour that just keeps giving, this lovely pop Mexican place is worth not just one but multiple visits. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the food tastes better... read more with each mouthful. A special surprise was the celebratory menu on our third visit in honour of Mexico's Independence day. We tried all three recommendations, namely Flatus dorades de ternera Xochimilco (beef), Chile rellenos Oaxaquita (chicken) and Costillitas de puerco de la this Juana (pork). All were delicious. On our other two visits on this holiday we had, from the regular menu, the guacamole, panucho, enchiladas Verdes, chilaquiles al guajillo, and Huarache Al pastor, all of which were beautifully presented and incredibly tasty. We hope to return next year.

  We are from Los Angeles and have eaten more Mexican food than we could possibly remember, and La Cantina would slot in there with the best of them. Standouts were... read more the sopes, the pastor, the vuelve a la vida, and the cebollitas—fantastic. Come!
