stopped by here after a recommendation from a family member. there wasn’t wait, but there wasn’t anyone at the host stand so we waited a bit for a table. a bartender sat us, and we waited quite a bit as well to be served. i imagine the restaurant is just short-staffed. i didn’t personally get a drink but all the drinks i saw around the restaurant looked fantastic! server was very friendly and accommodating. food was tasty and portions were big! loved the chips and salsa trio.

Dive into a Mexican marvel at Taqueria Cantina! The Mega Guacamole is an explosion of creamy delight, while the Paneer Nachos redefine cheesy goodness. The Stuffed Jalapeño brings a perfect kick, and the Chimichanga is a satisfying journey wrapped in a tortilla. Each dish is a culinary masterpiece that turns dining into an artful experience. Taqueria Cantina, where flavors ignite and taste buds dance in celebration! ️

Great customer service, the staff were really helpful and friendly. Food portions were good. We had tacos which came alongside Mexican rice and beans with some peppers freshly prepared. The ambiance is amazing, great for dates or catch up with friends and family. Cocktails are good too n fresh especially the piña colada. We also got to try the dessert churros so warm and tasty highly recommended. Location is easily accessible and no need to call for reservations you can just walk in. Loved it right just in the city with a view of the pier and water

It’s cute inside but the food is really bland. The service matched the food. The corn tortillas got soggy and fell apart quickly. They were a mess to eat and I ended up eating the filling for one instead of trying to manage the lack of integrity. It’s in a touristy location and I haven’t had a good meal in this area yet. It’s like they dull the flavors for the tourists. The good thing is this place has a lot of gluten free tacos but they’ll be bland.

Such a beautiful space with a stunning event. We came for the drag brunch and stayed for the show. So inclusive, fun, entertaining, and vibrant. And the food was absolutely great too. If you worry about your bottomish mimosas not getting filled because of the show you super do not have to, they have their flow down to a science and you will be attended to throughout while not interrupting or getting in the way of anything. Don’t second guess coming, it’s a blast!

The atmosphere is amazing and the food is delicious! I ordered the chips and salsa sampler to start. Three tacos: shrimp, Al pastor and asada that came with side of rice, beans and grilled jalapeño. Mexican coke to drink! Walking distance to piers and pike place market!

The wait staff were very friendly but unfortunately I didn’t love my food. I had 3 tacos and the corn tortillas were very soggy and falling apart. The tortillas were bland anyways so I ate the filling. My friend ordered the fajitas and they thought it was average, they had to ask for flour tortillas as they didn’t care for the corn ones either. The drinks were very good though.

We came here for drag brunch, I ordered guacamole, steak & eggs (mid) and a beef burrito. The beef burrito was delicious. We drank tequila and won a bottle of tequila in a dance contest. The drag show was fun and good but slightly lacking. After a certain start time they advertise a first come first serve policy but they didn’t honor that and we were stuck with okay seats. Overall great experience.

Ok enchiladas, the nachos were better. Everything was a bit bland and pricey. The drinks that were being brought out to other people looked fun and tasty but we did not order them at that time.
