I wasn't sure about the atmosphere here because it gave party vibes because of the very loud music but there were lots of kids too. I could not hear anything without yelling. Food was mediocre but the cool part was the Pina colada in a pineapple.

Drinks and Food were amazing, highly recommended. They have DJ, listened to Peso Pluma. They even charged my phone witch was very important for me… overall it was great, good customer service. Photographer came over took a cool picture of me and my buddy @romerohuaraches and gave us a cool picture frame with our photos. Great memories and fun moments, definitely would come back.

I celebrated my birthday, Sunday,6/25 at this establishment. I can't say enough about the staff who made my day extra special. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was great. Our server Serafin was the real star of the show. He saw to it that we were attended to regardless of the crowd. It was a packed house. I would definitely recommend this place on any day but a special occasion especially. I will absolutely be returning. You've gained a loyal customer.

I really enjoy the food. I've only gotten the Baja Fish Tacos, which are a hit or miss. But when they hit, they hit. The coleslaw compliments the fried fish and the jalapeño aoli gives it a nice kick. The trio tower is worth it if you are a guacamole lover. It has the 3 different types of guacs the restaurant offers. The Campechano Tacos are good if you are a meat lover and looking for something nice and heavy to eat. They give you free options to pick from if you or a loved one is celebrating a birthday here. The Cantina lava cake is a must try. Warm ooey gooey chocolate on the inside melting the icecream. If you are looking for somewhere quiet though I do not recommend. It can get very loud at times.

Stumbled upon this place -- so glad I did find this gem. Loved the atmosphere. The decor. The DJ and music. The vibe. The service was impeccable -- even including the bathroom attendant. Interesting yet tasty menu. Loved my skinny jalapeño margarita made just for me :). Best chips !!!! I will be back

Had the best time at Cantina! The live DJ is pumping out your favorite songs while you eat!

The atmosphere is unlike any other - I felt transported somewhere outside of NYC. The chips and guac is a great portion size. Tacos come with 3 in the order and were really yummy! The drinks are a great size and strong! The dessert was delicious!

It is a good place for a celebration because the vibe is lively with music and colors. The food, however, was not worth the price.

It was brunch time when we came here. The alcohol drinks were decent, my friends ordered several rounds. I found the staff to be friendly. I guess that's all good about this place. Here, things start to get worse.

Diet code tasted nothing like diet coke. The drink was so watered down that it wasn't even fizzy.

It would be nice if the eggs benedict had more flavor. There were supposed to be different flavors in the trio guacamole tower, but all the guacamole tasted the same.

Party-friendly. The food is mediocre.

It is a very nice and cozy Rooftop, it has an excellent vibe, however, you should be careful when making the reservation, because they are not very clear about the waiting times.

The food and drinks are delicious, it’s authentic Mexican food!
