Local Cantina Brewery District

If you like good food, don't be fooled by the 4-star review this place has garnered.I'll come here when friends who live nearby insist. It's consistently below average. I've been between 5-10 times. The only redeeming quality is the self-serve chips and salsa bar and friendly staff. Entrees are Taco Bell quality.They're also either comically understaffed or just plain slow. There were 12 people in the whole restaurant at my last visit (yes, I counted), and it took 20 minutes for our table of 5 to get drinks. And our food order was incorrect. Yikes.I don't understand why people come here, but they do, so maybe I'm the one who's wrong here.The staff is really friendly and the interior is kind of cool. Searching for something good to say...

Met Anna and Mike here for a quick little lunch. Quiet when they opened but bustling within half an hour. Interesting menu, I ended up going with a trio of tacos. All were very good. Truck, barbacoa, saucy pig. They could use thicker tortillas, or double them up, because partway through the second it was falling apart, and the third I had to eat with a fork. But they all tasted great. Service was excellent. Prices were great. I was starving and three tacos didn't quite fill me up. It was enough, but I wasn't stuffed. I will definitely be back.

Overall good experience, business was pretty slow when we got there. I had chicken fajitas and was not a fan of the flavor of the chicken, everything else was good. My wife had the fajita chicken burrito and thought it was very good. The house salsa has a little more spice than some may like but that's right up my alley. The draft selection is good if you like craft beers which we do, but there is no domestic on tap.

We were driving through Columbus and decided to stop here for lunch. We had our dog so we sat outside and a waitress came to take our order. All of the staff were very nice and attentive. It got pretty busy inside after a baseball camp came through but we still received our food quickly.You can get your own chips and salsa inside. Then we got a burrito bowl and two tacos. The bowl was okay, but the tacos were excellent. We had the Nashville chicken and the cali chicken weazy style. So good!! I would just get tacos next time.

I am so glad we found this local cantina! The interior vibe is very "dive bar" but with classical music in the background. The walls are covered with exciting eye candy and the menu has all the Mexican must eats.They have their house made "Baby Spice" hot sauce that they sell and lemme tell you, it tastes like: mild sauce met citrus. It's fantastic. I am visiting from California and had wanted to take a bottle home, but sadly, they are out of stock. Thankfully, they are giving us two containers to take back to our hotel! Yippee! We ordered a smothered burrito to share (red chili pork) and it's delicious! Perfect size to share with someone if you don't want to end up with a takeaway container.Service was extremely friendly and helpful and invited us back tonight after 9pm for the $2.22 tacos (Thursday only) and all day on Tuesday specials. Thank you Savannah for all your help with the menu and encouraging us to call other locations to see if we can get a bottle of the sauce to pack in our suitcase! We just might have to come back to watch the Celtics game

Quick service. We had our drinks in just a few minutes. We sat outside for a late dinner. Self-service for the chips and salsa. I had a really good and meaty chicken quesadilla. I had to take half of it home because it was huge. Tasted great! We will definitely be back.

Service is horrible for a Saturday night act 5:52. Friendly service would be great. Don't understand if they are short staff but restaurant is not busy.

Local cantina has a new menu! I've always been a big local cantina fan, and it appears the changes to the menu are minimal. Wish I got a photo of the menus. They did get rid of my tried and true sangria, however there are plenty of other great drinks. The hot girl summer drink I had a taste of from my friend and it was SWEET! The margs all seem about the same as before and were good although almost too much ice, so felt like there wasn't much in there. The Queso dip is consistent and a large size good for sharing. Highly recommend. I tried the nachos which are a new item (sort of) and were pretty big!! Deff something you could share. I added ground beef but you can add any meat option. It also includes Queso, refried beans, pico, jalapeños, and sour cream. Tasty! Love the vibes and music at local cantina as well. Always a good time and good food.

Only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is because the perfect scenario they would've given me 3 more tacos on the house.BUT highly recommended. Great tacos, (wheezy americano is a must) great drinks, the vibes inside are beautiful while playing whatever sports game you need to see on the tv and very nice and helpful staff.- Populair

If you've never had a mustache ride, this is the place to get your first! The bartender poured them with quite a heavy hand, thank you : )Chips, salsa, and queso were good snacks while we enjoyed the margaritas. Americano tacos were just okay. But everyone who worked there were very friendly. Great place to get started for happy hour. Enjoy!
