O’ya Cantina

Wow! Just, wow!I'm visiting my brother and family and he suggested we give O'ya a try, because, love dragons, I also like tacos.We arrived late afternoon and were greeted quite friendly. After taking our order to go, he offered us complimentary iced tea. So thoughtful.Our first visit, we did the 10-taco platter with carnitas and Peruvian chicken. It came with pretty good tortilla chips, pico de gallo, rice and beans. The taco meat had so much flavor!!! Carnitas can be flavorful or boring, and O'ya has nailed it. Chicken can often be dry or flavorless, but again they've ensured a delicious and moist flavor. Mexican rice and black beans also super well done. Everything tastes amazing.The next night we weren't sure what to eat and decided to do O'ya again. I looked over the menu and floated the Weekend Special platter of roasted Peruvian chicken, Tinga taquitos, and a carnitas tamale. Did O'ya nail it again? Most definitely. Delicious, crispy skinned chicken with a chimichurri sauce. Everything also amazing and this time we tried the cilantro rice.This place definitely deserves five stars, even with take out which as you know is never as hot and fresh as food served one site. We can't wait to eat in soon.

Food is always delicious with generous portion size. The service is gracious and helpful. I have been a customer here since their early days and appreciate that they never falter. I'll be back!

O'ya has a good mix of entrees and sides on the menu, and it is definitely not just another riff on latin american food. If you are looking for typical Mexican, this is not that. This is a counter-service restaurant, but they do have a good amount of indoor seating (bright and clean, and a step up from the typical strip center space) and there is a patio with plenty of outdoor seating that they appear to share with Town Hall Burger. The guacamole bowls were very generous, as were all of the sides - plenty of rice and beans, and really good plantains. The tostadas were really good, and the tamales were also good. The ropa vieja was a bit disappointing (too fatty for me). In general, everything was a bit light on spice, so if you like it spicy, order accordingly.

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A really cool interior. The carnitas taco was very good with the grilled onions, the tomatillo sauce though was thin and watery. The best part of the meal was the tasty black beans and rice.

O'ya Cantina is fantastic.We had the plantains which were cooked well and there were 9 or so in the order.We also ordered two pupusas which are filled with delicious cheese. These are like a grilled flat bread but better. And of course we had meat filled crispy empanadas. These were tasty and cooked to perfection. This place is a winner and I see now why it's so popular and always busy. Can't wait to try some other things.

I've dined here a few times and the food is always great! You order at the counter then they bring you your food. Not fancy but definitely a great lunch spot.

This place is a gem! I had the breakfast burrito, which was filling and packed with flavor. The chips were also delicious on the side. I ordered the mango and strawberry margarita and it was hands down THE best margarita I've ever had in my life. Why? It was made with real fruit juice and had the right ratio of alcohol to juice. The service was great-- the staff did a phenomenal job getting my order out quickly (less than 10 mins on a crowded day). Inside the restaurant is a vibe as well. Perfect for a group of friends for brunch, especially on a nice day sitting in their outside seating.

We moved into town a little while ago and have enjoyed O-Ya a few times before. Unfortunately, this past Saturday will be our last time ordering here. I arrived 15 minutes after my food was supposed to be ready and it still was not ready. I completely understand that happens, but my interactions with the staff at the cashier made me never want to come back here again. After waiting an additional 5 minutes on one last item (now making our food 20 minutes late), I heard another staff member keep asking the cooks to make the last plate we were waiting for, all the while our other food was sitting out on the counter getting cold. After a few more minutes I asked the person at the front desk if he wouldn't mind remaking one of the orders because it's for my pregnant wife and she isn't supposed to eat food that's been sitting out for a while (no less for over 20 minutes, plus we still had a 15 minute drive home). After I explained this he didn't say sorry or even address what I said, he simply laughed at me, shook his head and told the cooks to remake the order. Then to make matters worse, again without responding to anything I had just asked, he takes our bag off the counter, and proceeds to bring it into the back, while nonchalantly kicking the bag. I assume this was some sort of tantrum response to my request. He ended up placing the bag in a temperature controlled container, which I appreciated, but not responding to me and kicking my food bag repeatedly, even if it was nonchalantly is beyond rude. Finally, we are given our food at a total of 25 minutes late. When the food was handed off, there is not a murmur of an apology nor even eye contact. Additionally, when we got home two of the plates were incorrect: either missing items or were made incorrectly. It's rare that I will write a review on poor staff or customer service, but frankly this ruined our night. We won't be ordering from here anymore.

We are vegetarians and ordered rice and beans "for 4" for $12. We received an 8 oz cup of beans that was only about 2/3 full. That's "for 4"? I called back, thinking surely a container got left out of the bag, but no, they confirmed they gave us the amount they had intended to. Pretty disappointing.

Another restaurant taking advantage of their patrons. So disappointing. They charged us $5 to order pickup plus $.50 for placing an online order plus $15 for a tip! They charged us OVER $20 just for placing an order. No food included. And since when do we get charged a 20% tip on takeout?! And on top of a $5 charge for placing a pick up order? That is STEALING money. They also gave us 1/2 the amount of chips as usual and cut down the food size big time. We were regulars but now will find another place to spend our money. Not a good idea to over charge people when a zillion restaurants are already coming to this area.
