First time, I have a longstanding rule that I always give a place a second chance if I don't care much for it the first time. Some things that need to be fixed:- Salsa served with the very nice chips (not greasy, but fresh and crispy) has a strange fruitiness about it and no heat. Kind of bland.- Tamales de puerco had a different sort of red sauce, not the typical Tex-Mex chili. A nice change. However, the sauce was rather bland. That's a good thing because the tamales were not, you can taste the pork. Rice was salty.- Another in the party had sopes which had a chicken and tomato and lettuce topping. More like a tostada. Bland. No heat.Overall, the menu items could use a bit more heat or seasoning but not so much that it gets away from true Mexican cooking.We will give this place another try, cuz maybe this was just an off day.

Found this place while in Lawton and wanted to try a different Mexican restaurant. It's located on the north side of the Lawton Mall. We arrived around 6:30pm and there wasn't much people there, should've be our first clue but we went anyways. Wife and I were quickly seated, chips and salsa was brought out promptly. Chips are crisp but we both didn't care for the salsa as it was more of a sweet flavored without any kick. The wife ordered the steak quesadillas which had plenty of meat in them but the cheese wasn't too our liking. I had the chicken soup / Caldo De Pollo, had good flavor with plenty of shredded chicken, zucchini, carrots and potatoes and some corn. It was served with rice, which was moist and delicious. Service was slow as well. Just not for us but they succeed.

Service was very good, ambiance is authentic Mexican restaurant. Had grilled chicken burrito and a margarita. Burrito was very tasty and the margarita was delicious and well prepared.

I am from Texas. As a Mexican who is constantly in Oklahoma due to my partner being here, I have tried so many different Mexican restaurants from Lawton to OKC to try and get my fix and each place has failed...... until La Grand Cantina. It's a tucked away spot in a seemingly shut down mall, but once you find it.... Oh let me tell you it is worth the trip. Reasonably priced food. Good drinks. Seems like they have a pretty great happy hour as well. I ordered Arroz con Pollo, absolutely delicious. My partner got chicken fajitas, he devoured them. The appetizer, which was Queso, also so good. Our server, Victor, was very kind and responsive as well. I cannot tell you how much of a relief it is to find food this good in such a small town. If you're looking for some great comfort Mexican food, give this place a shot. Only thing I will say is that they might need to hire more people soon with food this good! The phone did not eat first so I do not have any good photos unfortunately.

This is by far our favorite Mexican Restaurant in Lawton, and one of our top 5 overall as well. We love their food, and the owners are great as well. They are the nicest people and are definitely one of our favorite parts. If you haven't tried it, you must! I know the mall is not super nice, but this restaurant is by far the best part about it.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I drove up to a half dead mall and saw my destination was located inside the sad structure but this was a great stop and I highly recommend. The restaurant is in the small side but they have bar seating and mix of tables/ booths. What sticks out the most is how kind everybody is. I had the absolute best server (Leo) who has the perfect personality for this job and when I ordered my skinny margarita, the bartender himself, delivered it and ensured I was happy with the beverage as there is no premade mix and it's a by hand beverage. The drink was perfection, but had I not liked it, the bartender was postured to make any needed corrections, what a pro move. You receive complementary chips and salsa upon arrival, the chips are nice and light and the salsa is mild and tasty. I ordered several things from the side dish menu to include some thing I've never had before which is an avocado enchilada, and it was surprisingly delicious. The green sauce on top and the flavor combo is spot on. I I got the shredded chicken taquito as well, the taquitos are not like the dime, circumference taquitos you might be thinking of, these are almost oval, in shape are packed with tons of moist meat, I would definitely make this a meal combo in the future, and add some sour cream and guac on the side. My least favorite was the ceviche tostada. The contents would have done well in a shrimp cocktail but lacked the flavor/crunch/ and freshness of a ceviche but hey, it is Oklahoma. I really enjoyed this meal, the atmosphere, and margarita. Recommend a stop in!

Delicious food and great service, what more can you ask for? Every time I come to town to visit family we usually choose Mexican food for at least one meal out, so I've visited the various restaurants with mixed results. My brother spoke highly of La Grand Cantina and he wasn't wrong. Great meal and service, I'm hoping to get a chance to eat there one more time before flying back home.

Our waiter was friendly and kept an eye on us through the entire meal. Hubby had the chile relleno with beef and I had a chile relleno and chicken tamale. The food was delicious. Wish this place was closer. Highly recommend this place.
