Side Street Cantina

I don't know how I skipped reviewing this spot. My husband loves coming here after playing pickleball during the week for some ceviche and beers.I've been a few times and the staff are always wonderful and their food is excellent. Large portions and delicious, fresh table-side guacamole. The inside is cute with lots of murals day of the dead themed as well as a large bar area.Plenty of street parking.

Always good. Great tacos. Nice folks. Good margaritas. We've been coming here for a couple years and they are always consistent.

My last experience at a Mexican restaurant around the beach (Ocean City) set my bar reallll low. Side street cantina blew that out of the water. Phenomenal margs and my friend and I shared the Mexican Parrila for two. Flavor top notch served in a heated mocahete for flair. Also got the table side guac . Everything tasted fresh and perfect to close out our evening. Played a volleyball tournament and definitely needed the calories.

Must try the mango salsa. Delicious!! They also serve tamales, they are hard to find and perfect here. Do skip this gem!

During our vacation in VA Beach my fiancé and I went here for cena. We weren't greeted at the door but the vibe was fun and cute. We were seated within 2 minutes and given something in drink within 2 minutes as well. Unfortunately my drink has a small, dead gnat in it and my fiancés water had no ice and tasted like sink water. The chips weren't hot/fresh and needed salt.Aside from the waters, our alcoholic drinks were OK! My fiancé ordered the añejo old fashion and I the mango daiquiri. It wasn't a strong drink.I ordered the taco salad and my fiancé, 5 different tacos (shrimp, fish, tuna, puerco, and carne asada). The taco salad was yummies and my fiancé only really complained about the carne asada taco being a little dry. The shrimp taco was our favorite.Definitely coming back when we're in VA Beach!

So much fun. I have been here a few times. Today I ordered some taquitos. They were so yum. Talk about hitting the spot. Especially with a nice big margarita to wash it down. They had a nice selection of tequila. Including Clase Azul. Which yes we all had a shot of that. I sat at the bar with friends and we had a blast. The servers were attentive even thou my friend broke a glass. Oops. This place is located at the oceanfront. So if ever walking around hit the side streets. You will find them there. There is only metered street parking and parking buildings so don't forget to feed the meters. There is a one bathroom stale. Was pretty clean. No complaints there. I liked the bar set up. Felt cozy.

Stopped here on the way to our Airbnb from the Something in the Water festival. Great location, two blocks from the beach. Prompt service from Allys S. We ordered a margarita and blueberry lemonade drink, both of which were tasty. I got a Mexi-Jap roll which wasn't what I expected but wasn't bad. My friend for a quesadilla supreme which she enjoyed. Would try again and likely reommend.

Excellent food, excellent hospitality, and amazing staff making sure you are ALWAYS okay. Vibe, food quality, and environment of the restaurant is extremely authentic. Seated a party of 12 with no issues whatsoever.

* as a mexican i struggle to find truly good mexican restaurants. this place was delicious, even the rice and beans were yummy.* service was quick and the server took the time to chat with us about the beach* the vibes were chill

It was good. Sat at the bar top, so didn't have to wait long. Had 2 cooks in the kitchen working hard. Met typical expectations for a Mexican restaurant.
