I was surprised that the business owners would even ruminate about opening a Middle-Eastern/Lebanese/Mediterranean style restaurant in a tiny city/town like Los Alamos considering the population and questionable exposure to this type of cuisine, but I’m glad that they made the choice to move forward with it. Since I can’t see the future, I won’t know how successful this restaurant will become, but I hope this business remains for the long haul because my experience here was good; not to mention, this area needs more diverse options since all I mostly see is American or (New) Mexican-centric food. Living in Las Vegas (Nevada), and having traveled to many countries, I have gained appreciation and the palate for all types of food from a wide-array of cultures/ethnicity, so it was refreshing to see this restaurant here.
I stopped here for lunch with a co-worker on 9 Oct 2024 and overall, I “liked” this restaurant as depicted in my 4-star rating. When we arrived, the restaurant wasn’t busy at all…I’m not sure if it’s because this restaurant was on the newer side and many people didn’t know about it, or perhaps we didn’t arrive during peak hours; or, maybe this restaurant wasn’t that good to other customers. Regardless, I was happy that there were tables open for us because I didn’t feel like waiting. The restaurant is a self-seating and pseudo-self-serve concept, meaning, we chose our own table and utilized a tablet to order and to pay for our food instead of placing our order with an actual employee (server). I didn’t have any issues with that process; however, I wanted to add it to this review in the event people aren’t as tech savvy, or thrive off of interaction with people/employees. Normally I’m not one of those virtual/technology types of people but I will say that their tablet was intuitive…and I especially enjoyed how it provided an option to split the payments versus having to request it afterwards. On the other hand, I’m not a fan of the tablet prompting you for a tip prior to services being rendered…similar to how a lot of businesses are using that concept (the whole turning the digital tablet around at the cashier counter asking if you would like to leave a tip). It’s not that I don’t agree with leaving a tip; I just don’t agree with paying a tip before a service.
I ended up ordering the Chicken Soup, Hummus with Pita Bread, and Gyro Plate. The soup had great flavor and had that traditional lemon taste to it; the hummus and bread was adequate – I can’t say it was the best I’ve ever had, but it still hit the spot. The Gyro Plate was outstanding…that meat was cooked to beyond perfection (I enjoyed how they seared the outside of the meat providing a magnificent texture to it). I was a little bummed that the plate didn’t look exactly like the picture, meaning, I was hoping for a little bit of veggies with my entrée. But, overcoming certain life’s obstacles can be easy…I just went to one of the employees and asked for a plate of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions…which he happily provided with some cucumbers.
The price-to-quantity/quality ratio was respectable. The booth seats could use a little bit of an upgrade since it wasn’t comfortable at all – it felt like I was sinking into the seat, and I know I’m not that heavy. I hope for the benefit of other customers, it was just that booth and not the entire restaurant. The service that we did receive (bringing out the food and drinks) was adequate – the employees were nice and efficient. If you’ve never tried this place, I highly recommend it. I am all for trying new places and new types of cuisine so eating food outside of your typical McDonald’s and Applebee’s is always within my playbook. Why not adventure away from the boring standard?

Have been trying to reach you since yesterday. My to go was missing the Turkish delight. It had the coffee and ice cream but not the actual Turkish delight. Please refund me the 12.99.

First time visiting this restaurant and would just assume they have staffing issues. We were sat at a table and that was it, we were not told to order using the table tablet. Once order was placed we also figured out that food was delivered by a robotic server. That was cool to see but also not discussed or explained. Saw many people grab other people’s order off of robot in confusion. The food/drink service was very very slow. Had to ask for waters that were part of our order. The appetizer we ordered was the ceviche tostada, which was good and then ordered some burgers with no bun. Just want to be fair and not be misleading with the photo. Our order took a very long time to get to the table and we had ordered regular fries and the talo fries. When we waved down a server and asked which were the talo fries he did not know, laughed and went about his business. The burgers were over cooked and dry.
With all that being said I know businesses have bad days and kinks to work out. The atmosphere and setting is very appealing and I will be back and hopefully have a better experience.

I had heard from an aquantince that this place was really good so I decided to check it out.
I feel that the place is a little small and I had to sit at a table that was right next to the entrance.
I felt the service was quick and friendly and I got my food quickly as well.
The portion sizes are huge, which is great. I was able to take leftovers.
It seemed as if my chicken tagine was really watery, but it was my first time getting that dish so I’m not sure if that’s normal.
Overall it was a good meal but I’ll probably get something else next time

On 5/26/2023, we visited the LA Cantina. We ordered the al pastor tacos, picanha tacos and a chicken sandwich along with a margarita, mojito and a root beer. Total was ~$64 before tip and included taxes.
We liked the mojito and rate the margarita as average.
Both tacos were great, however, the black beans were lukewarm and not to serving temperature.
I did not try the chicken sandwich but my son said it was good.
The staff seemed friendly and helpful but after we sat down and were given a hard copy of the menu, we saw a staff person twice (once to input a code for the adult beverages and second when those beverages arrived).
You order from a Square kiosk at your table and it works just fine. However, you are asked to pay and tip upfront. I dislike this setup since I want to tip based on the service I receive and not what I expect to receive. I think that’s a fair approach for tips.
The robot that delivers the food is interesting and fun. The robot seems to find their way around well enough and we had no problem retrieving our food from it.
I realize this is a newly setup restaurant and there will be some growing pains. With that in mind, we liked the taste of our food but there should be more attention to patrons after the food is delivered. We had silverware for 2/3 people at the table and we would have provided immediate feedback that the beans were not at serving temperature. Both of those issues could easily be resolved if someone comes by within a few minutes of the food arrival. While it may not be possible, I would prefer to run a tab as we go so we can easily add more drinks and tip at the end. We tend to tip well but held back bc we didn’t know what to expect. We likely would have ordered a set of two mojitos but didn’t want to hassle with waiting to flag down a staff member and go through paying again. Also, why not offer both menus whether you sit in the Cantina or the Pyramid Cafe? The kitchen is the same and this would accommodate varied taste within patron groups.
I applaud the owners for this updated approach here in LA and hope they continue to improve. As I said, the food was good and with some slight improvements, it will enhance customers’ experiences. We’ll come back after they get established and compare our experiences.

My wife and I had a lovely dinner at the LA Cantina last night. Great food and atmosphere! Attentive and knowledgeable staff. Amazing cocktails and wines. I especially liked the Old Fashioned. The robotic food deliver ‘cats’ are really cute too!

Tried out Los Alamos Cantina ( new addition to Pyramid) with my friends for the first time today and we were impressed with the interior and really amused by the cat droids/robots that brought us our food. =^•.•^=
Thought the margarita and fish tacos were pretty good. It was a really good time.
Using the ordering pad at the table requires a lot of reaching across the table when we all order separately, but it wasn’t a big deal. The order pad is attached to the table and you need the waiter to manually enter a code for ordering alcoholic drinks every time. I don’t really have an opinion about it.
The bathrooms are on the same level as the cantina.

Sit down restaurant with tablets at the tables to order on. The Pita and hummus were excellent. The dolmas were perfect.The Greek salad is very good with a superb Greek dressing. My partner said the chicken would have been better if it was grilled as it seemed baked or boiled. Spanakopita was perfectly baked and flaky but the lemon flavor was overpowering and masked what seemed to be fresh spinach.

We got the appetizer plate to go. The hummus was ok. The babaganoush was cat food out of a can. The green chile salad has no food redeeming quality except a little spice. I can’t recommend this place to anyone.

Haven’t had a burger prepared, just the temperature I want it to be in a long time. Perfect mid rare ! Well seasoned and the bun toasted to perfection . Didn’t break the bank and left wanting to come back.
