Very cozy! Wonderful service! Delicious food! We had the Mexican street corn, tacos and fajitas! Great Margaritas! Mexican coffee was the best!

Cantina Mexicana is one of those places you end up craving after your first visit. The owners, Maria and Alphonso, clearly care about every detail—from the food to the atmosphere—and it shows.
The chicken chipotle is unreal. It’s my go-to order and I honestly get it all the time because nothing else hits quite the same. The wings are also excellent, and to be fair, I haven’t had a single dish here that wasn’t on point. Everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned, and made with intention.
And the drinks… next level. If you go, do yourself a favor and order the cucumber jalapeño margarita. It’s refreshing, perfectly balanced, and just spicy enough to keep you thinking about it long after you leave.
This is the kind of spot that turns first-timers into regulars. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out.

With a diner-like appearance and colorful plates to add a southwestern palette, this place is like a Mexican / Diner hybrid. Upon entry, I noticed a cozy enclosed outdoor seating area, followed by a few steps up to the main entrance. Evening street parking was a breeze. Famished, we sat toward the back and commenced with two appetizers: guacamole with hearty tortillas chips (they don’t break when you scoop up the guacamole), and Choriqueso (melted cheese, chorizo, Picolo de gallo, guacamole, flour tortillas), I wasn’t crazy about the salsa, however, the guacamole was very good.
I decided to try the Toro Narteño (grilled steak, jalapeño, pico de Galli, Monterey cheddar cheese). Which was very tasty, I found the jalapeño to be very fresh and crunchy, and My husband ordered the Enchiladas Suizas (pulled chicken, green salsa, corn tortillas, cheddar cheese, Monterey, Avocado, pickled red onions, rice & black beans). I didn’t like it at all, the tortilla tasted like it was made with all-purpose flour and the chicken was soggy. Rice and beans were ok. Our friend ordered the Burrito Classico (ground beef, shrimp, steak), he liked it. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. His recommendations for desserts that were made on premises were everything on the menu except the ice cream and mexican coffee cake. So we ordered the tres leches and the Mexican coffee cake (because I heard it’s made with mascarpone cheese! So it’s like tiramisù without the coffee). They really aced the Tres Leches. As a side note, if you have a sensitivity to msg, you should let them know because they do use adobo in their cooking.
4 stars are for cleanliness, wait staff, appetizers and dessert.

We ordered through DoorDash and what followed was a nightmare. Within hours of eating, my husband and our 1-year-old became violently ill with severe vomiting. Watching a baby suffer like that is absolutely heartbreaking and unacceptable. We ended up in the ER. Health Dept will be called as well
This was the only food they ate beforehand, so we strongly believe it was food poisoning from this restaurant. Whatever the cause, the food was clearly unsafe. There is no excuse for serving meals that can make an entire family this sick—especially a child.
We will never order from here again, and I strongly caution other families, particularly those with young children, to think twice.

Delicious local Mexican food! Sometimes when I visit my fiancé’s family in SI we will come here for lunch and it never disappoints! Today we went with guac to start and then tacos. They refilled our chips multiple times for no charge! The Pina el pastor and el ranchero tacos were delicious and we’d definitely get them again!

We ordered the steak and blackened chicken fajitas. The sangria was well made. The staff, owners were very accommodating, gracious and friendly.
This was our 1st visit and it won’t be our last. We can’t wait to dine there again!

Service and food here were excellent. The guacamole was fantastic and tasted fresh. The tacos didn’t fall apart and they had wonderful combinations of flavors for each taco option. This is definitely my new go-to spot on Staten Island.

Super chill atmosphere! We ordered the shrimp cocktail & buffalo wings. My husband did not like the shrimp cocktail it was in a sauce heavy on cumino or curry or tumeric. Wings were average. Main entree was the rib eye tacos!! On point! They were delicious, perfectly cooked DO NOT skip on the sauce, the mushroom sauce made the meal!! The tres leche was not entirely soaked in milk. I was disappointed for I know 3/leche is suppose to be soaked in 3 diff kinds of milk. The sangria was average. I will come again, but it is not my first choice. Very Mediocre ♀️
