Rookies Cantina offers a wonderful atmosphere with plenty of seating options, from comfortable booths to spacious tables and a large, inviting bar. It’s a great setting to enjoy their authentic Mexican cuisine.
The standout dishes were the rice and refried beans — truly some of the best we’ve ever had. The shrimp tacos were fresh and flavorful, and the chicken fajitas arrived sizzling and perfectly seasoned. We also loved the chicken empanadas; they were delicious on their own and even better paired with the variety of dipping sauces.
Service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food.
We highly recommend Rookies Cantina for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Mexican dishes at a great price! ✨

I went to Rookies Cantina a couple of days ago around 9 PM, and it was pretty empty at that time—which meant service was quick and attentive. The food was tasty with great flavors, and parking was easy to find at that hour. I’d definitely go back again to try more items off the menu!

Taco salad with ground beef was amazing. Steak tacos were also a hit. If you are looking for really good Mexican food, definitely give Rookies Cantina a try.

We walked into the restaurant about 8 PM on a Friday night when it was busy and we still only waited about 10 minutes for three of us to be seated. They had quite a few options on the menu and everything was priced reasonably, especially for the portions that you ended up getting. The food was very enjoyable and we also enjoyed the chips and salsa for the different salsa options they offered. If you’re a local or even if you’re in town visiting, I think it’s worth popping over to check it out if you’re in the mood for Mexican.

This restaurant on the corner of a mall strip took me by surprise. Rookies Cantina serves authentic Mexican food with fantastic service. Our server, Dani, was friendly, knowledgeable and truly outstanding. She gave great suggestions and portion sizes were out of this world! Prices were super reasonable and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning again and I recommend everyone check it out!

I was referred to this place from co-workers stating it was fantastic, after give it a try a Friday after I would have to disagree with the food compared to other Mexican restaurant we’ve been to.I rather go back to Poblanos Mexican Grill in Oviedo they are so much better.

We did Door Dash for take out. I would have given them 5 stars if we were there but I can’t eat Cilantro and it was very hard to order without Cilantro included in so much of the menu. It’d be nice for delivery to be able to check the boxes NO when choosing your food. But we will definitely eat at Rookies again but maybe go in when we can ask. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Try them- fresh- tasty and fast

It was 2:30pm not busy. Chips were warm and the salsa was amazing unfortunately I didn’t have that much because my date ate it all lol everything was seasoned well. Steak was cooked perfectly and service was great. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SPICE, ASK FOR THEIR HOME MADE SALSA!
