Great drinks and good tacos. Definitely need to get a reservation well ahead.
We arrived shortly before our reservation time, and though the restaurant was half empty, we waited at the bar for 30 minutes for our table to be ready.

Visited with friends for the first time tonite. Loved the chips, guac and queso dip so much I had to bring some home for my hubby to try along with the street corn. Delish!! Frozen strawberry marg was soooo good! Great happy hour prices!

If I could give 6 stars I would. This place is stellar. Me and my girlfriend got 8 tacos for 20 dollars and she ate 1.75 of them and I consumed the rest. The chips are also very unique, crunchy, and good. The tacos are pretty loaded with meat but you won’t catch me complaining about too much meat! Our server Ben was attentive and had cool hair. The tacos are only this cheap during happy hour. I recommend a reservation

Canteen was a very charming little place! Indoor and outside seating within view of the capitol building. I was on a business trip and walked there from my hotel for a solo dinner. I had the shrimp diablo tacos with sides of beans and rice. Very good flavors, and great service. Highly recommend if you need a quiet but tasty place to stop in between busy schedules.

We had the restaurant week menu, great deal, lots of food. To our surprise Potato taco was AMAZING, crispy and tasty , chicken pastor was perfectly w/ the pineapple, carnitas taco was a bit fatty, but amazing flavor! The enchiladas were delicious. Flan was soooo yummy!

Stumbled across this restaurant while searching for burritos. In full transparency, I went into it with a bit of a negative bias due to them being a part of FF group, but every single one of those feelings disappeared immediately upon entry to the restaurant.
We visited on a Monday afternoon and took advantage of their generous and fantastic happy hour. Half price tacos? $3 Tecate? Yes and yes!
We were seated and immediately provided with their delicious pinwheels. Holy cats – chicharones with a hint of lime and Tajin… you can’t go wrong.
An order of queso came out next, along with some fresh chips. This queso is pure crack, folks. I wish I could put it on everything.
Steak tacos were very good, with just a hint of heat. And this will sound like an odd complaint, but they were actually too full. I couldn’t fold it neatly and bite into it without looking like a starved bear…
Quesabirria tacos were insanely good as well – the crispy cheese shell was perfectly salty and complimented the tender beef.
Everything arrived in perfect timing and the service was stellar. Absolutely amazing late lunch on every single level.
Kudos Canteen!!

The cauliflower tacos, crisp and fully cooked cauliflower. Best cauliflower taco I have ever had. The soft flour tortillas tasted freshly made. All the ingredients in the taco were fresh. Chicken al pastor tacos tasted authentic and full of flavor. Carnitas tacos were another favorite. Free appetizer that has the texture of a funyons with spices was delicious. The sangria, frozen margarita with perfectly blended. 1/2 price happy hour on Tacos. 1/2 drinks.

One of my all time favorite taco spots in Madison. I’m obsessed with the pork belly and brussel sprout tacos. Their margarita is delicious too.

A small restaurant next to the Capitol building- came here for dinner with a group of 6 + an infant. We chose to sit in the very back, near the bathrooms, so we’d be out of the way of major foot traffic, and in case the baby should start crying (which she didn’t). We tried all sorts of appetizers and entrees and beverages, and loved them all. The shining star was definitely the lamb tacos- AMAZING. Also had pitchers of regular margaritas, Tecate ‘Chelada style’, pork belly tacos, asada tacos, smothered burritos in a bowl and the regular way, tres salsas and chips. I’m sure I’m forgetting something, we were all absolutely stuffed afterwards! Service was great- friendly and prompt. Parking (was a Sunday evening) was right on the street outside and free. They had a nice outdoor seating area setup but we chose inside since it was cooler. Busy but not overly crowded. Good vibes all around!
