My girlfriend and I eat here pretty consistently. We usually don’t leave 5 star reviews on restaurants but this place has earned it. Our food is never messed up and comes exactly as ordered. Margaritas are also perfect. The service is always good as well. They also decorate for every holiday which is something my girlfriend really enjoys. Prices are also very very reasonable and the portions are generous.

La Cantina is a popular Mexican restaurant in a relatively uncluttered area of Northeast Indianapolis (i.e. uncluttered by other restaurants).
The atmosphere is pretty good in a fairly typical Mexican restaurant way. Good music, colourful decorations, nice aromas, even decorations in the restrooms.
On the downside, a couple in our group were underwhelmed with the freshness of the vegetables and the “cookedness” of the chicken. The tostaguac (tostada+guacamole) that I got was quite good, nevertheless, as was the Horchata cinnamon drink.
The service was friendly, almost bouncy, but a request for water, put in twice, no less, was completely forgotten.
My friends, who are more regular La Cantina customers than I am, felt that things had fallen off a bit.
Pro Tip
There is an area to eat outside but it is pretty directly exposed to sunlight and the elements so choose a cloudy day or early autumn or late spring. Or eat inside, I suppose.

Treated ourselves to yummy food and margaritas! I got the fajita which was fantastic!! The service was good and everything tasted amazing! The prices are good and you get a lot of food. Would recommend their queso and the traditional margarita. It was clean and we did not have to wait long for anything.

This is by far my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant. Everything about this restaurant is 5 star in my humble opinion. I’m always pleasantly surprised with how low the bill is compared to how much food you get and also the quality of the food, I have tried at least 10 different dishes off the menu and I have never been disappointed. The service here is 5 star every single time, I never have felt rushed and I make it a point to try and eat here 1 time every week as long as work isn’t to crazy

I’ve also ate at this restaurant more than once, they have great food, friendly service, and the pricing is reasonable! I just recently stopped in for lunch, it has been along time since I’ve been here. All I can say is that the food here is still Awesome! The service & staff is still excellent!

Back to La Cantina for a late lunch around 2 PM — surprisingly busy, with about a third of the tables full.
Parking is easy, with plenty of spots and two handicap spaces right up front. Inside, the AC keeps it cool, the drinks are cold, and you’ve got your pick of booths, tables, bar seating, or outdoor dining.
They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa, which hit the spot while you look over the large menu of Mexican staples. I went with the Texas Fajita — a sizzling combo of chicken, steak, shrimp, grilled tomatoes, onions, and green peppers. It comes with three soft flour tortillas (trust me, you’ll want at least six), plus a loaded side plate of shredded lettuce, pico, guac, sour cream, and refried beans.
Fast, friendly service and consistently good food make this one of my go-to spots when I’m craving something south of the border.

This is a neighborhood place, so we come pretty regularly. The food is always good and fast. It’s nice that they have an outdoor patio for spring – fall and they have even let me bring my dog to sit out there. The place is always clean and the staff is very attentive and friendly. Great daily food and drink specials. Highly recommend.

Went here the other day, and got served drinks before getting menus and actually had to ask to get menus. Then rushed to order, but the food was amazing. Really authentic and plenty of flavor! I had a margarita which was made perfectly but pricey. They did have customers that were picking up, waiting on their food which sucks because the food is good but the service is horrible.
