Finding Mexican in Atlanta


By Leslie
·
January 10th, 2010

So we found a great restaurant for dinner last night!  We stayed in Buckhead last night so we ate over there.  We came across Cantina Taqueria.  It's on Peachtree and Piedmont.  (Where Lola used to be (which I really liked))  Turns out it was opening night of the restaurant.  The food was pretty good.  The drinks were pretty good and the chips and salsa were OUTSTANDING!  I have had my fare share of chips and salsa in my life growing up in San Diego and I've never had better.  I recommend this restaurant.  Even though the service was at a snails pace, (I credit that to opening night) the food was very good!  (Ask for Sirion, he'll hook you up!)  Here is what we ate:

We started with one of the largest margarita's I've ever seen:

Here is our very mediocre guacamole. . . stick with the free chips and salsa:

Cantina1
I ordered the vegetarian enchiladas with black beans which were good, not great, but a good option for us veggies.  But I am still waiting for the rice that was suppose to come with it. . . 

Cantina4
My husband Sim ordered a steak quesadilla.  He thought it was good and the steak quality was great.

So overall, check out Cantina Taqueria if you're in the neighborhood.

    I’ve driven by several times and assumed they had problems because they always have an “Under New Management” sign. Thanks for the review. I’ll have it give it a try.
