What DavidS doesn't like about Cantina Nueva:
I do not recommend Cantina Nueva. 1) The ambient noise level was far too high. There is no sound deadening. 2) Every time the outside door opened a rush of cold air entered the dining area. 3) Late in the afternoon the sun entered the dining area directly into my eyes and was too bright. There were no curtains or shades to block out the direct sunlight. 4) The tables are set up for 4 persons. If 2 people are dining,... View all feedback. What Snow White likes about Cantina Nueva:
Great variety of margaritas and yummy desserts. Chicken was a little salty but the mole sauce was spot on. You can also catch a beautiful sunset if you go at the right time. View all feedback.

As reported before the Open Table, I arrived at the restaurant at the time of our reservation. A sign at the restaurant door said "Ceased Operations".

Always great food! If you are looking for hot Chile, you are 9/10 times in the right place. Chickens filled Chile Rellenos are delicious!

Their gluten-free labels are inaccurate. Be sure to ask the server to check with the cook staff.

Cantina Nueva offers a mixed dining experience, from slow service to excellent drinks. Some dishes are on the smaller side for the price, while others are flavorful and filling. The restaurant is still finding its footing, with energetic staff who are learning as they go. The menu shows promise with unique offerings like jack fruit tacos, though some dishes fall short of expectations. Margaritas are a highlight, along with a welcoming atmosphere for families. While service issues were noted, the food consistently impresses with tasty, spicy options like chicken-stuffed chile rellenos. Overall, Cantina Nueva is a place worth trying, with room for improvement.

Great Margaritas and Mahi Mahi Street Tacos. Only critique is the rice is a bit strong on the cumin seasoning. Will definitely come back again!
