Their drinks are also the best. The waitress was on her game and funny.

I ordered a classic margarita that was not over the top sweet, but just right. We also got the trio dip (the bean dip OMG yum! , and the burger of the month which had a fried chicken patty on it! The ambience is quaint and intimate, perfect for a nice little date night : Jenni Lane was our server and was so sweet and wonderful to us! Highly recommend Cantina del Centro if you are in the Nelson area!

Cantina del Centro is BUSY, its got a vibe, and there are people wall to wall at the bar. So it 's safe to think that the drinks are modern, and awesome. We took some to go, and TBH with you, margarita 's to go probably shouldn 't be a thing (at $12 ea. unless they are going to be large sized. : The food was interesting, unique, and well prepared. Wings were good, and street tacos solid! To me, given the current pace of inflation might be fairly priced, but felt....light (portion wise . Desserts same not awesome for example the 'tres leches ' was more like a soaked deconstructed pound cake, and portions small. I 'm over 45 yrs old, so maybe I 've old fashioned, and wanting to be full after I spend $200 for tacos for 4 dessert. (shrug hard to call Service (for pick up was awesome. McKenzie. The room bad ass. Go if you want to have fun, seemed like a bustling locale.

We were doing a motorcycle ride and wanted to stop for a quick bite. It was not so quick. 2PM on a Monday and it took 1 hour. I had the cucumber jalapeño margarita. It was well balanced and delicious. They even had non alcoholic cocktails. We were glad we ordered chips and guac because the service was so slow. The guac tasted like it was store bought and not special. The tacos are super tiny. I was impressed with the Barbacoa taco. The lamb was braised nicely and went well with the rojo salsa. The camarón tacos went well with the mango habanero salsa. The waitress didn't explain any of the sauces. The food was ok, but not enough to redeem for the bad service. We wouldn't come back again.

The prices were a bit high, but I would definitely return. You can also get them to go.
