What Rebekah Bieber likes about Cantina 18 at Cameron Village:
Jason and his team at Cantina 18 made our daughter's 15th birthday a fun and enjoyable night for our family and her guests. The food is delicious, the service amazing, and the ambiance is festive! View all feedback. What Dave's Adventures doesn't like about Cantina 18 at Cameron Village:
We've eaten there a number of times. Our chicken quesadilla was bone dry. Service was OK, but quite loud if seated indoors. The menu is interesting, but the food has become very average. If you're looking for al fresca dining, it fits the bill, but there is better mexican fare to be had in Raleigh. View all feedback.

The quesadillas here are really unique and good, especially with pineapples! the calamari was not too big, was mainly baked and more tasted like wobble rings.

I am very happy that they are keliac-friendly and can offer gluten-free dishes. I enjoyed my steak fahitas with corstortillas and corn chips with GF-Queso!
