  • The food was amazing, batter on the fish (taco)was transparent 🤯 then the sweet potato/ haloumi taco arrived. OMG the flavour profile was next level. Lovely staff, very attentive owner, great refit. I'll definitely be back, I always thought Mex was an easy out but these guys have elevated this dining experience.

  • Delicious food & drinks, we arrived at 6pm as a group of 4 on a Friday night. It was super busy but the staff were so accommodating and tried everything to make sure we had a table. The coconut margi’s were amazing. Definitely will be back soon, thanks guys!!

  • Down a lane way on the way to Starcourt Theatre shines Cantina’s pink neon. A slice of contemporary cuisine and decor in the Lismore CBD. Taco x 3 and Margarita a must!
