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!!

We love this place for date night but have recently also taken our children out for dinner here and it’s also family friendly and the food is always delicious! Our new favourite!

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!
