I just find out the restaurant started offering Happy Hour to customers, according to the rude manager we need to inquire about it otherwise they'll charge you regular price. I am a regular customer and I was in shocked how rude the "Manager" was who actually was dressed up X and would never think he manage the restaurant and the waitress not at friendly at all. Very dissatisfied.

The food was GREAT!! But the service.. ughh.. my whole family reserved the basement area for a 15th birthday and when the time to close came at 11:00pm instead of pulling out someone and letting us know this woman came and just shut off the music and told us they closed.. thus was very disrespectful and I think she is not made for that job and should learn some manners

Had 16 person kids party that went extremely well and we just walked in and got the back room area to ourselves. Kids had a ball, 11 year olds.I'd vote for large parties to limit menu as bill can be high.

My family and I have been coming here for years and have always had great food. We went again recently, and something has changed. We think the ownership has changed and they are cutting corners. Everything that was served to us was obviously previously frozen. The food came out in less than 5 minutes of ordering. My meal was hot on the outside and cold on the inside. I told the waitress and she brought me a new order and that was warm, but you couldn't even cut into it. It was tough from over microwaving. My suggestion is to come in for a pre dinner cocktail. Then go somewhere else for dinner.

Very good Chicken Enchiladas, shrimp tacos. I really wish fish tacos were anything but tilapia. Great tequila selection many additive free bottles and most cocktails are $13 beers $7 ? overall really nice spot that gets crowded so looking forward to their expansion into the space next door formerly EOS Greek. They have a second location on Washington Street in SoNo too. Great friendly service and amazing salsa with chips at the table. One of Stamford's better Mexican restaurants.

Although at reception we had a problem since Cesar's attention was terrible and he would not let us occupy the table we had reserved. His response was that we weren't all there, that we were irresponsible and his tone of voice was very unpleasant. The food was delicious, Valentina's attention was very good.

I was in the mood for tacos and wanted to bring my 5 year old along. I’ve been to Cantina before and know they do a great job decorating for Christmas, so thought the little one would get a kick out of that. As soon as she opened the door and saw the inside, she was amazed! 5 stars for decor and atmosphere.We kept it simple with the food - she had a steak and cheese taco, and I had 3 different tacos. The El Pastor was the best one. We also had refried beans and rice, and the chips and salsa at the beginning was nice. I love the green salsa.The waitress we had was very nice and hospitable. They allowed me to pay with Apple Pay in the establishment. It was very affordable. I will definitely be coming back soon.Parking: Free street parking on Sundays, but sometimes it’s hard to find a spot nearbyKid-friendliness: Good place to take kids for lunch
Excelente place to eat, amazing food, definitely I will come back again.

I agree with other customers. I usually don’t write reviews but I’ve just received a call from them which made me really upset. I have lunch at this place 2-3 times a month and order from them 2-3 times a week. Every time I ask to include extra sauce it’s never there and I’ve just received a call it’d be additional $7!!! It’s a little outrages taking under consideration how much $$ I spend a this place. It’s not even that I’m disappointed…. I’m simply disgusted and ready to go to another place. Let them worry about empty tables at lunch time … what a shame.Horrible customer service-they are nasty and condescending. Freaking Mexicans treat usa customers horribly. Go back to Mexico you abla
