Delicious Mexican restaurant, with a huge amount of space, and a great local bar. Cantina is a great for families, kids, couples, and singles. A space for everyone. Packed and fun on sunny afternoons. It has a giant outdoor patio seating area, a grass lawn with lawn chairs and an outdoor stage, inside restaurant area, a pub room with bar stools and bar tables. I was in there on a rainy evening so most people were up front in the bar area. I grabbed some carne asada tacos and a local Half Moon beer, really tasty. I didn't stay at the hotel, I'll need to update if I stay at San Benito House hotel.

Really yummy and authentic Mexican food located in the historic San Benito House. Great location on Main Street, and lots of seating inside and out on their patio. Highly recommend trying the shrimp tacos - so good!

Love what they've done with the place and WHEN you eventually get your food and beverages, they're great - but what a mission to get service! I'm not convinced it's the staff, but rather their system - simply put, I'd much rather go to a place with lesser ambiance so I don't have to wait 20 minutes+ EVERY time I want to buy another round. (And that's not even on a busy night!)

The salsa was just pico which like is not salsa. They did have a gluten free lime pie that was delicious. It was super busy and so we never got any refills. And had to wait over a half hour without any food even the chips and salsa . But the food was delicious. It was 52 bucks before tip for two fountain sodas 4 Street tacos chips salsa and guacamole and a slice of key lime pie

We enjoyed the two outdoor seating sections. One with garden setting covered patio. The salsa flavored chip and salsa with guacamole is a must. The burrito and chicken salad are delicious with good portion. The only inconvenience is the lady's restroom (probably temporarily?) is in outdoor section with several people in line during busy Saturday hours. Another thing is the bill comes with tip starting with 25%, 28, 30% plus custom tip (after tax). This confused me as this is a semi self-service place.

Busy spot but the staff knows how to hussle. There's a bar at the entrance, tables in an adjacent room, and a beautiful outdoor patio in the back. We got street tacos, but it was hard to decide - everything on the menu looked so good!

Great afternoon lunch spot to enjoy the sunshine! The beer selection is great, chips and salsa/guacamole were fresh, and the clam chowder tasted wonderfully homemade.

My wife and I had a beautiful lunch here on a sunny Sunday. Perfect outdoor dining area with delicious food and a live band.

Downtown cantina, where you can find a cold drink and fresh tacos. Fresh chips and salsa are yummy. We sat outside on the patio area. Cute spot to enjoy.
