Beyond the mains, the a la carte offerings are equally tempting. From the rich, creamy Guacamole Salad to hand-crafted Brisket Tacos and the spicy-sweet Pastor Taco, there’s a taste to satisfy every craving. The desserts, particularly the indulgent Fried Ice Cream crowned with honey, cinnamon, and whipped cream, or the crispy, cinnamon-sugar kissed Churros, provide a decadent finish to the meal.

We really enjoyed La Cantina in Victoria, TX. We were just passing through on the way to Corpus Christi and stopped for a leg stretch. As we were walking downtown, we discovered La Cantina for a quick lunch break. It was a delicious lunch of chips and salsa, rib eye tacos and a fajita bowl. We recommend and would come again if in the area to try the tequilas.

Went to La Cantina Tacos and Tequila with my family and we had an awesome time! The tacos and enchiladas were so delicious and their drinks were even better! The vibe was chill but fun. Everything came out fresh and fast. And Our waitress made sure we were taken care of the whole time. Definitely recommend checking them out!

We have been here twice since it opened and definitely will be back many more times. The atmosphere is fun. The drinks are great! The food is really good too! They had the football game on the TV and the speakers on, too. And the staff was amazing!

I’ve come several times, and enjoy their ranch hand sirloin meal, the potatoes are delightful, and the asparagus is always cooked well! Last time I had this meal, it came without the butter and gravy on the potatoes? It wasn’t bad, just wasn’t expected! Now Brunch just started and I can tell by the lack of mimosas it’s been a success! And I would like to provide my 2 cents on the matter: Prices are very reasonable considering the economic circumstances around us, I had chicken and waffles and it was delightful! Very nice seasoned chicken tenders, my only input is I wish it were more palatable to enjoy with the waffles, which is where coconut flour popped into my head, and I bet with that tweak in flour, it would be delicious with the syrup and waffle. The hollandaise sauce is great on its own, and did not go with the meal, but again, coconut flour I think would transform the dish entirely. I will be back and bring friends to enjoy brunch in the future! Can’t wait to try the other options out!!

I LOVE La Cantina. The food is fantastic and the service is top notch. I have been several times, and the latest was to watch a musician friend of mine perform. He was fantastic and the patrons were very enthusiastic about his performance, which made the atmosphere all the more welcoming, especially as a musician myself. Since it is a restaurant with a bar, it does get loud and rowdy from time to time, but the performers keep it mostly quite tame. I'm dropping some videos from my friend's performance, his name is Julian Jimenez. Great guy, great performance. 10/10 all around for La Cantina

Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious, full of flavor and perfectly served. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable — great music, friendly people, and a true local vibe. The staff was attentive, polite, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Every detail, from the drinks to the presentation, was on point. Definitely one of the best spots in town — we’ll be coming back for sure!

We were heading home from a quick weekend getaway to the Galveston area and decided to stop in Victoria. This restaurant popped up on google so we decided to try it. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere and decor are on point. The owner, Patricia, is friendly and welcoming. Our server, Brittany, was very sweet. I had the beef enchiladas and they were excellent. Hubby had the Fajita Street Tacos and really enjoyed them. He was especially impressed with their charro beans. We’ll definitely return next time we’re passing through. Nancy Palmview, TX
