The Cantina - Mill Valley

Just an update, I wanted to give them another try and see if they were back to the high standard of food they originally had but haven't had in a while. Gave them a call to ask if they are still charging for chips and salsa. They are, so I won't be going back. If you're the owner or manager reading this how about giving the first basket free and charging for additional baskets or raising the price on all the dishes a buck or two. I'm not cheap and don't mind paying more for good food but I'm not paying for chips salsa at a Mexican restaurant. Especially ones that are obviously out of a bag.

I have been a patron for 7+ years and often thru the pandemic as well so I greatly appreciate their outdoor dining. One of our favorite bartenders Louis is always a pleasure. I seldom look at anymore, because, well....everything is expensive, everywhere. But I did look yesterday. And was shocked that a combo plate of 1 taco, 1 enchilada, beans/rice was 21. Ugh. Service was friendly and quick, but I think there was the equivalent of zero red sauce on the enchilada. Literally just what the tortilla may have been dipped in, if that is the prep method they use.

Mill Valley is a beautiful city and the Cantina is a popular restaurant in the area. The atmosphere is very nice and the food was delicious. They serve great enchilada dishes and the service was exceptional.

Came in for lunch. It was an okay Mexican spot. Food came out in a really weird order with my husbands burrito out even before the chips and salsa. Our server was friendly. The restaurant is really big. I like all the fireplaces and the decor. I don't live in this area so I probably wouldn't come back but it was a sentimental spot as it's where my parents got engaged way back in the early 80's. It was fun to see where it happened.

Thanks to Jackie for helping us out. We had a group of girls (high school) celebrate our daughter's birthday. She had a good time thanks Cantina!
