Cantina 18: Reviews & Ratings

Food was good, I miss the duck tacos. But the eggs Benedict was delicious. Value on the mimosas is seriously lacking. $8 and you get 1/4 of a standard wine glass. Service was excellent though

Cantina18 is a unique place to enjoy a tasty Skinny Margarita , Queso/Salsa & Chips prior to a delicious meal! The Fajitas & Enchiladas are incredible as well as many other options! More importantly the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Full disclosure, we are weekly customers who travel 30 min to patronize our favorite Mexican restaurant and have done so for over 15 yrs. No other place in the raleigh area compares..

My cousin and I just popped into Cantina 18 for a quick snack and the service and food was so good. My cousin and I agreed on how cute the restaurant was. Can’t wait to come back for a full meal! The churros are the best I’ve ever had btw!

Outstanding service, food is very tasty, nice decor and music. They have private seating area for groups, and they have plenty of eating options and drinks. Prices are affordable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get some Mexican food and have fun. They are not an exclusive Mexican food place, they have seafood and other menu options. Decor is not Mexican, it's modern, open and clean!

Lucky to have been there on a lovely day where the glass doors could be opened wide and be in the fresh air! (There are many heat lamps if it wasn’t so warm) Soy gives me migraines and finding a restaurant in NC who doesn’t use soy is few and far between. Mattie and Ashley were amazing helping me out with this conundrum. I’m so glad we stayed to enjoy there friendly and helpful dispositions, instead of trying to find another place. I think Mattie went up to check ingredients at least 5 times, just to be sure. In the end, I told them to surprise me and it was very tasty indeed! Fresh and delicious- thanks Mattie & Ashley for your positive attitude and sincerity when helping me! I’ve experienced other places being put out by it.

The place is so good! Kristen waited on us and was so fun and polite!! The short rib tacos and shrimp tacos were so delicious! Even the chips and salsa are fresh and prices are so fair! The best tacos we have had- better than Competitors in the area and better than Salt and Lime!! We will be back!! Place is also immaculate!!!
