A popular spot for fans of tequilla or authentic Tex-Mex, it's tasty grub in neighborly surroundings.
My wife and I discovered the Cantina when we moved to DC in 1991. Never heard of it until we saw a little 1"x2" ad in a magazine. Decided to try it out. My wife ordered the carne asada and I ordered the Tijuana (shrimp and chicken). When they arrived with the freshly made tortillas, we thought we'd died and gone to heaven! Every time we went there, we each ordered the exact same dishes we ordered that very first time. We've since moved out of state, but every time we pass through DC, we make sure we grab either lunch or dinner at the Cantina. We have NEVER been disappointed with the food or service.
If you're into Tex-Mex, this is one of the best to be found anywhere. The fact that their pricing is very reasonable is another selling point. The (free) chips and salsa are spectacular, you may be satisfied with them alone! I particularly enjoy the chicken fajita, but also enjoy their salads. In nice weather they have nice, outdoor sidewalk seating.
