Our family visited Steamboat for a week, and we had an unbelievable time there. We discovered the Cantina on our third night, and we found ourselves at the Cantina everyday for the remainder of our trip! We brought our kids there, and we also managed to go once without them. Every experience was exceptional. The decor brought us right back... more

I love the Cantina. At most restaurants you have to pay more for a huge portion. I don't have a big appetite. I order the mini tacos and get a great meal that's not more food than I need and at a very low price!!! more

All of the other reviews talked about the good drinks, so we were concerned that the good reviews were really good review for the drinks and not the food. This is not REAL Mexican food but good Americanized Mexican. Good flavor but not as exotic as I like but they have nice pepper sauces to add whatever zip you want.... more

We were there in Feb2009, the food wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either. It was average at best, but at least the prices were reasonable -- especially for a ski area. I wouldn't go back based on my first visit. We had 7 in our group and everyone agreed it was only average. more

My husband and I came into your restaurant last Thursday night and we just wanted to tell you how much fun we had. The staff is great and our bartender was really fun. At first she didn't talk to us much, but when looking around it was obvious that the restaurant was really busy and she was busy making drinks... more

During our vacation in Steamboat, we ate at many restaurants. ....By far ...The Cantina was our favorite!!!! The atmosphere was perfect...Our group of 8 was of all ages.... 6-60+! We felt as if we stepped into Mexico - from the Margaritas to the unbelieveable Fajita presentation! The service, food, and atmosphere- made for a great night out! This restaurant has... more

One of the best (if not the best) Mexican Restaurants that I have had the delight to dine in. Food was excellent....great menu...great service. Was surprised to find such a terrific Mexican Restaurant in Colorado.....try the Margaritas...probably the best I have had this side of of Mexico. Highly recommend!!! We ate there several times during our stay .......a stay in... more

The Cantina strives to serve traditional Mexican cuisine with a creative flair. You can always get a taco or a tamale here, but we really enjoy providing our customers with some menu options that they just can't get anywhere else. My favorite is the Baja Enchiladas - grilled shrimp, fresh spinach and mushrooms wrapped in corn tortillas and topped with...

We went in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday and the place was not at all busy so we figured we would get great service and have a good time. Unfortunately that was not the case. We generally like to sit at the bar so we walked up and said hi to the bartender (she complelely ignored as... more

I am extremely disappointed to hear that a customer was mistreated by one of my staff members. Thank you for bringing this instance of poor service to my attention. I have taken the appropriate action to insure that this will not happen again. Our grouper filet dishes are consitently some of our most requested dishes and on surveys are always...

The food here was very bland, I had the fajitas and the chicken had no seasoning. Avoid the fish! more
