    [[HIGHLIGHT]]People absolutely love this cantina and location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Personally the drinks are my favorite, specifically their margaritas are so yummy. As for tacos they are pretty basic in my opinion. I do like the trio dip for an appetizer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's in a great spot on Main Street if you're looking for something quick.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is quick and everyone super friendly.

    Buffalo quesadilla
    Colette C.

    This location is located in the heart of downtown Main Street. This establishment is very cute and cozy. The atmosphere is great for dinner, after work gathering, or just grabbing a quick bite before going home. This location was ran by college age students who were all smiling, working, not playing on their phones and enjoying their job, which is a great sight to see. Our server, Vincent, came over immediately when we sat down. He was very attentive and was great on the suggestions for their Happy Hour menu. He never let our glasses go empty without asking if we wanted another. When coming back to check on our meal, he kept our area tidy by removing dinnerware without being prompt. Service was top notch! Good job young man. The food was very appealing and delicious. The buffalo chicken quesadillas appeared to be small but it was enough and had a nice taste. It was not too spicy and was not messy for being a two layered quesadilla. The drinks were festive for the Christmas holiday and they were yummy. We had a hot spiked apple cider with bourbon and it hit the spot in this cold weather. Overall, this is a place to go to when visiting Columbia. Also take the time to walk down the street to the Capitol building.

    Chimichanga, dirty queso, chips & salsa, margaritas, roasted chicken taco, jalapeño shrimp taco.

    Adam was an awesome server. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside and it was a beautiful evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Queso and chip came out super fast, like it was already on deck, but came to the table hit while Adam, our server, was still standing at the table. We had the Chimichanga, dirty queso, chips & salsa, margaritas, roasted chicken taco, jalapeño shrimp taco. Cantina 76 on Main St has been consistent for years. Will always recommend.

    I love cantina but this is my first time going to this location. It was Friday so they had $5 red sangria which was so good, sweet and right amount of alcohol. I also got the tostada nacho special with a side of Poblano tartar sauce. The shells were a little burnt but overall it was good and the poblano sauce is chefs kiss. It makes everything taste better.

    Sangria

    Sangria was delicious. Be wary the pitcher is mostly ice - would be curious to know how many ounces overall are in a pitcher. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Servers were attentive and the vibes were upbeat with good music[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken enchilada and fish taco
    Dan J.

    Stumbled upon this nice little Mexican restaurant. We ate here two days in a row. Great service and great food. I had the chicken enchilada and fish taco they were both excellent.

    Spicy Margarita
    Sasha t.

    Heyyyyyy you guysssssss!!! Stopped in for a drink, looks like lots of folks like the spot. Didn't have the pleasure of eating but the spicy margarita was not lacking spicy! Cheers

    Peruvian shrimp taco and brisket taco
    Carrie P.

    Was in town visiting and decided to check this place out for Cinco de Mayo. Found seats at the bar pretty quickly. First of all I didn't get the bartender's name but she was amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were sitting on the side of the bar closest to the musician who had a really good vibe, we enjoyed his modern take on 80s hits.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the delicious salsa & huge portion of chips, and 3 tacos, 2 shrimp and one brisket. VERY tasty. Margaritas were on point and as I mentioned really wonderful service from the bartender & bar back. Would definitely recommend this place and will return if I visit Columbia again.

    Strawberry Margaritas
    Menghai T.

    Initial service was quite horrible. We were seated and it took 15 minutes to get a waitress to come to our table after multiple walks by. Eventually she by and took our orders. I got the Nashville, fish, shrimp, and beef and cheddar taco($20). Nothing outstanding, but they were mostly solid tacos. The Nashville was just chicken tender with hot sauce. The beef and cheddar was my only favorite out of the four total tacos. Drinks were good once they came out. Overall the service was lacking and the tacos felt average. Food(50%): 6.4 Staff/service(25%): 3.0 Value(25%): 6.5 Overall: 5.5/10

    This is a solid restaurant! It's not my favorite Mexican place, but I like this one a lot better than the Cantina on Devine street. I sat at the bar and got a margarita and some chips, which is pretty basic, but which was good nonetheless. The only thing that.I found a little bit odd about the restaurant is that there were a lot of employees there, but only 1.5 of them were working. I don't really know why they were there just to stand around and do nothing. Nevertheless, I would recommend!

    Maria K.

    Enjoyed our meals and drinks! Nice variety of tacos to choose from. My husband and I both enjoyed the kinds we picked! The guacamole appetizer was on the smaller side, but delicious nonetheless!

    Beef nachos and honeysuckle cocktail
    Tiffanie C.

    I wasn't very hungry and I didn't want to spend much either, so I got the nachos and their honeysuckle cocktail. What I loved about the nachos were the thinly sliced fresh jalapeños! The ground beef was also well seasoned. I will definitely try them again

    Dusty and greasy restaurant fixtures. Bathroom too

    Our Romeo lunch group went here for the first time today. We had seven of us, arrived at 11:15 and…read morewere immediately seated in a table for 8. The waitress took our order as soon as we walked in. She brought out chips and individual cups of salsa for each of us (the salsa was excellent with just the right amount of heat). Three of us ordered the #3 special (taco, enchilada and burrito), 1 ordered Fajitas, 1 order for #2 Lunch special(Taco and enchilada, one order the huge Cubana Torta. Service was very good. Food was great and authentic. The Cubana Torta is another thing in itself! Huge, with hot dogs sticking out the side and the kitchen sink ingredients on the inside. Freddie got half of it down and packed up the other half to take home to his wife. It's a cultural experience trying to eat the whole thing yourself. Since the last time I was here they have added a very nice outdoor covered area to the left of the restaurant...nicely decorated and a perfect place to enjoy Mexican food weather permitting!!! We'll definitely go back.

    This place holds up to the name…read more Authentic, fresh, and comforting. You can find all the classics you'd typically expect from a good Mexican food spot and more. Starting off with the chips, hand cut, and tasting very fresh with the salsa that was pretty ok. We tried the birria tacos which were fantastic. The consume was on point. We also tried the Real Mexico Enchiladas with rice and beans. The rice and beans were actually really good unlike most spots. Sopa was great. We also got to try the chicken finger plate for the kids and couldn't help but notice the chicken and fries were actually solid. All in all Real Mexico lives up to the hype and is a spot that I'd come back to next time I'm in the mood for any Mexican cravings.

    Coa was definitely a fun restaurant! I went during happy hour, and I'd say that the major thing…read morethat stuck out to me was the awesome customer service. Although I don't remember the bartender's name, he was such a cool guy and did a great job of introducing me to the restaurant. I got a margarita to drink, which was a little more expensive than most other margaritas I've gotten, but the quality easily made up for the price. To eat, I simply got three (3) cheese quesadillas, as the rest of the menu was a little too complicated for me. Although they're a simple dish, they were still really good! As for the ambiance, Coa was also a really cool, upscale, and atypical Mexican place! I think it nailed the vibe it was going for, and there are few, if any, comparable places in the surrounding area (that I've been to at least!) Overall, Coa was an awesome upscale Mexican restaurant. I loved stopping in, and I will be back in the future. As such, I'd recommend it to anybody looking for the same vibe!

    Went here last night with my husband. We were excited about the reviews and menu…read more The service was fine, but the food was only mediocre. We ordered 3 small plates and the octopus. 2 of the small plates came out and were each missing a component that was on menu description. The tamale was a dry very benign item, that was needing some type of accompaniment. If you are looking for small portions at high prices, this is your place. The 3 small plates and the octopus with an ice tea and a coke was a little over $100 with tip. Columbia is severely lacking an upscale Mexican dinner option and unfortunately Coa continues the trend.
