Feeling of nostalgia from my USC college days as soon as I walked in the doors! Food, especially the queso, is just as delicious as I remember. Margarita was made perfectly!! Me and my former college roommate went during Restaurant Week for their 3 for $20 special. Outstanding decision. Our waitress was very nice as well! read more

My friends and I stopped by here for a quick dinner after craving chips and tacos. We were seated pretty quickly and our waitress brought our chips and dips quickly after ordering. The queso tasted pretty well and loved the guac as well that came with it. The salsa was also quite refreshing. After filling up on chips, I decided to go with one of their chicken tacos and the blackened shrimp taco. I liked how you can order the tacos separately instead of as a group of 2 or 3 of the same kind. The blackened shrimp taco was quite tasty and loved the pico and crema it came with it. The chicken was also pretty good too. Both tacos came with a good amount of meat and were filling. We got our tacos fairly quickly as well. Definitely recommend coming by here for a quick meal! read more

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant. The food was nasty and tasted like it had been cooked then recooked. The guacamole was a small amount for $7.50 and parts of it were brown. It was not freshly made. I will never eat there again. What a ripoff for such low quality food. It was a total disappointment. I should have read all of the negative reviews! read more

Don't do the margarita pitchers... they taste like sugar hot dog water. The waitress also said "they have a limited amount of alcohol they can put per pitcher... must be three shots max. Tasted like margarita mix from Walmart... except Walmart is cheaper. Oh and the cabinet fell off the wall mid margarita. read more

The tacos are very good as well as the thick chips and queso with fresh jalepenos. The drinks were made very very weak and the service was sub par. read more

Really, really loud to the point that our server couldn't hear us. Our server took our order but never came back to refill water or ask if we wanted another cocktail. The meat was dry in all of the tacos. Wouldn't go back read more

This is the spot me and the crew met in to have a quick bite and outstanding drinks. The conversation is always great. The wait staff are friendly, personable and attentive. The interior is clean and well maintained. The drinks are excellent. The salsa and chips are my stable and never disappoints. Love the downtown atmosphere. read more

Going here late at night really hit the spot. It was nice and quiet with warm shades covering the inside contrasting to the darkness outside. Our waiter was efficient as he got us seated immediately with drinks being brought out promptly. The food didn't take long either and the steak quesadillas special was one of the best I've ever had. The meat, dipping sauce, and chipotle-like paste on top worked well and made me interested in how the other items on the menu faired. read more

Lunch at the cantina was very much enjoyed on cinco de mayo. The location was busy but the host was able to accommodate our big group by combining two tables (thank you!). Regular margaritas were 1/2 off and coronas were $2.50 which was a great deal. The margaritas were small but good. Coming from Texas, we're very critical of Mexican food. Overall, the food was not bad but not extraordinary. The dip sampler (salsa, queso, and guacamole) was a great appetizer for the table. The main entrees were ok. Nonetheless, we had a great time as a family and wouldn't be opposed to returning. read more

Cantina 76 provided a good lunch of tacos and margaritas in downtown Greenville! They have an eclectic menu of different types of tacos. We ordered the fish taco, the Peruvian shrimp taco, the buffalo chicken taco, and the traditional beef taco. All were served wrapped in a flour tortilla, though you may request a corn tortilla. While chips are not included, they cost about $3.50 and come with sauces. You also can order other dips, like guacamole. The flavors were fun and tasty. On Saturdays, the traditional margarita is $3.13. What a deal! In fact, our entire order came to $22 after taxes. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The atmosphere is relaxed with a bar and screens showing sports. We recommend the restaurant and will be back to try the other taco options. read more

This is a great place to grab some cheap tacos. These are way cheaper than most downtown prices, making it a fantastic place to grab a quick and cheap bite to eat. I loved the variety available with the tacos, and I was here during a fast season so that made all the difference. Usually when you want a fish taco you get one option, but this place has multiple! I am excited to come back and try the various meat tacos as well. Service has the overwhelming feel of a new restaurant - no one really seems to know what is going on. We had to walk up to our server to get the check. I totally understand that and am not holding it against them while they figure things out. Would love to come back and see how things have changed. Ambiance is a little strange. It's dark and kinda loud, and I was there in an off-time. I am sure at night it gets quite loud, which isn't my jam but probably doesn't bother other people to the same extent. read more

Oh em gee! I am so obsessed with this place for fish tacos! They also have really good chips, salsa, guacamole, and queso! Unfortunately, they charge for everything lol.

I can sum up my experience in one word -YUM!!!!!!! I forgot to snap a photo of the trio app which was guac , queso & salsa - all three were on point - lots of choices of tacos - my friends all ordered different tacos - cod , shrimp , chicken , jalepeno & beef and I had the ground beef enchilada- we all loved our food - atmosphere was cute and service friendly and prompt . Would definitely go back and would recommend. read more

Extremely noisy, but the primary issue was that the place was not staffed properly for the lunchtime convention crowd. After our food order was taken we didn't see our waitress for at least 15 min. We actually had to flag her down as she was racing between tables - and she had tables inside and outside. My husband had to pick up his drink from the bar - after we saw it sitting there for almost 10 min. The food is good, but do NOT go during a traditional busy time. read more

Cantina 76 has the best margaritas in town! The classic flavor is amazing, and the strawberry basil is fantastic. I love splitting a margarita pitcher and the queso, guac, and salsa trio with friends! The salsa here has a lovely, rich flavor that makes for an excellent double dip combo with queso. It's a good thing the staff makes sure there are always plenty of chips on the table, because there's no morsel of guac left behind! There were some yummy specials offered today, so I tried the smoked gouda brisket taco and sweet potato fries along with my usual favorite, the peruvian shrimp taco. Everything was super tasty! The fried banana peppers added the perfect pizzazz to the smoked gouda taco, and the sweet potato fries were cooked to crispy perfection. I always leave here full and happy :) read more

staff was totally rude. asked for a regular height table due to having an infant. got offered a table outside in the sun, or a high top. both of which would not work with a 6 month old. We asked for just a normal table inside, of which 6-7 were available and open and apparently, we were annoying the hostess and management. It was not even busy at late lunch time. She left to go ask and whispered to us nothing was available. She would not even talk at a normal volume to hear. She was unconcerned with us and would barely talk. the staff we encountered were rude, arrogant and apathetic. we felt totally unwelcome. Waste of time read more

The food was really good. The tacos are cheap. I had three BBQ Brisket Tacos and a side of Mexican Street Corn. The service was good as well. I was seated quickly and my food arrived quick from the time I ordered. Will for sure be coming back. read more

Our party of four went here fairly early on a Saturday evening. We were seated at a row of high bar tables divided from other diners by plexiglass. We ordered waters, two margaritas and chips and salsa. The waitress returned to take out food order. We did not want to order yet as we had not even received our margaritas. Husband thought he saw them sitting at the bar. Waitress did not return for 15 minutes until husband waved her down. He asked about our margaritas and she started writing them on the order pad like we were ordering more. He told her we were still waiting for our original ones. She said they still weren't ready and disappeared back to the kitchen area. Shortly after that she went to the bar and picked up the SAME margaritas that had now been sitting there for 20 minutes. Once we had our margaritas we ordered food. I ordered the brisket taco on soft corn tortilla and we ordered the chicken nachos to share. Brisket taco was fabulous. Chicken nachos were okay -- very minimal chicken. Daughter loved her quesadilla which looked well-stuffed. The margaritas were very good as well and cheap on a happy hour special. read more

Had dinner there on Thursday April 17th. We were there at 5:00 because we were headed to a show at the Comedy Zone. We thought an hour would be about right for dinner and drinks. It took about 15 minutes for someone to acknowledge us. We were one of three tables that were occupied. We put in our drink order and an order of salsa and chips. We ordered our entrees and they came out less than five minutes after we ordered. It was way too fast and we did not have time to even enjoy our drinks and chips. Food was just ok nothing great. Probably won't be going back. read more

Love this spot. Tacos are reasonably priced and excellent. I'll be honest I was worried and then I got my 3 tacos and I was not disappointed. Chicken and pork tacos are great. Margarita pitchers are well worth it. It's reminiscent of a college restaurant in vibes. read more

Service was ok. Not notably super service but not rude either......hostess was chill; friendly server but not anything memorable; male employee who came over quickly to mop after my daughter spilled a soda.... Drinks were ok- a good value on a Sunday afternoon. Not sure if their drink prices are always cheap but we were happy to see a $5 mimosa and $7 craft marg on the check. Food was meh. This restaurant needs to CHANGE THEIR OIL, and this is the main reason I decided to write a review. Lots of things were fried and everything fried tasted like old oil. I'm not saying I won't ever come back but I'll go somewhere else for tacos 10 times before I ever return here. read more

On a business trip in Greenville, SC and just short walk from my suite was Cantina 76. Cantina? Well, Hell yes I'm gonna stop! The bartender was nice, engaging, and she made a good Spicy Margarita. Not too sweet at all and the jalapeños were a fresh addition! I just had an appetizer, the Dirty Queso. Queso cheese with chicken, chili, beans, pico, cilantro, etc...it was very good. Maybe I got lucky? Maybe this place is always good? But certainly on my first ever visit, it was really damn good! read more

Stoped here to eat while visiting the area. First impression: where is parking we were new to the area just visiting so we had to figure out parking. And realize we could park on the side of the building in this little alleyway area. We sat outside, the weather was not to bad that day we got a little corner to ourselves which was nice. But you are pretty much facing a part of the parking lot. Food: food was good, we got wings and some kind of tacos (I can remember) the drinks were better than the food in my opinion. But the food was good Sever: our server was vary attentive and nice Bathroom: I did not use the bathroom at this spot so I don't have much to report on that. However the restaurant itself was clean. read more

Cantina 76 is in the heart of Greenville and seemed like a solid option for lunch. It was about an hour wait for our party of 8 people to be seated on a Saturday. The interior is pretty typical with high tops and low tops + a bar when you walk in. They also have outdoor seating which would be fab when it's not sweltering. Salsa and chips have to be ordered off the menu (not a big deal, it's a few bucks) and were tasty. We also tried the queso that was delish. Tacos - Maybe it's that I've been spoiled with some of the best tacos out there. Or maybe it's because they served fish sticks in a cold tortilla and called it a taco. Either way, the shrimp taco was ok and the fish taco left much to be desired. Would I come back? Probably only for the happy hour specials that were mentioned in other reviews and some more of that queso. read more

All taco spots are not the same. I love everything about Cantina 76! Whether you are seated at a table, or dining at the bar, serve is great. Always friendly, always efficient. We love the chips and salsa there. We get the mild salsa and love the smokey flavor. My favorite tacos are blackened shrimp. The bf loves the Surf n Turf. He is also a fan of their chicken salad and quesadillas. The sides are also really good. Favs are jalapeño coleslaw and the Mexican corn. My beverage of choice is the Original margarita or the Prickly Pear. read more

Come here during happy hour! It's worth it! Their Saturday happy hour is 1/2 off margaritas! They don't have this listed on their website but I found this tidbit on GVLtoday. We grabbed two pitchers, tacos, enchiladas and an appetizer of dirty queso all for just over $30. The service was speedy fast!! I felt like we just ordered and immediately our food was in front of us. They had a full house on Friday night and the service was impeccable. - Enchiladas: Choose between cheese, chicken, roasted beans, beef and then choose either verde sauce or red sauce. Each enchilada is only $4! - Peruvian shrimp taco: Delicious!!! Fried shrimp with a tangy sweet sesame chili sauce. - Buffalo chicken taco: Buffalo sauce with chicken tender and feta. Yes, just yes to this taco. - Margarita pitcher: Great for sharing - enough for four glasses! I've had stronger margaritas so not sure how much tequila was actually in it but these were pretty tasty. read more

Such a frustrating experience! Avoid if you want to enjoy your evening. We came here for a friends birthday. We waited 45 mins to be seated, which was fine. However it was not worth the wait. I'm not sure which was worse the service or the food! Our waitress had a huge attitude and was very rude. She didn't come around for our drink order for at least 20 mins. I had to ask the bartender if we had a waitress. Whenever we asked for something, like silverware, we were met with attitude. The nachos were a joke! The cheese dip was plain. Do yourself a favor and skip the headache. read more

Usually, I would say $3-4 a taco is a bit steep, but the price matches the quality. The tacos were really delicious. The fish taco was great, but ask for a side of coleslaw to put on it to make it even better. The trio sampler is really good. Worth the price! The salsa, while it taste roasted, also taste sweet and spicy. It was one of the better salsas we have had lately. The enchilada was nice and cheesy too! We would definitely go back! read more

This place is not your typical Mexican restaurant. The food is pretty pricey but also delicious. The margaritas are overpriced as well & were pretty weak. The place seems outdated and the booth my partner and I sat at, the seats were busted and uncomfortable. It could definitely use a remodel.

Some of the worst tacos I have ever had in my life. There was just so much wrong with them. They tasted overall just so bad. The traditional was so sweet and just had a gross taste and the fried chicken taco was maybe one of the dryest things I have ever eaten. The atmosphere is relaxed and the bar is good which would make this place a good spot for a drink downtown but do not get the food, you will regret it! They tried way too hard to make tacos special when they just needed to keep it traditional and authentic for good tacos. I will never be returning to this place! yuck! read more
