Food options are wide and tasty. Portions are large and take home boxes are available. Wait staff - attentive and interactive. Funny; menu knowledgeable; and a positive reflection on the Cantina 76 brand. Ambiance is quiet. Piped in sound track is wonderful; positive mode making; and a conversation starter. This is a must return to location. read more

we were a group of 10. it took awhile for us to get our beverages, chips and salsa. this is certainly not customary for a Mexican restaurant. my beer came in a can, no accompanying glass. a bad indicator. blame that one on the bartender. we order. it took close to an hour for our dinner to arrive. the place and kitchen was not that busy. my tacos were room temp. they had been sitting for awhile. I was darn hungry by this time. to be fair, our server was hustling around trying to make it happen. she just didnt get good support from the bar and kitchen. Will we go back? unlikely, there are too many quality Mexican places around read more

My first time visiting this spot and it was not a disappointment. The staff were very friendly and our waitress was great! She was very attentive and gave us great service. The food was delicious! I recommended the street corn, it is off the cob which was a plus. I asked for a mocktail and they gave me their signature mocktail. There was live music outside on the patio. There was indoor seating available at a table or at the bar as well as outdoor patio seating. There were accessible restrooms available as well as on site parking with handicap parking available. read more

The food here is horrible and overpriced. I had the taco salad with steak, and I got like 2 tablespoons of GROUND steak on top of lettuce in a stale tasting taco shell. On top of that instead of charging +$2 extra they charged me +$3 extra for the steak. I was not full at all after eating this meal, and I walked there from my Air BnB so I had their Mexican brownie to add to my meal which was also not that great, didn't understand why it was called a "Mexican brownie". Daylight robbery honestly; my suggestion is to lower your prices or make better portions for your food. read more

Went to grab food late Friday with my son and we sat on the patio! It was wonderful. There was live music and the patio lights were on to create a beautiful space. The restaurant is very clean and we had excellent service. My son did a cheese quesadilla and tater tots with cheese over them. The queso and chips is fantastic. Our friends got the steak nachos. I got a steak quesadilla. My husband got three tacos, fried chicken, Peruvian shrimp, and bbq brisket. He loved them all! We also ordered house margs for happy hour read more

You are a Mexican restaurant and you don't offer chips and salsa for the table gratis - It makes me question the experience and be more critical. I was recently in Mexico City where they took pride in the crafted salsas and chips offered. It is also a standard. I'll stop being fixated on this. The service was fine, but nothing special. Eager at first to take our order while our two couples looked at the menu. After we were served our meals, we didn't really see him until the bill, and we would have had more drinks. We all had different tacos for dinner. I search the world for great tacos with quests that have taken me across Texas, California and Mexico. The tacos were very flavorful with nicely crafted sauces. The fish tacos with roasted poblano tartar sauce was very well done. The blackened shrimp tacos with cotija cheese, pico de gallo, and lime crema was good, but the shrimp weren't blackened and only 3 shrimp left me wanting more. Cantina left me wanting more. The value component is the challenge - $5.50 for one taco is more than you pay in many places (not comparing to a very average) for a small portion. I don't know if I would rush back to Cantina 76. read more

Cantina 76 - Blackened shrimp and fish tacos - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

We started with the delicious Carolina Margarita AND while supplies last, you get to keep the themes glass from this tasty beverage! The Bruschetta grilled chicken taco on special Was probably my favorite and super delish-- they should consider adding that to the menu! The nachos were good and hit the spot for our party of 3! We were recommended the steak and while sparse atop the mountain of nachos, it was tasty and tender... They didn't disappoint with the other fresh toppings, diced Ruby tomatoes, thinly shredded lettuce and ooey gooey queso! Very much enjoyed the enchiladas and option of 3 sauces to top them - the queso and red beef chili was the choice this time but will return to try the salsa Verde! We opted for shredded chicken and cheese for the inside, but other options were shrimp, beef or veggies. The corn tortillas were great in this format. However, they were a little too dry in the normal taco version. The shrimp weren't juicy and a little overcooked and the brisket was too dry as well for my taste. Shout out to the fun vibes Cantina 76 brought and tne service from Walker! Stars: From Good, Better to Best-- The shredded chicken, steak and grilled chicken were the clear winners in the meat realm. Carolina Margarita for the WIN! read more

Our service was off the charts!we asked for the name of our server which was a girl named jillian and she nailed it! was quick and easy and made our stay very great!definitely will be returning. read more

We had been to Cantina 76 a few times, and I would say that this year was a let down. Although the staff were great and friendly, the food was different from our past experiences. The appetizer of the salsa, queso, and guacamole were great to start. We had no complaints on our cocktails, which tasted really good, but our tacos weren't what we expected them to be. We've always tried to get various ones, and they're okay for the price. I liked the chicken teriyaki, a little skimp on the chicken that was on it, and the fish taco came with jalapeños that gave it a good kick. The chicken ones were good as well, but the brisket was disappointingly dry. The enchiladas were the same; they were covered in good queso, but the chicken filling was dry. We expected more of the surf'n'turf taco, but it was too salty for our taste. We really expected more of Cantina and hope they improve in the future. read more

Great place to stop for tacos and margaritas! I will definitely making this a regular stop. They have a great happy hour! Staff was so friendly! read more

Zero. Go next-door to Taco Bell and you're much better off. Traditional ground beef taco taste like flavorless, minced dog food, and the brisket taco literally felt like I bit into sticks/mulch multiple times . No chips nachos and place looks and feels dirty. Spicy margs were tequila and jalepeno. I like tequila and drink it straight, but that wasn't a margarita. I like a dive place and eats as much as anyone, but when well executed. This was the worse Mexican food I've had in probably 10 years. How they have survived in Mt Pleasant on Coleman Blvd is a miracle. Thank read more

Cantina 76 - Margaritas are amazing! Highly recommend food and drinks - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

I visited for a quick lunch break with a friend while out Christmas shopping. For a Friday afternoon, it wasn't busy and we were seated promptly. There was plenty on the menu to choose from. We started with the Trio Sampler which included guac, salsa, and queso. Each of them were tasty. For our main dish, we ordered tacos and chicken tortilla soup because it was one of the coldest day of the year. The tacos are reasonably priced and you can mix and match as you choose. The soup was perfect for the day and warmed us up inside. We left full and satisfied. The place is very large and roomy. They have a nice size bar area and an equally large patio area, which I'm sure is hopping during the warmer months. The hostess, waitress, and manager were all very nice and attentive. They came over often to check on us and made sure we had what we needed. Parking is in the rear and it is plentiful. I'm looking forward to dining here again in the near future. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite. We were going to just get an app but since we decided to get chips and salsa, we changed our mind and got tacos. I got the bbq pulled pork which had a sweet chipotle type bbq. The flavors were great and the pico was an amazing touch. However the surf and turf taco was awesome. The shrimp was coated in a sweet chili sauce and the flavors all blended perfectly. I would get again in a second. Both myself and my sister loved the strawberry basil margarita. It was very refreshing. There was only one other table there besides us. Our server was attentive and sweet. She also offered many suggestions. Can't wait to go back and try more options. They also have a lot for gluten free folks and it's all appropriately labeled. read more

We picked this mexican food place at random. It was a kind of undecorated not appealing bar and restaurant. Noticed every item was ala cart; no sides or additions. Suprised even the traditional chips and salsa were not free. Free refills on chips, but the salsa was perhaps only 4-5 ounces. It was very good and tasty. We first ordered margaritas. They both tasted like like watery lime flavor without the flavor of tequila. These were very disappointing. I ordered 2 tacos; Cod and blacken shrimp. My wife the taco salad. I enjoyed the Cod taco. The shrimp didn't taste blacken or very good. It seemed very bland. The salad was also kind of bland and not especially outstanding. It was close to closing time on a Sunday. This may have affected what we got. The server was both pleasant and very efficient. I would not recommend this resteraunt. Taco Bell was next door.... read more

My family came here on our vacation (it was a 5 minute walk from our Airbnb), but unfortunately I was not impressed. The Tres Hombres (salsa, queso, guac) was definitely the best thing we got. However, the chips were hit or miss. Some had a crunch, but others were quite chewy. I ordered The Jalapeño Margarita and it was not at all spicy. I got the Blackened Shrimp Taco and Fried Chicken Taco. They were ok, but not much flavor even with their variety of sauces and topping. read more

I had surprise takeout brought to me so I didn't get to check the place out or even choose my own menu items. I remember when it was The Americano and it was pretty damn cool so I'm guessing it's only been improved upon. After trying the food, I'm definitely looking forward to coming in for the full experience. The tacos are far from traditional street tacos or even tex mex. I would compare them more to the unique combinations that taco boy offers. Of the three I had, I think the Chicken Teriyaki with feta was my favorite. Followed by the buffalo chicken, and then the Traditional. We also shared the quesadilla which would easily be a meal on its own. It was stuffed with chicken, cheese, and pico plus had BBQ sauce which was surprising but tasty. read more

Food is amazing, drinks are on point and our server Avery was on top of it. I tried 4 different tocos and each one was unique and delicious. Avery did an amazing job with suggestions and continued to make sure we had everything we needed. I only ordered two tacos at first but could help ordering another two to try. Definitely a must try! read more

This was an unexpected find our first time in the area from the outside of the building. It didn't look like much, but the food is excellent. Everything felt like it was made right then for us very fresh, the guacamole was pure avocado with cilantro, and something else it was just great. The tacos are delicious they're just the right size. Great prices . Oh and ask for Sunni- sweet waitress and the manager Carson came over too The ingredients are incredible. The choices are amazing, we just think it's the best we've had anywhere. They make their salsa and guacamole every morning read more

Solid place. I really enjoyed the appearance and vibe of the restaurant. If it's not too hot, sitting outside is nice. The food was outstanding, as well as the service. They had a margarita deal going on, and a special on the tacos that I got. Would definitely go back. Only complaint was that the floor was pretty gross and there were crumbs and food everywhere. read more

I feel bad they always seem to be mostly empty inside but the food is great! Their menu is also fairly large for whatever your looking for. The interior is very cute, sometimes a bit cold though. I actually prefer to sit outside even if its on a busy road. Their spicy margs are great and I always go for the burritos. Great portions you never leave still hungry. I definitly like this place better than Santis and Taco Boy for sure. The staff are nice and fairly on top of it. They have a bar as well. A small gravel parking lot is just behind the restaurant in between the venue and Parrot's Skate Shop. read more

Love Jennifer at the bar. She takes really good care of you and is always smiling. That being said the whole staff rocks. The food is always great never had a problem.

After falling in love with the Cantina of Columbia, I was beyond excited to see this one when visiting SC this weekend for a wedding. To begin, check out the variety of margaritas. There is truly something for every flavor palette but my personal favs are the strawberry basil and prickly pear. Next, the apps. You can't go wrong with the trio sampler of fresh salsa, guac and queso. Their guac is one of my favorites - but the salsa is also sneaky fav that would be overlooked at most other places. Finally, the tacos. Oh the tacos. There are tons of options ranging from $3-$4.50 each, along with rotating speciality ones. I recommend getting two, three if you're very hungry and not getting an app. I've never had a bad option but I tend to always include at least one Peruvian shrimp. The ingredients are always fresh and the sauces are unique and delicious. read more

Had a great experience at Cantina 76. We sat outside near a space heater and enjoyed the restaurant week menu. Despite the restaurant being busy, we received our orders quickly. Between my husband and I, we ordered the Peruvian shrimp taco, Buffalo chicken taco, brisket taco, queso, guacamole , margarita, and cheesecake chimichanga. The standout taco was the Peruvian shrimp taco. Also thought the margarita was awesome. I would return! read more

Went over to Cantina 76 last night for Tacoooo Tuuuesdayyyy! We sat indoors at a booth in a chill, retro-themed environment. The outdoor seating looked pretty cool as well and probably the place to sit when the weather is right! We started off with a Dos Equis on draft and a Prickly Pear Margarita. I highly recommend trying the Margarita if you're feeling a cocktail. For appetizers, we got two orders of corn poppers - garnished with tiny peppers and chipotle. All 6 tacos we ordered were appetizing and very filling. My favorite were definitely the Peruvian Shrimp and Jalapeño shrimp tacos. I also got tacos with steak that were decent but I don't think I would order them if I came back. The service was PHENOMENAL and our orders came out swiftly! Other notes: - parking is hassle-free, convenient. - architecture of building is pretty cool. - bathrooms are well lit, private, and clean. read more

Fun decor, service was fine. Menu was limited. They were out of 1 of the specials and it was only 5:30. Fish taco was cold in the middle. Shrimp taco was lukewarm. Salsa was awesome but not enough to redeem the rest of the meal. read more

The wait was far longer than the promised "few minutes". Once inside they seemed unaware that they had paged us. They seemed severely understaffed. The food, once it arrived after a long wait was very good. It's a good value but the atmosphere and service leave a lot to de desired. read more

I went to cantina 76 to celebrate a birthday party on a Thursday night. They have a large parking lot in the back but it was packed and had to wait a bit for Someone to leave. One of my friends ended up parking on the street because the lot was full. We were 8 people in our party and got a table fairly fast. The decorations are nice, but for some reason the place was extremely noisy. I had to speak very load and could barely hear the people in front of me , so it was not very easy to have a conversation, it was not even background music, but random chatter from other tables. Weird acoustics I guess? We started with the "tres hombres" appetizer which is chips and salsa/guac/ queso. The queso and guac were good, the salsa was meh. I kind of get annoyed when chips and salsa are not free, but that is a rant for another review. For food I had one buffalo chicken taco and one green enchilada. Non of them were impressive. The green salsa had too much cilantro and it overpowered the whole dish. The taco came on a store bought flour tortilla.. i am of the mind that everything is better in a taco and i love to try non traditional toppings, but probably should have gone for a different one. The margaritas were good i had the strawberry one and I was able to choose my tequila, which probably doesn't make the difference when all you can taste is the added sugar. Lol . I'm not dying to go back and probably won't . Full disclosure: I grew up in Mexico and I am very critical of bad Mexican food, just because I can. read more

Easy going new-age Mexican fusion restaurant. Casual dinning with a nice happy hour that changes daily. I got the queso, salsa, guac and chips to start, which is nice to fill up on chips before any main course. It's kinda my thing at Mexican restaurants. A nice selection of unique fresh style tacos. The place does remind of Mex1 in West Ashley or a smaller Taco Boy. The service was fast and friendly at the bar. The place has a great outdoor space for seating and watching the traffic go by. If you miss the turn-off, you may end up at Taco Bell next door. This must be the Mexican food district in Mt P. (Parking around back) read more

My wife and I have wanted to try this place for awhile and finally went last night with some friends. Friday's they have $2.50 corona. Almost all of us had tacos and also we got chips and salsa as a starter. The food was really good, I thought their corn tortillas were really good. The brisket taco was phenomenal! My wife got chicken teriyaki (highly recommend). The chicken pesto left a lot to be desired. The smoked pork was a solid choice though! The tacos are decently stuffed. I have a moderate-to-large appetite and the 3 tacos definitely weren't enough. If you get the chicken tacos just know that the chicken is one singular piece, didn't bother me much but my wife who eats tiny bites (not unlike a child) was not a fan. Covid: they have a hand sanitizer station at the hostess stand. All the employees wore masks and they sanitized between guests. Terrific job Service was good - nothing glaring and nothing superb. Overall, we enjoyed it and will definitely be back. (Lost one star for charging for chips and salsa. Sorry, that's always my standard for Mexican restaurants!) read more
