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

Cantina 76 - Chicken pesto and brisket tacos - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Cantina 76 seemed like the perfect spot for a late lunch with my cousin. The place was pretty dead. The decor inside is pretty retro. Our waitress was nice and attentive. I ordered an original taco and shrimp taco. My cousin ordered a shrimp and some type of bbq taco. They came out very quickly. One of my was wrong and I had to send it back but the new one came out quickly. The tacos were delicious. I also had a prickly pear margarita which was delicious The prices are great for the food and drinks! There's outdoor seating on the sides of building. They have corn hole set up in the front. I like the Christmas decorations, including a tree and deer on the roof. The parking lot is in the back. It's a little small so I could see it getting packed easily. Coleman Boulevard is so busy so it can be a little difficult to get out of the parking lot. read more

I went to Cantina 76 during Restaurant Week and it was outstanding! We enjoyed chips, guacamole and salsa. The chips were crispy and light-delicious. I had the Shrimp taco and can't remember what the other was. They were both excellent, and the best part was the margarita! I had a margarita with patron and it was delicious. I will definitely return!! 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

As far as the dozens of Mexican joints in Charleston go, Cantina 76 isn't super high up on the list. The chips and salsa were fine but not special. Both of my tacos were good and I would order them again but I wouldn't go out of my way for them. HOWEVER. Service was 5-star. We showed up at 930pm on a Friday night, not knowing that they closed at 10. They told us we were welcome to stay as long as we'd like. Our waiter was Corey and he was super attentive and friendly. My Kentucky mule was only $5, which is worth a repeat visit in my mind. We stayed until about 1030, eating our tacos and drinking our drinks. I'd be back for the drinks and the waitstaff. read more

So I've been here a couple times now and really feel that this joint deserves five stars. It has the whole package - great and consistent food and drinks, nice atmosphere, good service, and excellent options for children and pups. Food/Drink - I think Cantina has some of the best Mexican in the area and it's super cheap compared to other options out there. Most of their tacos are in the $3-4 dollar range and I like that they have a number of other items on the menu. I'm not one to deduct points for a place being expensive, but every time I come here I am amazed by how inexpensive it is, so worth noting. I've eaten the buffalo chicken taco, shrimp jalapeño taco, and fried fish taco. I've also had the enchiladas and dip platter. All really good, as are their margaritas. Atmosphere/kids/dogs - this place is a sneaky great spot to bring the kids / pups. The outdoor section is large and they have ample space for the kids to run around and play. I hesitate to write this up, but I think word is starting to spread around town about this perk. In sum, I think Cantina pushes all the right buttons for me, a father of a family of 4, but I would be equally enthusiastic to come here on a date or with friends. This is a new go-to spot for me around town. 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

This place has been here a while, I guess -- but its easy to miss when you drive by. It doesn't stand out or scream out "come and eat here!" That's too bad, because the food is really good! I finally went here with my wife and we each had two tacos (4 different ones in total) and they were all quite tasty. I usually feel bad when I have to pay for chips and salsa, and I felt bad here too... but $3 isn't terrible. But still... La Ha gives you all the chips and salsa you want to eat, for free. That's the only knock against this place. The prices on the tacos are very reasonable... around $3-3.50 each. The flavor is outstanding. I did a three-year-tour in Austin, Texas for work and spent many evenings eating tacos at the world famous Torchy's Tacos. Those were off the charts amazing. These were close... but I need to try the corn tortillas to get a better comparison. I'll definitely be back. read more

A huge difference from the previous owners! Cantina 76 is a spot you can't pass up. The people here are friendly, attentive and interested in your opinion. I ordered three, different tacos that were all full of flavor with every bite. The surf and turf came with a very tender steak and crispy shrimp that was excellent. Another was their Peruvian shrimp taco with these sweet and crispy shrimp and cole slaw. Perfect. The third was their traditional taco. It's better than most. We also asked for some fresh guacamole with chips. The chips are plentiful and warmed. A nice touch. They offer local beer as well as the common commercial ones. It's a full bar here. A welcomed addition to Coleman Boulevard. read more

Cantina 76 - Guacamole ... just made! - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

The Quesadilla was great one of the best I've ever had. The chips and guacamole needs some work and the chips were cold which isn't typical of a Mexican restaurant. Also, called in advance to get the happy hour specials and once I got there the hostess had told me the wrong specials what I wanted was only Monday and Wednesday. read more

Started going to Cantina 76 for Team Trivia which so happens to occur on Tuesday nights.. Taco night. What a cool spot right on Coleman Blvd. There is a large outdoor seating area also. It's quite retro and spacious in here and very busy for Trivia. The staff are super helpful and accommodating with our big needy group. You can't beat the prices and the tacos. They are very good. In fact our group ordered a concoction of different menu items and the general consensus was that they are all good. Now, of note, it's not Mexico, the food is Americanized which is fine. It's tasty and fun. Parking is a breeze as they have a big lot at the back of the restaurant. They have beer, margaritas tequilas etc. Lots of TV's. It's actually a great spot to hang out with family & friends. They do charge for chips & salsa. I don't know if that's a post Covid thing or not. Either way it's fine with me. I wish I could remember the name of our server, whom we meet every week. She is just great and makes our night even more enjoyable. read more

My roommate and I stopped here one day because it looked so cute on the outside, plus who doesn't love Mexican! We started with the Tres Hombres Sampler, choosing Guac, Salsa, and Queso. They were all delicious! We both got different types of Chicken and Shrimp Tacos, which were all amazing! The waitress was nice and checked on us often. The restaurant was so cute inside and out which great music playing! I hope to come back again soon read more

Okay, HOLY GUACAMOLE, they do not play with their Guac. Some of the best I've ever had. Soooo fresh and loaded with cilantro (my favorite- thank God it doesn't taste like soap to me). We ordered the taco salad, chimichanga (the size of my head), salsa and guacamole. Everything was delicious and all under $40! Such a great place and conveniently located in Mount Pleasant! Can't wait to go back read more

We picked this place after reading the review. It made our day as the food is really good. My wife had the veggie salad with salsa and lime cilantro dressing. The salsa is to die for!! One of my sons had the chicken nachos and he thought it was the best ever. The tacos are amazing especially the shrimp and chicken ones. Worth the drive if you are in Charleston read more

Cantina 76 - Peruvian shrimp taco - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Unbelievably bad. Fish tacos that were one shredded fried nugget with sliced jalapeños. My family tried this place again after a couple of years thinking it must be better after initial try. It's not. so bad. The management clearly does not care. read more

Such a free food at affordable places! Always a good fast casual place to go to to get some good Tex mee!

Great tacos, friendly staff. Feels like a neighborhood joint. Even though it was busy they made me feel welcome. Really loved the tacos

I love Cantina for the value they provide. I got two different tacos and chips and queso to go last night for around $11.00 with tax. The buffalo chicken taco is my absolute favorite- the feta and lettuce offset the heat so well. Simple but just perfect. The Peruvian shrimp is the other taco pictured- also delicious but the Buffalo Chicken is better! I love coming here for their specials as well with friends. The quesadilla can't be passed up for the anchovy mustard sauce that comes on top- a unique to this restaurant flair. Can't go wrong at this spot! read more

Cantina 76 - Buffalo chicken taco & Peruvian shrimp taco - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Staying at a nearby Air BnB so thought we gave it a try. Does not look like much from the outside, but inside is very nice with a large bar. We tried a few different tacos, fish, smoked pork, brisket, roasted chicken, each was nicely balanced and complex. We particularly liked the smoked pork and roasted chicken. Also the Devine Margarita was just that. This is definitely on our list to return to. read more

Definitely recommend. Fast service. Recommend getting the roasted chicken and it's great read more

Cantina 76 - Yummy so good! You must try. If you live near this place definitely recommend! - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

We sat outside and the workers moved another heat lamp over which was awesome. We had the tres hombres appetizer and it was delicious, and I got two tacos: veggie and peruvian shrimp. The shrimp one was delicious and the veggie one was decent. Portions were perfect and flavors were great. read more

My family and I stopped in Saturday evening and they were busy but not packed we were sat near other tables that had very attentive wait staff, unfortunately none of them appeared to be assigned to our table. We left after sitting at our table for 10 minutes with all wait staff ignoring us. We won't be back read more

It was okay. We had a long wait (almost an hour) but we didn't have reservations and it was a weekend so I don't fault them for that. Drinks were reasonably priced. I didn't like that they charged for every item (extra cheese, side sour cream). The tacos weren't the worst but they just weren't very flavorful. There's better options for Mexican in the area in my opinion. I would go back for a drink as the bar scene was fun, but would probably skip on eating here again. read more

Pretty good place for mexican food. We had a pickup order and everything was correct and done when they said it would be. Overall would recommend! read more

Poor quality food, poor Mexico. I hope they find a cook familiar with Mexican cooking. The only thing edible besides the chips was the white cheese (casa blanco). Waiter was eager but unable to please in that we had to order everything twice when we needed it. It was a feigned attempt to imitate Mexican food. Salsa was old, with soggy cilantro. No beans or rice included with the enchiladas. Don't even try the ground beef enchilada: the beef I wouldn't feed to my dog. It tasted like (assuming it was beef) imitation beef or watered down with something like flour. If there was a half-star rating I'd use it. Im not wasting any more time with this. read more

Best tacos in town!!!! Please support this local restaurant. Great margaritas and the desserts are great too! We need to support this restaurant because it's one of the best in Mt Pleasant and I've lived here 20+ years. read more

Absolutely the best teriyaki taco I've ever eaten Bursting with flavors Great service Highly recommend read more

Good fallback when Shem is packed. The monthly spicy chorizo tacos had 3-4 little chunks of meat, not worth it and dry. Queso is about the only thing I'd order here again. read more

Very good food and staff is very friendly. I would recommend whoever likes to eat Mexican food.

I enjoy going to Cantina 76, it is a comfortable neighborhood bar. The staff are friendly, the food is good and I love the house margarita. The guacamole is made fresh and the selection of tacos is great. The Peruvian shrimp taco is my wife's favorite. If you want to sit outside the patio is spacious and conveniently divided into several smaller areas. Jennifer took good care of us for happy hour also. read more

So so good! Even to go was amazing. I loved the chimichanga and the tres hombres. Tacos were great too pesto was my favorite.

We had a waitress named Melanie who was super nice and provided great service. Food was okay, Baja fish taco was fine, but nothing special. Was not a huge fan of their margarita, taste like water down mix. Do love their concept of picking which type of marg you want and then any tequila. read more

Cool atmosphere, good drinks. I had a few tacos but the one I can't recommend enough was the Peruvian Shrimp Taco. Super tasty. The size of the queso they give you for the chips is a little small . If you have more than 3 people I'd recommend two. Other than that everything was great. read more

Food is great and the service is fantastic! Madison always has a warm and welcoming smile.
