    Pollo Encremado
    Helen S.

    Really nice little restaurant. Service was very, very fast. They had sports on in the dining room when I got there, but they changed it to music. I would not have minded the sports. The food was really good. I had the pollo encremado. It was really quite lovely. I was a bit nervous because the first jalapeno was super hot, but the cream in the dish was enough to balance it out. If you follow my reviews, you know I will judge you on the refried beans. Great flavor here. Overall a good find for dinner. Enjoy!

    Visited La Cantina for the first time on a recent Saturday night. My friend and I arrived around 7:30pm and it was pretty empty. First impression was that the atmosphere could use a little improvement- it's wildly bright and starkly quiet, so really no ambiance at all. Perhaps it feels a little more comfy when the restaurant is full, but that sort of thing stands out in my opinion. Our server brought waters and gave us time to look over the menu. The time was needed because boy do they have tons of options! From tacos, burritos and fajitas, to molcajete, steak dishes, and an array of apps, they've got plenty to pick from. I was craving tacos and my friend recommended the quesabirras. She was right, they were super tasty. The beef birria had so much flavor and I loved the broth for dipping. Some restaurants tend to give those small tacos but these were sizable! I left full and satisfied in the food department. We also split a pitcher of lime margaritas. Can't say I enjoyed those, sadly. It was pretty stark green and really sweet. Personally, I'm not a fan of the pre-mixed margs, and unfortunately this was what that tasted like. Couldn't finish the pitcher. They do however, have huge marg towers I saw another table sharing, which is fun. Maybe the frozen version would be more to enjoy. I wouldn't jump to return here, but also not against giving a place a second chance. We shall see!

    I'm so so happy we found this place! The staff was so friendly and the restaurant is decorated with such a fun style. We stopped in for lunch and had amazing food and drinks. I had the Birria plate and my husband had the chimichangas and we were both very pleased with our meal! We will definitely come back soon.

    This past weekend some friends and I visited La Cantina and were very impressed. I'm not sure if they've made adjustments since some of these other reviews or what but we were all happy! First, I felt like they did a great job with the renovation. It doesn't give DQ vibes at all. And it was very clean (including the bathrooms which I'm sure they put a lot of work into since the previous owner). We really liked the chips and salsa, the salsa was a little on the runny side but had a lot of flavors and was just a tad spicy which was great (not overwhelming but too spicy for kids). We got a variety of dishes including tacos, enchiladas, flutas, chimichangas, and of course a kids chicken tender with smiley fries (big hit with the little ones). Over all we were all really happy with our meals. Definitely more options and more authentic than the other Mexican restaurant in Cedarburg. You can tell the staff knows what they're doing with their menu items and the tastiness of the food. Our server was great, and food was hot and ready very quickly. We will definitely be back. I only wish for their sake they had a more unique name as I worry people will inevitably end up going to the wrong restaurant.

    Had a reservation for 10 of us for a work party. Our server, Arturo, was wonderful! Love the location and design; very spacious! Margarita flight? Delicious, and you get your money's worth of tequila! I got pollo rancheros--queso, beans, rice, chicken, guacamole--everything was mouth-savory good! We live 25 min away, but we'll be back!

    We had heard good things so my boyfriend was excited to book us a reservation for date night. Our…read morewaiter was very attentive and friendly and gave us great recommendations (don't sleep on the salmon crack). We got the seafood boil and it was so much food for the two of us! We couldn't even finish our crab cakes. I loved all the options it came with and the corn and seasoning were delicious. We also ended up taking advantage of the fish counter and got swordfish steak for dinner the next day and we liked the crab cakes so much we got more to bake at home. This will be a staple for us whether it's dinner at the restaurant or grabbing something at the fish counter to cook at home, which we have done multiple times now!

    St Paul Fish Company somehow manages to serve high quality food in large quantities at reasonable…read moreprices. With a lot of variety and friendly service, this definitely is a great go-to place. My Mom and I came here for a light dinner and ordered the crab cake and mussels appetizers as our entrees. Thinking that wouldn't be enough food, we added the arugula beet salad. Everything came out pretty quickly, and the mussels portion and salad were enormous. Each dish was excellent. The mussels, a recommendation by our helpful server, were especially good - the mussels were cooked perfectly, without an unopened mussel in the bunch, and the white wine-garlic-fennel broth was seasoned well and had the classic flavor I was hoping for. The only miss was that the bread provided was only barely toasted and a little chewy. The salad was a wonderful surprise: dressed properly with a nice vinaigrette, it had toasted pepitas, creamy goat cheese, fennel, and beets that were not overly earthy. My Mom enjoyed her crab cakes, which had a bit of a spicy kick. I wanted a little dessert and chose their Door County cherry ice cream. I would strongly recommend leaving room for it. It had a fantastic, creamy texture, tasting homemade. The ice cream itself had a natural flavor of almonds with a hint of cherry, was studded with dark chocolate and cherry pieces, and topped with a cute fish-shaped cookie. One of the best ice creams I've had. Like the food portions, it came as three big scoops, so it's good for sharing. The atmosphere is casual and fun, though be prepared for a pretty high noise level when it's full - not from music, but from everyone having a great time with friends and family. I'd recommend getting a reservation, and they're conveniently on OpenTable.
