The food is so good! The salsa is mild (which is a nice surprise), the chips are perfectly thin, the queso was great! We had the torta (it's HUGE) and street tacos. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

This restaurant was chosen due to its proximity to our location at the time, and it was open late. We visited on a weekend night, and the dining room wasn't that busy. There were more pickup orders than anything. Good food, okay service. Yelp limits how many photos are posted with this review, but there should be 25 photos. read more

Roaches all over the place. For some reason the queso is 10 dollars for like 4oz of queso. It's just melted cheese, it's nothing special. Honestly I wish I could rate 0 stars read more

Was in town to do business and looked up on yelp a location for lunch. I found this spot and was immediately drawn in by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. This place was packed almost every table was full. We were immediately greeted, seated and brought chips, salsa and our drink order was taken. I ordered the pork tamales with rice and beans and my other party ordered a chicken quesadilla. Our server was the owner and he brought us another round of chips salsa and topped off our water and ice tea. Then our meal arrived shortly afterwards. The pork tamales were freshly made and full of lightly seasoned pork drizzled with red sauce. So good. The rice was very light with a hint of garlic and chicken broth flavoring. It was fluffy and seasoned perfectly. Refried beans were very thin not the heavy kind with a white cheese melted over them. This plate was exceptional and I would definitely order again. After briefly chatting again with the owner I let him know that I we were regulars at the Wichita Falls location near shepherds Air Force Base, which happened to be where his brother was working. We had no idea they had this location in Lawton Oklahoma. We will definitely be back next time we are through on business. These are some hard-working individuals at both locations. You will not be disappointed. The food is exceptional. It's probably some of the best Mexican food I have had the pleasure of eating in years. read more

Food was amazing and margaritas were too! I would definitely go again if stayed longer.

Found this place while in Lawton and wanted to try a different Mexican restaurant. It's located on the north side of the Lawton Mall. We arrived around 6:30pm and there wasn't much people there, should've be our first clue but we went anyways. Wife and I were quickly seated, chips and salsa was brought out promptly. Chips are crisp but we both didn't care for the salsa as it was more of a sweet flavored without any kick. The wife ordered the steak quesadillas which had plenty of meat in them but the cheese wasn't too our liking. I had the chicken soup / Caldo De Pollo, had good flavor with plenty of shredded chicken, zucchini, carrots and potatoes and some corn. It was served with rice, which was moist and delicious. Service was slow as well. Just not for us but they succeed. read more

La Grand Cantina - Chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Lawton, Oklahoma

First time, I have a longstanding rule that I always give a place a second chance if I don't care much for it the first time. Some things that need to be fixed: - Salsa served with the very nice chips (not greasy, but fresh and crispy) has a strange fruitiness about it and no heat. Kind of bland. - Tamales de puerco had a different sort of red sauce, not the typical Tex-Mex chili. A nice change. However, the sauce was rather bland. That's a good thing because the tamales were not, you can taste the pork. Rice was salty. - Another in the party had sopes which had a chicken and tomato and lettuce topping. More like a tostada. Bland. No heat. Overall, the menu items could use a bit more heat or seasoning but not so much that it gets away from true Mexican cooking. We will give this place another try, cuz maybe this was just an off day. read more

Service was very good, ambiance is authentic Mexican restaurant. Had grilled chicken burrito and a margarita. Burrito was very tasty and the margarita was delicious and well prepared. read more

La Grand Cantina - Chicken burrito - Mexican Near Me - Lawton, Oklahoma

I am from Texas. As a Mexican who is constantly in Oklahoma due to my partner being here, I have tried so many different Mexican restaurants from Lawton to OKC to try and get my fix and each place has failed...... until La Grand Cantina. It's a tucked away spot in a seemingly shut down mall, but once you find it.... Oh let me tell you it is worth the trip. Reasonably priced food. Good drinks. Seems like they have a pretty great happy hour as well. I ordered Arroz con Pollo, absolutely delicious. My partner got chicken fajitas, he devoured them. The appetizer, which was Queso, also so good. Our server, Victor, was very kind and responsive as well. I cannot tell you how much of a relief it is to find food this good in such a small town. If you're looking for some great comfort Mexican food, give this place a shot. Only thing I will say is that they might need to hire more people soon with food this good! The phone did not eat first so I do not have any good photos unfortunately. read more

La Grand Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Lawton, Oklahoma

Very disappointed. Caught server -Maria adding an extra tip 28% to my credit card above the cash tip I left. I confronted them on 2 separate occasions , and they said they would refund. But have not. I dislike that I will not be able to go there anymore. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The food and the service was great!! We had the carne asada dinner plate, arroz de pollo and some margaritas. The server was very nice. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect when I drove up to a half dead mall and saw my destination was located inside the sad structure but this was a great stop and I highly recommend. The restaurant is in the small side but they have bar seating and mix of tables/ booths. What sticks out the most is how kind everybody is. I had the absolute best server (Leo) who has the perfect personality for this job and when I ordered my skinny margarita, the bartender himself, delivered it and ensured I was happy with the beverage as there is no premade mix and it's a by hand beverage. The drink was perfection, but had I not liked it, the bartender was postured to make any needed corrections, what a pro move. You receive complementary chips and salsa upon arrival, the chips are nice and light and the salsa is mild and tasty. I ordered several things from the side dish menu to include some thing I've never had before which is an avocado enchilada, and it was surprisingly delicious. The green sauce on top and the flavor combo is spot on. I I got the shredded chicken taquito as well, the taquitos are not like the dime, circumference taquitos you might be thinking of, these are almost oval, in shape are packed with tons of moist meat, I would definitely make this a meal combo in the future, and add some sour cream and guac on the side. My least favorite was the ceviche tostada. The contents would have done well in a shrimp cocktail but lacked the flavor/crunch/ and freshness of a ceviche but hey, it is Oklahoma. I really enjoyed this meal, the atmosphere, and margarita. Recommend a stop in! read more

Delicious food and great service, what more can you ask for? Every time I come to town to visit family we usually choose Mexican food for at least one meal out, so I've visited the various restaurants with mixed results. My brother spoke highly of La Grand Cantina and he wasn't wrong. Great meal and service, I'm hoping to get a chance to eat there one more time before flying back home. read more

We've eaten here twice because we were in town for high school baseball. Both times the food and service was very good! Neat place!

This review will CHANGE bc I usually like leaving my actual review until I've tried an establishment 3x times and with a different dish every time. But for now, I'll leave this. PROS: - Clean - Owners were amazing and helpful with the menu and what they recommend to try if it was your first time. - Our waitress (one of the owners and frm what she said several items on the menu is from her own recipe or style of cooking) was amazing and kind. - Quality and quantity of food was awesome and tasteful. - Menu was very organized and easy to read as well as the service to identify what is what if you needed more info on the menu and it's items. - Spanish speaking friendly CONS: - Menudo is only made during the weekend and NO FRIDAY isn't the start of the weekend you'll have to wait for Sabado (Saturday)!! I wanted to try theirs and it was perfect weather kind of day to try . But I will come thru some weekend to try it out bc my waitress said she'll make it herself!!?? - Tables were to narrow and tight, they packed the area with a lot of seating arrangements that gives you very little elbow, knees, and dish room. read more

Ate here for the first time and we quickly found a good Mexican restaurant in Lawton. Great food and Top Shelf Margaritas! We will be back read more

I had the tamales they were very good, the salsa was good. The Sopapilla were excellent! the best I have had in Lawton.

Came here the day after they opened. We actually didn't know they were open yet till we walked through the door and smelled the food. We were seated immediately with our drinks taken right away. Our server was superb. She was very friendly and extremely helpful, helping my wife find something to eat. The menu was a little light on options but our server said as business picks up the menu would expand. The salsa was a little bland but the chips were very good. I ordered the enchiladas con salsa Verde. Very good, great taste along with the rice and beans. I can't wait to see what else happens to the menu and I am definitely going back. Give it a try read more

Our waiter was friendly and kept an eye on us through the entire meal. Hubby had the chile relleno with beef and I had a chile relleno and chicken tamale. The food was delicious. Wish this place was closer. Highly recommend this place. read more

Food and service is awesome! This is a new, family owned business and it is clear that the owners take great pride in their food quality and their customer service. I have taken friends here on multiple occasions and everyone agrees that we are treated like family. It is so difficult to run a successful restaurant, and I hope for La Gran Cantina's continued success. I am confident that once you've tried their meals, you will come back for more. read more

First time there. The food was hot and delicious. It's definitely a hidden gem. It's our new spot for Mexican food. The salsa was soo good, the chimichanga was packed with tender chicken, the chile rellenos were packed with cheese. It's going to be our new favorite Mexican spot from now on. Must try!! read more

The food is just fabulous and so delicious the atmosphere is comfortable and quiet during lunch it's clean and the staff is very wonderful if I could give it 100 stars I would read more

A nice atmosphere, cool bar area to watch the game and great service. We started with queso Al Horno and chicken Gorditas good combo and wonderful flavor but filling for three people. We had three entrees: Taco authentic with shredded cheek like street tacos with cilantro, onion & lime. Great texture and portions, the corn tortillas were fresh and just the right onion-cilantro ratio to beef. Tamales with red chili sauce, I liked that it's NOT can Hormel beef chili with cheddar cheese. It was RED chili sauce and white shredded cheese(not a whole lot of cheese-good thing). Pork was good but the meza was thick. Meza had good flavor the ratio to pork wasn't to my liking. Carane Asada nice plate presentation, came with flour tortillas that were fresh. Drizzled with chimichurri and sour cream. It was good, not the usual way I am use to it being served, still good! OH chips and salsa came first and we ALL loved the salsa. Chips seemed to be made in house and tasted perfect, not too thick and not too thin, just right! Until next time, enjoy your day! read more

Hidden gem in Lawton. Best Mexican food in the city, I'd go back every time I want Mexican. Good drinks as well and good service

The best Mexican restaurant in the city! I have tried the other restaurant that claim "Mexican food" and La Gran Cantina is authentic. I highly recommend it. Food is delicious and the customer service is at its best. read more

La Grand Cantina has some very nice ambiance with Mexican music playing throughout the restaurant. In addition to that the service was pretty good, mannered with multiple servers coming up and asking if we needed anything. However the food left an ill taste in my mouth and I probably won't be eating there again. read more

Best Mexican restaurant in the area. Definitely would recommend to anyone that is looking for a delicious bite

After a long trip to Oklahoma from Tennessee we decided to eat here because it was so close to the hotel. The restaurant was kind of hard to find but found inside the mall. The lighting was so soothing and nice. The food was phenomenal, I had the 2 chili reallanos and it was delicious. The service was amazing, the server didn't hover or try and talk to us when she didn't have to which is what we prefer. She kept our drinks full. The only reason this is a four star review is because they didn't have alcohol which wasn't their fault, our beautiful server said it was due to a permit issue. It was absolutely amazing, quiet, great music, not busy at all. If I'm ever back in Oklahoma (I won't be) this is where I'll be eating. read more
