First time coming here. I am full Puerto Rican and my girlfriend and I fell in love with the environment. It made me feel like I was back at home or just anywhere close to home. Our server James was an awesome individual and very professional. Definitely will come here on a daily basis! read more

Muranda is the best server! She is attentive, lovely, and everything great in the world. Took care of us!

I'm so upset. I went in an hour early to get a table at this lovely restaurant. They assured me that I would receive the tables I requested and were so kind about it. When the time came, the tables weren't available. I was confused as to why as we went in person to reserve them an hour and a half early if they did not reserve them for us. The hostess was nothing but sassy to us and unwelcoming. This restaurant seemed so fun and great vibes, but she ruined it for us. When asking for the manager she smirked and told me the manager was unavailable. I am deeply upset with the service and I hoping that they will do something to make things better in the future. This is NOT appreciated. Please note, the waiters were nothing but nice but the hostess was pure evenly. Good food tho read more

I went to eat dinner here around 6:30 PM. There were maybe 3 other small groups of people who were also dining in. The service was extremely slow, but I think it was because there was only one server. I could tell that he was stressed, having to handle all the tables, but it did make for a more poor experience here. I think if there was even one other server there, it would have been better. I ordered a quesadilla with steak and beans, but when the food came out, I was given a quesadilla with chicken and rice -- which is the exact opposite of what I said. It was no biggie, because the food still tasted amazing, but I was still disappointed. The serving sizes are quite large as well which is great! Also, chips and salsa are not complimentary, which I just was not expecting. read more

The staff is amazing. A big part of the great atmosphere is how friendly the staff is. Professional, but very down to earth with their demeanor. The other night I drank a little too much, and thought I paid, but I really didn't give them enough time before leaving. (100% my fault). As soon as I found out, I called immediately and told them what had happened, and that I wanted to get my bill. They were so nice about it, and I really appreciated that. It's a 40 minute drive for me, but I respect the staff so much I wanted to come in person and pay. Along with the amazing staff, the place is very clean, and Miguel does a wonderful job at that. Lastly the food is very delicious, and I would suggest this place to anyone looking for a great place to go to. read more

If I could rate it 0 stars I would. I waited 2 hours for my table only to be told that it wasn't ready and that they couldn't tell me when it would be ready. Ruined my night! Never coming back... GOODBYE LA UNA! read more

The service was GREAT! The place looks really cool inside as well. To start got chips with queso and quac, it was fabulous. Filled me and my husband up before we even got our dinner. The dinner was also great, we got chicken enchiladas. The margarita was VERY strong. I don't recommend if you don't absolutely love the taste of tequila. read more

La Una Cantina - Our food - Mexican Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Great Margs and Tacos! Super fun atmosphere! Everyone was very nice and attentive. We would definitely go back.

Hannah k is the absolute best serve I have ever had. She is there every second to assist and deserved the best server in Indiana/USA ever.

Salsa is very good. Tacos are ok. The ingredients were not as freshly prepared as a food truck, but not horrible. The atmosphere was nice but the music was a little too loud. The margaritas seemed weak. Service was excellent. So I can see going back in the future read more

The worst customer service I have ever had. The host was so unbelievably rude to our family party of 7. Didn't even end up getting a table. Have worked in customer service for years and the way the host and employees handled the situation was so not okay. Even talked to the manager and he was no better. Will never be back to this place. read more

If you ate here in June-July, you should go get tested for covid. They had multiple people working who tested positive.

the only white blonde male server working around 10pm on march 7th was such a jerk. we waited ten minutes to get asked what we want for drinks. then, our food came out before our drinks when the bar clearly already had our drinks made but our server was too busy hitting his vape and standing around. after waiting 20 minutes after we had finished our food and someone came and cleaned it up, we decided to leave cash on the table with a $10 tip. then, while outside waiting for our uber, the server came out and started screaming at us because we ' didn't pay our tab ' we went inside with him to our table and there was the money, and a big tip. it was very rude and extremely unprofessional. i love la una but i am so disappointed in this type of behavior in the servers working. please do better. read more

My husband and I came here on a whim for date night because we thought it looked cute from the outside. We really liked it, and even liked it a little better than the other cantina downtown. Ambiance is great. I got 3 tacos and that was more than enough to eat, my husband got the enchiladas and loved it. We'll be back! read more

Great food, service, and atmosphere! I ordered the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce and my husband ordered three different tacos. We were both very satisfied with our orders and I have been craving their enchiladas ever since. Their salsa is so fresh and their margaritas are made from fresh ingredients. Service was wonderful also! read more

It was okay. The margaritas are really good I'll give them that. But the food was mediocre at best. Plus you have to pay for chips and salsa which just isn't something i'm used to. Portion size was small for a Mexican restaurant , and meals didn't come with the typical beans and rice. You'll have to order that as an extra side. The decor is great, but the food not so much. Not worth the price in my opinion....like at all. I'd recommend Viva Mas over this place. Its still pretty new and stands to be my favorite Mexican food in town. And honestly the decor is better there and so is the food! read more

They forgot to send me part of my order and the were consistently unreachable by phone. For the money I paid, the food wasn't that good. The quesadillas were unbelievably dry with the cheese on one side. They pretty much gave me raw and sour strawberries with my tres leches cake and I just liked one out of the three tacos I ordered. I saw high ratings by other customers and ordered from here. I was sorely disappointed. read more

This is hands down my favorite mexican place in town. The food is sooo good, very high quality! The employees are so kind. I think they gave me an extra side which is very generous. read more

Went to the new La Una Cantina on Tuesday. Food is ok- prices are a bit high for what you get. Tacos are per taco price like Social Cantina but they don't have as much variety as Social Cantina. Cheese dip was super expensive and just like the cheese dip you get at other Mexican restaurants (same with the guacamole). Margaritas were expensive as well and not very big. The food quality was mediocre at best- save your money and eat at Social Cantina. The best part of the whole meal was the atmosphere! read more

Absolutely amazing! We were in town with our daughter for an IU campus tour and my fraternity reunion. Happened across it while walking around campus bar/restaurant area. It looked really nice and decided to give it a try. There were about 10 people ahead of us (students) and we were let right in as parents without wait. Sat at the bar. Incredible vibe. The sound system is amazing which pumped fun music at a level that was enjoyable but could still carry on a conversation. Everything we had from four different types of margaritas to the chips and salsa and tacos Al pastor were incredible. We have nothing comparable in all of St. Louis area. The biggest thing that left an impression was how amazingly friendly and efficient the staff were. From the warm greeting at the door to the time we left by every staff member regardless of what they were doing. "Welcome, Enjoy, Thank You, Have a Great Evening..." So many niceties and smiles. We have to find more excuses to get back to Btown if even just to go back to La Una Cantina! read more

If you want to gag, get the sweet potato tacos. Otherwise, the chicken taquitos and queso are fire. Ask for easy or no ice on margarita pitchers because they scam you with a fraction of the beverage in the large pitcher. Good for large groups. Wait staff is nice too read more

This place is amazing! The food is not your typical "Mexican" food served in all other restaurants in the area. This is truly authentic. The Baja fish was to die for. I went on a Saturday night and came back on Sunday so my fiancée could try it. The carnitas street tacos were killer! The pork is tender and very tasty. Overall great addition to Bloomington's food scene! read more

very good food, waiter was nice, and the drinks are decently priced! will be back again

La Una is a great example of what Tacos and Tequila should be! Their tacos are delicious and very generous portion size for a "street taco" feel. The first time my wife and I came we got 4 tacos each and could not finish them all. The next time and the cause for this review I got 3 and she got 2 and were both very satisfied. They opened right before the COVID Crisis hit and I do not want that to affect this fantastic restaurant's success!! I promise you it's delicious and their Margaritas are fantastic! The decor is also very trendy, and the music adds to the experience and atmosphere. Our server James and the bartender Juan Carlos were both fantastic and we specifically asked them for their names so we could drop them here! I have literally left 0 reviews on here before but this place caused me to do so. I would easily place La Una above Bakersfield, The Salty Cowboy. La Una is comparable to Nada in downtown Indy (though a different feel), and Cholita in Broadripple. Thanks again guys and we will definitely be back soon! read more

Amazing selection of Tequila , especially having it on tap. But the food is sadly so so , and the blackened fish is overpriced for what it is. It's not even sea bass. read more

Our last meal out before quarantining began was great. I really enjoyed the tacos. I had Mole and al Pasteur. The restaurant was nearly empty as people had already begun to social distance. Our waiter appropriately stood back but was attentive and helpful with choices. The owner checked in with us. He lived in Mexico to study the cusiune. Liked the new decor. The food seemed authentic to this East Coast girl not TexMex. Enjoyed the margaritas. The salsa and chips are very good. Hint: 2-3 tacos will fill you up so price wise, I thought it was reasonable. The chef was a pastry chef and told us that the desserts were very good but we were too full to try anything. Overall, just a good time (if you are not looking for a Taco Bell style meal). read more

Idk about the bar but the food was aweful. I had chicken enchalates that were sweet in a really wierd way. They also charge for chips and salsa which is pretty dumb. read more

The service and food were both good. My friend ordered a pineapple margarita and it came out as a regular margarita, they remade it and let her keep the original. Really cool atmosphere as well! read more

i waited for more than an hour and a half. they seated at least 3 groups before me and were horrible at communicating. worst service ever. do not go here when u want margs on a game day. they're don't care if you're nice. but if you flirt and bribe them they might let you in early. complete crap. bad la una. booooo read more
