    Happy Hour Menu
    Jerome B.

    I haven't been to this restaurant since it changed from Limericks Tavern to Semillas Cantina. Coming in to the restaurant i noticed that the lights were still really dim, a little hard to see inside. It took a couple minutes for someone to come for us to be sat. There were no host/hostess at the stand. We decided to sit towards the back where they had a large screen up with the football game on. We were there for the happy hour because the prices looked decent and were excited for some food items. The first two items on the menu which we wanted, Elotes and Chicharron, were all out. A little disappointing to be honest. We ended up ordering a few margaritas, michelada, street tacos, tostada ceviche, calamares, taquitos and the chimichanga. Drinks were brought out sporadically and then a couple were forgotten. Actually, we asked the server and she stated she sees the order on her electronic pad, but the ticket for some reason didn't print. I guess it only printed 1/2 the order? It was a little frustrating through we had wait a bit for our server to come back around to let them know that we were still missing drinks. A few minutes passed and for some reason the bartender had to come to our table and confirm which drinks we were missing. It was very disorganized. Finally, food started to come out starting with the calamares.. and it was totally disappointing. Itlooked and tasted like it was the leftover crumbs at the bottom of whatever was fried before hand. The ceviche we ordered was fish, and it was super fishy. We ate 1/2 of one of the 4 we got. The chimichanga was full of beans.. like it must have been filled extra to make it look full because that was all we tasted with every bite. Fortunately, the tacos were decent and the taquitos tasted good, just the portion of the taquitos were so small. The same size tortilla was used as the street tacos. Usually, the size is larger, but maybe thats only in other restaurants I've eaten at? After receiving the check, we noticed there was an error in pricing. The calamares was showing up regular price rather than the happy hour price. On top of that, we were automatically charged 20% gratuity, which they didn't really earn in my opinion. I originally asked for a table for 6, only 5 of us were able to make it. If that was me serving, I would've not have included the gratuity since that last person didn't stay. In the end, my experience wasn't great nor even good. Unfortunately, it was a $150 error and I won't be returning here as there are many other places in Chino Hills that offer better food and better service.

    Taco tour

    I've been here a couple of times now and the food has been mid each time. The chips and salsa are just ok, not the best or worst. I got the taco tour and the tacos were super dry and flavorless. I had to ask for consommé for the birria taco, I ended up dipping all the tacos in it to get some flavor and moisture into them. I thought I'd give it another chance just in case it was a fluke, but I probably won't end up coming here again. There are so many other good Mexican restaurants I'd rather go to.

    Great place for families and gatherings. Kinda weird in evenings as businesses change in the plaza.

    quaint location. parking is ample. Colorful and settled in a moderately busy street. at first impressions, looks like a fun and lively place. yet, the mood was consistently bland with a few upbeat trends. Drinks were tasty and strong , food was middle of the road taste. The ambiance was best served with the music and dj in the foreground. available pool.table, even though during my 2 hr stay, no one even came close to using it. The decor largely based on a 80s to 90s club , neon lights with colorful demeanor. overall, the place has tv for sports viewing, high tables and easy access facilities. the service was kind and quick and the experience was considered a comfortable one. overall, it lacked personality and it lacked charisma. would I return? possibly, for a quick get together, a quick date or just to grab a drink. definitely not a family location, more towards a adult hang out and meet up place. 3.5 stars to 3.9 .

    Enchiladas Souiza
    Claudia S.

    Gave it a try and it was ok. Nothings changed inside the restaurant, looks just like the previous restaurant that occupied that space. I ordered the enchiladas Souza and they were good. The refried beans and rice weren't special, so go a la carte.

    Potato taquitos with rotten cabbage

    Do not come and eat at this place. I ordered beef taquitos and they didn't have any, so I ordered the potato taquitos and they were green with a lot of oil coming out after each bite. The cabbage was old and brown. My friend ordered the shrimp ceviche and it came out pink. The server had stated they hadn't gone food shooing since Dec 30 due to the new year. Their food menu is trash.

    Ambiance: There is plenty of room inside and the staff is friendly. Love the atmosphere inside. Taste test: I loved the soup, more so than the chicken enchiladas. They put a lot of meat in the enchiladas. There is not a lot of choice for vegetarians unless you like mushrooms. They don't provide chips and salsa unless you order it. It's nice to have a Mexican restaurant close to home and I hope to try more dishes.

    Ordered the albondiga soup to split with my kids, there were no potatoes and one slice of carrot. Literally :/ . I wouldn't order this soup again .

    I used to love coming to this location back when it was Limericks. It was a fun local spot to get drinks and dance with friends. Now that it's Semillas Cantina it seems a little lost in what it's trying to be. The name Cantina means it's more like a restaurant and bar combo. From the experience though, it reads as a primarily a sit down establishment meant to have a club-like atmosphere. There's the long bar in the middle of the building with a di booth at the back wall facing the restaurant with tables taking up a majority of the floor space. The music is SO loud and the place is EMPTY. It doesn't make sense to the have music be so loud when most of your patrons are sitting down to eat. There's no room to hold conversation in the main area. It was really awkward to try and talk with the rest of the dinner party over the music. The waitress was nice and let us know what drinks were most popular and recommended her favorites. They l gave us complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was flavorful without being super spicy. I'm not sure what brand of chips they use but they were great, not super salty. We didn't try any of the food as we thought it would be more of bar-like experience based on the name and the music coming from the outside. It did take a while to get our drinks, which was a little annoying since the place was incredibly empty and they had two people tending the bar. The drinks were good. I tried the cucumber margarita and ordered it with no spice, but it came to the table with a chili rim. I didn't send it back as it came with a straw so it wasn't ultimately a big deal. My friends ordered the other margarita flavors and also said they were good. My favorite thing is the aesthetic of the restaurant. I love the name and the hand painted art they have on the walls. However, that's the only thing I really enjoyed. The rest of my experience was average. I don't really see myself coming back any time soon.

    These are there chicken & beef taquitos delicious

We were initially seated at a reserved table, but she took care of us and made sure we were able to get settled, which we really appreciated. The beer was cold, the service was friendly, and overall the vibe here was great. The only thing I'd suggest is being a little more generous with the sauce on the wings. The Asian Zing wings were pretty dry and could've used more flavor. Other than that, we had a great time and would definitely come back for another game!

I went back and spoke with the manager, Renzo. After taking his time to find the receipt, he eventually saw that the extra tip had indeed been added. He told me he would talk to the bartender and "most likely" refund it. Later he even reached out and said I would be getting my money back. The refund never came through. Pretty frustrating situation. Customers shouldn't have to chase down their own money after being charged something they didn't approve. Always double check your receipts here.

My friends had the Hotter Than the Dickens ($13) and Kirin ($7.99) for both rounds. I started off with a Lychee For Me ($12) and then a Sangria ($?). We all enjoyed our drinks. If I had to give feedback to the business I would like the lychee for me to have some fresh fruit lychee as a garnish, and some diced apples in the sangria for a fruity bite.

Great place to grab a drink while hanging out at the food hall or waiting for your other food orders. They also have a TV and very friendly staff to keep you company.
