    Chicken taco
    Valerie V.

    Overall the burrito and taco was good , wish the burrito had little more "POP" to the burrito with some flavor, the chicken taco was good, probably can use lil oiled up tortillas to give it that extra flavor also. Black beans were good and the rice . Service was nice, inside was clean .

    Tacos were fresh. Everything made from scratch. Horchata was really good: not too sweet or too milky. Loved the outdoor seating available! Staff were really friendly. The area inside was very clean. Each taco is sold individually including the Super Taco. Was a bit confused by that when food came out. Chips for salsa and Guac were not too crispy or too thick!

    Fresh and flavorful! The buffalo shrimp taco was perfectly seasoned, the cucumber salad had just enough kick from the lime, and the service was warm and friendly. Definitely my new go-to for Mexican food!

    Supposed to be carnitas.

    The customer service and the food. I received food that was not appetizing at all. The food was not hot and had no flavor, when asked for salt and pepper, they mentioned they did not have any pepper. The carnitas tasted like dish water. I will never come back.

    I'd heard great things about this place for A WHILE. Actually drove out of my way to try them. Man! Was I disappointed. Interior / Exterior Interior is tiny - VERY limited seating. Parking is limited as well. The parking is shared by Jamaica Mi Krazy, Pa-Pa Ray's Lousiana Kitchen, Peach State Insurance, Nimbus Smoke & Vape and iRepair IT. You can turn on Bell Drive and park behind the building - or you can drive past the building and take a quick hard right turn into the parking lot next to them. *If you know where Panda Express, Aldi's, QuickTrip and McDonald's are on Spring Rd - they are less than 1/16th of a mile from that Spring Rd / Cumberland Blvd intersection. Customer Service I waited for my order. The cashier was friendly and upbeat - as long as you were male. Not joking. Even when I went out of my way to be friendly and told her it was my first time - she was a cold as ice. But when any dudes came in - she was grinning and tossing her ponytail for everything it was worth. Not gonna lie - at first, I thought it might be a race thing - because there were a few Hispanic customers in front of me and a group of white guys after me and she was so friendly you would've thought she was filming a commercial. BUT - she was cold as ice to a Caucasian, blonde female customer after that and then friendly as pie to black, male customer right after. Food I ordered - Naked Al Pastor (Pork & Pineapple) - add lettuce & tomato - flour instead of corn tortilla Naked Pollo (Grilled Chicken) - add lettuce & tomato - flour instead of corn tortilla Naked Chicken Tinga (Chipotle Shredded Chicken) - add lettuce & tomato - flour instead of corn tortilla Super Taco - Fried Chicken, chile de arbol, coleslaw, cotija cheese, flour tortilla Super Taco - Chipotle Salmon, pico de gallo, lime coleslaw, flour tortilla Nutshell version - everything was beautiful - but bland. I couldn't believe it. Value I paid over $25 - and I even tipped - despite the robotic, unfriendly service - for 5 teeny, tiny street tacos. Oh - I almost forgot - I went back up to the register after cashier waited on two more groups and asked for a side of sour cream. She told me it was $1.25 but when she presented me with one thimble sized container of sour cream (not even enough for one taco ) - I declined. I saw a post where someone said they were very affordable - so maybe I got overcharged. I don't know. I went the website to confirm - but their website doesn't list prices. My lettuce & tomato add on certainly increased my naked taco prices - and there must have have been an upcharge from switching from corn to flour tortilla tacos as well - but $5 for a street taco sized taco - sorry. Overall Overall - this is food for TikTok or Instagram. Very pretty. And it's probably healthy as well. And it get it - this is Vinings - or Vinings adjacent - so they probably pay an arm & leg for this space - but these portions are tiny. The food is not flavorful and the service was not friendly. Hard pass. And for all fans of this place - warning in advance - stay out of my in-box. Let's not start a war. We are all entitled to our opinions. Let's not delve deeply into followings and views. Best!

    Burrito bowl

    This place was pretty busy during the lunch hour so I would suggest to call in or place an order online. The pick up process was simple. The team was friendly for the short interaction I encountered. The food was fresh and generous in size. This was my first time visiting. I ordered a shrimp burrito bowl. There honestly wasn't anything magical or different about this place. I enjoy authentic Mexican and this place reminds me of Tex-Mex food. If this is your vibe go for it. I think this is a one and done for me.

    This place is def worth a visit: good food at a good price. It was the torta that sold it for me. The hubs had the cantina special while I opted for the chipotle asada torta. Oh. And they only sell bottled water, but it was like $0.24 for the bottle. His three (street) tacos (carne asada, al pastor, chicken tinga) were small but pretty filling: corn tortilla & double wrapped. These regular tacos were only $1.88 apiece if bought separately. The tacos were so so imo. There wasn't much of a flavor profile. The carne asada and al pastor were more flavorful compared to the chicken. The addition of the Bri's (white) rice and black beans made it more filling. The rice was simple, but it was pretty tasty with its salt seasoning. My torta was super filling, flavorful, and the ultimate sandwich. The house fried chips had a nice crunch with the different sauces at the station. My only complaint is that it was super messy to consume. I think you taste more sauce with this torta than anything else: There was the guacamole, lime crema, and white American cheese that probably melted. The steak was present within all this and was well seasoned and coated with all the sauces. This place is fast casual. It reminded me of taco joints that are popular but connected to gas stations. I don't know why Taco Cantina gave me this vibe. Though the interior was small, it had plenty of seating options. There was also a good number of people who did the take-out option.

    Had a great late lunch visit to the Cantina on this Thursday afternoon. Not sure how crowded it gets during normal (11am-1pm) lunch hours, but at nearly 3pm...there was no wait and I had free reign to sit inside or outside. Parking: Good amount of parking. There is access from a light or straight from the road. Lot is smaller than most, so I wouldn't bring a chartered bus. Dining: Your choice of inside or out. There are a couple of outside tables for dining on a perfect weather day. This place might be a problem for larger parties of 10 or more, but is just fine for 4-5'rs. They also have a topping bar for you to dress up your chips or entree. Everything from Salsas to onions. Service: Walk on up to the counter and order what ya like from the menu above the cashier. Some print on the menu is smaller than others, so bring the glasses if you have trouble seeing 10-20 ft away. Clean up: When you're done (depending on how busy they are), they'll pick up your tray for you. It stays pretty clean in here. Great choice for some latin favorites (chorizo, queso, nachos, tacos, enchiladas, etc). I really enjoyed my chicken burrito (with the sour cream inside).

    The Hispanic / Latino population in Cobb County is the second largest in Georgia according to the 2020 Census. Smyrna, Georgia has a prosperous Mexican food scene and you will find some really good tacos spots such as " Tequeria El Guero" "Tacos La Villa , "Birria El Gordo" to name a few. So when one of my favorite go to spots, Tacos La Villa is temporarily closed due to a kitchen fire, I went to the current business that is catering to the old customers that have nowhere to go near by. I went into Mi Cantina with high expectations since they are in the Mexican / Latino side of town, but, I was disappointed by the non-authentic Mexican food that I ate. I had two steak tacos and a El pastor. The tacos were a 2 of 5, but in a constructive criticism critique, the rice and beans are no bueno. Sorry if this offended anyone. Steam white rice and blacks beans are not what you would find in Southern California, Texas or Tijuana as your side. I honestly advocate that we petition the owner to do a little bit of research and update their rice and beans recipe to honor Mexican food traditions. 3 star - SERVICE 1 star - FOOD 5 - Ambiance -------- 9 of 15 points / Grade C / 60%

I asked could they cut the chicken small for my elderly mother. These fools flat out said no. That was beyond unfathomable! As I watched a guy cutting vegetables. They have no logical on why they couldn't cut the chicken that was already cut up smaller. The cashier was a little girl with braces kept awkwardly giggling like a little school girl. I asked a guy for the manager. He had on some thick black frames. He tells me the manager isn't there. So, I ask who is in charge. He said, "I guess me". So I tell him what happened and he looked like another little kid with an awkward face like he didn't know what to do. Then he says, "well I just work here". Everyone just acted like they didn't understand or speak English. This was insane! I don't do bad service at all. Leave this place alone, just like I am. I have a low tolerance for stupidity. I just left while they played a who's on first. Completely unprofessional and immature. Will never spend a dime there again.

There's booths and tables and I like that the tables aren't too close to each other. There's cute decor, just a nice vibe overall. It wasn't too busy for a Friday evening which was nice since we had our kids with us. The waiter was pleasant and checked on us occasionally, without being over bearing. We started with a trio of dips with chips- guacamole, queso, and salsa instead of the bean dip. All of them were good with the queso being so-so for me. The salsa is nice and smoky. One kid had a kids meal with two shredded beef tacos and fries. I'm glad they served the onions and cilantro on the side for him. Hubby has the queso birria plate and raved about how good it was. I enjoyed by pollo asado plate. I only wish they had a salsa bar with the pickled veggies, etc. The menu is extensive so I can't wait to try something else. Prices are a little higher than other Mexican places, but they make a lot of homemade items and you can tell the difference.
