He had been there once before and enjoyed the meal and the service. I was nervous to get enough time to eat and it worked out perfectly. I had even asked for a to go container and didn't need it. The food was so good and the Horchata, heavenly!!! They not just take pride in the food and service but the decor and ambiance so endearing. So sweet and took us to a little Mexican Restor'an, right here in Daytona. The space is much larger than I thought and the bar area looked like a nice place to meet friends and enjoy the food, drinks & service. The gentleman who took care of us, was so precious and intent on us being happy. I have to also say the menu is amazing and we will be back to try it all... We arrived in good time, as we watched it fill up with others who knew how wonderful it is there... Plenty of parking and would be a great space to have a party!!!

I had no idea what was about to come my way but it was HUGE!!!!! The drink was so good (sooo much ice filling that huge glass) but it was fun to get such a big drink. The queso was good too. My husband ordered steak and it had to be sent back for undercooking, but otherwise, it was a really good meal. The service was not responsive. Had to ask for chips, drink refills, and waited a good bit to see the server to tell her to take the steak back to be cooked again. All-in-all, food gets a good nod, but due to the lack of service in a largely empty restaurant, I am giving it 3 stars.

We were pleasantly surprised that they were able to seat our whole group, at one long table, without any wait. The restaurant itself is a lot larger inside than it appears from the outside, with plenty of seating. I ordered a house margarita, which was good, and substantially sized. The chips and salsa were tasty, and with as large of a table as we had, they refreshed them for us, which was great. For dinner, I had the pollo poblano, a chicken dish that comes with mushroom and spinach stuffed chicken, rice, and they kindly switched out the black bean puree for vegetables. Overall, the meal was good, but surprisingly not super flavorful.

I took advantage of the La Parrilla Louie lunch special, which was a ginormous portion half of which I took home for an additional meal. My wife had the pineapple Al Pastor and the Americana tacos with Spanish rice and black beans. The Al Pastor was much tastier than the Americana so next time she'll order two of the Al Pastors. The service was great and a really nice atmosphere in this restaurant. It is right across the street from the Daytona speedway. Also, an incredible value as their prices are really fair.

We stopped in to Cantina Louie after a day of shopping in the Daytona Beach Area. It's been a while…read moresince our last visit, so I called the restaurant to see if they still had their happy hour specials. At first the staff member informed me that they only have these during the week, but after further discussion she explained to me that yes, they still have the happy hour specials on the weekend from 2pm-5pm, nice! Surprisingly, for a Saturday at 4pm, this restaurant was actually slow. We were seated promptly and greeted by our server shortly after. We just wanted to order a few appetizers and a drink to share so we went with the Fro-Jo-Rita ($3.99), two orders of Taquitos ($4.49), the Guacamole ($4.49), and the Mexican Street Corn ($4.99). I highly recommend stopping in during happy hour to save beaucoup $$$$$. Our $40 something meal just turned into a $29.91 minus tip, great deal! I have to mention that since our last visit some of the appetizers have been removed from the happy hour deals, empanadas being one of them. Our food was out in record time. I went to the restroom to wash my hands shortly after placing the order and the appetizers were already arriving, wow! The food was delicious like we remember it; however, some of the taquito chicken was a bit dry, mostly on the ends, I take that into consideration since it is deep fried; regardless, there is plenty of sauce to go around to jazz it back up as needed. We were pretty much stuffed to the gills when we finished these appetizers, so no complaining here. Our server, Cammie, was super friendly and personable, she took great care of us during our visit. The restaurant is still as beautiful inside as we remember it, but this time around a happened to notice how gorgeous the bar top is. The bartender informed me that all the cards that are Epoxy Resin sealed into the bar are from Mexico, and that this is one of the last Cantina Louie stores this work was performed in. The Artists who performed this work has done all of the bar tops for every Cantina Louie since inception, which is pretty amazing to learn. I would mention that my only complaint this time around is that the chips that came with the chips and salsa were not warmed before delivery. I could tell they were freshly cooked that day but they were sent our room temp. Not the biggest complaint especially since we asked Cammie if she could bring out the second basket warmed, which she did. If you are looking for an affordable meal while shopping in the area, I highly recommend checking out Cantina Louie, especially during happy hour. We will be back!

The chicken in my Flautas was so tender and soft inside a fresh crunchy corn shell with excellent flavor - yummy!! The refried beans were delicious!!!
