Food tastes stale and old used to love the lemon cookies but now they can break a tooth. Meat tastes like dirt and play-dough. Soda tastes like 10 pounds of sugar. I would much rather go to chipotle even though I don't like chipotle. read more

Xochimex Cantina Grill - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Miami, Florida

We ordered take our for three people. The proteins in all the tacos were very dry and poor quality meats. The steak tacos were inedible and we had to throw them out. The chicken was a little better, but still dry, hard meat. The chips tasted stale as did the churros... also had to throw out. Disappointed. read more

I've been coming to Cantina for years. I've seen a lot of the original staff move on and it was a shame they were great. In terms of the food, it tastes great.. when they get your order right. I speak English and Spanish and either way they will miss or just blatantly not do the things you ask that was easily done before. Today was the day I wrote the review because I figured ordering online was the best option in order for them to SEE what it was I wanted. I ordered a Rice bowl with chicken, cheese, refried beans and that's it. I pick up my order and drive to work and when I finally got the time to eat I open the bag to find a Salad. I guess this place really has gone down in quality. Sad. read more

THERE IS CROSS CONTAMINATION HERE. I saw the lady scoop out onions with the same hand (she was wearing gloves) she used to scoop out the cheese. This is concerning for any food or dietary restricted customers. If that is with the cold ingredients it could happen with meats. They also put back in the trays the food that falls on the side and that has been sitting out for a while. So NASTY and not Sanitary. Utterly disgusting The owner should invest in some type of utensils for each. read more

Andrew plasencia is a great cashier. He had a lot of patients and is very kind and shows respect.

Horrible service from the complete staff especially the guy making the orders.. rude remarks and comments for no reason. Didn't just happen on one occasion the staff is always upset for some reason. read more

This place is just so delicious I can't help but cheat on Chipotle for it! The way they consistently over stuff the food is what really gets me. I always get the quesadilla and they start by heating up the meat and on a separate burner heat up the tortilla with cheese. While on the grill they start adding whatever topping you want; cilantro, sour cream, pico, guac, corn...whatever your little heart desires. Oh yea, they consider bacon a regular topping! On top of your delicious order they add a large handful of chips! Definitely worth a try if your a Mexican fast food lover like me. read more

Xochimex Cantina Grill - Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Miami, Florida

The food was great but the service was very slow. Looks like there were only two employees attending the restaurant with about 15 people in line. At one point a customer asked for something that one of the employees needed to go to the back for, leaving only one employee managing the whole line. Especially during the holidays they should have more employees assisting. read more

I've been coming to this place for years, but today's experience was beyond disappointing. The employees were incredibly rude. I was trying to order a quesadilla, and the older lady with short blonde hair didn't even greet me. She made my quesadilla however she wanted, leaving out the veggies, and then claimed that's what I asked for--even though she never asked me what I wanted. To make matters worse, the same employee dropped my boyfriend's tortilla on the floor, picked it up, and didn't even bother to change her gloves. I've never had this kind of problem here before, but today's service was unacceptable. read more

Walk in and no greeting, dirty looks as you walk up to order. "Y que quiere la muchacha" is how they asked for my girlfriends order as she wasn't standing right next to me. Terrible service is an understatement. read more

This place has gone down hill The quality of food is trash and overpriced Don't order via UBER EATS you cannot add all toppings available. read more

I'm super disappointed in cantina grill. If I wanted to get attitude, eye rolling, teeth sucking and nasty sarcasm I'll go take my money somewhere else. Sad thing is I live in the area (where a chipotle recently opened) and I used to genuinely loved cantinas food so I would choose cantina over chipotle. Now, not only did they cut down the portions, but the service is horrible. We ordered them through Uber eats last month and they messed up our order but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. This will be the last time we'll eat here how unfortunate.DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!. read more

Es normal, un resuelve... no va a ser la mejor comida mexicana de la ciudad, pero por el precio esta bueno. Te atienden relativamente rápido y el lugar esta limpio y ordenado. Si estas buscando algo fácil, rápido y a buen precio? Aquí resuelves. Tienen el sistema de puntos que después de ciertas comidas te regalan una, que también esta bien. Una buena forma de incentivar al cliente a ir mas seguido. read more

I ordered uber eats from Xochimex cantina Grill yesterday and I was glad I did. The food arrived quickly and I was surprised to see the big portion of my rice bowl. My son ordered a chicken salad which wasn't as large of Portia's the bowl I ordered by he said that it was delicious. The orders cabe with a paper bag of chips similar to what Chipotle's does. Unfortunately I don't have pictures as I was hungry and forgot about taking photos. I have gone in the before but I always walked out because of the line but now I know it's worth the wait. The prices for the amount of food is really good, reasonably priced. read more

2nd time I ordered delivery from here and 2nd time that they either add stuff to my bowl that I don't want or are missing items entirely. I ordered a chicken bowl with white rice and black beans with some cheese and cilantro as toppings and I received a chicken bowl with white rice and black beans that has corn and tomatoes as toppings. Disappointing experience. read more

What a great place for healthy eating, as long as you make healthy choices. For vegetarians or individuals with food allergies, such as allergies to soy, gluten, or dairy, they offer great alternatives. Their leafy greens, fresh vegetables, and healthy proteins make for a filling meal. At Cantina, you can feel like part of a group, eating what they eat. You can feel fun, festive and truly enjoy your meal. read more

Have heard only good things about Cantina from both of my sons until today, MY first experience. Joined my son and his lady for a Saturday lunch. Her food (rice bowl) didn't have the right ingredients added. Worse, my sons regular chicken burrito was, in a word, bad. Beans tasted off, but over 3/4 of the filling was rice. White rice. A starch burrito. Unacceptable. Full price for lots of rice. This is definitely below the standard of Cantina from what I gather; it was my first experience and certainly did NOT leave me disposed to recommend them. Perhaps Lime? One star was generous (and the only option). Cantina, I hope if there is a next time you prove this was a one-off. read more

Xochimex Cantina Grill - Would you like some other fillings with your rice?? - Mexican Near Me - Miami, Florida

First time visiting this location and this is my experience The food was great it was very delicious, had good portions, although the presentation was BAD my quesadillas were only cut through the top layer of tortilla We ordered 5 quesadillas and told the Cuban guy that it would be separate orders from the very beginning And through the whole process from ordering to paying he gave us bad attitude for simply telling him what we wanted on our food What's the point of having ingredients and toppings to choose from if you're going to get aggravated when a customer adds them to their food? He very well showed he was annoyed by his facial expression's and tone of voice how we would speak to us. We asked him for individual sauces and what we wanted he claimed they didn't have but when asked another employee they brought it and we got the sauce. When we got to the counter to pay he got mad because we told him the quesadillas were going to be paid separately like we said in the beginning The whole customer service thing was way really set it off you should respect someone if they are showing the same respect to you. As we were leaving you could tell he was talking to another employee while looking at us because they were both watching I really was going to confront him with what the issue was but I figured he's just delusional I am all for supporting small businesses but if That's how you retain your customer then you need to re-evaluate your staffing and coach your team way more on customer satisfaction. Hope this doesn't take away from the food quality once again it was delicious just fix your staff. Do better. (This was Friday night btw) read more

This place needs new staff. Service is slow AF. The women here think they work at a fine dining place or a call center(they were mostly chatting). ITS FAST FOOD NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. Nobody cares what street you were born on or how many kids you have or how many burritos youve stuffed yourself with in one sitting.. LADY JUST MAKE MY BURRITO SO I CAN GO EAT IT. A burrito is a working persons meal to be made fast for on the go purposes. These women will take 20 minutes to prepare a single burrito. And after all that chatter the burrito was subpar. It's kind of silly the way they work here. They're more like circus performers than fast food workers. read more

Food was terrible, wouldn't even rate it one star. If you order nachos expect no cheese or anything (barely any chicken). Why do you have to order cheese separately (extra $2) if nachos are supposed to come with cheese. Paid $11 for chips and hardly any chicken. read more

Poor Cantina this location can go 0 to 100 real quick - in terms of how busy they get. Been coming to this locations for years now, and I've never had an issue, THANKFULLY. What I love about them is that they go hard with the toppings! No extra charges unless you get bacon, guacamole or queso. Prices are affordable and they give you a good amount of protein. The burritos are HUGE and a quesadilla can be just as big depending on the toppings you get. They do get carried away with the topping of the hard tacos which can make them soggy so hopefully you eat them quick. They have very limited seating now with COVID. Seems like most of the staff is new. So service is a little slower than usual. But still prefer them over TACO BELL! read more

Xochimex Cantina Grill - Mexican Near Me - Miami, Florida

Have been coming to this location for several years, the food is ok, BUT the service is getting worse. I come here often to enjoy my food with my family not to receive bad attitude from a worker that doesn't treat customers how they should and pretends to receive tip. This lady, in a sarcasm way , claimed why I didn't tip her. In this type of restaurants, where they do not serve you directly to your table, it's to our discretion to give a tip. If I get a good service obviously I will give a tip but if you are preparing my food as if you are doing me a favor .....forget it. As a customer I have the freedom to spend my money in a restaurant that really treats me good, is sad that the owners of Xochimex don't do anything to improve their customer service, just a reminder for the owners, your business is opened thanks to us CUSTOMERS Sad to say, this is my last time going to Xochimex. read more

I placed an order on July 18th, 2020 at approximately 2:30pm from Xochimex Cantina Grill in Hialeah, Florida, located at 691 W 49th st, it was delivered to my home about an hour later, when i opened the container i noticed the tacos i had ordered were all soggy and the presentation was messy, and to make things worse, food smelled bad, like a sour smell to it. I tried calling the restaurant but the mailbox was full, i got no answer, tried calling a different location, lady that answered the phone was extremely rude and refused to help me. Food and customer service is AWEFUL!! Food went straight in the trash can! read more

Xochimex Cantina Grill - Mexican Near Me - Miami, Florida

I've been coming to this location for years. It may not be authentic Mexican, I can recommend other spots for that particular audience; however this restaurant falls more closely under Tex-Mex and it is absolutely delicious. FOOD: served quickly, in front of your face; options include chicken, fish, steak, ground beef, pork, or meatless burritos, tacos, bowls, or quesadillas. The conveyor belt style has been working for them for years. You can add multiple toppings like jalapeños, pico de Gallo, spinach, tomato, banana peppers, lettuce, (bacon, guacamole, both extra) and queso. The burritos and quesadillas come huge! They are served with a side of fried corn tortillas. SERVICE: no servers here, but food prepped in front of you to your liking AMBIENCE: calm, moderately loud and line for food can go out the door. Worth the wait. They have ample seating areas for small and large parties. Plenty of TVs to catch the local games as well. read more

Worst customer service experience I have had so far. The person did not understand my order after I explained it in both English and Spanish. They asked me several times what I wanted after I repeated the order twice. The food was good but the service was chaotic - they did not explain their prices after asking numerous times. They were not courteous. read more

Food is always consistent and good. Although staff need more training on hygiene. Yesterday the lady preparing my food put on gloves but then grabbed her cell phone out of back pocket when it rang with the gloves on. We all know cell phones have more bacteria then most surfaces and she didn't bother to change the gloves. read more

If you like Chipotle then you are going to LOVE Cantina! Located in the heart of west kendall (Bird & 147th Ave), this hidden gem is a Carb Lovers Paradise. The portions on any item offered on the menu are HUUGGEEEE! This is especially true for all my Die-hard Burrito Lovers! Notorious for their Signature Burritos, customers are able customize their burritos with a plethora array of toppings, sauces, proteins, etc. As an added bonus, if you go on a Monday you get double the points which can be redeemed for a free meal once you reach 20! Like always, I order my usual: a chicken burrito starting with white tortilla, white rice & black beans. Followed by diced tomatoes, chopped lettuce, shredded cheese, spinach for the gains, cucumber slices, sweet peppers, and a very Very generous serving of corn. This signals the commencement of the closing ceremony, starting off with drizzles of sour cream coming from the east, proceeded by showers of garlic cilantro from the west. Once the sauce storm subsides, a layer of savory cooked chicken is placed on top of the behemoth. As they attempt to roll my baby, I tell them to "toast it" as this will ensure the burrito maintains it's divine figure throughout its shortly lived lifespan. Usually by having them place shredded cheese on the area getting toasted, you are putting the golden seal on your burrito in terms of what was mentioned in the previous sentence. At long last, the burrito is placed in the bowl served with FREE chips (CMG step it up). These chips can be paired with the burrito itself or any of the complimentary dips provided in their salsa section. Thus, for just a little less than $10 you are getting a meal that is not only delicious but will keep you satisfied for the rest of the day. And if you're not convinced by this point then I just have one thing to say: Guacamole. read more

These are difficult times trying to get good help. But one would think that did you work at a taco shop, one would understand the words chicken bowl and steak burrito. This the the second in the last 4 visits that has not gone well. I was ordering 2 items, the chicken bowl and steak burrito. This lady had no idea what I wanted. A kind lady in line ahead of me explained the chicken bowl. However, is the cook's concussion she somehow thought I just wanted a chicken bowl. At this point she discontinues to cook the steak by removing it from the grill. Now she's back on the chicken. Once she was done with that I again asked about the steak burrito. She returns to make the tortilla. When I asked if the steak was hot (remember, it hasn't been on the grill) she replied yes. It wasn't. When I got home it was COLD to the touch. Can't go back. Just can't. It's a shame, food is tasty. read more

I'm sorry chipotle who!? Every time someone suggest burritos, bowls, or my personal favorite quesadillas I always enthusiastically encourage cantina without a hesitation. 1. Its taste so flipping good! Like holy smokes man! I use to always just get he burrito because its huge and feeds a small village but then I tried the quesadilla and my life changed. If you love cheesy goodness you have to try it!!!!! 2. The serving size. Touched up on that one lightly, but they serve such great portions. When I go to other places I feel like they're are supper stingy with meats, Guaq and sides etc but they never ever disappoint. Even the regulars I can always split because they're so filling. 3. COOKIES!!!! Omg you need to try the toffee cookie ( mind you my favorite is always chocolate chip) but I mean the chocolate is great too! 4. Salsa, the mango salsa is a must! Every time I go I take like 3/4 in the little to go servings. Sorry not sorry. 5. Rewards program! They are so great with their rewards! I've gotten bogo on meals a few times already so that's always exciting. 6. Atmosphere, its always so nice and clean and upbeat. I always opt to eat in. Thank you cantina for being my favorite go to place for all things burritos and quesadillas read more

All good things must come to an end. My family and I have always loved eating here frequently but the last couple of times have been bad. Today we went and the girl attending us had an attitude that was too obvious she didn't want to be there. Both the quesadilla and the burrito came apart ass soon as we began to eat them. The wrap used was so thick it had the texture of a pita. The mango sauce has completely changed in taste. And the guac seemed watery and I didn't even taste it when eating the quesadilla. Our cantina tradition has now come to an end. read more

A spot that I have been coming too for a long time. No matter what time its normally packed, so be prepared to wait. Food tho is worth the wait. Quality is great, from chicken to steak. To the added toppings. The queso is amazing. Sometimes I'll just go in for chips & queso. They do have beer available. and a small selection of other beverages as well. They have a good amount of tables to sit and one tv. Be mindful that there is a small pond behind the shop so there will be ducks walking around. They are harmless so just walk past them. Parking is a bit tight all around, so be careful. read more

I came here on Saturday evening for Michelle Z's "I Love Meeshes to Pieces" / fund raiser event for her upcoming race with the Leukemia/Lymphoma society. When I saw the name "Cantina Grill", for some reason I was expecting to find decor similar to a Senior Frogs or Carlos 'n Charlie's. In reality, Cantina Grill is located in a strip mall and reminded me a lot of Baja Fresh in its appearance and concept. As someone else commented, the process works a lot like Subway: You get in line, pick your entree (burrito, nachos, quesadilla, taco platter, etc.), select a white or whole wheat tortilla if applicable, then pick the type of meat you'd like (chicken, pork, ground beef, steak, fish or meatless/vegatarian). Beyond that, you work your way down the preparation line similar to the way you would at Subway and tell them which additional items and toppings you'd like them to add (i.e. white or brown rice, black or refried beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, etc.) I had the steak burrito which was $7.99, and was charged $1.19 extra because I got guacamole on it. Each of their entrees comes with chips and you can help yourself to about 6 different types of salsa. My burrito was HUGE, and with the chips/salsa, it made for a meal so large that I wasn't able to finish it, all for a bit under $10, not including a beverage. Not bad! The service was good, staff were friendly and on this night the 5 or 6 people behind the counter had no trouble at all keeping up with the constant influx of customers. There are 2 big screen TVs inside, but the seating area isn't huge so if you come when this restaurant is busy, you may end up getting your order to go. Cantina Grill does serve beer (Bud Light, Miller Light, Bud Light Lime and Corona bottles), but because of the decor and overhead fluorescent lighting, this isn't really the place to kick back and have a beer with your meal IMO. Kudos and a 4th star to this locally owned business because, on this night, they agreed to give 20% of their sales towards Michelle's fund raising efforts as she prepares to race for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society! read more

This place has become our new lunch spot when we're craving Mexican food! The concept is similar to that of Chipotle, but the food is a million times better!!! It also surpasses Lime Fresh Mexican Grill since it's cheaper and they're not stingy with their meat, which is always good! The place is pretty small with a few tables and it can get crowded and smokey. We had the Steak Taco Entree (two soft or hard shell tacos with chips) and the Steak Nacho Entree with whatever toppings you choose. You can choose between a whole wheat or white tortilla for your tacos and burritos. And please be advised - the nacho entree is big enough for two people!!! Make sure you try the QUESO!!! read more
