Phenomenal food, service, and atmosphere! Absolutely delicious lobster tacos, fajitas, salads, guacamole, drinks, and much more. Galaga, a well stocked bar, and personable servers/bartenders take it from a 9/10 to a 10/10. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Fun specials with $20 pitchers, live music, karaoke, and more make it a place I want to try dozens of times to work through the menu and experience the many different options.

This was my first time going to eat/drink at this location. The bartender was very friendly and attentive, he even made us a drink he recommended after we asked him it was delicious! The ramen I ordered was delicious, the wings are HUGE! And AMAZING! We’ll be going back forsure!

Finally a Mexican restaurant that makes fuzion style tacos. I had the Maine Lobster roll as a taco and also a Thai pulled pork as a taco. All I have to say is the flavors that were on these tacos were the best I have ever tasted before. Yes I do travel so I have had the real stuff. Please try them for yourself and enjoy.

First time here - absolutely delightful! Margaritas are great, street corn guacamole is unique! Will definitely add this place to our CL repertoire.

We found a local place we really like since moving into the area. The margaritas are great! Our first visit happened to be karaoke night. We hit 2 flights of margaritas to try the different traditional and unique flavors. The next visit we had some food. We both loved our food! The fish tacos and smoked brisket nachos absolutely delicious!

I came here with a friend and will most certainly be back. The owner was very welcoming and explained the menu. There was so much to choose from. The margaritas were delicious. We both had 3 tacos, and each one was so good. We brought home the 3rd because they were so big. Again, I will definitely be coming back. A perfect place for my family since they have a little bit of everything.

Enjoyed outdoor seating and a delicious selection of summer specials, including pineapple salsa, grilled pineapple wrapped in bacon, and lime coconut shrimp skewers. Always a delight to visit this welcoming, upbeat restaurant. Highly recommend!

I went to Cantina 52 a couple of weeks ago with my husband and couldn't be happier with our experience! The server was brand new and very professional, bartender made the yummiest drinks, and the owner was utterly hilarious. You can tell that he truly cares about the business and providing a positive experience. They also had a musician performing that night who was absolutely fantastic! We will absolutely be dining - and enjoying margaritas - here again!
