    Don't go to La Cantina Grill if you are looking for a quiet dinner with good service and tasty food. After a less than satisfactory first meal at the restaurant, I gave it another shot last night and confirmed that I will never go there again. The acoustics are terrible and we could hear almost every other diner's conversation in our area. The waitress seemed completely uninterested in serving us and even turned away from me before I had finished giving her my order. To top it off, the food was subpar and my rice came with an extra-long hair. When I showed it to the waitress (and manager for that matter), their first reaction was "What color is it?" Not - I'm very sorry or Can I bring you something else. Since the hair was blonde, they proceeded to tell me that there were no blondes working in the kitchen and seemed to imply that I was at fault. No one at our table was even remotely blonde. Instead of being gracious and accomodating, the staff and manager were unfriendly and accusatory. I do NOT recommend this restaurant - their food and customer service are terrible.

    DO NOT EAT HERE! This was the worst burrito i have ever had and it cost $10. It was mostly tortilla, the meat was flavorless. The tiny side of rice was dry and tasted like cardboard and the beans were like eating flavorless lard. Stay very far away. I wasn't the only one in our office that thought so. Salsa also had no flavor.

    Great place. I love it. I have been there several times. I have seen the service improve dramatically since the first time going. The food is always good and I just like going there. It is just a really clean and cozy place to spend time and enjoy good food.

    the food, drinks and service are awesome. the place is fun and inviting, we really enjoyed ourselves. the margaritas are to die for, steak is tender and juicy, my girlfriend had the talapia mojo de ajo, so fresh. definately a hot spot, thanks chicago magazine for turning me on to it. i recommend it! 100%.

    I highly recommend this neighborhood feeling cantina. The roast chicken was juicy with a crispy, well-seasoned skin. One person in my party had sangria; the other a margarita. Both were excellent. Super-friendly staff.

    My dinner was delicious. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable. I will be going again for sure. I recommend trying out the lime margarita, mine was really good!

    Comfortable place to go and eat. The food was good and didn't cost an arm and a leg. The homemade sangria is out of this world, and they make 2 kinds. I will go back again.
