Food was good. The waitress was really nice but the dude who originally took our name and phone number was rude AF. Told us it would be about 10 mins to get seated, after 20 min we went back in to ask. His response was, I called your phone twice and no one answered. Apparently he couldn’t write 10 numbers down correctly because we had no missed calls. He proceeded to toss the menus on the table when seating us.
So in summary, the food was good. You’re spinning the wheel on what type of service you might get there.

Great little space ! Service was friendly. The place had nice energy about it too . I got the seafood quesadilla and it was very good . It's in a shopping area so there is plenty of parking . The bathrooms are just a short walk outside of restaurant. Prices were fair and we received our food quickly .
We will be back !

Save your money and go someplace else. My wife and I stopped in here for a quick lunch. We pulled up at 11:45am and we weren't sure if they were opened or not. Members of the wait staff were sitting out front smoking. Once they saw us pull up they went inside and flipped on the "open" sign. We ordered the chicken nachos to share. The entree came out quickly but every ingredient was cold and the cheese wasn't even melted on top. Our bill came to $20 for an order of nachos and two waters. Several members of the waitstaff were also not wearing masks while speaking with customers

This is an absolute hidden Gem in Corolla. I almost don't want to post about it, its like the cool small place in Swingers that you kinda need to be invited to... At its heart, it's really a cheers-bar; a divey, fun, local-loved, cantina. The food is remarkable. Everything is fresh and everything is as good as you will find in a city. The salsa, blanco queso, guacamole and all the sauces are handmade and fresh. Fresh herbs, local caught seafood, it's just exactly what I love.
Disclaimer - if you are tough to please and not looking for a dive/homey experience, please don't come

We stopped by after our obstacle course adventure. We were all very hungry! This place was on our way back to the hotel. We ordered tuna poke appetizer, seafood quesadilla and mahi mahi burrito. Everything was made fresh and fast! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was welcoming. We all highly recommend!

Tasty place to eat!
This spot sits in a shopping center with other solid restaurants. We came here on our way out of town last week, but we've been here before.
We sat outside. If you can handle the flies, sitting outside is great at the beach.
The Mrs and my daughter got chicken nachos which were delicious. The boy got crab and shrimp quesadillas- very tasty! I got ahi tuna tacos. The tuna came out super raw, but combined with coconut rice and an awesome cucumber Wasabi sauce, it turned out great.
Looking forward to coming here next year as well!

We stopped here out of a whim while driving through Corolla. This was our first time eating out since February due to the pandemic so we were super excited to eat out.
We are outside since the inside was closed but they were able to distance us from other customers which we liked. The food was good! The tarter sauce really flavorful and I ordered the guacamole and a side of chips and that was great as well! The waitress was super nice as well. Over all we had a pretty pleasant experience.
With that being said the only thing that knocked the stars down a bit was if you ordered soda, refills

Wow... annoyed we've been here a week and only just now tried this place! The honey shrimp app is absolutely amazing! Both of our sandwiches were stellar! Service was on point and friendly and the atmosphere inside and out is super comfy and welcoming. Will definitely be revisiting the Cantina before we leave!

Very cute, quaint place near the light house that you probably (??) don't need a reservation for. Or maybe you do, it's a tiny place!
We loved our Waitress who was on top of her game, friendly, and seemed to also be wearing multiple hats. The ambiance is nice, casual, and I'd definitely come back for happy hour.
We got the appetizer sampler and it came with guacamole, queso, and salsa. The guac seemed like it was from a bag, or half bag half fresh, and the salsa came from a jar. Melted cheese is hard to mess up. I wouldn't want to pay $12 for that sampler again.
