"My friend and I decided to give the restaurant a try. We went on a weekday at about 1:00 The outdoor waterfall was nice and gave us high hopes the food would be good. We were greeted by an elderly gentleman who was quite friendly. The atmosphere was Hispanic, with bold colors of blue, yellow, red, and green. Traditional Mexican artwork on the walls. Brick-colored tiled floor. There were a few tables occupied by construction men. I ordered an Asada taco bowl. My friend ordered chili Verde. My bowl lacked seasoning. Seriously, it was like the chef forgot to add any spice at all! My friend said the chili Verde was ok, but wouldn't order it again. At the end of our meal, I needed to use the restroom. I walked into the women's room took one look and almost gagged. I hurried back to the table, paid our bill, and left. We both left a good tip as the waiter was great. Don't think I'll be back."

Went for the lunch buffet the food was terrible and server ignored us didn't even give up napkins. After we were done the price on sign out front was $9.99 but they charged $11.99 and didn't let you know your soft drinks were not part of the buffet. Horrible experience will never eat there again

The food was tasty, and the portion sizes were reasonable. Prices were typical for a cantina-style restaurant. The booths were located toward the back, providing a bit more privacy than usual. The service was outstanding; we didn't have to wait long to get our server's attention. They also offer a buffet at specific times, which we unfortunately missed, but it looked appealing.

La Mina Cantina has the best food! I usually order through Instacart, but this time I was out and about, so I decided to drive to the restaurant to pick up a to-go order. The restaurant itself is lovely, and the staff was super friendly. I didn't have to wait long at all. I ordered the three-plate combo, which included a shredded beef taco that I love, along with a cheese enchilada and chili relleno. Those are my favorites to get there, and they are absolutely delicious! View menu

I judge my Mexican restaurants through their chili Rellenos, beans, chips and salsa and La Mina achieved an A on all above. I had her lunch buffet $9.99. Little buffet, but everything was delicious. Today, the buffet includes rice, beans, enchiladas, chicken skins, chili rellenos (yum! , tortillas, bbq ribs and menudo with all fixations and some fresh fruits and pudding. The iced tea was in a huge Mason glass and if you ask, they will bring you chips and salsa. Perfect lunch?

This used to be our go to place to have drinks and appetizers but never again will we ever go. Since Isreal left the service is HORRIBLE. Our server didn't know anything about the restaurant she said we could only get the buffet when the buffet was already over. We waited over an hour just for our drinks and appetizer. Then had to wait another 40 mins for entree. We were sitting in the bar and there was only 1 other table there that had already been served so there were no excuses. There was no bartender. Obviously the server was new because she was so clueless about everything. The food wasn't good and To make matters worse I got SEVERE FOOD POISONING and feel absolutely miserable. As a res...

"I came here for the first time based on a coworkers recommendation. I had to come back a second time because I was craving the spring rolls on a hot day. For both of my visits I ordered takeout. During my first visit I ordered at the restaurant and the second time I ordered ahead for pick up. If you're going to take it to-go, ordering ahead is the way to go. I ordered through the yelp app and was able to schedule the food to be ready by the time I got off of work. They have a spacious dining area with many seating options but sadly I didn't have anyone to join me. So far I've tried the Bahn Mi sandwich, chicken spring rolls, beef spring rolls, crispy rolls, and the noodle beef bowl, and the Vietnamese coffee. Everything I've had has been tasty and generously portioned. You can make a few meals out of these dishes. The chicken spring rolls have been my favorite. The chicken is tender and flavorful. The dipping sauce a combo peanut chili sauce. I liked that it wasn't too thick like some peanut sauces can be. These also hold up well when transporting home. One thing that I would advise again is ordering the crispy rolls to go. By the time I got home they were a bit soggy and the lettuce wraps had wilted so those should be eaten at the restaurant. They were still really delicious and had a great vinegary dipping sauce. I'll definitely be back for more spring rolls. I also noticed they have some Korean options so I'll have to come back to try those too."
