"I hadn't been to Cantina in over a year, and the last time I visited, they were still at their old location. During my previous two visits, my wings—once a favorite—arrived soggy and over-breaded, and the tacos seemed to have shrunk. As a result, we stopped going entirely. Fast forward a year, and I noticed that Cantina has relocated. We decided to give it another shot and ordered all our old favorites. I'm happy to report that everything is back to the high-quality cuisine we remembered from before the pandemic. The mango wings were crispy and well-seasoned, the tacos were much improved, and the chips are still outstanding (definitely make sure to get some chips). I'm thrilled to see this place back to its former glory."

The service here was great but the food wasn’t it for me. It was that thing when it’s mad dry and has too much tortilla even tho there are more than enough ingredients? Loved the outside seating though!

The atmosphere is lively and the place draws a nice crowd. The servers are friendly and engaging. Their food does not quite meet my expectations and the drinks don't have much of a kick. Not likely to revisit... View menu

One of the most affordable and tasty happy hours in Harlem! The $3 tacos on taco Tuesday are also a great deal, try the chili lime chicken ones. Good service and a chill atmosphere outside with a more lively one inside.

I visited during happy hour and I have to say, the atmosphere was fantastic! The snacks were delicious and our bartender, Dujon, was outstanding. He managed the service for the entire place while still ensuring our drinks and food arrived promptly. The margaritas were both tasty and strong. I will definitely be stopping by after work for happy hour again!

Cantina is a really cool place to hang out with friends or meet new people. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive. My favorite dish is the sea red Tijuana Steak scarf, but the Mango backpack and Sriracha shrimp are also excellent choices. The frozen drinks are fantastic—especially the passion fruit margarita. I have no complaints at all! View menu

I never leave reviews, but I have to go today. The food was so tastyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyj (I had I dance on my place on my place) . The Jerk Chicken Tacos was DE-Lish-ous and the Steak Quesadilla should die for. The host was excellent, great customer service. I'm definitely back. Happy Hour calls me back this week.

The tacos where amazing and so are the flavor margaritas specially the passion fruit. If you come here to celebrate a birthday do not expect a cake because they don't have one. The decor and ambience was conformable and the music was loud enough to have a conversation with someone. The bathroom decor was nice and it also seemed to be disabled friendly, however, there are stairs before you enter the place with no ramp. Overall my experience at cantina was great and I will come again.

"We went to Bread N Wine on a early Saturday afternoon for brunch. We were greeted and seated by the servers who were attentive. The food was okay the bread was really soft and fresh. My partner got the French Lentil Soup, Spinach and Tomato Egg Bake andI got the French onion soup, egg omelette with spicy tomato avocado and onions. I wasn 't happy with my omelette because thespicy just meant it was covered in hot sauce within. For beverages, we got chai lattes (we later found out it wasn 't tea basedbut rather coffee) and we had the option of oat milk, almond milk or regular milk. In terms of our overall experience we feltby the end too many things were steering the experience south; the worst was when we were accused of using counterfeit money topay for the tip. There was no special marker used to prove that the money was counterfeit or technology to back up this claim.That experience alone left a bad taste in our mouth as we left embarrassed by that claim, kind of shook from that, we stilladded the tip to our credit card 18%. As we walked out and talked about how weird that was, the owner of the business nextdoor overheard us and asked to see the $20 bill he showed us that our money was real and validated what we knew, that themoney wasn 't counterfeit. When we went back into Bread N Wine to discuss this there was no apology, just well, it felt thatway , shrug. It left a terrible feeling. We would not go back after that, this is not how you treat customers from start tofinish, hence the 2 star review."
