We ended up eating at the "new" La Cantina twice, once on 9/19 and once on 9/23. We sat outside for our first meal and inside for our second meal.

The menu is certainly a step up from the former La Cantina. I thought that my entrees were a bit small for the price (we were on the DDP, but next time we'll be paying OOP), but the tacos were tasty! There was a small cup of pico de gallo with the taco entrees. I ended up putting that on the tacos so I used some of the salsa that is available for my chips. The salsa is pepper based. I liked the green, milder salsa better than the red, hotter salsa. Having some cheese sauce or more pico de gallo for extra chip dip would have been nice, but I understand that would be more expensive to provide, too.

My ds liked his nachos and they are a big improvement from the nachos that used to be served at La Cantina.

The lime raspberry margarita was pretty good, but I didn't care for the coffee margarita. I like coffee and frozen coffee drinks. I like margaritas. This one drink just didn't appeal to me.

We all enjoyed the churros! I'm not sure if churros regularly come with the kid's meal or not. There was some confusion about this. We used the DDP on our first time there and were given the churros. For the second time we ate there, I had to pay OOP for dd's meal because it was our last day and I was out of credits. They gave her grapes (which she didn't get the 1st time) as dessert and we were charged for the churros. Not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it for those who are wondering what comes with the kid's meal.

All in all, we enjoyed our meals here. The food is decent and the atmosphere right on the water is fantastic!
 
Thank you for your review. I have a question about the coffee margarita... was it sweet? or just an odd combo of coffee and tequila? It sounded good on the menu and was glad to see you review it.

It did sound good on the menu, but to me the taste was just a bit off.

Everyone has different tastes though, so if you try it I hope you like it better than I did. The lime raspberry margarita was good, and I'll stick with the fruity flavors when it comes to margaritas in the future. I also had a fiesta margarita on a different Epcot day and that was yummy!
 

Thanks for the review! I'm really looking forward to trying this on my next trip!
 
You're welcome!

I read on the Food Porn thread that someone was able to ask for a sample of the margaritas before buying one. I wish I had known this because I would have sampled the coffee flavor and then would have bought a lime raspberry one to enjoy. If you're unsure about whether you'll like the margarita, ask for a sample.
 
Thanks for the review - the tacos look delish! This is the counter service place, right?
 
Thanks for hte review and hte photos! It looks like they added a lot more space! And the food looks good. I have always liked Cantina for a quick service option.
 
thanks for the reviews........do they still have guacomole as a side ??? I used to pay extra for it but it ws so darn good........thanks again

I'm not sure. I don't remember seeing it, but then again I wasn't specifically looking for guacomole so I might have overlooked it if it is there.
 
Thanks for the review & pictures...we stopped by there & just looked at the menu (had already eaten) but it's nice to see the actual food, too.

Gotta love a counter service with margarita fountain drinks...tequila for lunch, yum!
 
Looks delish! THank you for the review and pics.

BTW thank you for reviewing one restuarant at a time rather than one long thread.
