★★★★★ 5.0 Lissa Medlin · Feb 2026

If you’re looking for a fun, flavorful meal with a lively atmosphere in South Carolina, Cantina 76 delivers a standout casual dining experience. This locally-loved Mexican-inspired restaurant and bar consistently earns high marks for its creative menu, fresh ingredients, and signature handcrafted margaritas — perfect for lunch, dinner, or happy hour.  From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and upbeat, striking that ideal balance between laid-back and lively. The menu offers a wide variety of inventive tacos — from the tangy Peruvian shrimp to smoky BBQ brisket and zesty blackened shrimp — all of which burst with Tex-Mex flair and bold flavors. Sides like the dirty queso and fresh guacamole paired beautifully with crisp tortilla chips, setting the tone for an excellent meal

Bekah at Cantina 76 was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she created such a welcoming, fun atmosphere at our table. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. Cantina 76 already has great food and drinks, but Bekah’s service made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back and asking for her again. Highly recommend!

A group of my friends and I came in the other day and had a really nice time! We really appreciated the genuine customer service from our waitress Charly; who went above and beyond and really made our girls night out - a fun one! She was kind, authentic and such a joy to be around. Service like this makes you want to keep coming back! Margs were good too!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Madison Bateman · Feb 2026

Cantina did NOT disappoint! The food was fresh and flavorful, the vibe was lively, and the drinks were on point. Bekah was our bartender and she absolutely crushed it. She was quick, personable, and made incredible recommendations. Our margaritas were perfect, and she kept the energy upbeat all night. If you go, definitely hope you get Bekah behind the bar!

The day I came in to get some food, my wife and I had gotten into a real bad argument.. I must’ve looked distraught sitting at my table, because when Charly came over she asked how I was doing. I’m sure she didn’t really want to hear my problems, and I know she had other tables, but she took the time to hear me out and made me feel seen. As I looked around, I noticed her other tables seemed to be happy with their service as well. My food arrived in a very timely manner and it was delicious. Thank you, Cantina 76 for the great meal, but thank you Charly Medlynn most of all for the incredible service! My wife thanks you as well:)
