Nice little taco place next to the ice hogs stadium, got the steak burrito and Birria tacos. Burrito and tacos were really good. Everything tasted fresh, not greasy. Also, the horchata was great too. Will definitely come back, moderate prices not too expensive 13.00 for the burrito 13.00 for the 3 birria tacos

We tried a variety of tacos, they were all delicious. The Birria taco with beef was amazing. The cookies are phenomenal. Best of all, was the very sweet taco lady that took care of us. And a shout out to the building security guard who kept two ladies safe.

Hey Everyone, Yet another adventure to share, taco’s today was my choice in Downtown Rockford! I’ve always wanted to try this place so, today was my day for it! I was with two of my friends where one ordered Barria tacos, the other chicken and I had the ground beef. I tried the avocado salsa which was great on my tacos. It complimented the ingredients nicely together. The menu is a create your own method to choose the desired ingredients you want on your tacos.

I would very much consider myself a taco fan. And Cantina Taco had me cheering for joy! I'm so very pleased with my experience that I can't wait to come back, yes, it's that good! I fortunately went on a Tuesday and got the special taco trio that also comes with free rice and beans. You can also choose whatever salasas you'd like to enjoy with your meal. The tacos were so fresh, so flavorful, almost otherworldly in a sense that I wished for each succulent bite to never end. Even the rice and beans had incredible depth of flavor, and I've had some very bland sides from other local taco places so this really sets the bar high. They have so many other options for you to choose, like burritos and rice bowls, quesadillas and nachos, the list goes on and on. The servers are very kind and cour
