La Cantinita

This place is a hidden gem. The food is fresh and delicious, and the music creates a nice vibe. Unfortunately, it could really benefit from better marketing and stronger customer service. It feels like there’s a lot of untapped potential, but not enough motivation to elevate the overall experience for customers. Additionally, the heating situation needs attention—small portable heaters throughout the space look unappealing and take away from the ambiance. They previously had another location that was amazing, so it’s disappointing to see this one not living up to that same standard. Hopefully the owner and staff can identify what’s holding them back and bring this place to the level it deserves, because it truly has the potential to be one of the top spots on Long Island. We truly hope

I never complain or leave bad reviews because that’s not who I am and I worked at a restaurant for a few years so I understand how overwhelming and hectic busy nights can get but this place genuinely has to be the worst place I’ve ever been to service wise. I went with my friend for Valentine’s because my cousins had told me how good this spot was. The host and our waiter were nice I’m not going to lie and say they were rude but they were not attentive at all. First red flag was the QR code menus and when we got to our table they didn’t even ask for our drink orders it took 10 minutes for them to come over to us after being seated and we were the only people there besides 2 other people. Anyways I expected the pineapple frozen margarita to taste fruity but all I tasted was alcohol it was s

My husband and I love this place! We always sit at the bar and the staff is attentive and nice. The food is amazing and we always each get a margarita flight, the prices are a little on the higher end but I believe the quality of drinks and food is worth it. They have taco Tuesday deals and I highly recommend the empanadas as well, those are our go to! My mouth is watering just writing this review ahah, highly recommend this place! And the music is always fun and upbeat! We usually go when it isn’t busy, random Tuesday nights.

It's a beautiful establishment with wonderful people. Expertly cooked food. Extremely friendly and they were very good with the children as well. Music was at a louder level, appropriate for the atmosphere. It looked very well set up for watching sporting events as well.

Oh wow - what a beautiful hidden gem of a place! We went from an unplanned search for tacos. Parking lot was full. Outside decor is urban, funky, graffiti. Interesting. Then we walked in. We were unprepared for the decor - amazing club atmosphere, cool lighting, breathtaking wall art. I personally loved the dystopian Frida Kahlo. Food was incredible. We went for the Mucho Macho Nachos (decadently loaded nachos) and chicken wings. Drinks were ok - little on the lighter side. For the main course we went with tacos - the fish and volcano shrimp left a lasting impression and a craving to be back. The taco main portions (3 tacos) were large enough that we were unable to finish. Definitely looking forward to returning here.
