We had a 50th birthday party and booked out the entire Cantina for 40 plus guests. Elisa was wonderful to deal with when planning and the team led by Kayla delivered on all the details we had discussed. All the guests raved about the food and plenty of kick from all the delicious cocktails and frozen margaritas. Would recommend for any similar occasion, Elisa and the team made the birthday girl feel very special.

We had a lovely time at Cantina. The service was friendly and prompt, the food was delicious - especially the fried chicken! The restaurant is a cafe during the day and Mexican restaurant at night which is a clever use of the space. Thanks for a great meal and drinks!

Great food. Lovely staff :) and there was even a Latin dance class!! Such a fun night.

We made a reservation for 4 at 5pm on Friday night. The service was brilliant from the start and not crowded at all. We got 4 plates to share plus guacamole to start. Everything was delicious and the cocktails were fabulous. Definitely heading back again soon.

Always a great experience at the Cantina! My partner & I come for drinks & a meal most Thursday evenings to catch up & it’s a huge highlight for us. Kayla always greets us with a warm smile & makes us feel welcomed. 5 stars

Hidden gem with great food, during the he day this is a regular option for us in Rangiora, but we were delighted with the evening offer as a Mexican Cantina. we shared a few small plates to start and everything was delicious and well cooked. Service was excellent and atmosphere was upbeat and a bit of fun. Highly recommend if you want a great meal or just an entertaining night out. Definitely try the cocktails!
