Cantina Mexicana

Cantina really delivered the full “I should’ve stayed home” experience. We waited so long for our food that I started ageing like a fine wine — by the time it arrived I swear I was a different person. And the food? Cold, soggy, and somehow managed to taste tired. It was like they cooked it, gave it a motivational speech, and then let it sit in a corner to rethink its life choices. Honestly, if you’re looking for a meal that disappoints you on every level, this place has you covered. Won’t be back — once was enough trauma for me sold hour and a half wait all for that.

We loved this place. Lovely staff and deliciously fresh food. We came at a quiet time, Sunday 12p.m The service was perfect. The mojito jug was lovely. The cantina fries with chipotle were perfectly fried. The deep fried jalapenos were moreish. The grilled prawn quesadilla was perfection. The grilled fish tacos were divine. We are so glad we read a few good reviews & gave this place a try. We will definitely be back when next in Bendigo.

9.5.25 Great food, service was lovely. A friend and I shared some food & a cheeky Margaritas. Had the corn which was so delicious. Also had the loaded fries with beef brisket, then shared a chimichanga with chicken. Will be back soon.

Love the food, atmosphere here. Lovely staff member served us with a bright smile over her face all the time. She greeted us and make sure we got everything alright by checking back on us. 10/10 for service. Great ambiance.

Had a great experience here. The food was fantastic and the Ladd is very children friendly (even has a play area at the back). The fried jalapeños was something to brag about and the... you know what, everything we ordered was great, hard to fault. Maybe wish the serving was bigger :p

The tacos were amazing 😻 I’d definitely come again and also the stuff very friendly and nice 🩵

Visited again after many years, still the same great fun vibe in the restaurant. Food wasn't quite as good our visit 4 years ago but still good well priced food and drinks.

Food was terrific menu was different but really good. Every meal 🥘 was excellent and friendly service and atmosphere.

Unfortunately it took three attempts to get my order, and eventually I got a refund for my missing meal. Ordered online direct with the restaurant, and came to pick up my order. The restaurant is very noisy and I was handed two bags. I took them back to my mum's house and realised that it was not my order. Rang them and arranged to bring the wrong order back to get the right order. Went back to the restaurant (second time) and was given a bag. Made them wait while I checked if it was right. It was still missing items, and lo and behold, there was another bag with my items they had not given me. Checked this one and it seemed to be right and I left. Got back again and realised my own meal was the only one missing. Went back again (third time), and demanded a refund of my meal. The refund was difficult to process and eventually went through. While this was happening it came about that they no longer had any record of the order. I will not be back. Far too much stuffing around to get my order and refund.

Honestly loved it, even tho for me i felt that there wasn't enough food options, and low amounts of food on the plates, but that's probably because i like having loads of different option and i like food. Definitely will try again!
