Skinny's Cantina

Food was OK but not anything memorable. Atmosphere was dated with good music that was a little too loud to hold a conversation. I went with the family so probably not the venue for young kids. Highlight were the servers. Everyone was happy, helpful and provided prompt service. The tip was added into the bill. Chicken tacos were marked as $16 on the menu but the bill charged $17. Drinks were great especially the spicy tequila ones.

Service was good. Waitress was attentive, friendly and my water glass was never empty. Now to the food. I didn't get a full entree just because the menu wasn't so selective so I stuck to an appetizer of calamari and chips with salsa. I asked for pico de gallo in particular, I had a hankering for tomatoes. Calamari is supposed to be lightly breaded and fried, these were coated to the point where I was just eating straight coating. After a while I gave up and started breaking off this dry crust only to reveal the smallest little rings. It looked like a plate of burnt Spaghetti Os the the time i was done. The chips were stale and cold, pico de gallo was the only enjoyable part only that the tomatoes weren't chopped fully so I'd get chunks of tomatoes throughout my little serving. Now to pricing. On thier online menu (that I had to pull up online), it states gratuity is included which is fine I figured if they're including their tip the food and service must be worth it. When I got the check in big bold letters at the bottom it says gratuity NOT included. So I'm looking at this $48 BILL and thinking what??? They charge sale tax, credit card fee,sub w/ tax etc. At this point I'm like screw it this place was horrible and I've learned my lesson. Pay and get the hell out. Oh BTW their bathrooms smell worse than the public city bathrooms down the block. I Repeat, Their Bathrooms Smell Worse Than The Public City Bathrooms.

Indulging in a mesmerizing sunset backdrop, we embarked on a culinary journey at this delightful establishment. Our palate adventure commenced with a vibrant corn salad, followed by the mouthwatering embrace of a succulent chicken burrito and a decadent cascade of melted cheese. Each bite revealed the authentic essence of Mexican cuisine, boasting tantalizing flavors that transported us to the bustling streets of Mexico. A truly memorable dining experience brimming with taste and authenticity.

Went here for lunch (specifically to get the nachos) and were initially told that it was brunch-menu only. However, we got it sorted out as the regular lunch/dinner menu is listed as active every day. The nachos are REALLY good! Specifically the sauce and cheese they use, and not-over-salted tortilla chips, make it very tasty. The guac was pretty typical. The street corn was also very tasty: served warm in a cup and paired well on simple tortilla chips. If you go, I’d recommend getting the nachos.

Went on a busy afternoon expecting slow service because it took a while to get seated but once seen we were greeted my opinion changed, we were kindly seated. Service was great food came out good they kept making sure we had everything we needed!

To start the service was great. Nice servers and waiters were attentive. My wife and I ordered drinks. She got the Mexican mule and I got the South of The Border. My wife loved her drink and mine literally tasted like a boot with the laces still in. BUT it had a real kick(lol) and I was feeling it. The amount of food was underwhelming but my burrito was okay at best and my wife said her quesadilla didn’t have much flavor. They weren’t horrible but nothing to yell about. After chips, salsa, burrito, quesadilla and 2 drinks. I spent $100 flat. A little more than I have spent on the same exact amount of food else where. But I guess the location is what did it. Either way. I may not be back. But give them a try. You may enjoy it more than we did.

The margaritas are great, they are very strong and worth the price. The servers and staff are very attentive and the food, omg I didn't have high expectations, but it was all very flavorful and filling and not bad for the price. I will definitely be going back because it's worth it not just due to the great food and drinks but the atmosphere is so chill.
