Wasn't coming for brunch so I wasn't expecting that menu but they let us order from the regular menu which was great. Service was a bit slow so don't expect things too quick. Food was good, portions were generous. read more

Came here for happy hour. They have a great deal that lasts until 8pm every day. They have $2 off drafts, wine, $7 margaritas and also some food on happy hour. We got the buffalo cauliflower which was just cauliflower with buffalo sauce on it. Honestly, healthier but definitely lacking any finesse. We also got the nachos which were actually pretty delicious. I got a paloma which was a little on the sweet side, but pretty good. The service here is average, nothing to write home about. Vibes were OK! During happy hour it was packed, but literally as soon as happy hour was over, the place emptied out. Overall, a pretty good place to stop in for a drink before you go somewhere else. I would probably eat somewhere else, but great for happy hour. read more

For the two of us, we had two beers each and two tacos each. Tax, tip, out the door $80. Literally the worst tacos of my life. (To be clear, I ordered it. It's not like I was surprised by the check. The bill was on me. I ordered chips and salsa as well. $7 for literally 1/3 of a paper tray of chips. Trio of salsas that were clearly from a jar, and probably 10-15 chips. Seriously. 10-15. It was laughable. The bottom of the little paper tray was barely covered.) It took the waitress about 30 minutes to come back and see if we wanted any food, which is why we were there. We should've noticed no one else was eating. We SHOULD have taken a cue from the bad chips situation. But we were starving. We each ordered two tacos, which were reasonably priced at five dollars, but they were absolutely awful, and served on cheap paper plates. No silverware to be found. Not even plastic. Like I said, I should've taken a queue from everybody around me, this is clearly a place you go to drink. And truth be told, the drink prices weren't bad. The space isn't bad, it was very loud, but it was fine. But oh my God, don't eat here. read more

Happy hour is pretty good here but the tacos are a little overpriced for what you get. I got a Paloma which was overly sweet which it shouldn't be at all. The Al pastor tacos has red chile de arbol sauce on it which is an odd addition to an Al pastor taco. They were good but not mind blowing. The servers were very attentive and the atmosphere gave a classic cantina vibe but it's unfortunate that they don't give free chips and salsa. read more

It is such a cute place for a pregame or a yap session dinner out with your friends! I loved how dark it is in there and how the decorations are similar to streets of Mexico. The servers are always making rounds so you can get many drinks. They also have happy hour every day 4-8! The steak nachos were delicious and I got 3 drinks of Purple Rain. Purple rain reminds me of a pina colada but with lychee pureé! read more

I found another winner, and the winner is 345 Cantina. In search of a quick spot to grab a bite with my best friend, my best friend recommended 345 Cantina. The restaurant has a festive vibe and a staff that is ready to make your experience a memorable one. I enjoyed a frozen margarita and chicken tacos. The moment I took a bite, the flavor nearly knocked me off my seat. It's been a minute since I've tasted a taco with such flavor. If you go to 345 Cantina, you will be treated to a meal filled with fantastic flavor and service that can't be beaten. Im looking forward to making a return trip very shortly. read more

345 blew my expectations out of the water! My partner and I were looking for a new happy hour spot to try and found this gem pop up on yelp. We were able to grab a resy the same day. Their happy hour has deals on sangria, frozen margs, beer, and of course tacos (pastor and chicken). We also ordered a few items off the regular menu too - the queso fundido with chorizo was incredible (pro tip, ask for chips instead!). I also really enjoyed the shrimp (camaron) taco! All in all we really enjoyed the food/drink here. Atmosphere was cool too, with a lot of neon and comedic signs inside. Not too much indoor seating but there is an outdoor area which I'm sure will be nice as it warms up. read more

Great happy hour specials, which is why I stopped in. Happy hour lasts until 8pm!!! Those are several happy hours every day (including Taco Tuesday specials). $6 margs, discounts on beers, $3.5 on select tacos. I made a reservation through Yelp, which was so easy! Staff was ready for us when we arrived. Service is quick to help, take orders, and keep your drinks full. The Pollo happy hour taco was spicier than I expected, but the Mushroom taco was SOOO good. The guac was very flavorful. The elote wasn't my favorite (tasted like parm cheese). It can get quite loud in here, just FYI. read more

I love coming during happy hour, grabbing a tamarind marg, eating a couple tacos and watching the people claw their way into Schmuck across the street. Who needs a long line when you can get a reliable, delicious fun time with great service and no frills? (No hate to Schmuck or its custies... I just love checking out new restaurant hype from afar.) read more

My friends and I came to Cantina 345 for a Comedy Show and our experience there was great. I mean the show was good but along with the show, the place is beautiful, Mexican decoration is colorful and nice. The food was so good, we only had tacos but we tried all the types of tacos they have and they were really good. (I heard happy hour is good too). We had mezcalitas for drinks of different flavors and they were tasteful and well made. Service was on point from the bartender to the servers. We will be back to try happy hour, no doubt. read more

Carry with care. But it was very delicious. Carne asada was good. I wish there was more veggies. If you are a mushroom person then get the Champinones & queso Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $10-20 Recommended dishes Carne Asada read more

Perfect little Happy Hour spot in the East Village. We went at 5.30pm on Taco Tuesday with a reservation but you could have walked in without one . They have indoor and outdoor seating, we chose indoor. I think it was cooler inside and you could hear the music good. Started with a frozen strawberry margarita which I think was $6 . My friend had draft Modelo beer , I think the pint was the same price. We got the guacamole and chips which were really good. Flavorful guacamole and I definitely recommend this. For tacos we ordered from the Taco Tuesday menu which is $3.50 each. We had 3 each and it was pretty filling. The Mushroom Taco was very earthy . But my favorite was the Fish Taco , it came with a nice purple slaw and had a really tasty sauce on top. Also it was fried nice and crisp. Definitely good with a couple drinks . I also tried the Paloma drink for $7 and it was really refreshing with tequila and grapefruit soda I think, and a grapefruit salt rim. Really charming. Staff are professional and very nice . If you're in the East Village near 6th street you should stop in and check them out . read more

The food was OK. I did like the Mushroom Taco alot, the Pulled Pork taco wasn't bad either. The guacamole was OK, I did find a hair on the chips so that was kind of discouraging. The frozen margaritas were on happy hour for $6 and they were just OK as well. The place ambiance was OK. We sat inside and it was way too hot, there's no air conditioning only in the bar not in the area for dining. Nor do they have any fans inside. We moved outdoors to maybe get air from the fans that are placed outside and it was still no circulation. The service was just OK as well. The female server seemed to not want to be working and wasn't really attentive at all. She just seemed to be annoyed. Overall I don't recommend this place. There's so many Mexican restaurants to choose from that will have better service. read more

Serious bar collection. Only 2 mezcal drinks & both are super sweet. If you get the mezcalito ask them to dial back on the simple syrup. Otherwise very tasty. Tahini rimmed! Thank you very much! Cannot speak to food but this could be in the rotation . read more

Such a cute place! Came here for my 30th birthday and it was the perfect spot. Festive, colorful, not too loud, and everyone who worked there was sooo nice. Good drinks, the signature drink was a bit sweet but good, and came with an awesome skull shaped ice cube. The nachos and chips and salsa were good, salmon was fine, and they brought complimentary champagne, flan, and churros which was super sweet and appreciated. Very good customer service and they made it a special night. read more

Joke of a staff. Decided to show national championship game then turn it off 30 seconds before the end cos they wanted to go home... just ignored everyone's requests to turn it back on. If you're going to do that to people just tell them like 15 minutes before so they can find a different and less overpriced place to spend the final moments of a major sporting event. read more

ROACHES. We finished our meals (delicious, but now idk how to feel) and out of nowhere a cockroach started CRAWLING ON THE TABLE and sadly I didn't notice until it crawled onto my hand.. the server apologized profusely and offered a discount. We will not be going back. read more

Daughter moved to NYC last year and we've been looking for a legit Mexican place in NYC. We are from San Diego and we arguably have the best Mexican food in the States. I've also been numerous times to Baja California where food is amazing. This includes Tijuana, Rosarito, Enseñada, Valle de Guadalupe, and Cabo. We started with the nachos and it was amazing. I followed it up with birria tacos w/consomé, was very yummy, and coming from a guy who makes birria time to time. I also had their Mescal based drink that was refreshing and not too sweet, plus delicious. I usually do not write reviews, but I see the Mexican food scene starting in NYC. I've been to Tacos #1 in the Chelsea market, and that is the only other place the compares to Mexican food I'm use to out of many others I've tried in the city. Well done Cantina 345, we'll be back. read more

We informed the waiter, Jose, that we were there for happy hour. The frozen margarita special caught our attention, and he offered us the choice of having it frozen or on the rocks. We were pleased to have the option, so we decided to go with on the rocks. However, when the bill came, we noticed we were charged full price for our margaritas and were told they weren't included in the happy hour deal. This felt a bit deceptive and misleading. We asked to speak with the manager, explaining that the happy hour pricing for margaritas wasn't clearly communicated when we explained we were there for happy hour and were given the choice between frozen and on the rocks. He dismissively brushed off our concerns, insisting that only the frozen drinks were part of the special, then laughed and gave us an attitude. I think the main issue we encountered was more about principle than the money, and the manager's dismissive attitude made it clear he didn't care whether his customers would return to his establishment. read more

Great food, friendly staff. . Have eaten here a few times and have always been treated well.

Being Mexican and raised in Texas, the hardest part of moving to New York has been the lack of good Mexican food here. I stumbled on this place and was so impressed by the great food and deals! I wish we'd gone when I was hungrier because I wanted to try more of their menu. Can't wait to go back! read more

This place has a great Happy Hour, great margaritas and good service. The tacos are inexpensive but the other drinks on the menu leave something be desired. My friend enjoyed his arepas, it was a casual Sunday afternoon brunch. The only issue is the drinks are sweet so if you're sugar sensitive I would ask for a less sweetened drink, half the sugar would be a great fit. They have outdoor seating and will bring you a tin for the dog. The frozen margaritas are definitely sweet but they have a really good HH from 4-8 daily. A great casual spot. read more
