    The hostess was nice and friendly. The service from Cloey was not good. She was not knowledgeable about the items on the menu. Maybe she's never eaten here. The food was NOT Mexican food. It was not tasty.

    I frequent this place often for a date night and they never disappoint. And the drinks are on point

    Shrimp taco with chips and salsa

    Food was great! I had a ginger beer (non alcoholic) chips and salsa with a shrimp taco. I enjoyed it here. It was the perfect day to enjoy a meal outside. I went during the lunch rush but I was taken care of in a decent manner and my server checked in on me regularly. I would definitely eat here again.

    Cantina 76 never disappoints with the delicious tacos at very affordable prices We were greeted and seated upon arrival. The service was fast and the waitress was attentive. They offer specials everyday and the waitress explained everything thoroughly. The guacamole is always fresh and the chips are always hot. The tacos are delicious with fresh ingredients. A great variety to choose from including vegetarian options. The atmosphere is always very chill. In addition to the indoor dining room and bar area. Outside patio seating is also available. Parking can be a hassle.

    Yummy Tacos. Salsa and queso was delicious. Speedy and friendly service. Clean environment

    Not a fan of the overpriced small entree type restaurant. We were very hungry though and it was late. Very small tacos and nacho plate as well. Food quality was very good but once again we felt that there was absolutely not much value for the items received. We will probably not revisit.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while. We got into the Devine St. location with no wait at all. I know different days call for different wait times so I can't hold it against the Main St. location, especially since downtown Columbia is way busier. The server was super nice and was attentive to us straight out the gate. We got the dirty queso which was different than anything I've had and was immaculate. I also got the chimichanga as my meal, and if you're the type to like fried burritos like I do, this is the go to spot. The cheese was gooey, and the roasted chicken was seasoned well. I'm a big Mexican rice person so I wish I would've had more of that under the chimichanga. Overall, I'd recommend this place for Sunday lunches and date nights. Super yummy.

    Went here with someone. The hostess was so kind. Our waitress was great. I had the chicken quesadilla and it was such a large portion! So yummy, i wish my date ordered me drinks but didn't get to try them. They ordered two tacos!

    Cantina is one of our favorite places to eat, chill, bring friends, and just have a good time. Sis in love is in town so we decided to take everyone there. It was super busy because it's cinco de mayo weekend and uofsc students were graduating so it was about a 35-40 minute wait which isn't too bad for a Friday night. They had a list of really good drink specials but the one that caught my eye was a strawberry coconut margarita so of course I had to get it. I think it was a great choice. I chose Luna azul for my liquor and the drink was strong but not too strong. I could definitely taste the strawberry but just a hint of coconut. It does have a sugar rim so that also helped with the aesthetic of the drink. I also got a grilled fish taco and a chicken pesto taco. The grilled fish taco comes with jalapeños but I chose without. It was a smidge salty but the flavor was really good. You can definitely taste the fish but the sauce is really the star of the show. Hint of spice with a little tang to cut the fish flavor. Definitely always a go to. I tried the chicken pesto cuz I don't think I've seen it on their menu before. I got it without pico cuz I don't like it and honestly it was perfect. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was really flavorful, not too salty. The lettuce gave it a nice texture and gave the taco some freshness. The pesto sauce was so good, it really was what made the taco come together. It was a 10/10. I would definitely try that one if you come.

    Whether it's lunch, dinner, happy hour, or Taco Tuesday, you'll love Cantina! Cantina is always stellar with their tacos and their margs will always make for a great time!

For…read morecontext, I had come here once before, and left somewhat unimpressed with the experience that I had. However, I decided to give Craft and Draft another shot, and I'm definitely glad that I did. Unbeknownst to me, they were holding "trivia night" on the night that I went, which drew a pretty large and lively crowd. While I think that the inside volume was turned up a little too high, it did serve to loosen everybody up, as I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the other patrons, who were all very kind and sociable. I also got to check out the back patio for the first time, which was fun, but not quite as notable as some of the other taproom patios that I've been to. In addition, despite the fact that they had heaters on the patio, they didn't seem to be emanating much heat, as it remained pretty cold outside. What I did like was the fact that there was a pizza truck outside, which was making wood-fired pizzas on the spot, and which looked great! (I didn't have one myself, but everybody I asked told me that they tasted great as well.) As for the beers... they were pretty solid! On draft, I got one of the Burial IPAs, which was 8% ACV, and tasted pretty good as well! My friend said that the beer that they got out of the refrigerator was good as well, and that they had a lot of beers that they had never seen or heard of before. As for me, I noticed that they had one canned beer that was 9.5% ACV, which I had never seen before either! The two (2) bartenders working that night were really cool, knew their beers, and definitely made me and my friend feel welcomed. All-in-all, Craft and Draft was a pretty fun taproom, which *might* be a little better in the warmer months versus the cooler ones. Despite this, I'd still recommend stopping by to grab some unique brews, and enjoy the lively but not overly hectic atmosphere.

They have a great space with plenty of seating, both indoors and out. They have TVs throughout the brewery so watching a game there is probably pretty easy. I started with the onion rings and then went with the double smash burger and I have to say it was solid. They also have a great selection of beers which included several guest taps. My only piece of constructive criticism is that when I got my 3 growlers filled at the end of my visit (because they have good beer and I wanted to drink more later), my growlers were neither sealed nor labeled. For those that don't know, breweries usually label the growlers with beer your ordered and seal it so it doesn't leak. I've only ever run into this once before, it was in Amarillo, TX. I didn't make a fuss about it but it didn't come off as the most professional or polished in that respect. I'd really like to see them reexamine this part of their operation and possibly consider branded labels for the growlers (so that you know what you're drinking) and branded caps (their dog logo would fit perfectly and be a good way to rep the brand). Overall, I had a great visit. But I'll inquire before getting my growlers filled again.

It delivered on smokiness to the point of entertaining me too! My glass of rose was great, a normal choice for me. The gumbo had excellent flavor and the small whole bird on top was such an interesting presentation. The crispy skin had great flavor as did the chicken itself, complemented the creole flavor of the gumbo perfectly. I hate to admit that the tomato broth, dare I say gravy, kind of stole the flavor show. We both loved it. I nearly forgot I had grilled bread to accompany it as I was spooning up mussels and the delightfully flavorful tomato broth. Service was totally on point until the very end, when getting our check was a bit slow. We had a new server respond to our rescue though, and they did discount our check a bit, which was more than we were expecting. The seating arrangement for us ended up being at a communal long dining table, not a private booth. It wasn't our first date, and we loved being in the middle of the room and watching all of the dishes and drinks flow by. The view of the booth tables by the window would also make for a great view when the street is busy with ample people watching. Great experience, would definitely recommend. Take note, they do not take reservations so either come early or allow time to wait.
