Love this location Great service, food and drinks. Jamel, Brianna and Daniel are my FAVES. Nice outdoor set up and good Happy Hour.

Cantina is emblematic of many NY Mexican-themed spots: pretty on the surface, but a bit iffy on the execution. Located within the Ridge Hill courtyard space (#1), it is one of the only Mexican options in the area, which is only more helpful for their niche. Be it in the festive interior or the people-watching outdoor space, there is an excellent variety of dedicated spaces for groups big and small. They have TVs all along the interior showing sports and the bathrooms are clean. Service generally friendly, but a select few might be a it too invested in their phones. The food is Mexican'ish, but very little of it can be called authentic especially if they're serving empanadas, platanos, If it weren't obvious enough, this is not authentic Mexican food. Even calling it Mexican-inspired might be a tad of a reach, considering they also serve empanadas, tostones,, etc. Come for a good time, but don't make it about tacos and tequila. The food was expectedly a bit bland. There were some stale bits for large nachos, which had a good amount (perhaps, too much?) pico de gallo. Quesadillas were a very nice portion and good amount of stuffing. While I haven't tried their tacos, seeing as they put in copious amounts of lettuce, pico, and cotija cheese; I'm not particularly eager to do so. The enchiladas verdes was the priciest brunch option and certainly among the most hearty. The presentation was good and the chicken for the filling was the right choice. I was also able to grab some bites of the pancakes, which fared remarkably better. I now understand why avocado toast is an option on their brunch menu. I realize most folks are here for margaritas and a good time, but seeing as they're trying to also be a brunch option, I think folks might be better off focusing on the latter. __________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/ridge-hill-yonkers read more

Guac & Fish and shrimp tacos were the only things in the menu worth going for. The steak, pulled pork, pork belly and chicken, were flavorless and not appetizing. read more

Cantina is conveniently located in the Ridge Hill shopping center. There is some street parking, if you're lucky, or a nearby parking garage. I was able to catch the tail end of happy hour to enjoy some tacos and margaritas. I had the jerk mango and shrimp tacos, as well as a couple spicy margarita. All were fantastic! read more

This is one of my favorite Fusion Taco spots. The prices affordable and food is perfectly creative and tastefully balanced. It is located at the Ridge Hill Mall next to Legoland Discovery Zone & TJmaxx. This shopping center has ample paid parking: $5.00 for upto 3 hours. It also has a Showcase Movie Theater. The Cantina is the perfect place to pick up a light snack after Shopping shopping around in this large outdoor mall, dining in for a lunch date or family dinner. It has a large seating space that can accommodate up to 30 tables of 4. Reservations are welcomed and recommended, especially on the weekends. They have afternoon happy hour from 3pm -7pm Mon-Fri. S7 margarita starring happy hour. Happy hour tacos start from 3:25 to 3.95 I ordered three tacos, the battered fish taco, the pulled pork taco, and the pork belly taco. Each one was nicely, salted and drizzled with a different sauce, generously and the combination of the textures between the meat, and the sauce was bursting with flavor.. keep in mind the food is generously salted so if you don't want a glass salt, ask if they can lightly salt the meat. The hostess was friendly and service was quick. The restaurant was kept clean and organized.. I highly recommend trying this taco restaurant. It's all good. Vibe: Festive and has Hispanic music playing in the background really cool vibe. It has a men's and women's restroom and is handicap accessible. It doors have hooks for your bags and coats. read more

The customer service is friendly and warm. I had the tacos which were great although the meat, specifically the chicken was very salty taking away from how good the tacos could have been. I would go back read more

I shop regularly at Ridge Hill, and decided to try something new for lunch, and I'm so glad that I did. As a solo diner, you can sometimes be overlooked, so I was pleasantly surprised with the attentive and cheerful service I received. Everything was on point: yummy food that didn't take forever to arrive, my server checking in regularly and clean & pleasant surroundings. I was so impressed, that I complimented the manager, Wai, who couldn't have been nicer. Let's be honest: a lot of restaurants make you feel like a burden when you just want to enjoy a meal that you didn't have to cook yourself and I definitely didn't feel that way here. I wish Cantina much success, and look forward to coming back soon! read more

2.5 The location is perfect and I personally enjoyed the outdoor dining. While waiting for my food I had a pineapple mojito. Very basic yet not in good "basic" mojito way if that makes sense. The chips and salsa were a little disappointing. It was not even tostinos salsa it was the salsa you put on tacos at mexicana taquerias. The tacos were ok...I guess. Listen the food is very American and not in a tex-mex way either. It personally did not give a Latin flare in anything. I will say for a busy summer Saturday night I was impressed with the customer service and level of attention. read more

First time diner and wanted to take advantage of the Happy Hour Menu. Place provides outside seating in the summer months which is great on a nice breezy day like today. I truly adore the color of outer restaurant it's very vibrant. Margaritas are a must try In had a passion fruit with tajin. My favorite tacos were the steak, shrimp and pork. Can't wait to come again. Tacos are mini great for trying a lot at a time. I thought guacamole would be made table side for the extra touch but unfortunately they didn't do that. read more

I've been to Cantina in Ridge Hill a few times since it opened, and while there's definitely potential, it's still working out some kinks. On this visit, it was really crowded and we didn't feel like waiting for a table, so we grabbed a couple of open seats at the bar. It took a while for someone to take our order, and when they finally did, the drinks came out wrong. That said, they made it right by not charging us for the mix-up and letting us take to-go cups with our corrected drinks--which were actually pretty good. One small funny moment: the manager was dressed like a regular customer, so I had no idea he even worked there until he greeted us. Friendly guy, just a little confusing at first! Service overall was still solid despite the hiccups. As for the food: the fish and shrimp tacos were great, and I liked the quesadillas. The Mango Jerk, Pork Belly, and Pulled Pork tacos weren't bad either. The chicken fajitas, wings, and plantains were just okay--kind of mid. Ambiance is nice, the vibe is lively, and happy hour prices are pretty decent. I'm giving it 3 stars for now, but I see a lot of potential. I'll be back to see how they keep improving. read more

Something told me not to eat the tacos based on the appearance but I was so hungry and sometimes you don't feel like sending food back. The food is not fresh I am now sick after eating here. Only come for drinks if you must. I hate when restaurants cut corners to save money. This is dangerous! People are people this is their bodies. Just do the right thing. Cmon read more

Food was very good. The salsa was so flavorful and the drinks are on point. I can't get enough of the fish tacos. The only issue I have is with the waitstaff. My server greeted us right away and she was very pleasant but came to our table chewing food and patting her weave lol. Like come on really! read more

The service was excellent. Food was good too. Guac needs a bit more tex-mex flavor, but still good. I've heard the night vibe is energetic. It's a new business so I pray for their success. read more

The server sat us by the front glass windows, and unfortunately, the sun was directly in my eyes. We politely asked to be moved, but the server mentioned that no other tables were available at the time. This was a bit of a disappointment, but the tacos were excellent. I tried three different varieties, and each was flavorful and well-prepared. It is not easy to find good tacos, but this place definitely delivered. read more

Food was top shelf. Service was terrific. Atmosphere was fun. A good family outing. Try it

For my 1st time at this spot definitely overall I give it a 2/10 , 1st they lied about playing the boxing fight just to get people to come waste time, on the walk in place wasn't even busy but all the workers look lost, it was so much tables but they sat us right next to a crowded table, the ambience was dark music super loud you couldn't even hear yourself talk, The food came out fast the food a 4/10. The rum punch was the only good thing I had yesterday. Never again this spot could've stayed closed. Definitely was a waste of money read more
