    The dining room is LOUD! So we immediately switched our seats to the bar. It was a great move…read more We had a great time and could actually hear each other. We had the trio guacamole which included the bacon guacamole, corn guacamole and seafood guacamole. The corn was hands down the best. We then split the trio enchiladas, which included beef, seafood and chicken. Nice tequila selection. Recommend this place, but can only voucher for the bar.

    We'd been in Dresher visiting the Rose Bridge Farm and were looking for a place to have dinner. We…read moredecided to go to Ambler, which was about 10 minutes away. We had looked online and found a restaurant that featured burgers. We were walking to it when we passed Cantina Feliz. It was busy (which I interpreted to be a good sign) and looked very inviting. We decided to change plans and try this Mexican restaurant instead! Of course I always start a meal at a Mexican restaurant with the guacamole. Our server recommended the Esquites Guacamole, which has grilled corn, lime aioli and a sprinkling of queso fresco (traditional Mexican cheese). It was one of the tastiest guacamole dishes I've ever had!! The grilled corn added such dimension and flavor - and the chips were warm - I think that was the first time I had warm chips - it made it extra special! For our entrees, we ordered the Grilled Shrimp Tacos and the Steak Fajita Tacos. The Grilled Shrimp tacos were excellent - large tender shrimp, with a corn salsa, avocado, peppers and a chipotle sauce on the side. I added a little of the Esquites Guacamole and enhanced the flavor even more! Next up, the Steak Fajitas. As soon as I had my first bite, I was disappointed....the steak was so tough and rubbery, there were pieces I couldn't swallow. We told the server and he said he would speak to the manager. They agreed to take the fajitas back and remove them from our bill. Our server was great. While it was unfortunate the steak fajitas were not good, it didn't diminish the fact we thoroughly enjoyed the other two dishes. We will definitely return to Cantina Feliz - however, we'll pass on the Steak Fajitas.

    Went here today for lunch for first-time visit. I will say that if you're looking for "fine…read moredining," then this wouldn't be the venue for you. If you're looking for delicious food- fairly affordable, and great service- this is the place. The guacamole was amazing. I even felt like the chips were better than most Mexican restaurants. I tried a steak bowl; it was DELICIOUS. I can't wait to go back and try more. I also liked that their cups were cold, and their menu didn't just feature the same thing most Mexican restaurants serve- it wasn't just chain restaurant fully delicious but common fare- this many had a few different options. Give them a try. I don't think you will be disappointed!

Being from Arizona, I eat quite a bit of Mexican food and do get some authentic eats since we are so close to Mexico. I was a little worried trying Mexican food in the east coast, but we were both really happy with the food we got here. The service was very friendly and the location was very clean. I appreciate the staff assisting with boxes as we definitely ordered more than we can eat as we wanted to try various items. It was great for leftovers and a midnight snack as I can get munchy at different times due to the time zone difference. I'd definitely return when visiting her and would recommend to anyone in the area if they want Mexican cuisine.

Food was…read moreamazing, they had a daily special with grilled bok choy and shrimp which was amazing, so flavorful and good portions. We ordered so many different dishes and from the appetizers of fried oyster mushrooms (soooooooo good) down to all the entrees everything was seasoned well and tasty. My compliments to the chef excellent meal, i will definitely be back! Update: My mom forgot her sweater and one of the waitresses ran down 1 block to bring her sweater. Great customer service as well, awesome experience overall.
