The food didn't blow me away, but it was good, and the atmosphere was great. You'll have to get here early if you want a table because they were turning people away not 30 minutes after opening for dinner. The cheese enchilada was divine. Probably a bit oversalted, but it had a rich texture and hit the Mexican flavor notes I was hunting for. In contrast, the guac was really average - salt would've amped the whole thing up, and the chips needed to be oilier or greasier. I'm not into overly crunchy and dry chips. The paloma - what can I say? I like stronger cocktails but that's not the style in this country. The wait staff was cheerful and attentive. read more

We were so delighted to find this extremely delicious Mexican restaurant in the heart of Seville. Spain.. Are you looking for something different than tacos? I'm really craving guacamole and fresh chips they deliver it. . Everything was so delicious. We enjoyed the beef, potatoes, guacamole and chips tostada and I absolutely love the flautas mole it's a little bit hard to find it's off the main street but it is located in a Mexican corner with other restaurants. We highly recommend this one because the service was outstanding and it's really appealing on the inside really makes you feel like you're in Mexico . ( definitely if that's what you're looking for when you're in Seville Spain.) read more

Love this place! Food was great! If you like hot salsa! As for the habanero oil cili sauce! It was AMAZING

Amazing service and amazing food! My fiancé and I came here on an extremely best night in which they were not taking anyone with a reservation.... But somehow the amazing staff were so efficient and competent, that they were able to fit us in! This was one of our most favorite nights, because we craving authentic Mexican food! And they had an amazing vegetarian selection as well! Was one of gotta times in my life I ordered 2 plates of enchiladas. In total we ordered 7 dishes between the 2 of us! The portion size was perfect, we just were THAT hungry and impressed by the food. But we definitely had to take some home! read more

Exceptional food and even better customer service. Tucked in off the main path, this hidden gem is worth the find. We enjoyed the quenca (deep fried corn pasty w/chicken & cheese feeling), enchiladas verdes, taco del pastor and of course a corona. Every dish was exceptional. We choose to do the smaller portions to enjoy the variety of food that they had tapas style. The chips were great with their two varieties of salsa. The waiter did a great job pairing the food choices to what we were looking for. Oh, let me not forget the great decor through out the entire restaurant- perfect! read more

One of the best Mexican food we had in Spain. Hubby and I were craving some spicy food and wanted a break from tapas. This place is not very apparent from the street and it was hard to find. Once inside, it is bright and colorful with friendly staff. The menu is vast and there were lot of options for vegetarians. The server suggested enchiladas verde and it was an excellent option. Vegetarian enchilada with spicy green sauce and served with spicy hot sauce. I wish they sold this spicy sauce as I would totally buy it. It was sooo good. We also had vegetarian Nachos and synchronizada and everything was great. read more

Very nice little place. Really good Mexican food and salsa . Nice relaxed atmosphere and we were served by the very friendly owner. Nachos, quac and tacos al pastor were all top notch. Even the chips were good. Try it! read more

One thing is certain since our move to Spain - I *MISS* Mexican food! Although this place looked rather ordinary from the outside, we decided to give it a try nonetheless... ...and I'm so glad we did! Someone in the kitchen really knows what they're doing. The warm chips came with a homemade salsa that was just piquant enough to scratch my itch, but not overwhelming for my wife. Her Tacos al Pastor were spot-on. Tender, flavorful, and ample. My own Fajitas de Ternera were juicy, oh-so-tender and wonderfully spiced! (I neglected to ask if the tortillas were homemade, but they sure were good!) We shared a Tarta for dessert. Don't ask, just order it! I'm certain you'll be glad you did. Oh, and YES, they do serve Negra Modelo beer. If your taste is as used-to-American-Mexican-restaurants as mine is, you'll have to ask for a lime. They brought a plate! :) Buen provecho! read more

Solid! Friendly staff, well priced and tasty drinks and small plates (2 filled me up, each about 5 euro) featuring Mexican dishes. Festive atmosphere. Go there. read more

We showed up without a reservation. And even though the restaurant was half empty, they said it would be a 1-hour wait. While we were standing outside trying to come up with a new plan, the same guy told us a table had opened up. Very odd, but whatever we're hungry. At this point in the evening, only the tapas menu was available. We sampled a bunch of dishes, and everything was very good. I tried both margaritas (regular and especial), and the especial was much better. It contains tamarind and chili powder, which gives it this enjoyable sweet and spicy vibe. Overall, it turned out to be a good experience, but we saw many other groups get turned away while we were eating. Seems strange that they don't try to fill up the restaurant. I would definitely go back, though I guess next time I'll make a reservation. read more

Mexicana approved the food was 10/10 and they have aguas frescas that are also 10/10 read more

These reviews live up! Incredible Mexican restaurant with a whole menu dedicated to vegetarians and vegans with beyond meat options! The fajitas were delicious. The service was excellent and fast. Highly recommend! read more

The food here was pretty good considering European standards of "Mexican" food. Each menu item is tapas sized and costs about 5€ each. My partner and I ordered several items to share. We tried the Taco al Pastor, Enchiladas Verdes, Flautas al Mole and Huarache al Pastor. Our favorite was the Flautas dish, but everything else, aside from the Enchiladas Verdes (sauce was good, chicken inside was too dry and flavorless), was delicious too. To drink we had an Agua de Tamarindo, an Agua de Jamaica and an Horchata to go. All three drinks were very tasty and perfect for a hot day! We also got some chips and salsa as soon as we ordered (which I thought would be free seeing as how no one asked us if we wanted them), which were 1,50€. Our bill totaled about 30€ (including tip). I would recommend this place. The food was good and the wait staff was friendly and attentive! read more

La Cantina Mexicana - Mole Chicken Flautas. - Mexican Near Me - Seville, SE

A nice break from tapas! The restaurant was a little hard to locate, being unfamiliar with the area, but we eventually found it. They don't offer outdoor seating, but it was extremely hot anyway! The staff was extremely friendly and made multiple accommodations for us on the menu. They also spoke pretty good English! The food was authentic and tasty, and provided enough spice for us! The food comes out pretty quickly, as well. Be sure to try the Carrot Flautas! They may not sound very appealing to you, but trust me they are worth it! The salsa was also delicious! read more

food was excellent. service superb. i am picky on my mexican food and everything we had was yummy. we had the panucho, al pastor tacos, and chorizo nachos. the michelada drink was perfect. i appreciated the really spicy sauce/salsa we've been searching for in spain on the side. read more

We really liked this place. We are Americans and we were struggling with the local choices and missed our Mexican food. This place was perfect. We saw that it opened at 8:30pm and saw the other reviews that said it is a busy place and on the smaller side, so we got there right on the dot (first ones there). It's in a great location by other restaurants, shops and historical spots. The waiter (may be the owner) greeted us right away and found us a table. The place filled up quickly around us with reservations and by 9pm it was packed so I suggest either making reservations or showing up right when it opens. The waiter/owner was originally from Mexico and was very friendly and asked where we were from. We had the enchiladas verde, guacamole/chips, and chicken fajitas. It was great and exactly what we hoped for. I would highly recommend. read more

If you're Mexican, this place is alright. There really aren't any Mexican places around so while I was studying abroad and craving food from home, this place helped. Spicy isn't a thing in Spain so this is one place I know had some spicy salsa. If you're from california, this place would get probably three stars, but this is a five star because it's the best Mexican place in Seville. The other Mexican place I think is called iguanas ranas and it did not even look like Mexican food to me. read more

The best authentic Mexican food I have ever had. Tapas style and great for vegetarians, you must go here for a delicious and flavorful meal on your Sevilla trip. Cute Mexican decorations, easygoing staff, and the best food ever. My husband ordered the tostada de Tinga and the Gordita, which he said were both amaZing. I, being vegetarian, was nervous they wouldn't have much for me. Turns out they have vegetarian versions of most of their dishes. We got the enchilada verde (black beans instead of pollo) that had a tomatillo sauce unlike anything I've ever had, the flautas zanahorias with rich homemade mole, and a synchronizada made vegetarian with black beans, peppers, rice, and cheese. The best thing about the whole place? Their homemade hot sauce. It is to die for. Go! You won't be disappointed. read more

Seriously good Mexican food! I am a vegetarian and was tired of tapas so this restaurant was a good find for us. The waiter was lovely and the food was beautifully presented great tasting authentic Mexican food with chilli on the side!!!! We arrived for happy hour with great margaritas!! Highly recommended read more

Amazing food and ambience. The staff are extremely nice too. We didn't have a reservation and although very busy, they accommodated us. Great variety for vegetarian food. Also tried an amazingly hot Mexican sauce. read more

The food here is very good. Oscar, the manager is very friendly as is his staff. It's the only Mexican restaurant in Seville that has food comparable to Mexican food in the US and it is Not Tex-Mex. If you need a recommendation on what to order, you can't go wrong with the enchilada verde, and the tacos al pastor. The only thing to keep in mind is that the plates are tapas sized, so you should probably order two things. Oh, and the guacamole is amazing! If you like spicy, make sure to ask your waiter for the spicy salsa, they won't bring it unless you ask for it. One of my favorite (non-Spanish) restaurants in Seville. read more

Great authentic Mexican restaurant. I had the enchiladas verdes and the tacos al pastor and they both were amazing! The sauce in the enchiladas verdes is to die for. The manager Oscar was very friendly and ran a well kept place. Will definitely be going back read more

LOVE LOVE LOOOVE!! Super friendly employees a wonderful environment and amazing food (I'm Mexican). It was such a nice change from the rude spanish people to have people who genuinely care about their customers. Kinda hard to find but it's tucked away just ask for directions. read more

Hard-to-find... but don't lose courage in front of the less-than-welcoming grey door in the back alley! Inside, it is full of colors, and of people looking for margaritas. Their margaritas are really good, and food is not too shabby either. You can eat plenty of small portions for not that much money (€4-5 per plate). Highly recommend the green enchiladas and the guacamole, both very good. read more

Yummy Mexican food right in the middle of Sevilla. Very authentic food and decor. A must for those craving some spice and Mexican flavor. Really enjoyed everything we ordered and the michelada. read more

The food was delicious and the closest to authentic Mexican food I've had in 2.5 years. I have been living in Italy for the past few years and haven't had any luck finding good mexican food. Make sure you ask for spicy if you want your food to be hot. Their guacamole is quite good. Also FYI their food is mexican style but tapas serving size. read more

If you're on vacation and you're feeling homesick, this is the place to go for Mexican/Tex-mex. The staff is so friendly and the owner actually moved to Spain from Mexico. Warning: their spiciest salsa was borderline dangerous. One lick cleared my sinuses. Proceed with caution. read more

My husband and I are from Arizona which is a state bordering Mexico for those unfamiliar with US geography. we typically eat Mexican food one a week and have many different types of Mexican cuisine in Arizona. That said this is real Mexican food that you would get in Mexico City or other parts of Mexico. If you are expect Tex Mex (burritos) this is not the right place for you. Most of the sauces (mole, tomatillo and the salsas) take many labor extensive hours to prepare. I was impressed to find mole and cochinita pibil on the menu in Spain. The decor was quaint and reminded me of many Mexican restaurants in Mexico or the US. Great selection of Mexican beers, decent margaritas and enjoyed the Mana as background music. read more

The food here was very very good I had an hochata, green chile enchilada, as well as a chicken tostada thing. The portions were tapa sized but it was all very flavorful and good. But BEWARE you need a reservation to get a table. I got lucky and a reservation canceled right after I got there but at first they wanted us to wait until 11pm to seat us read more

Authentic mexican food at a reasonable price. They even had a clearly demarcated section for "Tex-mex" on their menu. lol. The waiter was a bit cheeky to us, but otherwise we enjoyed our meal there. read more

We came here and took a break from the local cuisine in Seville. It was a nice change the service here was good. The wait staff is friendly. The menu is Mexican food however the portions are tapas portions. I got the gordita, the taco and the mole taquitos. Everything tasked authentic and full of quality and flavor. My favorite would have to be the gordita, because it was made so perfectly with the right amount of spices. Everything was good and their salsa was fresh. I would definitely try this place out if you are looking for a change from the Spanish cuisine. The location is a bit hidden away near a few other restaurants, but it was pretty easy to find. read more

When visiting our niece and her boyfriend here in Sevilla, they made sure, being Texans, to bring us to eat here. Well, let me just say - wonderful food and extremely friendly! Order the enchiladas verde and you won't be disappointed. I actually wanted to lick the plate! Lol. We will have to try to eat here again before we leave! read more

I've never been to Mexico, but the food here was much much better than anything I've had in California. The inside of the restaurant as well as the dishes are beautifully presented, the prices are good, the portions just the right size. I'll definitely come back! read more

Wonderful, unexpected, yummy place to eat! The Tapas style Mexican allowed us to sample several dishes. Our waiter, maybe the owner, was very friendly and could tell that we were 'family' visiting our daughter who is studying in Seville. Highly recommended! read more

Absolutely fantastic food, great service with a smile, lovely Mexican tapas style menu. Good options for vegan/ Vegetarians.. Loved the drinks. Quick, efficient service with fresh ingredients. Highly recommended this place in Seville... read more

We were looking for some Mexican food to satisfy the cravings for food from home and we were so happy to find this place! It's kind of tucked away in an alley, just keep walking and you'll see the sign for La Cantina :) it's super vibrant inside and decorated extremely nicely, and the one waiter was so nice. He was running around and attending to 8 tables at once, but we still felt as if the attention he gave us was as if we were the only ones there. We ordered the chicken enchilada, pork tostada, chips with salsa, and chicken tostada. All were super tasty! I think the chicken enchilada was my favorite- it was a cheesy creamy green sauce on top of a freshly made tortilla with flavorful chicken inside. Everything is served tapas style and ranges between 4-5€ so it's extremely affordable. Highly recommend this place to anyone who likes really good Mexican food! read more

Good quality of food, service and atmosphere. And the best of all the price. The dishes are correctly priced not like the other ones you would find in the street. read more

I lived in Spain for four months and, while Spanish food is good, it's nice to switch it up every once in a while. La Cantina does that. I'm from a town in the US with very good Mexican food and this is better than any place there. We ordered the five most popular menu items they had listed and all five were spectacular. But especially Enchiladas Verdes was one of the best things I've ever had. One of the best meals I had in my four months in Spain. Also, the service was impeccable. Genuinely nice people running an incredible establishment. If you are in Sevilla, go here! read more

The food was delicious. I recommend a green enchilada! It had a creamy sauce (with a spicy kick!) that was unlike any other sauce I have tasted in my life. The al pastor options were also tasty. The guacamole had a great zest but the salsa we selected, the hottest option, was not very spicy. Considering the potion sizes and food quality, I wouldn't call this the most affordable dinner but I think you get your money's worth. The staff was friendly and the decor reminded me of Fiesta in San Antonio. I will definitely return! read more

Went here based on the lofty reviews and love for mexican food. Very disappointed. Margaritas were too sour. Chicken in fajita was overcooked and too dry. Very friendly staff with very good service though. read more
