Wanted Mexican food (actually margaritas lol) after bowling with friends and Mill Street was under 2 miles away from where we were so it was an obvious decision to try them out. The restaurant is in this cute little area with shops, restaurants and bars and is a popular destination because when we were leaving out after finishing our meal the place was jam packed and there was at least an hour wait (but no wait when we came in thankfully). It's important to note that this is NOT authentic Mexican food ... but it was pretty good nonetheless. The margarita flight was cute and gave us the ability to try a few flavors out before committing to a large one. The favorites were the white peach and pineapple margaritas (the other 2 in the flight were the traditional and prickly pear). We ordered the Crab Mexican Street Corn for an appetizer and while it was loaded with crab, it wasn't Mexican Street Corn ... it was seasoned corn with old bay and a few other ingredients topped with crab. I ordered the Steak & Shrimp Combo Fajitas which was a nice portion size (I took 3/4 home) and the flavors were pretty darn tasty, but when you order fajitas you expect the "sizzle" and these didn't have that nor were they have the right temperature ... they were just warm when I wanted and expected them to be hot. The refried beans were yummy despite them not looking too appetizing but the rice was too soft. Service was good overall and pricing was also reasonable. If we're in the neighborhood again and in the mood for margaritas we may just stop back in. read more

I recently visited Mill Street Cantina twice and came away disappointed. It was highly recommended by a couple of friends. The inside was clean and the bar area I sat at although small was a decent spot to have a drink and grub. The staff was mostly young kids who were very nice. The chips and salsa they offer were boring. The salsas both roja and verde lacked flavor, mostly spice. The chips were fresh, but thick and bland. I think a thinner homemade style would work better. The first bartender I dealt with was great with the menu. She recommended several menu items. I ended up rolling with the Shrimp and Crab Enchiladas at $18 - jumbo lump crab, old bay cream cheese, tiger shrimp, cilantro and lime rice. The lime rice was worthless. It had zero flavor and was dry. The Enchiladas were creamy, but lacked spice and complexity. The tiger shrimp had a delicious grilled, moist flavor and were the best part. My second trip had a newer bartender who was getting her feet wet. She was friendly, but busy familiarizing herself with the bar so I went simple and ordered Birria Tacos - $15 Braised beef, onions, cilantro, lime Oaxaca cheese, consommé. The beef was dry and not tender. The shells were ok. The best part was the lime Oaxaca cheese and the consommé somewhat helped me get the beef down. The portion was very small. Not a good value in my humble opinion. The other patrons were mostly young and enjoying margaritas. I think booze is the draw to this spot. Without it your just getting average Mexican grub. Heck of a location in the Borough, but my visits left me longing for a hot pepper! read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant. Great atmosphere. You feel like you are in the movie Coco. Staff was very polite and always there when needed. Food was amazing. Chips paired with the crab dip was a perfect start. I got a huge chimichanga that was crisp on the outside and filled with flavor on the inside. I will definitely be going back to this staple. read more

I was really hoping for a revamp with this new space, but sadly I was underwhelmed. The device was terribly slow. We ordered to go DURING our meal and it still took almost an hour to get the food. The burrito I had was good and the tacos my friends had were "decent". The Spanish rice was.... Yuck. No flavor at all. The corn and guac dip was also not good, you could barely taste the guac. The queso was probably the best thing of the night. I don't think I'll be back. It hasn't been the same since 2019. read more

Mill Street in Bristol is slowly making its way toward becoming a true blue destination in lower Bucks County. It is historic, riverside attractive and gastronomic, with interesting kitchens to visit and sample. Mill Street Cantina at the bottom of Mill at Radcliffe is another of those potentially tasty stops. Son and I were there late on a Sunday afternoon looking for margaritas and some authentic comidas. We found parking right across the street and sauntered in just before a summer thunderstorm. We sat at a hightop overlooking the King George Inn and ordered Guava and Prickly Pear Margaritas (pretty good), Tacos Birria and Chile Rellenos with side of Mexican Street Corn. The dining room was large with bar in the rear. The decor felt somewhat southwestern with Dia del Muerto symbols visible. The menu looked representative, but actually left something to be desired. I have had Rellenos many times, but this was the first that served a red bell pepper as the vessel in which to stuff ground beef, light spice and cotija cheese mixed within. Half a pepper for $18 seemed way expensive, especially given that they did not use proper ingredients- not habanero chile, nor egg, nor adequate heat to approach the real deal. More cafeteria stuffed pepper than anything truly chile relleno. The Mexistreet corn was right out of a can, rather than shaved from a fresh ear. Wrong. Just wrong. To be fair, Sonny Boy was okay with the Birria, but not enthusiastic. With El Limon a few doors down on Ratcliffe, we wouldn't venture back to this Cantina given the absence of true skill in the cocina. Hard to muster more than a lukewarm starcast for this effort. Not a ghost pepper in the house. 2.5 Estrellas read more

Stopped by while checking out the beautiful town of Bristol. It was a beautiful day, so I was offered a seat in their outside street area. It was nice and shaded from the sun. They have a brunch menu on Sunday until 3. I had the breakfast burrito and a margarita. Both the drink and burrito were delicious. The burrito was huge! The server was super friendly and very attentive. Can't wait to go back to try more food! read more

I went here a few years ago and didn't like it so I said screw it let's try it again, yea well nothing has changed. We went on a Wednesday night. Service was terrible. Everyone who worked there seemed to have such an attitude and seemed annoyed we were there. (We were not the only ones there). It took about 10 minutes for a server to come greet us. We were brought chips, salsa, and water promptly by the hostess but she didn't speak and literally put the stuff on top of the menus without giving us a chance to move things. There wasn't anything I would recommend about the place. It's small, cramped, and they had wicker high top chairs which was just scary. Nothing had flavor. It is not authentic Mexican in the slightest and very "white washed," in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

I love this place, just went for dinner and the chips were hot, fresh and tasty as usual! You get free chips, red and green salsa which is easy to fill up on so be careful! My favorite part about this place (other than the chips) are the margaritas! Get the guava margarita and do yourself a favor, it had amazing fresh guava flavor that is in no way synthetic. The reason this place only gets 4 stars is that the mains don't always wow me. I had shrimp tacos and they were overly sweet. But my mom got the enchiladas and they were amazing! So go with a group and share a few mains and apps to get the best experience. Also, there is always a wait so go early or you might not get a table! read more

I must've been very grumpy when I wrote my initial review. Mill Street Cantina is one of the gems in downtown Bristol. Like a lot of stuff on that drag though, you should probably aim for an earlier dinner, around 5 or so, because they're always packed. They give you two salsas and chips as soon as you sit down and the chips might as well be endless. They have to be freshly made, they're so addictive. our group had the brisket enchiladas, house guac, plantains, BBQ pork enchiladas and two orders of the crunchy shrimp tacos. Oh and we all go margaritas. Yeah, it was a lot, and we're stuffed. Honestly, my only complaint was that the Shrimp tacos needed more flavor. They were nice but were a bit too sweet and needed some sort of kick. I think the sauce (think it was a sriracha aioli, but the menu online doesn't have it listed) was too light and weirdly came out purple because of the cabbage. It needed a zip, a zing, some sort of spice. 5 star service. 4.5 star food. read more

Oh we will definitely go back to this tiny place. Amazing food, including their queso and guacamole, and delicious margaritas- what more can you ask for? The service was great as well. We can't wait to go back! read more

My friend and I saw a suggested post on Facebook about "Margarita Flights" which change flavors every week and we immediately decided that we needed to check out this cantina. My friend apparently has been there once before, but never ordered food (just drinks), so we were excited to check it out. I wish that they took reservations (but it doesn't sound like they do, or if so, it isn't able to be done online). We had to wait about 30 minutes to sit down, so the waitress said she would give us a call when our table was ready. We got seated at a high table with wicker seats. I was a little nervous about sitting on them (since I am plus size), but thankfully all was okay. I didn't realize that they had cushioned seats on the window sill that you could sit on instead, so about half way through, I transitioned to that area and was super content. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful. We ordered the margarita flights. We had the option of choosing a salt rim or a sugar rim (which I LOVED because I have never had a sugar rim on a margarita before, INSTANTLY A FAN). The flavors of the week were Classic, Prickly Pear, Blackberry, and Pineapple. Our favorite was the pineapple, so so delicious!!!!! We were given free chips, salsa, and guacamole for the table, they were delicious. I wish they gave us a little more sauce since it was filled a little low, but we just asked for more. I ordered a cheese quesadilla and added chicken. It was super delicious, just very very messy. I ate 3/4 of the whole thing. All in all, I would give this place a 9.5 out of 10 stars. A .25 deduction because it was super loud (which makes sense, it was Super Bowl weekend), and another .25 deduction due to not being able to make reservations. I definitely would love to come back! read more

Popped in on a Saturday night at the recommendation of the bartender at Dad's Hat Tasting Room. The place was packed and lively. Luckily we got a table for two pretty quickly and were eating chips and salsa within a few minutes. The staff was attentive and friendly, despite being super busy. The menu was pretty straightforward Mexican fare. I had the brisket enchiladas, which were very good. The wife had the fish tacos, which were good, but a little dry and lacking depth of flavor. The salsas were excellent. Overall, a good experience. Food was good, service was excellent. Would recommend, but the food won't knock your socks off. read more

Mill Street Cantina - Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Bristol, Pennsylvania

Not bad for east coast Mexican food, considering I'm originally from California. The salsas that came with the complementary tortilla chips were a little on the bland side, and I needed to add quite a bit of hot sauce to my veggie tacos (black beans, corn, and onion). But the ingredients were fresh, so that was a plus. And the tacos were satisfying, even with opting not to eat the second tortilla under each taco meant to hold the tacos together. It's a decent amount of food for not too much of a price tag. Service was great, too. I came in a little early for a Saturday night, a little before 5pm, so it wasn't crowded. I was seated right away and had my order taken quickly (but I didn't feel rushed). My food came out pretty quickly, too (although, I guess tacos wouldn't take long anyway). And my server checked in with me several times to make sure everything was good. There are a handful of vegetarian and vegan options on their menu - even on their specials menu. Big plus for me there! If I'm back in the area, I wouldn't mind coming back here. read more

I checked out Mill Street Cantina tonight and thought it was worth a review! When we entered the place was packed inside and out. The host told us the wait would be about an hour but would give us a call when a table was available. My fiancé and I took a walk along the water and within 15 minutes we got a call for our table. We confirmed our name when we returned and the host pointed to our table and told us to enjoy. Waiting at the table were menus, water, tortilla chips as well as red and green salsa. The fresh, house made chips were great while the red and green salsas were just meh. We ordered guacamole with street corn (you can get it plain, with street corn or with shrimp) and the queso dip. The guacamole was relatively simple with some red onions, a little bit of cilantro and garlic. The addition of street corn was unique and tasty. The queso dip was great with a little bit of spice to it. For entrees we ordered brisket enchiladas and veggie fajitas. The enchiladas and fajitas were good, not great. Nothing major to complain about but we just didn't find the entrees all that special. For all this food and 2 non-alcoholic drinks it was $53. The menu is short and simple by offering a handful of appetizers, a few salads and a few entrees. They offer soda, juices and alcoholic beverages. Prices were extremely reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. As a vegetarian it was great to find multiple items on the menu that were vegetarian or vegan. Yay! The reason I took off a star was the service seemed a bit disjointed. I totally understand they were busy and they may have been short staffed but either way the service left something to be desired. The inside of the restaurant was LOUD. So loud my fiancé and I had a hard time talking/hearing each other. Definitely not a great first date place or somewhere you'd want to be with anyone who has auditory sensitivities. The restaurant was warm inside. During a heatwave we were looking forward to cooling down inside but were disappointed. Towards the end of our meal one of the 2 AC units kicked on but wasn't enough to help the temperature all that much. So, for all these reasons along with the salsas and entrees not wow-ing, I took off a star. read more

Okay, lots to say here.. We went on a Saturday night at 6pm, which I now know is a mistake, but we got quoted 30 mins and waited for 45 so not that bad. . However it was so loud specifically because of one obnoxious party of 8 women ignorantly yelling about a birthday.. that's not the restaurants fault so I won't let that effect my waiting Host and waitress were wonderful. Manager came around frequently to ask how we were. We got a margarita flight as well as guava, white peach, and jalapeño margs. The jalapeño and guava were the best. Got chicken tacos, shrimp tacos and crispy shrimp tacos and the crispy shrimp was amazing!! Others were good too but didn't come close. Would 100000% go back again just not on a Saturday night. read more

Mill Street Cantina is located on the Main Street in Bristol. The space is a bit small, but my party was able to be sat right away. Chips and salsa were on the table immediately!

Food was delicious, Margaritas were amazing. Really great service and great vibe in this place.

Visited here for the first time in 2 years after hearing about the renovation and new ownership. They did a really nice job with their renovation. Food was great, however, service was sub-par. Started out with drinks at their bar while waiting for our table. We observed our bartender taking shots with a server (mind you it's 7pm). The bartender over charged us (he did resolve the issue). We got seated and it took us 30 minutes to have a server come to us (turned out to be the same server who was taking shots and was drunk). Once the server took our order, the food came out quickly, but again, he vanished. I'll give the cantina another try, but management needs to step up their game and squash this unprofessionalism my group encountered. read more

First visit to Mill Street Cantina in Bristol PA. Memorable experience. Picked Mother's Day, cold wet, just my wife and myself and the need for a new familiar flavor and some drinks. We were shown to a table soonest we walked in, a bowl of chips and two dipping sauce options brought to the table with water. My wife ordered a margarita- pineapple and coconut with rum, she loved it. I went to the bottle fridge and selected Duchesse De Bourgogne- a Flemish sour which was excellent with my entree of the BBQ pulled pork enchilada- 3 in the serving. A very tasty dish, the BBQ sauce had a slight bite that worked with the tender pulled pork. The side of black beans and rice were cooked just right and completed the dish. My wife had the jerk chicken taco, 3 in the serving, nice platting; however, I was a little underwhelmed by it. Had a different expectation, felt the Jerk sauce had no kick, was very light. The pieces of pineapple had more flavor oddly. She enjoyed, that's all that matters. Anna our server was spot on, friendly, engaging and honest per her feedback to our questions. Chris the manager too was spot on, friendly, engaging and checked on us a few times to make sure we had a memorable and tasty experience. on A shout out of THANKS to both Chris and Anna. We'll be back in 3 weeks for dinner and drinks before a night of great music at a concert just across the street. read more

Stopped in for a drink before our play across the street. It was about 630p on a Friday. The place was pretty full and we got the last two stools at the bar. My wife ordered a Margarita she liked it. I got a Pacifico Pilsner cold and fresh, off the tap. Learned, after inquiring, that the place has been here three years to the day. Barkeep bought me a round. Also met the Pacifico girl and got a free tee shirt. Very nice. Sometimes you just get lucky. Warm Chips were provided with red and green salsa. The chips were nice and thick. The salsa was interestingly sweet and tasty. Not the chunky kind but smooth and creamy. The bar is small. The place is small. But a very nice find, a reco from one of my wife's colleagues. We will return to try a proper meal next time. Mark & Nancy. read more

I have such mixed feelings about this place, the margaritas are amazing, some of the food is awesome some of it is okay but it biggest issue is the staff, they just always seem bothered by your presence they make it so uncomfortable, one day we literally got the menus thrown at us! There is one waitress with short hair that started at hostess I think and she is amazing! She's so friendly and great at her job but we only got her one time if they had more staff like her that place would be a big hit but all the others are just too "cool" to care! read more

I came here honestly for the dog friendly comments and I have to say that they did not disappoint at all. Not only is Mill Street Cantina super dog friendly but the whole community is which made it such a great experience which our fur baby was throughly enjoying all the attention! They even brought her out a bowl of ice water. Service was great, everyone was super friendly, and attentive. Margaritas were another great thing with so many flavors to choose from, strong and yet sweet with so much flavor. They also offer Mezcal and have Tequila flights. They bring out chips & salsa for the table which is a must for Mexican restaurants! The restaurant across the street plays music outside which was a great addition to the outside seating. I ordered Mahi Mahi tacos which were cooked to perfection, was not bad but it was a little bland in flavor. That is my only complaint. Overall, amazing service, atmosphere, location and drink selection. We will definitely be going back to try some more of the menu! read more

The only reason I'm even giving 2 stars is the fact that the server was doing his damnedest to take care of us and his other tables. It wasn't his fault the other people working seriously dropped the ball on everything else. The fajitas were bland, zero seasoning on them. Their "slab bacon" was 6 pieces of burnt to a crisp thick cut bacon. Hardly a portion size or even edible for the $9 price. The "frozen margaritas" came to us looking like a 7-11 slurpee that wasn't ready to be dispensed (nowhere near frozen). The young man serving us had the manager comp our appetizer and margaritas. Then put in a second order for drinks. I personally watched him approach the "bar tenders" 3 times over a 15min timeframe asking for our drinks (a tequila sunrise and a bottle of Corona). The bar tenders were moving like molasses, taking 10 min to finish drinks for the customers at the bar as they seemed more concerned with chatting amongst themselves than doing their job. Once we had our drinks, and finished eating, we made sure the server got a $20 tip, because despite the mediocre food quality and ridiculous time waiting for simple drinks from the bar, he was honestly trying like hell to salvage the dining experience for us. All in all: Server- 5 stars Bar service- 0 stars Food quality- 0 stars read more

We dined here a few weeks ago. I can still recall our delicious meal. Carne Asada tacos with a side of chimichurri sauce and a Cuban sandwich (from the daily specials) with tender, juicy carnitas piled on ham (that came with a side of crispy tostones topped with cotija cheese). Everything was packed with flavor - NOT smothered with sauces that overpower and mask the taste of the key ingredients. Tasty chips and salsa launched the meal. Husband ordered a Mojito and enjoyed that very much, too. There's a little story about how we ended up dining here. We were strolling around Bristol in the afternoon. Stopped at Calm Waters coffee and enjoyed that bit of refreshment - then walked out to the waterfront. On our way back to the parking lot, we found a mobile phone in the crosswalk between the King George II and the Cantina. We picked it up and examined it to see if it was functioning and if there was anything that would help the owner identify it if we posted a photo on the Nextdoor network. (There was.) Brittany from the Cantina saw us standing by one of the outdoor tables and hurried right out. We explained what we were about, and she suggested that the phone could be left with owner Chris at the Cantina. Great idea, we thought - and posted a note to Nextdoor with a photo of the phone's wallpaper - which featured the owner and a young child, and included the location, phone, and hours of the Cantina. On our way out, we browsed the menu, decided to that the components of the evening's dinner at home could wait until the next day, and returned to dine. While we were enjoying our repast, the owner of the phone entered! She located it via "find my device" using another helpful person's phone. Chris and Brittany pointed us out to her and she thanked us. Hooray! A happy - and delicious - conclusion to everyone's afternoon. read more

Great atmosphere, great food and great service. Standouts were the plantains and watermelon margaritas. If so great, then why only four stars? This was one of those extremely hot days in July and the air conditioning was not working. We didn't recognize this to be the case until after we ordered drinks and food. When we asked the waiter the issue, he responded by saying that the restaurant has had several people come to look at the unit but just isn't working still. We recognize that these things happen, but this was an extremely hot day and many do suffer from ailments that could have been impacted. Why not tell us this when we entered the restaurant or have a sign outside? Just feel that this might have been a reason not to return. read more

Mill Street Cantina is such a great Mexican spot! Located in the newly updated Mill Street area in Bristol Borough. A few outdoor tables so would be nice to people watch on a warm night. My HS bestie lives in the area so she suggested this place and I'm glad she did. Little to no wait on a Friday at 6pm (though it got busier as the night went on). A wide variety of take-out beer in the waiting area if your looking to take-out. Hostess was friendly and seated us right away. Greeted with water then server came to take order with homemade chips and bowls of both red & green salsa. I ordered the traditional marg on rocks with salt and my friend ordered the frozen pear marg. Both were yummy. I ordered the Crispy Sweet Shrimp Tacos (server said she loved them) and my friend ordered the regular Shrimp Tacos so we could try both. We also ordered the house guacamole. Guacamole came out shortly. Creamy and delicious. The tacos were great. I was partial to the Crispy Sweet Shrimp Tacos but both were good.
