Cantina Mexicana — Restaurant in Kaiserslautern

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Place That Feels Like Family

This Mexican restaurant has been so much more than just a place to eat for our family—it’s been a part of our lives for many, many years. Whenever we’re in the mood for truly excellent Mexican food, this is the only place we think of. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the location itself has become our go‑to spot for celebrations and memories that mean the world to us.

We’ve held countless birthday parties here, and every single time the team goes above and beyond to make it special. The margaritas are perfectly balanced and tasty, the tacos and burritos are bursting with flavor, and even the desserts and wine show just how much care goes into everything they serve. There’s a genuine pride in the food here—you can taste it in every bite.

A special thank‑you to Giuliana and Egidio, who have given us many, many years of exceptional service and kindness. They treat every guest like family, and their warmth is one of the biggest reasons we keep coming back.

This restaurant isn’t just where we eat—it’s where we’ve celebrated milestones. It’s especially dear to us because it’s been my son’s favorite restaurant, and he’s chosen to celebrate his birthday here for the past three years—now as a grown man. That alone speaks volumes about how special this place is to us.

To everyone at this restaurant: thank you for the memories, the flavors, and the love you put into every meal. We look forward to many more years of birthdays, laughter, and unforgettable meals at our favorite...

Free wifi that is a super positive for a tourist.

Plenty of parking, they have a lot of parking space!

Garden sitting, super cute and family friendly

Large space, the inside of the restaurant has a lot of space, many rooms it is a pretty large restaurant.

Nice specials with 2 for 1 drinks many days of the week.

Service is slow - very slow, they get easily overwhelmed with large tables.

Not enough menus, there is a common practice of giving 1 menu per 3 ppl, and not giving enough time for people to look trough the menus, as there is very little amounts to go around. ...

Took 20 min to order my drink - the service is pretty slow, I am not sure if it is the waiters themselves or if they are under staffed

The waitress was very overwhelmed with the orders, the runner was not loud when bringing food out so he was giving the food to the wrong people and people were eating each others food because of that.

ENCHILADA APPETISER - i got mine with ground beef, the sauce tasted pretty nice and the appetiser was fulfilling. Nothing different than a regular plain enchilada here, i did appreciate that they had it with ground beef

MOLE ENCHILADA- this is my go to when at a Mexican place. I got it with cheese and onion

In the end of the day the order taking and the food took so long that we were basically full of chips by the time we got any food.

OVERALL THEIR FOOD IS GOOD, but only come here with plenty of time to wait around...

I went without a reservation, (highly recommended to do one) a party of nine and at 5pm on Saturday, that just to give a picture of how hard I made it for them to find me a table. But they were very diligent and found two separate table in about 10 mins. My friend and his family that were part of the nine hadn't got to the place yet, but the waitress reserved the table until they arrived. The service from the entrance to the exit was A+, to a point that after some time a table close to my friend got available, they quickly cleaned it and got us seated with our friends. Food has a great taste, I lived in Arizona so I know how Mexican food should taste so believe me when I say is good. They have a kids area where you can leave your kids and they have toys. (Keep an eye on your kids, that's not there job) And I almost forget to say that when I ordered my enchilada with chicken and beef I couldn't find the chicken until the end of the enchilada. When I tell the waitress about it she right away ordered another one and the manager came to apologize and with a new enchilada to-go. So there is no doubt for me, my family and friend that we are going...
