Cantina — Restaurant in Ann Arbor

I used to like this place, as the food and margs were tasty (although very expensive for the location). My most recent experience here has taught me that this place is a bad establishment, run by a corrupt owner.

Last weekend, my friends and I decided to go to cantina to dance at a place we knew had decent drinks but would be empty. We wanted an empty place, since one member of our group had an injury and couldn't stand for very long. Cantina's reputation of being best dancing spot for underclassmen at the university (since they have a reputation of letting under 21YOs in with terrible fake IDs), means that it is often empty, because no one wants to dance with 18YOs. Upon arrival to the nearly empty bar/restaurant/club one of the guys in my group was turned away.

The bouncer claimed that my friend's crutches (since he had broken his ankle three days ago, and needed them to walk) were against the club's dress code. Then when we informed the security guard that this is completely illegal to turn someone away from a restaurant for having crutches, the owner joined the conversation and changed the claims. The owner claimed that our friend was actually being turned away because he was wearing black joggers (a non baggy, fashionable type of sweat pant), because sweatpants are against dress code. The owner claimed that this was a rule put in place by the Ann Arbor police department, because guns could be hidden in sweats. He also said that my friend not being able to wear any other pants, due to the giant cast on his foot, did not excuse his apparent breaking of the dress code. In theory, being persistent about the enforcement of a dress code is pretty reasonable, except for the fact that this club was not even being consistent. Not only were both of the bouncers wearing sweatpants, but also another random guy dancing inside had similar joggers on. Overall, the owner was very discriminating against my friend with his injury, and completely disregarding of the fact that the bouncer revealed the owner's sincere rules, that crutches are against the dress code.

This establishment does not respect the american disabilities act, and the owner is the one enforcing it with...

It is always hard to give five stars, I feel like it meet every expectations. The crew are very friendly and nice.

Of course it is not a cheap place in terms of budget, but it is fairly priced for the kind of place it is part of - I guess you will put that in the fancy place, and in that case for AA it is cheap.

The place is very modern looking and very cool to be at. It change of usual fast food look or low key look you can find. It is also not to fancy but very much a casual feels and mood.

The cocktails are classic and good. Nothing to brag about but everything to enjoy.

The food? Great - especially the tacos, some will say the best in town - to be honest if not the best, I will say some of the best.

The price range from $2,5/3,5 per tacos witch place them on the low fancy side of the Tacos market. But the flavors are really great, clearly the ingredients are premium and... They are well proportionate: three tacos will feed your man. The flavors are classic but well executed and so you will really enjoy them. The Tacos crepes it self seems to be more of the premade kind, but rarely you find some of the daily homemade in USA (am I too exigent?).

I really like the salsa going with the chips - the lime used are strong and sweet - perfect to my personal taste with that tiny kick from the garlic - wonderful kick I might say.

A real good experience, we like to take away but like also to chill at the table during the early stage of the evening when the place is still empty.

Speaking of... The place is very nite, upstairs with a nice view over the street. So far south U is not the most interesting place in campus, but with the recent update... It might become way more trendy and a more interesting street to be looking at it. Yes, I am French and part of the delight in drinking and eating with a good view is to enjoy the street life.

Love it....

This is the most racist place I ever experience. I initially got in the bar with all the security check and my friend lost her id but have a screenshot of proving her being over 21. Regardless that can work or not, after I help my friend vouch for her id being authentic and to let the security understand that she is actually being over 21, I got pull over suddenly and said I can’t go in the club due to my inappropriate dress code even though I initially passed the security and the dress code and ticket check. I felt very personal and I said I think it is unfair and I feel like there might be racism intention behind. After I voice myself concern, I got kick out of the security because he said I have no right to express my concern and said there is potential racism involve in this. . And then they took away my id. I need to line back up and found it left in the stair case behind the security checkpoint. I thinks this is my first time feel such unwelcome action in the us due to...
