La Cantina — Restaurant in Cedarburg

Waiter wrote himself a $10 tip after being pushy and a bit rude, plus the food was really crappy quality..

My husband took me here because he knows I love Mexican food, we're from Milwaukee, so we know authentic.

He's diabetic and can't eat much (carbs) and saw they had Caesar salad and thought, "Bonus!". Caesar salad was weepy iceberg, tomatoes, guacamole, onion, croutons, tiny cold chicken shreds with drizzled.. dressing? on top. That folks, isn't a Caesar salad (he hates tomato and onion 😆).

Had wings; asked if they were breaded, was told no. they're slightly breaded. Not too awful but hub was worried about breading.

My food was bland (beef had no seasoning ), piled high with weepy lettuce and tomato (soggy shells), cold watery sauced enchiladas, and the tamale was 99% corn meal with an itty bitty bit of meat. I felt like we paid $50 for lettuce and tomato and crap quality "Mexican food".

I was disappointed but didnt fuss in the restaurant. I let the waiter know we wanted a box (chicken food), paid our bill, and left. Waiter was rushy and rude (eye roll and sigh when hub ordered salad, wanting to snatch the signed bill before we left, hovering while signing etc.) so i didnt leave a tip; be kind and I'll tip.

Today i found out he wrote himself a $10 dollar tip. Lovely.

Wish I would have...

Took our adult kids here for dinner. The decor is lacking. We first ordered 2 flights 1 of margaritas and 1 of the mojitos. The waiter brought us 2 monitor flights and when we tried to tell him it was wrong he clearly didn't understand. We then ordered food and drinks. 2 of the 4 drinks were what we actually ordered again the waiter had no clue what we where saying when we said it was wrong. The food was bland and boring. The Primuim lime margarita tasted like tequila with a dash of lime juice, the blueberry margaritas was beyound hideous. All 4 of us tried the one, it was like the Gieco Ins commercial with the raccoons digging in the garbage and the one says to the other this is so bad you have to try it this is luke mango chutney and burnt hair, oh this is so bad. I also didn't like on the receipt the tips listed were 20%, 25, and 30%. Sorry I wouldn't tip this type of lack of server even 15%. Also all the drinks were very inconsistent from 1 to the next. They really reminded us why we like Tellos so much. We spent about 35 per person and it was...

The Lindos Special was delicious! Highly recommend. Lots of meat, creamy, and flavorful. Also ordered the taco salad fajitas; however, I wish I would have just ordered the regular taco salad as the fajita one was REALLY soupy. (Bonus? I got a soup with my salad?! 🤷‍♀️) Neither taco salad comes with cheese, which I thought was odd. I requested the sour cream and guacamole on the side, but they forgot to include it at all and had to go back and get some. The complimentary chips and salsa were ok. The chips are thicker than other restaurant tortilla chips which was nice and held up to the salsa which was very smooth and mild. Tortilla chips didn’t seem to have any salt in them. The waiter was nice but rather unaware. I had to go up to the bar to get a refill. At the bar four different employees made eye contact with me but did not ask if I needed anything. The fifth person a few minutes later did. The ambiance is nice, however, a lot more upscale decor than the food warrants. Also, there is a 3% charge for credit card...
