OK food but nothing to write home about

Most of the types of food on the menu (quesadillas, burrito, taco, etc) have a vegetarian option. I think there is vegan cheese available too. I had the nachos and they were okay. Nothing exciting. Spice levels are very low but you can add hot sauce to improve this. They didn't have Tiger beers as advertised on the menu. The place was totally dead and the vibe was a bit off.

Yummy food - big portions

Each type of food (taco-burrito-quesadilla) has a veggie option. You have to take out the cheese and sour cream to make it vegan but they have vegan cheese on the menu. The food isn’t spicy but they give you three types of chilli sauce that you can add to it.

Really nice mexican joint

Big portions, good food, variety of different hot sauces, unfortunately they ran out of guacamole which is a pity for a mexican restaurant haha

Pros: quite a few vegan options, chill athmosphere, dogs

Cons: no guacamole, no vegan cheese

Not as glowing as some of the reviews

First of all, they don't serve vegan cheese anymore. I figure they took it off the menu once the demands declined because of the pamdemic. Despite the generous portion, I don't think the burrito taste that good. It's great that they have the tofu as an option, but they could learn how to season tofu better. It taste kind of bland, not a lot of spice. I have to put a lot of chili sauce and even then it still taste just okay. I think my Mexican friends will be disappointed by the food here just like how I have been disapointed by Thai food abroad.

Pros: Huge portion. , Opens till quite late.

Cons: Doesn't taste that great. Just okay, Toilet in a very sketchy, dark corner, not clean

Nice mexican place

Staff is friendly and you can make the vegetarian options vegan. Nothing is marked as vegan so be sure to specify. At there twice and now i'm going a third time. Worth a visit!

Pros: Really nice flavours, Clean restaurant , They have tofu aswell

Cons: A bit pricy, A bit dry so ask for guacamole as extra

Lecker

Ich liebe thailändisches Essen, aber mal zur Abwechslung etwas mexikanisches...
Dafür ist man hier genau richtig. Die Quesadilla kann ich besonders empfehlen. Andere Gerichte sind teilweise etwas trocken.

The biggest burrito I have ever seen!

Firstly, let me talk about portion sizes... They are SO generous but you just keep eating as it's so tasty. Tried the veggie nachos and veggie burrito and both were full of flavour and so filling. Staff were lovely and really on the ball. Very popular which means it's a good giving atmosphere. Free drinking water too. Loved it!

Large portions, fast service

Nice mexican restaurant in Sairee. We liked the nachos with guacamole and salsa very much. Our veggie taco plate with vegan cheese and tofu was also nice. It could have been more spicy. We would have liked salsa to the tacos and we can totally recommend ordering this as an extra. Portions are big and the price is ok. The food is fresh and veganizable.

Pros: Veganizable dishes

Great mexican food, with many veggie options

We had some super delicious nacho's with vegetables and veggie taco's here, twice :). Great atmosphere and everything tasted super fresh. Prices are okay, 160 TBH for the nacho platter (really good filled!) and 50 THB for a veggie taco.

Pros: Many vegetarian options

Delicious mexican food

Ask them to make the veggie burrito vegan (they understad "vegan" but specify that you don't want cheese or sour cream)! The food at Cantina really good, and I appreciate that there is more than one vegan option, as the veggie tacos are vegan by default and you can veganize the veggie burrito. The veggie burrito really gives you a big portion of food for your money too.

However the 100thb frozen margharita i not worth trying, tastes really watered down

Pros: More than one vegan option, Big portions, They make their own hot sauces

So so...

The nachos and homemade guacamole was nice, but the tacos were so dry! I asked for more guacamole to improve, but they'd ran out of avocados!

The staff don't seem to understand much English, which isn't major, but I had to check and double check that the food was suitable for vegans as the waiter was saying yes to any question. I asked if any of my food had dairy in it, like cheese or milk. The waiter said yes. When I asked what does it have in it, he asked what dairy was. I explained again, he said yes, the guacamole had milk. But when my friend asked, he said no. We got him to check with the chef, and asked another member of staff, and the answer was finally no, there was no dairy in my food.

Might of just been the day for this experience, but it still was an unsatisfactory visit.

Pros: There was some vegan options.

Cons: Dry tacos., Lack of understanding/communication with the staff

great authentic Mexican with vegan version

Basic but good. Hard to find because it's BEHIND the main streets in a new walking development. The apple maps location is exactly right, even though it shows no streets, just get behind the main streets and you will see it!

Pros: good authentic Mexican vegan

Cons: vegan cheese would open up much more of the menu t

Delicious and filling

Ate here recently and was pleasantly surprised.

The chips were a little too thick/not light & crispy, but still delicious.

Other than that, everything was really good, big portions, and decent prices. Comparable for the area.

I'd definitely eat here again.

Pros: Understood "vegan", Good options, Friendly

Cons: Serves meat
