MENU

Thank you for joining us tonight.

Five years in the making, from humble

beginnings selling kolaches out of a bar on
Saturday mornings, we’re pleased to finally
offer a space for great Texas food & drink.

Our approach to Tex-Mex seeks to pay

homage to the traditions we grew up with,
while introducing some fun spins and
drawing upon the rich tapestry of other
Texas flavors & cuisines.

We hope you thoroughly enjoy. Please let us

know if there’s anything we can do to make
your Cantina experience better!

- Chris, Sam & the Cantina crew
