La Cabanita at the Mint: Reviews & Ratings
This was and always is a great place to eat! The food is absolutely amazing and the staff is super friendly! If you're a fan of Mexican food this is a must for you. My wife and I eat there at least twice a month and have yet to have a bad experience there! I recommend the "wet burrito" with shredded beef! But make sure you bring your appetite with you because it's huge and delicious!!!! Did I mention the prices are extremely reasonable? Only downside to the food is they give you tostada shells with the great salsa they make there and I think it would be better with tortilla chips.
Hands down the best Mexican Food in the Valley. I’m a huge fan of the carnitas but all their dishes are consistently good. The service is always on point and the refried beans you get with your chips are a game changer. Definitely a must!
Quite simply some of the best Mexican food I’ve eaten. I tired the combination platter. The chicken Tamale is first in class, the enchilada with pork deserves to be famous, and the steak taco delicious though I would prefer a corn taco shell to the flour it comes with—because I love corn shells for tacos. Space is big and set up for a quick turn around and service is spot on. Food came quickly.
Definitely 5 stars Some of the best Carnitas I've ever found and a darn good Cadillac Margherita. These guys give a whole new meaning to the phrase "running food" to the tables - they were all just about running. The entire staff is excellent, on the ball , fast, and friendly. Starting with the opening chips n salsa , everything is top shelf. Wish iived nearby, you should go eat here at least once a week. Fyi - that's a 'junior' burrito , portions are large , and whatever is in that chips salsa is darn good stuff.
Cold beer, crispy chips, delicious salsa, great service. Great spot. Really enjoyed late afternoon beers and nachos.
Rockstar staff and delicious carne asada. Can't. Go. Wrong.
Great family Mexican! The service was great, prices reasonable and the food is good!
our waiter, kenny, was so helpful in giving advice for what we should order! his suggestions were spot on. the carne asada was flavorful & perfectly cooked to medium rare. so delicious & definitely could feed two! when we were leaving, he remembered my birthday and offered our dessert to go! can’t wait to come back next time we are visiting! thank you guys for a great birthday evening.
