La Cantina Mexican Restaurant of Hancock, MI

"This place is what I'm going to miss most when I leave the area. I haven't found another place serving Mexican food that can stack up in terms of flavor OR service. The wait times here are incredibly short somehow, and their margaritas are great for groups."

"The food is amazing. I've only had a few different things, but they were all delicious. There is no uncertainty with this menu; if something looks good on it, it will be good. Service is always friendly and fast. I've only ever gotten take-out from here, but it looks like people are having a good time in there. This place is a must-try."

"Loved the color and decor. Very bright and welcoming. Service was great. Salsa and cheese dip were great. Would not recommend the spinach quasadilla there was not a lot of flavor and seemed to be thrown in just to have a vegetarian option. The rice and guacamole it came with were very good though. And the pineapple daiquiri and the fried ice cream was perfect."

"Not bad and some what creative cuisine. My wife had a seafood dish that was topped with grilled pineapple that she said added just a bit of sweetness to the food. Mine was Chile Colorado which I had them make with their hotter red sauce. It was spicy (read hot) yet flavorful. I should have read the menu more carefully because this was just meat in sauce with no veggies. Onions and green peppers would have been a great addition and would make the dish so much more. I am still looking for a Mexican restaurant that will do something special with the refired beans and Spanish rice, unfortunately I will keep looking as theirs was the typical brown mass with some cheese melted on top and flavorless red rice."

"I have a high bar when it comes to Mexican food, so take this review as you will. The ambiance is good. Busy, noisy restaurant. At least the night we ate there. The hostess was amazing, great hugs! About a 30 min wait until we were seated, not bad. Our server was not very attentive. We saw him 4 times. When we ordered, delivered drinks and chips, delivered the meal, and delivered the check. It was busy, but he passed by our table many times. Our booth seat was like a teeter totter, We bounced every time the people in the next booth sat or shifted. The men's bathroom was falling apart, air freshener on the floor, no paper towels, and the stall lock wouldn't hold. Aside from all of that, the food was the biggest downfall. The Swiss Enchilladas had processed Swiss cheese from cellophane topping the dish, very little Verde sauce, and the filling was over salted. The Mole was very high in salt and almost inedible. The chicken nachos were good, and the salsa was good. The chori qeuso was mostly oil/grease. There aren't a lot of choices this far north, but my recommendation is to avoid this one."
