Noche Cantina & Cocina 2215 West Franklin Street, Evansville, IN 47712

"My best friend and I were so excited to try Noche, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance and overall vibe is hip yet inviting, the music is fun but not loud enough to cause interruptions to conversation. We both started with the La Fuego margaritas which were excellent (be sure to try the different flavors!) We ordered two appetizer dips- the street corn dip and the jalapeño ranch and both were excellent and the portion sizes more than enough for the two of us and then each ordered two tacos. The tacos themselves were delicious, but accompanied by the crispy shell when ordering the “Noche way” were perfect. I’m not sure how we managed it, but we ended with the fried tres leches cake which was incredible but nearly too big for us to finish. Overall amazing experience, this was an amazing girls night out and would be the perfect date night spot. Very excited for Evansville to have a more upscale Mexican spot! We will be back!"

"Excellent service and incredible food! Malaina was our server and she was excellent! We went after they had just opened and were impressed with how well she knew the menu and drink questions we had. The Noche margarita was the best I have ever had! The ahi tuna tostado is a must try!"

"For the price of the food, it was subpar at best. The meat barely had any flavor and the tacos were doused in sauce that made everything soggy. The music was so loud you could barely hear yourself think. Not worth the money."

"The restaurant is nice looking and new. Our server was a very kind, sweet lady. She was, unfortunately, apparently not as well trained as one would hope; for this I obviously do not fault her. My husband’s food came out about ten minutes after mine did… and, when it did, it was cold. Our server apologized, but it was a very casual apology that wasn’t quite befitting something this significant. After she dropped off the check we had to wait, once again, longer than normal to pay. We noticed that our server was bartending, so this explains that. If she is the only bartender on duty this certainly makes sense. That said, there were a large number of employees on staff that night—which was great—so I recommend that management institute a team-serving approach, especially in this case. This also could have help to avoid the food sitting so long, as another person could have brought out our entree or, at the least, alerted our server that it was ready. What is most frustrating is that no manager ever stopped by to check on us, to check on the kitchen (I.e our sitting food), or to offer an apology. We didn’t request to speak to the manager, as this is just not something I enjoy doing: nor did I want to give the impression that I wanted any free food. I do not desire that all. All I really want is an apology, and a guarantee that our next experience will be better than this one."

"My daughter and I ate here today, for lunch. We were blown away!!! The food was spectacular!!! Best Taco I’ve ever had!!!! The chips and sauces were also excellent. So glad I have a new favorite restaurant."
