    My family wanted to have an early birthday celebration for our son and Malayna made sure that we had a great time. Made sure our food was prepared properly and at the perfect temperature for serving. From Rachael to Malayna we continue to enjoy our dining experience at the Cantina. Can’t wait to return soon!

    They tried to tell me that they did not honor reservations at the bar even though I have made that reservation several other times in the past. I had to get the manager to have my reservation honored at all and then they sat us in the middle of the regular (very loud) restaurant. I ordered a chicken tostada salad which arrived without the chicken and without the tostada, and it did not look quite right. I suspect I got someone else's order. The waiter tried to just bring some chicken on a plate, but thankfully the manager replaced the whole salad. IDK if they were mad at me or if they were using old grease or something, but I was sick all night. Not a good experience.

    Unfortunately my family and I had to spend my birthday week in the Temecula ER due to unforeseen circumstances. So we decided to celebrate at the Cantina. Malayna made us feel so special, we won’t forget the experience she gave us. Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you again Malayna for your continued care and service!
