Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Crown Cantina delights with its "outstanding" service, vibrant atmosphere, and "delicious" Mexican-inspired cuisine. The menu is entirely gluten-free, offering "fresh" and "flavorful" dishes like carne asada and chicken mole. Guests praise the "amazing" drinks, especially the avocado jalapeño margarita. A must-visit for both casual nights and special celebrations.

Donavan was our server, and he was delightful! He had great customer service, as everyone did in there, including the manager who stopped by. Our server was helpful in making suggestions and answering questions. Margarita No 13 was so yummy as well as the guac and chicken mole. Highly suggest this entire order. The atmosphere was great! We will definitely be going back.

The service was outstanding. We loved the food and drinks. We had the guacamole, the wedge salad and the carne asada with shrimp added. All of the food was perfectly prepared and delicious. I definitely want to return.

Fun atmosphere. Our waiter was attentive, but there was a long wait between appetizer and main course. We let him know we needed to leave at a specific time for a show. Ended up only having about 10 minutes to eat our main course. My enchiladas were doused in green sauce that was lukewarm. So the whole dish tasted cool and undercooked. Disappointing. The wedge salad was good. But the name is misleading. It’s really a gem said with a green goddess like dressing. Liked it but if you were expecting an actual wedge that this not.

Cam provided great service. Food was flavorful. I enjoyed the Baja fish taco more than the main dish. Very nice, intimate restaurant. Not too crowded. Very pleasant experience.
