    As far as noise level....we always sit outside so don't care about level! And if u like to get bang for ur buck w/frozen margs then get 1 of their frozen top shelf margs! It's what is their frozen machine! I get their puffy ck taco and a side salad! All their food is excellent! Micah has been our server for past several times and he is great! Personable/thorough/cks in w/us to see what is needed. Been eating there before every UT Longhorn game for years!

    Great attentive service we sat outside on the patio which was very comfortable. Food was very good had a great tortilla soup which was excellent and we split an appetizer of cheese with tortillas that was delicious. Portions were very generous. Overall great place would definitely recommend and will return.

    Really enjoyed our meal. Service was excellent. Very nice ambience. Liked that the cantina was fairly small indoors so conversation was easy to hear.

    We sat outdoors to enjoy the weather, so there was moderate noise. Still very manageable to have conversation on the patio! Great food--"elevated" Tex-Mex at a very reasonable price. Fresh, delicious, lots of variety.
