Local Cantina Grandview - Columbus

Food is okay Mexican food, but DO NOT order margarita pitchers because they?re a rip off. And apparently the owner wants to trick customers into paying more for less. The 4 of us were going to get the same type of margarita so I said we?d just take a pitcher. The pitcher came and it only filled 4 glasses but was more expensive than ordering 4 separate drinks! $8 per drink vs $40 per pitcher . We pointed this out to the server and she acknowledged that the pitchers are a worse deal than ordering individual drinks which makes no sense! , said she?s ?not allowed to undersell? to tell us that it was a bad deal, didn?t apologize, and didn?t offer to update the check to only have us pay for 4 drinks. There?s no way that we?re the first people who?ve realized the numbers don?t add up. It?s just crazy to me that this place?s business model is to screw over customers so nobody ever comes back again?

My girlfriend and I sat down for Dinner at 8pm. The bar top was super clean and we noticed other tables were the same. ?We learned you have to serve yourself for chips and salsa.? What a novel idea! (Never have I seen this at a Mexican restaurant. Bartender took our order, and food came out 15 mins later. The silverware was brought with the food. The chicken fajita burrito was very tasty, a ton of flavor and a explosion of black beans ?delicious?. Never have I had fajitas burritos with black beans before. The bill was very reasonable for post Covid prices. I really enjoyed serving myself chips salsa, the cleanliness, and food Quality. I will be coming back in the future and I definitely do recommend.

A friend and I sat down for Lunch at 3pm when this place opened up. The table we got still was sticky, and had crumbs from previous patron the day before, we noticed other tables were the same. ?We learned you have to serve yourself for chips and salsa.? ?Not very sanitary?. (Never have I seen this at a Mexican restaurant. Waitress took our order, and food came out 25 mins later. They did not give out silverware with the food. The chicken fajita burrito was very bland, no flavor and a explosion of black beans ?Gross?. Never have had fajitas burritos with black beans before. The bill was very pricey for having to serve myself for chips salsa and not being very clean, and food Quality was not good. I will not be coming back in the future and I definitely don?t recommend unless you wanna get sick. (Make them clean the tables

This particular location is very solid, and very consistent with regard to the experience. The food is excellent, and over the years I've been going to this location I've only ever had poor service once, and that guy was gone very quickly. The staff is very friendly, and very obviously like each other. I don't drink often and am not an expert judge of the bartending, but I have been very satisfied with the drinks I've ordered.

I ate a delicious middle afternoon meal [neither lunch nor supper earlier today [8 4 2022 at Local Cantina Grandview. I had eaten yesterday [8 3 2022 at Local Cantina Brewery District [at 743 S. High St. ; I then decided, this afternoon, that I would eat for two days in a row at a Local Cantina restaurant [though at a different restaurant each day . I ordered and ate my traditional Plain Jane Cheese quesadilla and Street Corn. My Street Corn had been slightly different from the Street Corn that I had eaten yesterday [at Local Cantina Brewery District but had been just as delicious. The only change that I had noticed had been that my Street Corn had cost $7.00 rather than $6.00. My server told me that Local Cantina is in the middle of a menu change but that not all Local Cantina restaurants will be changing menus at the same time. My server later told me that Local Cantina Grandview is the first location of Local Cantina that had opened. I would define that location as a stealth Local Cantina because they do not have the familiar large orange awning in front of their building that I have seen at two of their other locations. They are immediately west of Aladdin 's Eatery Grandview but are far less visible than Aladdin 's Eatery Grandview. The wall decorations at Local Cantina Grandview are as varied and interesting as they are at their several other locations. If you are looking for a delicious meal at a location that has many interesting wall decorations, I strongly recommend Local Cantina Grandview.
