Midtown's Cantina Alley

The food is good but the music is way to loud. I don't like to have to shout to my table mates or to the server. When we asked for a quieter table, the hostess did her best to find a location, but almost every table has a speaker blaring techno dance music nearby. We won't be back.

A friend celebrated their birthday by having us out to lunch here. Seating was open and we picked a spot off to the side for the four of us. They don't do chips and salsa, but we were able to do a tostada and guacamole as a substitute. The birthday boy ordered the watermelon margarita and it came with pieces of pineapple with seasoning. We collectively ordered the Baja fish tacos, chicken tingas, asada quesadilla, al pastor quesadilla, and tostada de ceviche. It was all delicious and with some decent flavor and spice. Our server was very attentive and all of our needs were handled throughout. Prices were reasonable and we enjoyed our lunch overall.

We visited Midtown's Cantina Alley on a busy evening (I think there was a soccer game earlier in the day). We were told there was an over thirty minute wait but we decided to wait and see. It probably took about 20 min so it wasn't too bad. They send you a text when your table is ready. The menu was pretty extensive but not overwhelming. We ordered the al pastor torta, flautas, and three tacos: chorizo, fish, and carne asada. I loved the flautas which had a salsa that offered a spicy kick every so often. The tacos were good but I would not order the carne asada again it was kind of dry. The chorizo was my favorite followed by the fish taco which was beer battered! My husband loved his torta which was filled with various toppings and a generous amount of avocado. I wanted to try one of the soups but alas there was not enough stomach room for another dish. Perhaps next time. They seemed a bit understaffed. It took us a long time to get a hold of someone for water refills. The restaurant
