Mi Casa Cantina

I stopped by Mi Casa Cantina and had a mixed experience. The service was fast and my waiter was good, which I really appreciated. The food was tasty overall, but I did find what appeared to be small bones in my carnitas, which took away from the meal. The beer was good and the location is very convenient, but the seats were uncomfortable. I won’t give up on this place because there’s potential, but this visit lands at about three stars for me.

It might as well be a McDonalds - you scan the menu with your phone and place your order for drinks and/or food that way. No human interaction at all. $5 for seltzer in a plastic cup. Oy. The salad was ok, I paid for extra black beans and corn - but I could barely tell there were beans in it at all. The dressing was good - the lettuce was fresh. $20 for that…. Well, I AM in an airport. Given the lack of options, I’d eat here again reluctantly.

Hossain was absolutely wonderful, and I LOVED my nacho bowl and spicy marg. The playlist perfectly fit the mood, and all in all was the best way to refuel and unwind during a long day of travel!

Come here for the drinks (as long as you’re ok spending $$$$ as the average cocktail is approx $27) but do not come here for the food. The waiter was nice and efficient. That’s the most positive I can give. I ordered the loaded barbacoa burrito. It is incredibly dry. The vegetables are raw and it’s bland. It listed that it had queso in it. None in sight. Not worth the $$. Salsa is cheap bottled stuff, not like a good cantina or even a decent Mexican restaurant. I was quite disappointed. The pictures actually look better than in-person. My beer was good tho. Lastly, the seats are incredibly uncomfortable. My feet and legs kept falling asleep and I couldn’t get comfortable at all. Maybe to keep people from hanging around? Either way, I wish I had checked reviews before coming here and I wou

I was taking a late flight at Laguardia Airport. Didn't want something heavy to eat. We just wanted a snack and a glass of wine before the flight. They have music, and it was a mellow space.
