We made reservations for a Friday evening, and were seated immediately. That is about the best thing that happened on our visit. The service was adequate, however, the food took a long time and when it arrived, one of the entrees was missing. Another 5 minute wait brought the food, minus the guacamole mentioned on the menu. Another few minutes... More

This was a great find for us. We ate early because we had kids, but the food was plentiful and delicious and the kids menu was great. I had a sangria margarita that was superb!

It appeared that there were 3 large groups in the restaurant that night; it was overall busy! Crystal Park Cantina doesn't take reservations for parties under 6, so I was glad we showed up early because they filled up soon after. The young hostess appeared distracted when we arrived and she asked us to wait a minute as she answered... More

I had lost my love of mexican flavors until I went to Crystal Park Cantina... although not exactly authentic, I LOVE the flavors they are cooking up here. Just the other day I took my mom and a family friend, they both had the Cantina Burger... it was DELICIOUS... they both absolutely loved it. I usually stick with my chicken... More

After devouring our delicious lunch, we decided to splurge and get some dessert. For the first time after visiting Crystal Park numerous times, our table made the decision to try the sopapillas. Everything we had a lunch was fantastic and we thought the sopapillas would be decent ending to our meal as we polished off our margaritas. Within a few... More

I really wanted to love the Cantina Burger based on a newspaper review I'd read, but it really fell short. The slaw on the burger was practically non-existent, as well as, were the grilled onions. The other meal ordered was the Chile Relleno with the green chile, but again the green chile was very sparse. There was a teaspoon of... More

We ate here on a busy Saturday night. The service was a little slow, but considering how packed the restaurant was that wasn't a big deal. The food was good and the atmosphere was nice. I'd definitely recommend reservations especially if you're planning to go on a weekend or have a large group.

I posted a review awhile back and since then we have eaten at the Cantina several times. The food is still great. It's fresh and flavorful, however, we are now consistently finding that the service is slow. We almost always have to go up to the bar to ask for a second drink and even then the bartender doesn't acknowledge... More

Spending the weekend in Manitou Springs, Co, we decided to try out a family own Mexican restaurant. My first feeling when we were seated is this is not authentic. The restaurant is cozy and clean but no Mexicans around. . We ordered eggs benedict and a smothered potatoes with eggs and green chili since they were still serving breakfast at... More
