Had lunch here today. Good food, and a decent margarita. The salsa served with the chips was really thin and watery, but had a good flavor. Service was also good.

Maybe not worth a special trip, but good if you're in the area. Prices are neither high or low, just average.

Cantina is the last house in Gruene before the descent to the Comal river. It is a rustic structure, with a few indoor tables and a few on the outside, on a deck. The food is average Tex-Mex, served by very young girls in tight shorts and without much expertise in waiting. Beer and wine, as well as a few basic cocktails are also available. Prices are what you would expect from a basic Tex-Mex place.

Nice view when sitting outside. Fajitas were AMAZING as were the margaritas. Just be warned that if you by wine at the wineries they will not allow you to take your unopened bottles to the table with you.
But over all a nice place with good food!

While on a girls weekend trip, a friend suggested stopping at the Cantina-stating the Sangria was really good! I agree, it was great and the rest of the girls really liked their margarita's. We all ordered food and as funny as it sounds, why have a burger at a Mexican food place. Yum -I had the Gruene Chile Cheeseburger, 1/3 pound- it was pretty amazing! The chips and salsa were pretty good as well! Would definitely go back!!

This place is aweeesome. We started out with the chips and salsa and queso. The strawberry margaritas were amazing. The cheese enchiladas were soooooo good. The best Mexican food I have had in awhile. Great little place off the beaten path. Loved the decor and atmosphere.
