Mexican food has become a culinary fixture on the Charlotte restaurant scene, largely thanks to Cantina 1511 Mexican restaurant. With roots firmly grounded in long-established Mexican cooking traditions, Cantina is where foodies flock for authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails.
Both locations Dilworth's trendy East Boulevard and in the upscale Ballantyne area have earned quite the following. Owner Frank Scibelli's experiences in Mexico serve as the inspiration for the award-winning menu. And Cantina's spacious, decorative settings reflect the spirit of the festive country. Celebrating springtime on the outdoor cabana patio or cozying up in a corner booth, Cantina is the perfect place to gather for memorable meals and great times.

I couldn't agree more with other customers saying that this is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've tried. I'm the typical picky eater, but have been pleased with EVERY dish I've had. I've only visited the East Blvd location, but each time all of the staff were friendly & had no problems with the ordering, etc. There is, however a longer wait that I would like on Thurs - Sat, but hey, I'm sure the owner loves that problem. They deserve to be this busy. Really great food, great atmosphere! You should try it yourself.
This one's a keeper!

Cantina 1511 was such an amazing surprise. If you go in expecting the typical fare you get in most chain Mexican restaurants, swimming in grease and cheese, you will be disappointed. The food was truly authentic Mexican cuisine, the same as I have experienced in Mexico City and other trips to the country. We went to the Ballantyne location but I'm sure the Dilworth location is equally as good. The guacamole was as fresh as you can get it - prepared right in front of you at the table. I had the Tacos al Pastore. The combination of the super tender pork, pineapple and habanero sauce was simply to die for. I ordered it on a flour tortilla but after a discussion with the manager, he recommended next time to order on a soft corn for another unique taste. We were going to skip dessert because we were so full and had asked for the check. To our surprise, a complimentary piece of the Nutella cake was given to us. Definitely worth the extra calories. The staff, from the hostess, waiter to the manager were top notch - all experts in customer service and so very accomodating. I only wish I remembered their names to give them proper credit. The only negative thing I can say was the wait time is pretty long. And that's not even a negative - it's an indication of the great food you can expect.
Pros: Excellent service, authentic high quality food
Cons: Waiting time (but to be expected with good food)
Great fresh tasting food

Just been to Cantina 1511 after having heard some good things. The area we sat in was nice and cosy. The food tasted great. The service was good and we will definitely be going back. We had the steak quesadilla and the Barbaroa de Percoa (or something like that) - it was mexican barbecue pork with rice and beans, shredded cheese, salad, guacamole and pico de gallo - very yummy. I saved some for later too!
