"BEST guacamole in town! If you ask for fresh guacamole they bring their ingredients on a cart and prepare it right there in front of you. This is great because i don't like it when my guacamole is cold from being in the fridge. Great flavors. The small portion is made with one avocado. The waiters are all very nice. They have mariachi playing on Friday evenings. Plenty parking spots. Outdoor seating available."

"In a city saturated with Mexican restaurants that are virtually all the same, Cabana's is a different vibe and by far the best! Great atmosphere, great service, AWESOME margaritas (be careful haha) and a very friendly staff. Table side guac is a delicious bonus. Drink specials on weekdays, mariachi band on the weekends, outdoor patio area and taco Tuesday shouldn't be missed!!"

"A few days ago I went, together with my boyfriend and we liked it, a lot!! The horchata water was super good, the food, and dessert, not to mention!! It was good, just a detail of the glass of horchata water. It had a strange smell, and apparently they charge you extra, on your ticket, I don’t know if it’s a tip or what it is! From there on, everything is fine!! We’ll be back !! Buen Restaurante"
