Welcome to La Cantina
More to Mexican Food Than Tortilla and Chiles


There is something for everyone. young and old alike, in our menu which is designed to reflect an array of authentic Mexican and Continental foods.
Let us guide you through this great food experience. 

Great Gifts from Mexico

The Aztecs and Mayan dynasties had built great empires that ruled over ‘Maseoamerica’ until the Spaniards renamed it Mexico. Gifts from the Aztecs to the world’s kitchens include Chocolate, Corn, Courgettes, Tomatoes, Turkey, Chiles, Beans and of course the flour and corn tortilla, according to legend, invented by a peasant for his hungry king, which dates back 10,000 years before Christ.

Mexican Cooking 
Mexican cooking has so much more to offer than you have come to expect.
It may surprise you to know that a lot of authentic Mexican food is not usually spicy at all. This menu reflects this with the majority of dishes bursting with bold and complex flavours but no chile. Oaxaca, Mexico City, Pacific Coast and Jalisco are some of the regions of Mexico that offer very different styles of cooking. There are many casseroles, grilled meat and fish dishes that are quite distinctive to their region. Of course, there is also the Tex Mex style which is a confluence of two cultures.   

Healthy Eating
Foods naturally high in protein, fibre and nutrition like pumpkin seeds, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, tomatillos, pulses, citrus fruits, herbs, green vegetables and more are in our menu.   Chiles, of all shapes and sizes are known to boost your immune system. and are also considered an aphrodisiac!   The corn tortilla is naturally gluten free, which is great for people that have an intolerance to wheat -  The oil we use for frying is pure rapeseed, which is naturally cholesterol-free, low in saturates with absolutely no transfats. 
All these items and more are featured in this menu.
