    Two in our party are gluten free, and it was delightful not to have to worry about that plus everything was delicious.

    Food and drinks were awesome. The avocado margarita was my favorite. Even the cake is gluten free!!! Space is small and it’s a little cold.

    We arrived a few minutes early for our 5:30 reservation and was promptly greeted however we were taken to the table by the bathroom and kitchen when there were other tables available. I requested a different table and the host took a few minutes but seated us at a more favorable table BUT told us we had to be out of the table by 6:45 which I thought was an odd request. As it turns out when we left there was no one waiting for our table when we left around 7. After that the evening went much better, Cam was our server, and he did wonderful job explaining the menu to our friends who had not dined there including explaining the drinks and their spice level. I had the ghost pepper guava margarita, and it was delicious. Others enjoyed the pina colada margarita at our table. We had the Hamachi-it was delicious as was the Camerone dish-it was outstanding. Overall, highly recommend Crown Cantina!

    Sat at the bar. The bartender was just okay…. The food was good. We would definitely try it again but, not sit at the bar.

    res made, walked into empty place... asked for different seating, wasn't gracious about the change.. service a bit snooty. food good, but very small portions... except for chicken mole dish which looked like a flotilla of rice swimming in sauce... chicken was pathetic. Price not
