About

Cantina has a prime spot in Porthleven with great views, but it seems to be struggling with consistency. While some diners love the vibrant atmosphere and tacos, others have had poor experiences with cold food and slow service. It is a fun place for a drink and a snack, but maybe not the most reliable for a full meal just yet. It is worth a visit for the vibe alone.
