Residents say, "The staff is wonderful, the salsa is excellent, the lighting is low and the margaritas pass muster." And there's the music; "El Cantinero plays Mexican/ Latino music; it makes the chips crisper and the margaritas like having your toes in the sands of Acapulco." The menu? "Typical fare. But, out back on the patio under the stars, it tastes a little better."
