Social Cantina

Last month, I visited the Social Cantina twice! It was that good! I got to try their Jack Frost margarita, which was their margarita of the month. It was delicious. I think I had like three of them. It was only $5, but it still tasted like a high quality cocktail. For the appetizer, I started off with their chips and queso. And let me tell you this was probably the best chips and queso I have ever had. What really sets it off is the chips, because they put tajin on them. Which pairs really nicely with the cheese. Their guacamole is also really fresh and delicious as well. The first time I went, I had the Birria tacos for my entree. They come with a side of rice and beans. I'm not a huge bean person myself, but everything else was delicious. The second time I went I had the Chicken Tinga Quesadilla. I'm not exactly sure what all was in it, but it was very flavorful! I think I liked it better than the tacos. 😋 I honestly can't wait to go back and try some more stuff from their menu. And I hear you can get margarita pitchers to share on Thursdays! 🤯❤️ Also, I feel like this place is definitely a hidden gem. 💎 The two times that I've been there it wasn't crowded at all. But honestly I kind of like that in the restaurant. Sometimes too much noise is a bad thing. 🤷🏽 (P.S. sorry I didn't get pictures of everything I talked about. I was busy eating lol.)

First time here was on Saturday night. First impression was our hostess she was lovely so kind and very energetic! The decor and environment was very modern. Also our waitress was so attentive and was so personable. Loved her I wish I got her name definitely recommend (she was also a bartender)! Drinks were delicious she can make a killer drink!!! 😋 The one thing that kinda doesn't meet my standards or the same level of wow was the food... the best thing I had was the party nachos! It was delicious with the steak! The other food we had that was good was the shrimp tacos! Then we come to our main courses. The birrirra tacos were salty and burnt tasting. The dipping juice was bland. To day none of what we ordered was authentic at all. It was all very tex-Mex. The chicken enchiladas had what I believed to be canned chicken. I know the difference i believed very much its canned.... but I could be wrong. They had a bad flavor as well almost metallic. We also had the esquites and chips. They were a little off they came with a strange chilli powder that tasted off but it was alright. Then the rice was all 100% pre-made/ minute rice. I mean besides that the waitress saved the night with her wonderful service! We ended up returning the enchiladas to the kitchen and I had shared my birrirra tacos with everyone at the table and we all absolutely loved the nachos!

I had a great experience at Social Cantina in Downtown Indianapolis! I ordered the Baja fish taco and made it a “Social” with cilantro lime rice, black beans, and queso, plus a side of tortilla chips. Everything was incredibly flavorful and absolutely delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked, and all the sides complemented it so well. The atmosphere had such a good vibe—we sat at the bar and really enjoyed the energy. Our server, Ivory, was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing.

After a long weekend of working 12-14 hour days on our feet, we took a walk to Social Cantina to get some food and drinks and to unwind. Sam was our waitress and we all agreed 100% this was our best post event dinner we’ve had in years. Sam was attentive, had a ton of personality, made sure we had everything we needed and overall made the experience better. We enjoyed the food (Sam made sure to answer our questions and recommend things to us) - lots of flavor, good portion sizes, plenty of options. We will be back in a few months for another event and have decided we will definitely revisit and get more people to show up with us. Social Cantina is a great choice for a good wind down in a solid atmosphere. Highly recommend! Thanks Sam!
