Reviews for Cantinflas Mexican and Vegetarian Cuisine in Greenville, SC

Food is fantastic, BUT there wasn't a lot of it. It was all cooked really good had plenty of chips, lots of salsa, very much... texmex or American Mexican. The atmosphere was really chill and laid back. We went during a time when others were out at gamelocations to watch the Sat games so no one was in. So that was great! The service was EXCELLENT!! Our waiter was a great guy,really nice attentive kept our drinks filled and the chips coming. He joked with us constantly and was just awesome to havearound! We really enjoyed having him!!! For the downside....its expensive. For a Mexican restaurant it was PRICEY $80 for 2adult meals, a kids cheese taco and sangria. I was a little surprised at the sticker price but kid of shrugged it off toinflation. Still a good meal, just want to give others a heads up to the price! Read more

My soup was very good, but my total bill was $20 for chicken soup, tea and corn chips. The medium to go tea was $4, I asked for... corn chips instead of the tortilla that came with the order (because I have a gluten allergy). He brought me 3 small chips chipsand salsa. So I ordered a basket of chips and salsa which usually comes with your dinner they were $4 extra. I asked the waiterto put my leftover soup in a to go container. He said I would have to do that myself. I was concerned about spilling the soup. Iwill not eat here again. The waiter seemed put out with me because I had a couple question. I asked what was in the soup. If Ispend $20 for lunch I would like the waiter to be pleasant not like I was too much trouble. I only asked about soup ingredientsbecause I have a gluten and dairy allergy. I asked about exchanging the flour tortilla for corn chips because I have a glutenallergy, more ice for my tea and if he could fix my leftover soup. The food was good but over priced for lunch and the servicewas terrible. I usually over tip about 20% or more but I didn't tip at all today. I have only done that about 3 times in mylife. Read more

My wife and I came for dinner randomly and are really happy! Great service and the food was delicious. The chips and salsa were... on point and fresh - and they really delivered more then expected. I read some reviews saying it was pricey and it wasn't cheapbut wasn't overpriced either and IT'S DOWNTOWN - so yes, it will cost more! Well worth the price in my opinion! Read more

Ate hear a few days ago after a long bike ride on swamp Rabbit Trail trail. I was very pleasantly surprised how good the food is... here. I definitely will be back. Only complaint is the sever can be more attentive, other than that everything was great. Read more

This place is amazing! I'm a vegetarian due to a meat allergy, and I got the rice bowl it was excellent. They cooked my veggies... in a separate pan. My husband got the burrito deluxe and he said it was excellent. He never compliments anything and he was veryimpressed. A must try if you're in downtown greenville. ???? Read more

The food here was very authentic and delicious. I got a veggie rice bowl for lunch with pinto beans. I would definitely eat it... again. The only thing that could use work is the attentiveness of the server. It took a long time to get our bill & to getcashed out. Other than that it was a pleasure experience. Read more

Here is the breakdown: (-2) stars for the ridiculously overpriced food. Spent $75 (including tip) for two kids and two adults... (no drinks). Chips and salsa not included, kids meals were $10 a piece! (-1) star for food quality. It was good, but not great,especially considering how much we paid. (+2) stars because the staff was very sweet and accommodating as we had to get in andget out quickly to catch a show at the Peace Center. Overall service was good. Read more

I loved it here! The staff was so polite and very helpful. Food was out quick and hot and I would say very authentic Mexican... food. Great vegetarian options as well. Would definitely go back!! Read more
