In the trendy LX Factory, there’s no lack of good food, but Cantina offers theirs in a rustic setting at a fair price. Their grilled duck, pork, rabbit, and lamb are seasoned to perfection and charred just right on their indoor charcoal grill. In the mood for some seafood? You’re in luck. The salmon, shrimp, octopus, and cod are always tender and fresh. The space might be large, but at times it can be difficult to get a table and once you do get seated, it can take a while to get the waiter’s attention. Be ready with your order when they do finally come around, otherwise dinner can take a lot longer than you anticipated.
