La Cantina Mexican Restaurant

My sisters and I decided to come here because we saw that another review mentioned they serve white queso. (Surprisingly difficult to find around here.) I’m so glad we did! I prob wouldn’t have noticed or thought much of this place because it’s attached to the Executive Inn motel. Everything we ordered was really good. I especially loved the salsa. My sisters loved the guacamole. The queso was just what I was craving. Our server, Junior, was personable, fast and helpful. One of my sisters ordered the monster house margarita (46 oz, $ 16), I got the jumbo (27 oz, $ 9 I think), the other sister had a Clamato with Corona. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. (I forgot what entrees they ordered… but I do remember raves about the tomatillo salsa.) Great drinks, food and service at very reasonable prices! Can’t beat that with a stick. The security guy and one of the servers even invited us to stay for salsa night (Friday night) but we had to get home. We felt very welcome, satisfied and tipsy by the time we left because the drinks are no BS. I’ll be back often.

The first time I had their fajita enchilada, it was amazing. Unfortunately it hasn’t been as great since, but it’s definitely still tasty. The salsa is pretty good but the queso is a little on the bland side. The service is usually pretty great. It’s a very solid choice for Mexican food and customers shouldn’t be dissuaded by the fact that it’s located in a hotel.

My boyfriend and I aren’t from around here but we tried this place the other night and it was absolutely amazing! We have been having a tough time finding authentic salsa and this place sure was what we’ve been looking for! Their margaritas are delicious and so are there enchiladas. We didn’t try the cheese dip but from looking at all of the reviews below we definitely need to. Dion was our server and he was on top of things, funny, and super polite. I would definitely go there again and I would also request Dion as our server!

We’ve been here a few times, service is friendly, food is pretty fast. The best part is the cheese dip. YUM!

Love the chicken and veggies. I usually come here with a big group and they do a great job keeping all the drinks filled.

Was really looking for some off the menu items. The fish tacos I ordered did have all the fixins. Not bad never ending tortillas with salsa served in a mini carafe. Big screens to watch sports and bar hop skip and away. Also hotel next door adds to the convenience. Needs a bigger outdoor sign to be seen instead of passed up.

I haven’t tried many Mexican restaurants in Lawton, but so far this one is my favorite. The food is pretty flavorful and their margaritas are decent. I tired the chicken chimichanga and my boyfriend had a quesadilla both of which were pretty good. He’s been back a few times and says he likes the chicken enchiladas. The service was good as well. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely be going back!

Everything was flat. The presentation was poor, the flavor of the taco was bland and stale. The enchilada just confused me. Not coming back.

Food was just OK, service was terrible, chips tasted old and cheese dip was cold and clumped.

Having just moved to Medicine Park, OK, we were on the search for a good tex mex place. I’m happy to say we have found it! Don’t be alarmed or misconceived by the location… the restaurant is attached to a motel that rents rooms for $ 40/​night. The food beats all the other places in town and trust me. we’ve tried a lot of them. Coming from San Antonio we’ve had our share of good tex mex and I’m excited to say that this is the best! tender, juicy fajitas… tasty margaritas… ice cold beer… crispy chips… delicious salsa with the option of a hotter habenero salsa if you dare –YUM! I could go on and on but I have a better idea… you should try it yourself! Sorry no pics… started eating and then though about it.

We decided to try this place, even though our experience with mexican food (especially cheese dip) hasn’t been the best. We have now been here twice. The food has been great and the service even better. Definitely recommend it!
P. s. love the white cheese dip!

Had there al pastor tacos, which were full of flavor and kudos because their al pastor had pineapple in it! The rice had just the right amount of seasoning and wasn’t dried out but nice and fluffy. They have a 32oz draft beer for $ 4.95, can’t beat that. The service was good and the food came out fast. Definitely will be back and they also have TVs throughout the restaurant so you can watch games! The restaurant looks like it’s been renovated with nice Spanish décor.

This place is located in the Executive Inn hotel which initially made me a little skeptical, but once I stepped inside it’s actually pretty nice and obviously recently remodeled. They have several TV’s going kind of like a sports bar, but not overpowering for conversations or a family meal. We didn’t opt to sit outside but they have what appears to be a large and very nice covered patio area. This appears to be a popular portion of the restaurant.
I ordered the carne asada tacos and my wife ordered the mixed fajitas with shrimp, beef, and chicken. Both were very good. Chips and salsa were good but not stellar. Service was excellent and very friendly. It’s certainly not San Antonio Texmex, but for Lawton I definitely recommend.

Spectacular food and margaritas … if you like spicy salsa ask for the hotter stuff, not super hot but has a little kick.

This is my new favorite place to get great Mexican food in Lawton. It is reasonably priced and I haven’t tried one thing on the menu I didnt like. The staff are always friendly and attentive. The chips and queso blanco are absolutely delicious. On top of the amazing food the maragritas are excellent! I highly recommend this place to anyone.

Food was OK and pretty cheap. Chips are the worst I have had in Lawton, they simply did not taste fresh and tasted like they were store bought. The chips also do not come with queso which every other place in town offers. We visited the restaurant on a slow evening with about a third of their tables full of guests. The service was less than mediocre. I had a near empty glass of Dr. Pepper for anywhere from 7 – 10 minutes. I’m not sure if it was because it was slow, but our food was out to us pretty quickly, maybe 5 – 7 minutes. Surprisingly, the food is inconsistent, my girlfriend and I both got chile rellenos mine was good and her’s tasted funny. Otherwise, the food was pretty good. I ordered the chile relleno, chicken burrito, and chicken taco from the make your own combo and my girlfriend got the chile relleno, cheese enchilada, and a chicken burrito as well. If they step up their service and offer chips that are comparable to other great Mexican places in town, they might stand a chance.
