Xavi's Cantina Grill - Chino Hills

When we were finally seated, our waiter was pleasant and seemed a bit stressed, but he was nice nonetheless. The food was just average, but when you're hungry and have driven 50 miles to dine with family, you make do. Also, I think there should be more than one blender for margaritas at a restaurant. And a bit of Mexican music would really enhance the atmosphere—after all, it is a Cantina, right?

The food here is decent, but the cheese enchiladas could use some improvement. The other dishes we tried were quite good, as we sampled a variety at a party we attended. The service was commendable, and the atmosphere was pleasant. However, I do have one complaint: the bathrooms had an unpleasant odor. I'm surprised the owner hasn't taken the initiative to replace the wax rings on the toilets. Overall, I would give the food a 3 out of 5.

I visited this restaurant on Saturday at noon when it was relatively empty, so I expected good service. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. It took over an hour to place my order, and the food was underwhelming. I won’t be returning.

I visited this restaurant for the first time to meet my sister, brother-in-law, and cousin. Otherwise, I wouldn't have driven half an hour from Whittier. Food rating: 3 out of 5.

The food was tasty, but the portions were on the small side. The service was attentive, but the strawberry margarita was a bit weak—could have used a little more tequila. The atmosphere also fell flat; it would have been nice to have some Mexican music playing to liven things up. Overall, I'd rate the food a 3 out of 5.
