It’s definitely the outstanding prices that keep people coming back to La Cantina again and again. They offer chips and salsa free of charge throughout your meal, and they have a salsa bar with at least five different types of salsa to choose from. If you are not real hungry, then even a couple of tacos along with the chips will fill you up. However if you come in with a big appetite then the burritos are quite large and likely to do the job.
Along with their excellent Mexican style food, they offer many different types of margaritas and beers. When it comes to the margaritas they do not skimp on the alcohol, making for an excellent place to get a drink. Though the location is a bit odd, considering it’s inside Vail’s transportation center, they still do quite a reasonable amount of business. And, of course, if you’re traveling and have a few extra minutes for one reason or another, you can’t miss this place.
What They’re Known for: La Cantina is often remembered as one of the most affordable places to get a quick and decent meal in Vail.
What to Watch for: Their location is a bit off-putting for some of the customers of La Cantina, seeing as it’s found inside the Vail Transportation Center. It can seem a bit grungy to be stopping at a bus station for lunch or dinner, but hey, they have some of the best tacos and margaritas around.
Price: $5-$10
