Our Guestbook
“ Recently went back to Mojave Cantina for another try as the first visit when they opened wasn’t that great. This time the food was much better and the drinks were excellent. Our server was attentive and made great recommendations regarding our preferences. She did a great job and the patio was clean and made for a nice time in the sunshine. Glad I gave them a second try and will be back again in the future because they are now dialed in 100%. ”
“ I had the most pleasurable first time experience here today! I ordered about 30 of food that wasn't exactly to my liking, a risk you take trying something new. The staff took a notice and the manager came directly over. I could tell she was genuinely interested in any sort of feedback. She listened to what I had to say and suggested something she thought I would like and asked if she could bring it out for me to try. She brought two whole meals out at no extra charge, and simply went above and beyond to make the customer happy. That seems to be so lost in most places now a days and it was like a breath of fresh air. Her dedication to running a great place of work really shined through! Not to mention I absolutely loved the second dish [Birria tacos] it was so amazing!!!! I will definitely be ordering it again! I would recommend this place 100x the staff, food and atmosphere were superb! ”
