Today, I ventured out with friends to explore Central, discovering unique spots like the Medical Museum and PMQ. We stumbled upon a vibrant Mexican restaurant, Santa Monica Cantina, nestled near Tai Kwun. Intrigued by the cuisine, which is not something I often indulge in, we decided to give it a try.The atmosphere was relaxed, likely due to the early hour with few patrons.

The atmosphere was relaxed, likely due to the early hour with few patrons. The modern decor added a touch of elegance, and I can only imagine how lively it becomes in the evening. The bar, centrally located, serves as the restaurant's focal point, inviting guests to unwind with a drink.
What We Ordered
We opted for the set salad, Santa Monica burger, beef tacos (with both beef and chicken options), and a side of chips.
Set Salad: Fresh and crisp, it was a delightful start. The combination of ingredients was refreshing, perfectly dressed to enhance the flavors without overpowering them.
Santa Monica Burger: This was a standout! Juicy and well-seasoned, the burger was complemented by fresh toppings and a perfectly toasted bun. It delivered a satisfying bite that left us wanting more.
Beef Tacos: The tacos were a highlight of our meal. The beef was tender and flavorful, while the chicken option offered a nice contrast. Served with vibrant toppings, each bite was a delicious explosion of flavor.
Chips: Crispy and addictive, the chips were the perfect accompaniment to our tacos, providing a satisfying crunch.
Overall Impression
Santa Monica Cantina offers a delightful experience with its unique Mexican offerings in a stylish setting. The mix of flavors and the quality of ingredients made for a memorable meal. I appreciate the variety in the menu, including their lunch sets and extensive drink options, which are essential in the SOHO area. I look forward to visiting again, perhaps in the evening when the atmosphere truly comes alive.
