About Us

Inspired by Mexico, Built in BC.

What started in Nelson in 2012, built from the recipes and memories founder Brad Filleul gathered over a decade of travels through Mexico, has grown into three taco houses with one passion: food and drinks done right. Margaritas, cocktails and agave spirits worth the trip. Pair that with a non-traditional take on Mexican classics, a good dose of BC mountain-town culture, and a room full of good people, and you've got a Cantina night.

The Cantina Way

Uncompromised Quality

We are committed to providing the best possible quality of service, food, beverages, and atmosphere to create memorable experiences and a sense of belonging. Everyone is welcome here!

We opened our first cantina in Nelson, BC, and never looked back. Kelowna and Revelstoke followed — each with its own character, its own animal spirit, its own crew.

What we stand for

Real Agave, Always

No mixto. No shortcuts. If it’s on our bar, it’s the real thing. Sourced with intention and poured with pride.

Community First

We hire local, source local, and party local. Every cantina is woven into the fabric of its town.

The Energy is Sacred

Good food is only half of it. The music, the light, the energy in the room, that’s the other half.
