Paseo Cantina is one of Pasadena's top Mexican Restaurants. Making the atmosphere all that much better is the live Maricahi Bands that play there. We recommend Paseo Cantina to everyone!

We were rather non-plussed with Paseo Cantina. The food was good, but rather expensive. The service was okay, though my dinner-mate had an empty water glass for most of his meal. I do have to admit with some of the other reviewers, that the drinks were rather watered down, and for the price, not the best...
We might go back, but have no strong desire to...

When I worked in Pasadena my coworkers and I would always make a point to stop at Paseo Cantina. The food was great, always hot and fresh. Never a long wait and the service was good too.

Everything in One Mexican Restaurant ...
by Jessmercedes
I've been to this restaurant several times and will continue coming back (smile) excellent food, service and drinks! Any time I have guests that come into town ...its a must to have dinner or brunch there - Wonderful experience from the entertainment (Mariachis are outstanding! Exceptional! Treat overall) food, service and Margaritas are divine ...Finally a Mexican restaurant in Pasadena that offers it all!

The Worst
by VelaLuka
I took my family on Sunday and couldn't be more disappointed. The food was horrible. The chile rellenos were raw the beans were cold like they were scooped out of the can and the rice was white salty and mushy. I grew up in a traditional Mexican neighborhood and worked in Mexico City for 5 years so trust me this was insulting. The Mariachi band was outstanding but the volume was in the 200 decible range so the server has to ask for you order several times. If this place is hoping to attract Latinos it won't last. I am at a loss for words to tell you how bad this place was. Never again.

Only because i have to give it one star... it doesn't even deserve that. This place was expensive, and the food was horrible.... I didn't finish my dish. And they got our order wrong so my sister in law didn't even get her food till we were all done. Everyone at our table was unhappy with their meal, and we ended up visiting the Hat right after for some chili fries... Stay away from this restaurant, your better off with canned beans.
Pros: the colors
Cons: everything else.

Avoid at all costs
by Beliebt
Mediocre food and SOME OF THE WORST SERVICE I have ever experienced. AND they billed my credit card for an extra $50 that was not on my receipt. [It was business travel, so I kept the receipt.] Very dodgy. Avoid at all costs.
Cons: Fake billing. Terrible service.

Avoid the watered down Tequila!!!!
by chepito
I recently went to the Paseo Cantina on Friday. I brought along my girlfriend, who is very Fine, and her sister. We all went there with the intention of having a great time, drinking and hearing the live mariachi band. The band was fantastic and the food was descent. My only complaint is that all three of us had 5 shots of tequila (Patron) within a two hour period, and none of us even had a slight buzz. On any other day 2 shots of tequila would have me on the floor drunk out of my mind. But for some reason these "watered" down shots of tequila didn't have any effect on me. So my advice to anybody that wants to have a great time with a good buzz, is to just order beer. Believe me! or else all you'll be drinking is some expensive water in a shot glass.
