Cantina Del Centro - Nelson

Not 100% vegan but healthy food. They have an experienced vegan chef. Restaurant doesn’t smell like meat. Have vegan nachos with vegan cheese, and few different taco options. Gluten free options too.

Came in for dinner since it’s late October on a Sunday and therefore few places with vegan options to choose from. Ordered the vegan burrito and loved it! They have quite a variety of vegan options in the menu. Highly recommends his place. It’s small and intimate with the cantina feel. If your in Nelson.......this is your place!

The food is delicious with a twist. We had the chicken enchilada, chips, and guacamole. For dessert a Brule donuts, which was heavenly. Their drinks are also the best. The waitress was on her game and funny.

What a great little restaurant! Drinks were incredibly crafted and not over the top sweet. I ordered a classic margarita that was not over the top sweet, but just right. We also got the trio dip (the bean dip OMG yum! , and the burger of the month which had a fried chicken patty on it! The ambience is quaint and intimate, perfect for a nice little date night : Jenni Lane was our server and was so sweet and wonderful to us! Highly recommend Cantina del Centro if you are in the Nelson area!

So, it is a post COVID world, inflation is red hot, and Nelson is a quiet town. Cantina del Centro is BUSY, its got a vibe, and there are people wall to wall at the bar. So it 's safe to think that the drinks are modern, and awesome. We took some to go, and TBH with you, margarita 's to go probably shouldn 't be a thing (at $12 ea. unless they are going to be large sized. : The food was interesting, unique, and well prepared. Wings were good, and street tacos solid! To me, given the current pace of inflation might be fairly priced, but felt....light (portion wise . Desserts same not awesome for example the 'tres leches ' was more like a soaked deconstructed pound cake, and portions small. I 'm over 45 yrs old, so maybe I 've old fashioned, and wanting to be full after I spend $200 for tacos for 4 dessert. (shrug hard to call Service (for pick up was awesome. McKenzie. The room bad ass. Go if you want to have fun, seemed like a bustling locale.
