Villa Cantina in West Ashley is in a great location off of Sam Rittenberg. Definitely a happening vibe here at this location music is going and several TVs around the bar area and a big screen on one side of the restaurant. The staff here are on point and very friendly!! The food for our first time was fabulous we started with queso dip for the complimentary chips and dip, yum!! Our entrees were the mixed chicken and beef fajitas for one, then the chicken chimichangas and finally the beef chimichangas. Wow the entrees were excellent everyone thought they were very flavorful and delicious!! Villa Cantina was a great experience all the way around and it deserves 5 Stars !!
This was also my first visit to this new restaurant that used to be the old Andolinis. I had a hot, fresh, and tasty fried Chimichanga with beans and rice, while my date had their delicious burrito bowl. The staff were very friendly. Lively good music that makes you move to the beat. They have a nice covered outside seating area with large inside seating large enough for a dance floor. Will be back again.
Good food and service, and really good prices during happy hour. I enjoyed a fish taco that came with refried beans and rice, which was quite delicious. I was very impressed with the perfectly cooked rice and light mix of peas. Gratis chips and salsa are provided and there's a discount on tap beer, of which there's a good selection, during happy hour. It was pleasant during the afternoon, but I think it gets loud and turns into a club later in the evening on weekends.
