Review La Cantina | Schnitzel/milanesa House - Tauranga

Nice interior, fantastic service and beautiful meal! Schnitzel cutlets were huge, gold brown, crispy outside n soft inside texture. Price is bit high($29 each dish) but price is up for literally everything nowadays so its fair enough. We had very good experience. Definitely come back for crispy cutlet 🥰

Lovely food, friendly staff. Chicken empanadas were fab. Beef ones could have a bit more flavor. The schnitzels were huge and delicious. We even took some dessert home and that was yummy too. Will definitely return

Searching Tauranga to have dinner at 8pm and this place popped up like magic, is one of our favorite meals from our homeland Argentina. The milanesas we have ordered Beef Blue Cheese and the Parmigiana were absolutely exquisite, presentation divine, the waiter was so friendly and kind. We Highly recommend this place

Now i am back to one of my favorite restaurants here in tauranga. The la cantina. It is my first time to try their schnitzel popeye and it goes well with my cocktails drink! My friend got the caprese and she loved it as well. We both loved and enjoyed every bite of it. So come try thier food with a lot of varieties to choose from. 5 stars 🌟 It's my first time to try the cuisine at La Cantina and I rate it to 4 for now. The Prawn Salad is tasty just enough seasoning, shrimps were cook evenly and tender. It goes well with the salad. Probably next time if I will order the coffee should be one shot so it would not taste strong for me. Overall, I recommend it for people who loves a chill place like La Cantina or spend time with your friends or family over lunch or dinner. I will check out their dinner meal.

Love the food! Generous serving. Chicken schnitzel is juicy ❤️ Staff are friendly. Place is clean and cozy. We even got to try their new dish which is called Croquetas. Keep up the excellent mahi! ☺️

I had beef schnitzel Diane and husband had the beef Parmigiana. They were huge and tasty mains. We ordered Hasselback potatoes to go with our meal which were simply divine. Washed the meal down with a glass of Chilean Shiraz. Couldn't fit in dessert.

The menu was quite different than any other restaurants in Tauranga. Schnitzel was very nice. We had beef and chicken schnitzels with wedged and thin cut chips. They were all good and decent sizes. Also good service

Had to try this schnitzel / milanesa eatery, since I don't know any other place in Tauranga that serves Argentinan schnitzels 😀 Totally up to my expectations given that we are in NZ. I had the chicken napoli (suprema napolitana) and my partner the beef mediterranean. Both really tasty, crumbly and seasoned perfectly (as an argentinian schnitzel). Sides were coleslaw (nothing argentian here hehe), then fries or potato salad. I have to say that the potato salad wasn't my taste since it had gerkins in it (probably a kind of german style or kiwi...not sure)...I was expecting my potato salad with onions and a dressing. They also sell alfajores and other pastries which I haven't tried but definitely will! I was really hoping for them to sell Flan with Dulce de leche as dessert, but wasn't on the menu...maybe in the future? 😉 I found the place to be more an argentinean eatery , hence the name, so the schnitzels you'll find will be on the argentinean taste side rather than european (very similar anyway). No pork schnitzel here. Totally recommend the place 👌 Good quality for money. And a little corner for us argentineans looking for some comfort food that remind us of home.

Stoked to find this spot and can really see it being popular after just our first visit. Awesome meal. Pictured below is the Chicken Caprese and I was super impressed. Couldn't recommend trying this enough. Thanks

Went for a birthday dinner with a party of 12. Service was a bit slow considering there were only 2 other tables with 2 people. Food was great and my gluten free meal was nice. The schnitzels were very generous.

Been here a couple of times. 1st visit dinning in & 2nd time take away. I've tried the chicken and pork schnitzel, enjoyed them both but I'm gonna say the pork is my favorite. Definitely value for money. The restaurant has a nice modern feel to it and the service pretty good. Thank you very much! Wifey and I will be back.

The food was amazing and the staff were kind and so lovely!!The place was clean,and is super well located

Dined here last month. Wowie, delicious! Would definitely return for such good Kai

Ordered takeaway and wasn't disappointed. Great portions, tasty selection of sides and sustainable packaging. When I went in to pickup my order I was impressed at the interior, and will definitely be back for a dine in experience. Staff were really freindly and great to see a new dining option in Tauranga that isn't a pub or a curry house. Good luck, you guys will do well! Oh, and who doesn't love schnitzel!?! Yum yum 😋😻

What a brilliant find. We highly recommend LA Cantina for all ages and palates, it's a great local 'neighborhood' type restaurant. Our party of four went on a Wednesday evening, and it was surprisingly busy. I say surprisingly for a Wed, not surprising for the quality. It was really humming the night we went. The decor and vibe is really welcoming (some sound deading would be welcome), the menu is easy to follow and has something for everyone, the staff are really lovely and genuinely caring, but OMG - the food is fantastic! The schnitzels are so crispy and perfectly cooked, the accompaniments were tasty and well seasoned, and the portions were very generous (saw many a goodie bag). The alcohol offerings are not extensive but more than adequate. We didn't fit dessert in, I'm not sure how anyone could to be honest! Great value, reasonably priced, and very tasty food. We will be telling all our friends and guaranteed we will be back again. Thanks Jake and team for exceeding expectations

Thank you for a wonderful meal today, the Chicken Parmigiana and potatoes were perfect, the meal size was amazing and the staff were friendly and obliging. The group I was in all had smiles on leaving. Will definitely be returning ..Awesome spot.

Absolutely delicious! The schnitzels were huge and freshly and lightly fried, so they were crispy on the outside but still juicy on the inside. You can get them with a range of different toppings, like this caprese style which had pomodro bocconcini pesto tomatoes and basil. The hasselback potatoes were also yummy. Big portion sizes which is a plus!

We really enjoyed our dinner here. Everything was fresh and simply yummy. Quantity was good. Food was really delicious and flavourful. Very impressed. Very friendly staff.. highly recommending.

Great meal lovely service. Certainly worth a stop in. Meal could feed two :)
