About Carlos Cantina - Boronia

Carlos Cantina dishes out massive, unpretentious Mexican comfort food under rustic wooden rafters in Boronia. Big tables fill quickly over sizzling prawn fajitas, overstuffed nachos, and house-made cheese sauce—balanced by swift rounds of shaken margaritas crowned with miniature sombreros. Weekday regulars know to time dinner around early-week discounts, while individual phone ordering and fast floor service keep larger crews and school-night dinners moving briskly. The meal wraps naturally around a chocolate taco stacked like a brownie sandwich.

  • Mid-Week Discounting: Regulars drop by Mondays and Tuesdays for an ongoing 30% discount on entrees and mains.
  • Table-Side Digital Ordering: Patrons can place orders and settle bills directly from their phones at the table.
  • Fishbowl Margaritas: Oversized fishbowl margaritas arrive complete with collectible miniature sombreros.
