What People Are Saying About Sunset Cantina

The Editor

Eric Grossman

Citysearch

The Scene – The management behind Allston's popular Sunset Grill and Big City smartly chose to expand its empire to this location, along a busy, student-populated stretch of Commonwealth Avenue. A suitably young crowd fills the expansive dining room to nosh on huge plates of appetizers while watching sporting events or listening to the contemporary jukebox. The small bar takes advantage of its full liquor license (something the Sunset Grill doesn't possess) by serving up a wicked margarita menu and a selection of more than 40 tequilas. – – The Food – The Cantina's…

Don't go there...

by STBOS

If you enjoy being served by rude waitresses, having margaritas with no alcohol and overcrowded places, then that's the place for you.

Went there last week, the waitress was extremely rude, the place very crowded, although this wasn't the biggest problem, the food average and what made me angry the most, they felt free to charge my card 2 dollars more than what the bill was...

Absolutely not recommended..

Nachos and beer

by quinniepants

You have to get the nachos. But expect to share with the group and still feel as full as you can fathom. They've also got the best beer selection for miles, as well as some top-notch ciders. I've had the burgers and they're not my favorite, but they're still pretty good. The servers are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The only downfall is that it's always crowded with BU dudes acting stupid. Maybe they're not acting. Still, the food and beer is fantastic if you have the good fortune of being seated far enough from the men's lacrosse team.

  • Pros: Apps, beer, cider, service
  • Cons: yeah dudes, parking in allston
