Craving something a bit different? If so, you won’t be disappointed with a visit to Maria’s Cantina. Don’t let the name fool you. Sure, it’s a Mexican restaurant, but it’s far from typical. Instead of traditional and authentic grub from south of the border, the menu is more "Mexican with a twist." Take a look:

Restaurants in shopping centers are typically overlooked. However, you don’t want to make that mistake when it comes to Maria’s Cantina, which is in the Southaven Towne Center.

A colorful interior greets patrons, but that’s just the beginning of what’s to come when dining at Maria’s Cantina.

The menu is as eye-catching as the bright hues covering the walls.

As you peruse the selection, you’ll likely notice the offering isn’t quite like that of most other Mexican restaurants – and that’s because Maria’s Cantina specializes in “Mexican with a twist.”

Not every item on the menu is traditional or authentic, but it’s all delicious. “Clean, sophisticated, and eclectic” are a few words used to describe the menu.

And since nothing about Maria’s Cantina is typical, you shouldn’t be too surprised to learn that the eatery doles out more than Mexican food.

The tasty selection includes everything from burgers and fries to gumbo and catfish.

Though the fare varies, there’s one common denominator – it’s all made from scratch and oozing with “big, fresh flavors.”

And no matter what you order, there’s no better way to wash it down than with one of the eatery’s famous mason-jar margaritas.

Visit on a nice day, and you can take advantage of one of the cantina's best perks - a spacious patio.
