"We 've been coming to Kiawah Island for more than 35 years. When Freshfield 's Village opened a few years ago, we were excited when new restaurants came on to the scene. They 've all been hit or miss. We decided to give Cantina 76 a try as we were in the mood for Mexican food. Complimentary chips and salsa? Nope, diners must buy the salsa for $5 and the Queso was $7 or $8. Wife wanted to order the Chimichanga but didn 't want a couple of ingredients that was in it. Our server said, I 'm sorry, but these are pre-made 'frozen ' We were stunned. Frozen? So, we each ordered 2 tacos and an enchilada. I ordered the buffalo chicken taco and peruvian shrimp taco along with a chicken enchilada. The buffalo chicken taco was 2 spicy chicken nuggets with wing sauce on a soft tortilla with a pinch of lettuce on top. I laughed. Frozen nuggets reheated apparently. As was the enchilada. In fact, all the meat items for the tacos (wife had the chicken taco and traditional beef taco) looked and tasted like reheated from frozen. Total bill for grand total of 4 tacos and 2 enchiladas along with a basket of chips, salsa and queso was $57 including tip. Water was our beverage. It 's a nice place, but the vibe was lacking and the food definitely not up to par. We were here at 6 PM on a Friday night and there were maybe 3-4 other couples here. If you 're staying on either Kiawah or Seabrook, save your money and just go to Harris Teeter and buy frozen entrees and a bag of tortilla chips."
