About Us
Austin Cantina opened September 1st, 2007 with the intention of sharing a love of the cultures of Texas and Mexico with the neighborhood of Ballard and the city of Seattle. The Cantina features southwestern décor including art by Texans and music from Mexico, Texas and around the American Southwest as well as the broader Latino and Hispanic musical community.
Our beverages are a blend of Northwest producers and Tex-Mex style, we offer wines produced in Washington and Oregon, beer brewed in Fremont, Mexico and Texas and a selection of Margaritas as well as locally produced Jones sodas.
Of course, there is food! Our goal is to serve healthy portions of nutritious, flavorful food so that an individual can enjoy an appetizer, entrée and maybe share a dessert and walk away satisfied without feeling over-stuffed. We strive to keep prices reasonable for the neighborhood and the dining experience; most people will be able to enjoy a full meal for between $20.00 and $25.00.
