Whether it’s a drop of hot reaper salsa on the edge of a freshly made tortilla chip or a forkful of shrimp enchilada, each bite at Diablo’s Cantina is an explosion of flavor. They’re not holding back on spice either, because you can’t have diablo without a little heat, right?
The restaurant has a fun party atmosphere, so starting with a cocktail is a must. If the wide-ranging drink menu seems daunting, make it easy on yourself and order the house margarita, pictured (which can also be made spicy). Pay the extra couple of bucks to upgrade your tequila to Casamigos reposado.
Then dive into the menu. Nachos are stacked high and drenched in cheese sauce, pico de gallo, guacamole and pickled jalapeño; slow-roasted pork carnitas tacos are tender and topped with pickled onion and cilantro; and the three enchiladas (shrimp, chicken and beef barbacoa) are so good that it’s difficult to pick just one, so order the enchilada platter, where you can sample all three. But there’s no wrong choice here, because each dish is fire.
