We visited La Cocina Cantina Santiago on a very rainy early December afternoon. Everything about this restaurant was excellent. The must order is any tamale dish. The tamales are homemade by Senora Santiago! (She used to be my neighbor. The tamales are exquisite. (Well, all the food is great. The atmosphere perfect and we were glad to see that the Cocina has been expanded to include a delightful Cantina. Amazing service by owner Victor 's sisters Norma and Mona(? . Great prices. Large portions. Take the bus or park a little north in the neighborhood. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30
