Kantina Newport Beach   

Kantinas Nuevo Latino dishes are a mix of Euro-Cali and the best ingredients and preparations from Latin America. A good example of this is the Kantina quesadilla, which comes with grilled Maine lobster (or rib eye or chicken) and features Mexican cheeses, smoked paprika and roasted corn salsa. Dont pass up the house-made cocktails with eight varieties of margaritas from blueberry to tamarind and seven marvelously-made mojitos. A casual, yet professional upscale Newport Beach crowd packs this bay view place for lunch while sexy singles and couples hang out here and in the upstairs lounge for the hip dinner and bar scenes. Theres also an untraditional breakfast on Saturdays and an omelette-filled brunch every Sunday. Remember to bring at least five bucks for the mandatory valet parking and tip.
