Cantina South Modern Mexican Kitchen is a Raleigh restaurant and on Glenwood South that serves inspired, modern Mexican cuisine presented with refreshing style, alongside handcrafted cocktails, an extensive list of tequilas and our signature savory margaritas. Cantina South's casual and festive atmosphere with authentic Mexican fare offers a distinctive experience for our guests and is ideal for dining or a late night out with friends.
Cantina South’s Modern Mexican Kitchen is the collaboration of two of Raleigh, NC's most successful restaurateurs Kevin Summers (formerly with Michael Dean’s, Bogart’s American Grill, Twisted Fork) and Bill Holt (Melting Pot, Red Hot & Blue, Snoopy’s) and brings a modern twist to old-world Mexican flavors using locally grown ingredients for the freshest tastes imaginable that are sure to tempt the palette and soothe the soul. The pair recruited executive chef David Peraza, who most recently helped create the menu at Mez in Chapel Hill, to design the menu and run the kitchen, giving Cantina South a rich authenticity that will be second to none.
