Welcome to Mateo's CantinaMateo's Cantina is a lively restaurant in the heart of Wantagh. We value creating a warm and welcoming space that features dishes with quality ingredients and traditional Mexican cooking.
Modern Mexican - Inspired, Sophisticated, Authentic
Our mission will always be to serve classic Mexican dishes prepared with the sophistication of a fine dining restaurant in a casual and approachable manner.
Tocolo Cantina serves refined, modern Mexican food in a friendly, high-service, and casual atmosphere. The restaurant space was designed to merge the modern elements of a California eatery with those of a Mexican cantina to create a warm and inviting feel. It is fit with encaustic tile, copper walls, a lively bar in the center of the room, and a hydraulic garage door that forms an outdoor canopy when opened. We aim to provide the best Modern Mexican dining experience on Long Island.
Our menu incorporates both traditional Mexican fare and our own modern interpretations of customary dishes. The menu's mix of small and large plates, as well as its two large communal dining tables, hopes to inspire long celebrations over food.
Since no great cantina is complete without a lively bar and lofty cocktail program, Tocolo Cantina promises to deliver the best margaritas and sangrias around. The bar offers delicious specialty drinks, as well as a large selection of premium tequilas and mezcals.
Tocolo Cantina was rated "Excellent" by The New York Times and "Very Good" by Newsday. We strive to deliver the best Mexican food on Long Island.
