How a Family Recipe Became Northlake's Cantina
Family-run since 2005, built on nights that start as "just dinner" and turn into something bigger. The food is generations-deep, recipes passed down and served like you get a seat at the family table.
The First Cantina
In 2005, the Corona family turned a modest spot on East North Avenue into Northlake's go-to cantina — built on family recipes and word of mouth that's been spreading ever since.
Everything Made From Scratch
Every dish starts from scratch — the Carne Asada, the Parrillada, the chilaquiles that pack weekend mornings. Even the rice earns its own compliments.
The Bar Gets Playful
The Cucumber Martini and Horchata Martini are scratch-made reasons to come back on a Tuesday — our bar takes the same approach as the kitchen.
The Space That Surprises
Walk in expecting a neighborhood spot — find a beautifully designed cantina with warm lighting, a stunning bar, and an atmosphere equally right for date night or game day.
Twenty Years, Same Family
Two decades of birthdays, Tuesday nights, and first dates — all built on the same scratch-made foundation the Corona family laid in 2005.
