You’re about to have a new go-to spot for Margarita Mondays, Taco Tuesdays, Fiesta Fridays and everything in between. Cantina 76 is finalizing some last renovations before opening its doors in the next few weeks.
The taqueria and bar’s central location in Greenville’s ONE City Plaza was announced this April. The four partners — Rob Ward, Craig Wyatt, Chad Elsey and Jeb Babcock, who are also partners in Za’s Brick Oven Pizza in Columbia — have been planning on opening a Greenville location for two years, but waited until a Main Street location came along. “It really was a no-brainer,” said Ward.
The menu consists predominantly of different a la carte tacos inspired by nontraditional flavors like teriyaki, Buffalo chicken and barbecue. It also features classic Mexican dishes, daily features and sides. Kick your meal off with the “tres hombres” sampler of queso, fresh guacamole and salsa. The restaurant has daily deals and happy hours. Order a classic margarita, or choose form one of their eight other specialty flavors.
The partners opened their first Cantina 76 location in 2009 on Devine Street in Columbia. The downtown Greenville destination will be the restaurant’s third location and first outside of Columbia.
Cantina 76 is occupying the spot previously home to Rare at 103 N. Main St. Find out more at cantina76.com.
