Great Mexican restaurant with an emphasis on Southwestern fare. Best salsa anywhere. Very good guacamole served with homemade chips. Enchiladas, tacos, and other dishes are good, served with rice and black beans. Very good service. Kid friendly too.

I am a big fan of Boxcar Cantina. I’ve been there a few times, and it has been remarkably consistent. The atmosphere is very classic, with nice booths. I like that the bar is in its separate room so the noise doesn’t overflow into the dining room. The staff have always been kind and attentive. Sometimes, service will be a little slow when they are busy. The food is tremendous. The farm-to-table theme shines. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients in every bite. All in all, I like Boxcar Cantina and will be going back.

I really enjoyed a great meal here tonight!! When you get great fresh chips, guac and salsa to start your meal, that usually means you will get a quality meal to follow!! I had a delicious shrimp fajita along with a top shelf margarita! The onion ring appetizer was also very good. It was a great treat for my wife and I by my sis who lives in Greenwich and enjoy casual dining at this restaurant. I would highly recommend a visit here. The service was great also..

Had a tremendous lunch at Boxcar Cantina recently - Carlos our server was so welcoming and it was easily the best Mexican food I have had in the entire state of New York. Check it out, you’ll love it!
