Vintage Cantina - Green Bay, WI

My husband and I’s first meal out to eat in Green Bay after returning from Cleveland was at Vintage Cantina downtown, a little taqueria and bar combo that I’ve watched from afar with lust. Their weekly taco features, AKA WTF’s, are a delight to see every week on their social media, and more than once I’ve found myself swearing I’d go for them when it just never happened. Christmas shopping left my husband and I hungry, so we drove into downtown during a business lul at our local restaurants to make sure we got in.

We tried to visit once before on a busy Friday evening where every single seat in the building was full, and we were relieved to find that this was not the case at 4 pm on a Saturday. We took a seat by the window to watch the cars go by, and we ordered their smoked chicken and chilis cheese dip to get us started alongside our drinks.

​My husband ordered a Tecate while I opted for their house margarita. Tequila has been an acquired taste for me over the years, starting very slowly during our honeymoon in the Yucatan four years ago. I haven’t ordered a margarita when I’ve been out at a restaurant for quite awhile, but this one hit the spot with a strong citrus flavor to combat the natural taste of the tequila. One worked out for me across the whole meal.
