Cleber GalvaoMay 5, 2013the place is good for drinks, although if you want to sit to eat you've got be patient because the wait list its around 20- 25 min on the weekends.They have a lot of options of beers and tequilas.
Best nachos I've had! Get them with pulled pork, you won't be sorry. Great beer list too, with 38 on tap. I come here every time I come back to BU, it's that good.
ChantelMarch 14, 2014Loveee sunset. Huge portions, great drinks. If you ever want to try a whole bunch of beers. Get the flight!
Seriously the greatest white sangria ever. One of my favorite places to visit when I come back to BU. The nachos are awesome too!
JeanAnn HarrisonNovember 27, 2012Ian is a fantastic server. He knows the beer menu which is extensive and is attentive. If you like beer and pub food, check it out.
Indivly RewardsJuly 3, 2012Sunset is definitely the college & post work hang out place in the area. Their wings and nachos are phenomenal, and their cocktail list is extensive.
Elaine ShinApril 22, 2014XL nachos with BBQ pulled pork!!!! Humongous, good to share with 5-6 people.
- FavecastNovember 15, 2013Get the Nachos. Right Now. At least according to Amir. Check out his Favecast recommendation of Sunset Cantina here- http://www.favecast.com/3DEHKQZ5IB
Jake SmithMarch 27, 2013If you're undecided, you can get beer or tequila flights to try a bit of each flavor you'd like to sample.
Unexpectedly delicious fish plates. Swordfish skewers and swordfish burgers are terrific!!
It's never a bad idea to go for a bigger size of nachos - they last in the fridge for a while! The leftovers are pretty delicious still even a couple days later.
Craig ChildresApril 16, 2017Great food and huge beer selection. Awesome portions. Would definitely go back.
Kelly OkamuraMay 15, 2014Pulled. Pork. Nachos. Also, every Monday and Tuesday at midnight, they have free nachos & fries.- FavecastNovember 15, 2013Melanie recommends the shrimp and avocado quesadillas at Sunset Cantina. Check out her Favecast about it here- http://favecast.com/video/page/v/237fKlmpRt/t/
- Brian FitzgeraldMarch 6, 2012Best beer selection in Boston, so good. Also the buffalo chicken skewers are the bomb, as is the spinach dip.
LaurenJanuary 3, 2015Graduated in 2008, but still coming back! Spinach artichoke dip. Coconut chicken burrito. Done & done.
Mike RiosJuly 7, 2012People aren't kidding. The South of the Border Nachos with Beef Chili are amazing. Fan-freaking-tastic.
Hope you're not in a rush - service is notoriously slow. The nachos with BBQ chicken make up for it though. Also, avoid up to 2 hours before BU hockey game time - it's a madhouse.
Mohammedali GangardiwalaMay 19, 2012Come to the world of margaritas at sunset cantina! Food was not that great according to me.. but just to have a good time this is da place
One of the best (but most inconsistent) spot for food and drinks on the BU campus.
If you're drinking beer, this is not the place to order Coors Light, Bud Light, etc. Try something new! I highly recommend the Bear Republic Racer 5 on tap now.
Nachos are to die for! Substitute the chili for pulled pork. It's totally worth it
Order the Tyler from Jon at the bar. You won't be disappointed and you won't find your way home.
Mr Potato Head, vegimatic skins and vegetarian quesadilla are my favorites as someone who is vegetarian. Try them please :)
All you need is an order of nachos and a margarita (Try them all. My favorite: Cinco de). Perfection.
BostonTweetSeptember 1, 2010Sunset Cantina has an all you can eat Midnight Madness Buffet every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday night - starting at midnight of course.- All you need to order is a large place of south of the border nachos and an original margarita. Guaranteed Awesomeness.
Texicali burrito was great. Great selection of drinks too.
BU FiremanApril 17, 2012Best Nachos ever. Hands down great value for 3-4 friends to split the XXL size.
go for the "Boston Tea Party" drink if you're debating it. surprisingly satisfying..
AshleyMay 31, 2011I dream about the nachos. Pair them with a lime & coconut marg and you're good to go!
my favorite wings of all time! lots of great beers and drinks :D. One of my favorite spots.
Kristin BedardJune 25, 2010try the Anderson Valley Summer Solstice Cervza Crema beer from CA. delicious, with a cream soda finish, yum!- Avoid the homemade chips at all cost. Very soggy. Upgrade to the sweet potato fries. Totally worth it.
If you haven't had pulled pork fiesta nachos you haven't lived.
- Whoa! The bar is twice as long! Come check out the expansion. And the lobster quesadillas.
It used to be great when I was in college at BU (2010-2014). Management has changed and the quality has gone down hill. Nachos are no longer to die for. Unfortunate.
South of the border nachos + frozen mango margaritas, how I miss thee
The bbq pulled pork potato skins are basically the physical embodiment of what an orgasm should taste like.
nachos, nachos, more nachos. [pulled pork is the best!]
The sangria is amazing..but make sure you eat something before..its a little strong
Search the beer menu for seasonal selections, like Hooker Watermelon in the summer.
