About Us
We bring classic Mexican flavors to life through fresh ingredients, thoughtful hospitality, and a lively cantina experience.
our story
A Cantina Built for the Neighborhood.
Mateo’s Cantina began with a simple idea: create a neighborhood spot where great Mexican food, handcrafted drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere come together. Built as a place for locals to gather, celebrate, and unwind, our cantina blends classic Mexican flavors with a modern, energetic setting that feels right at home in Wantagh. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, we want every guest to feel comfortable, well-fed, and happy to stay awhile.
Our Food
Our menu is rooted in bold Mexican flavors and made with fresh, quality ingredients. From tacos and sizzling fajitas to classic entrées and house specialties, every dish is prepared to order and meant to be enjoyed together. We believe great food should be flavorful, satisfying, and approachable—perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying all on your own.
