High above the main entrance to Lakeside Grill Cantina, you'll find this sign, that reads... Lakeside Grill Cantina.
Here's the main entrance to the Lakeside Grill Cantina. If you take a look on the far right-hand side of the photo, you can catch a glimpse of the outdoor patio-style, covered seating area.
Here's a look at the main entrance to the Lakeside Grill Cantina at dusk. It's a little easier to see the outdoor covered patio area on the right of the photo. You can get to the patio from just behind the plants near the front door, and there's another door just past the check-out counter inside Lakeside Grill.

Here's the Three Street Tacos plate from Lakeside Grill Cantina. The entree is served with rice and refried beans, but those are both in little side cups.
These are the "Carne Asada" Street Tacos – and when they hand then to you, it's pretty much just the meat in a soft taco shell. The "toppings bar" is where all the stuff on top comes from — and you can put whatever you want on top of them.
Here's one of the Carne Asada Street Tacos with some shredded cheese and salsa on top. All of the toppings are kept cool at a small, serve yourself / walk-up toppings bar.
Here's some diced tomatoes and cheese on top of a Carne Asada Street Taco from SeaWorld's Lakeside Grill Cantina.
The taco-boat that the Street Tacos are served in does a nice job of holding the tacos open while you visit the toppings bar.
At the time of this review the 3 Street Tacos with Rice and Refried Beans entree was $18.99 plus a 5% SeaWorld surcharge (which they pretty much add to everything).
Here's a photo of the Refried Beans side item from the Lakeside Grill Cantina. The beans are topped with Cotija Cheese. It's available as a side item and it's served with several of the main entrées.
This is the Spanish Rice side item from Lakeside Grill Cantina. It is available for purchase as a side – but it's also served with most of the entrée plates.
My chocolate cake has a droopy nose. On the day we visited the Lakeside Grill Cantina – this Chocolate Cake was one of the dessert items. Many of the counter service restaurants have the same two or three dessert items on any given day (regardless of what the menu board might say is supposed to be available).
SeaWorld's Chocoalte Cake isn't bad actually – it's not a "super" dark, rich, fudge kind of chocolate – but there is a little chocolate flavor in there.
The cake portion of SeaWorld's Chocolate Cake has a big crumb (like cornbread) and is a moderately moist cake (so it does hold together somewhat). Most of the chocolate "flavor" comes from the icing.
Way back when... this location used to be called the Spice Mill, and they offered this great Homemade Vegetable Chili in a Bread Bowl... and it was really good! Oh those were the days. (2016)
There's a very large, see-through fish tank in the Lakeside Grill Cantina.
Not all the signage at the Lakeside Grill has been updated with the "Cantina" moniker. The "here's the line" and etched glass still reads "Lakeside Grill" only. Prior to becoming a "Cantina", the Lakeside Grill served Greek themed food items.
The dining area is split into three sections. The area pictured here is near the food order, pickup, and payment area. Another area (which is about the same size) is closer to the main entrance of the restaurant. The third area, is an outdoor patio.
This photo was taken near the "payment" area of the food line and looks out across the two dining areas. Although the second area is a little hard to see in this photo (behind the napkin dispensers in the middle divider), it's just as large as the dining area in the foreground.
This photo was taken from the dining area that's closest to the main entry side of the restaurant. It contains three or four of the only booths in Lakeside Grill.
The two interior dining areas are split by a walkay that leads to the outdoor patio seating. In this photo, we can see the food order and pickup line in the distance.
Here's a photo of the dining area that's near the main entrance of the restaurant. This photo was taken from the walkway that leads to the outdoor patio area. The see-through fish tank is on the far right. (It's the glass panel that looks sort of like a tv screen... but it's not. There's fish behind that glass.)
There are a coulpe more booth-style seats near the back wall at the Lakeside Grill Cantina.

The Lakeside Grill Cantina is probably called the Lakeside Grill Cantina – because it's on a lake – and this would be it's lake-side.
