Cantina, 40 Bowden Square, Southampton: Nestled in an actual speakeasy from the days of Prohibition, The 400 Rabbits bar serves more than 100 different tequilas and a full menu. Taco choices include vegetable, with zucchini, squash, tomato, asparagus, cauliflower, black bean pico de gallo, cotija cheese, and avocado crema and shrimp, with corn, black bean pico de gallo, avocado crema.
A yelp reviewer wrote, "The lobster tacos, beef short rib tacos , grilled asparagus, and fried plantain did the trick. It's very convenient that Executive Chef Scott Kampf adds the extra wrap under the taco meat and first wrap. It makes it easier to slide (using fork) the desired portion of taco meat into the next wrap. So it may look like the order comes with two but you can construct 4 delicious tacos of your choosing."
