There’s something unexpectedly delightful about stumbling upon a slice of Mexico right in the centre of Khan Market. Tucked between elegant boutiques and old-school bakeries, Daisy Mae Cantina doesn’t just invite you in—it pulls you into its story.
The name itself—Daisy Mae—feels like a throwback to vintage Americana, cheeky and charming. Pair that with Cantina, and the tone is instantly set: breezy, bold, and spirited, just like the space it defines.
Inside, it’s a sunburst of color and comfort. Hand-painted tiles glimmer under warm pendant lights. Rustic textures meet bursts of bright hues. There’s no excess—just thoughtful detail, the kind that echoes a lived-in cantina you might find tucked away in a Mexican coastal town. It’s authentic without the theatrics, and the mood is equal parts festive and familiar.
Sips with Spirit
Begin your journey with the Pineapple Berry—a tall, citrusy sparkler that feels like a splash of summer. Or for something indulgent, the Coconut Biscoff Nutella Shake is dessert masquerading as a drink—velvety, rich, and unapologetically playful.
There’s a drink here for every kind of day: light and zesty, or luxuriously thick and nostalgic.
A Table Full of Color
The Mexican Chilli Cheese Fries arrive golden and gloriously overloaded—crispy fries drenched in molten cheese, spiked with jalapeños, and finished with a hit of seasoning that lingers in the best way.
Then comes the Jacket Potato Skin—deceptively simple, but layered with textures and a comforting depth of flavour. Think crisp edges, warm filling, and a whisper of spice.
And the standout? The Veg Rice Bowl with Habanero Cottage Cheese. It surprises with smoky undertones, subtle heat, and balanced umami. The habanero doesn’t overpower—it lingers, thoughtfully paired with aromatic rice and hearty vegetables.
A Sweet, Cool Finale
Don’t leave without a scoop (or two) of their Gelato Ice Cream. Creamy, cool, and just indulgent enough to end on a high note without tipping into excess.
