Welcome to Cantina Jack's

Craving a Mexican vacation, but no time to go to Mexico? Cantina Jack’s, by Tres Griegos, is a perfect Mexican get-away in the heart of Downtown Pleasant Hill.

What will you find at this newest addition to DPH from the three brothers behind Jack’s Restaurant and Bar? A carefully curated menu, with fresh ingredients and traditional Mexican dishes. Vibrant, larger-than-life artwork. A grand u-shaped bar built for an any-time/every-time fiesta. The hospitality of el pueblo. And 180-degree views of Jack’s Playza.

Enter Cantina Jack’s and be instantly transported to wherever your favorite spot is in Mexico. But fair warning: after enjoying an already-famous Cantina Frozen Margarita or a Watermelon Sueno with 100% blue agave tequila, agave nectar, and fresh watermelon and jalapeno, appetizers of Grilled Octopus and Ceviche, Fish, Carnitas or Carne Asada tacos on our homemade blue masa tortillas, homemade Churros for dessert, and listening to Alejandro Fernandez crooning of a lost love that hurts into infinity, you might lose your job once you forget you’re on lunch break and not your honeymoon in Cabo.

Happy Hour

$5 and $6 tacos.
Beer, wine and cocktail specials.
Our 16 oz frozen margaritas for $10.
Great Latin beats.

We lower the prices, raise the volume, and take the feliz to a whole new level.

Tequilas. Lots of Tequilas.

We have over 150 bottles of tequila — blancos, reposados, anejos, cristalinos, extra anejos and mezcals.[1]. We have tequila flights, so you can sample one ounce pours of different tequilas. We have extra anejos from our Para El Jefe menu – like the G4 Extra Anejo which, after three years aged in Tennessee whiskey barrels, exhales onto your palate more like vapor than liquid, smooth, hot, with perfect spice and hints of vanilla and caramel. Come in and try your favorites, try something new. Let us know what you love, and what we’re missing. And if you see one of the Tres Griegos in the Cantina, remember, there’s nothing we love more than enjoying tequila with friends.[2].

Our Story

When we were presented the opportunity to open a restaurant at part of the old Sweet Tomatoes space in Pleasant Hill, my brothers and I thought the area could use a fun Mexican Cantina – a place with a great bar, delicious Mexican food, and amazing cocktails in an inviting patio setting. Since it was right across from Jack’s Restaurant and Bar and would reflect our passion for great food and service, we decided to name it Cantina Jack’s. [1]

To prepare for this new Mexican concept by three Greek Brothers who grew up in the East Bay, we plotted a four-month pilgrimage across Mexico to sample the timeless and innovative dishes being prepared in each of its beautiful regions. This trip would be instrumental in helping us craft the perfect menu for our Cantina. Then our wives reminded us we have young children with volleyball, softball, football, dance, parkour, Mathnasium and a parade of playdates that require a fleet of parental Uber Drivers.
