The place
A cantina in the
heart of Oranjestad
Kalin's sits in Renaissance Marketplace, a short walk along the boulevard from the cruise terminal. Inside there's a long bar lit up with bottles of tequila and mezcal; outside, tables that fill up with families, friends and big groups every night. The kitchen cooks the way they do in Mexico: meats braised low and slow, salsas made in-house, tortillas warm on the side.
Tequila & mezcal bar
Spicy margaritas, refreshing mojitos and a wall of premium agave spirits. Full Mexican flavor and expert bartenders who know how to make every pour unforgettable.
Slow-cooked meats
Birria, barbacoa in plantain leaves and cochinita in traditional spices.
Groups welcome
Birthdays, team dinners, the whole family. Reserve and we'll set the table.
