A Kitchen That Refused to Pick a Lane
Born from a refusal to choose, The New Cafe & Cantina blends Mexican and deli flavors into something all its own — right on Main Street in downtown Racine.
The New Cafe & Cantina | Our Story
The Idea Behind the Menu
Birria belongs next to bagels, and tacos earn their own awards. The result is a menu that feels genuinely inventive every visit.
The Flight Culture
Flights of chilaquiles, pasta, and mimosas aren't a gimmick — they're the whole philosophy. Order one and you'll find yourself reaching across the table for more.
Made From Scratch, Every Time
Warm churros, birria bagels, crispy chicken piled high — everything is made from scratch, and you can taste the difference.
Downtown Racine, Our Home
We're on Main Street, a few blocks from Lake Michigan — surrounded by art museums and marinas, and proud to be the destination restaurant this neighborhood deserves.
Always One More Thing
New flights, new fusions, new reasons to return — this menu never sits still, and neither do we.
