This place was fair in regards to food and service. It was about $10-18 for one burrito. It was not authentic mexican food, we hardly had any meat in our burrito, but it was flavorful. My husband ordered a corona and they gave him a Corona Light, but didn't mention they were out of Regular Corona's until I realized he... More

Pineapple salsa here was AWESOME! The halibut tacos were pretty dry, but still good. I make my own that are better and have high standards for halibut tacos... This is more of a local place and since I stood out as a tourist the service was pretty poor, but I was taking the food to go so I didn't really... More

We stopped in to grab a couple of burritos to take back to our B&B, very small place but full of people. The burritos were ok, nothing really special, the price was reasonable as well. More

Om August 9, 2011, we ate lunch at Railway Cantina. This was the biggest "rip-off" of our entire trip throughout the Kenai Peninsula, Anchorage and Denali! Our meal was shocking- I ordered a blackened halibut salad and received a plate with an amount of lettuce smaller than a woman's palm, and four "quarter-sized" pieces of halibut. This was accompanied by... More

MMMmmmm.... And it was actually almost reasonably priced at least for Alaska. Something for everyone. and so delicious ! I didn't try the banana pudding nachos and I regret it. Perfect Pineapple salsa skimpy on the chips, but its Alaska oh well. More

We arrived in Seward knowing nothing about restaurants and a local we met at the bank ATM recommended this place. We wound up eating here 2 of the 3 nights we were in town. The burritos are meal size and most are priced just under $10, halibut being one of the exceptions. There is a selection of cold Alaskan beers... More

As vegetarians, we didn't have a lot of eating options in Seward. Among limited options, the Railway Cantina was our favorite: creative burritos and quesadillas, with many different types of salsa to choose from. More

We had the rock fish quesadilla and chicken burrito. We wanted halibut but there was a sign saying because of the market??? all halibut orders were increased by $4 or $5 - and everything was expensive to begin with. Pretty good food but really couldn't taste the rock fish at all due to the sauce which overwhelmed it. More

We ate here three times during our 5 day visit. They have great burritos (note 5 star rating given, this was due to the overall taste + value). Halibut was at a price increase (not sure why, huge amounts were being caught across the street that week) so those were $13.00 and chicken was $9 (burritos and tacos). Small seating... More
