Parking
Metered street parking is the main option around the Square. Try the smaller side streets—they usually have longer parking options, up to 2 hours.
If you plan to park for longer, there are a number of garages available. The closest is at 122 W Doty St, on the corner of South Hamilton and West Doty. Wilson Street Garage and the Overture Center Garage are also within a few blocks. Both garages allow you to stay for as long as you want and pay at the end.
Accessibility
Our entryway has one small step, and we have a portable ramp that is available upon request. Our bathrooms are ADA compliant. We have a variety of seating options, including standard height tables that folks can roll up to. Our outdoor patio is open seasonally, as weather permits.
Location
Find us at 111 South Hamilton Street, just off the downtown square in Madison, Wisconsin. The one-way streets around the square can be a bit confusing, so double-check your map directions if you’re driving.
Canteen serves up street tacos, nachos, burritos, and the like in a bright little corner spot on downtown Madison’s Capitol Square. An impressive tequila and mezcal list is at - the - ready for fresh margaritas or tasting flights. Sip a Mexican beer at the bar or enjoy a view of the Capitol on our sunny patio!
We’re open for lunch and dinner and brunch on the weekends, with a great happy hour every afternoon and late night. We also offer a variety of catering options to make your next gathering a real fiesta!
