The Sunset Cantina - Boston, MA

The Sunset Cantina: 6.2




The Sunset Cantina is located on Commonwealth Ave just off the Pleasant St. T Stop. It's a restaurant with great food and a huge beer selection, though not as large as it's counterpart down the road on Brighton Ave.

Location: To get to the bathroom you'll have to walk all the way to the back of the restaurant. They're past the kitchen and main seating area, the sign is reasonably visible.
Grade: 5 out of 10

Accessibility: The only issue here is getting by a hostess, though I imagine you could go in as if you were meeting people already seated, shouldn't be too complex. Should be fairly easy to get to unless there's a huge crowd at the door or the hostess is a Nazi.
Grade: 6 out of 10

Number of Stalls: Only one stall here and considering how many people go to the restaurant, there should be at least one more.
Grade: 4 out of 10

Stall Quality: Stall is spacious and generally in good condition. It is worth noting that the toilet was unusually high. I'm about 5' 9" and my feet were dangling and not quite hitting the floor. Also the lock, while functional, was a bit tricky and took me a minute to get into the right position.
Grade: 6 out of 10

Stall at the Cantina. The door is on the right (the wall is not slanted).

Toiler Paper: Par for the course here. Two ply standard paper, just what you'd expect.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Cleanliness: Bathroom was clean, normal wear and tear. Almost every bathroom has a paper towel or two on the floor. There were two garbage cans in the bathroom. Patrons are just too lazy to clean up for themselves.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Scent: No real scent to mention here. There was an air freshener, though I'm not sure it was functional. Either way, no worries here.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Flush: Solid flush, I'd imagine 6 Liters/1.6 Gallons per, though the toilet did not say it's ratio on it as many do. Either way, this toilet will be able to take what you give it.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Aesthetics: This is a pretty plain bathroom that you can tell is a few years old. Not completely plain, but not aesthetically pleasing. Blah.
Grade: 6 out of 10

The Bottom Line: While this bathroom rates out as a 6.2, it's very usable. Most of the average grade comes from the bathroom only having one stall and being located very far back in the restaurant. There is definitely a chance that a line for the stall could leave you in a bind. If there isn't a wait, the Sunset Cantina is a viable option.
