La Cantina is a Guerrilla Camp facility run by the Camp Chef. You trade animal and fish meat for Meals that give temporary buffs, and the first rank teaches recipes for bullet, blast, poison and fire defense.
Hunt or fish, bring the meat to the Chef, and trade it for a Meal. The buff lasts a while and helps in the next fight, such as extra blast defense before a tank battle.
Yes, especially on harder difficulties. A defense Meal before a big base attack makes a real difference.
Enhanced La Cantina
Adds five Recipes: Sniper's Soup, Speedy Spaghetti, Hunter's Hot Dog, Scuba Sashimi and Jiu-Jitsu Jambalaya. Buffs last longer again.

Guerrilla Garrison
Sells basic weapons. Guerrilla Vanguards fight in the open world. Recon Laptops tag tripwires, auto-turrets, cameras and alarms.
