📌El Cantarito is located in Placentia California. They are family owned and operated since 2002. They serve all the popular Mexican dishes by using fresh and local ingredients and cooking it to order. We got both the green and red Chilaquiles and they were bomb, the red ones have more of a kick 🦵 but delicious. Don't forget they have Menudo on Sat and Sun mornings ☀️ Their customer service at El Cantarito will make you feel at home. Don't forget to get their cinnamon coffee, it will transport you to Mexico.

I am NOT a Mexican born person ...... However I have been to 40-50 different Mexican cuisine places since I came to California many years ago .
I agree with some reviews ...
Food was great .Food was fresh .... Service was excellent ...... Quickly notice the amicable attitude of our waiter Also quickly notice the friendly waitress attitude . You really feel welcome here .
Why the 4 stars review regarding atmosphere ?? ALL the tables could use a decorative centerpiece to unify the spacious/ airy/well spaced layout ....
Mexico has such a vast Aztec cultural history that I am sure that some wall decor can be found to further unify . The walls were too austere looking ...
BTW : breakfast all day .

Great food and friendly service. I had the chicken mole; it was delicious. My wife had the 2 item combo. She enjoyed it. Fresh homemade chips and salsa. Homemade tortillas. What more could you want? Prices are reasonable. And they have a good selection on the menu. Check this place out. You won't regret it.

Great family owned restaurant,I have been coming here for over 20 years. Usually come on the weekends but now that I moved further away don't come as often but do order from their catering menu for parties. Burrito Especial is about $60 for large catering sized tray and it's absolutely delicious. I usually order 3 for parties of about 50 people and I make sides at home. Plenty of food. I have also had their menudo and enchiladas, which as also delicious and authentic. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Staff is friendly and helpful. Parking is behind the restaurant on alley. Very cute area in Placentia.

Waiting 30 minutes to be seated at dinner hour but not unexpected for Friday night. Outdoors seating.. Great food, service. Only reason four of five stars very hard to hear fam around table with noise of other patrons talking. Everybody talking loud, no soft surfaces to absorb noise.
