Fantastic food and truly outstanding service. I’m pretty sure this is a family-run spot, and it shows in the warmth and care they put into everything. The pozole was absolutely amazing!

Chips and salsa came out first. Salsa was decent, nice mild spice to it, chips were cooked but felt heavy and extremely oily. As if they sat in oil longer and absorbed it. They also tasted like old oil. I ordered 5 tacos that came out with one lime wedge and guacamole no green or red salsa. Was very awkward. Tortilla has an odd texture. undercooked but super oily. My friends ordered wet burritos and those seemed ok. Another friend ordered shrimp cocktail. Said shrimp felt mushy and instead of a Clamato sauce it was just ketchup. I didn’t believe him so I tried it for myself… it was literally ketchup soup. Was very very awkward food. Definitely not authentic. Will never go back.

Was visiting from out of town and stumbled upon a tiktok that recommend this place. And OH MY GOSH it was amazing. The food was authentic and tasted amazing and left us in a food coma. Highly recommend the chilaquiles and cheese enchiladas. The red sauce made you crave more for sure. We will willingly make the drive to continue to eat here. The atmosphere was very homey and the waiter was kind.

I was traveling and came in right before close on a Sunday. Maps said they were open until 9pm but it was really 8pm. They seated me anyway and I ate 4 excellent street tacos and a beer as quick as I could and paid cash since I felt bad for keeping them late. Staff was super nice!

I planned on going to El Farolito, but the wait was almost an hour. I walked around the corner and stumbled on this gem. Amazing food and impeccable service. If i had to guess, this place is probably a family business. The pozole was fantastic!

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.

It is what it is. Enjoyed the local population, but for me there are other better options in Placentia or nearby Fullerton. Prices have almost doubled over the last five years plus if you use a card, expect a credit card fee will be added so the restaurant does not have that exposure.

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.
