Classic Mexican food, and all items are vegan. Ordered the Cantaro Burrito and with ‘steak’ and it was very tasty added Guac and was going to add chips but it was $7 extra for the chips so I skipped it. Great vegan stop every time I’m in Monterey.

vegan Mexican is such a rare find. So glad to find this place. Bunch of options including kids menu.

Potato tacos were fab. The place was so good we went two days in a row.

And yes it’s super close to aquarium

Stopped in for lunch and was really impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, and you’d never know it was vegan, the flavours were spot on and really satisfying. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even nicer. A great place to stop off for a relaxed, tasty lunch. I’d happily come back again.

New favorite Mexican restaurant dropped! This place is genuinely so good, and the best part is that everything here is vegan! You can’t get any better than it!
I’d love to come back here someday as well.
I got the Crispy Chickin’ burrito (wet version) and it’s amazing!

El Cantaro is absolutely amazing! As a vegan, I’m always searching for food that’s both authentic and flavorful, and this place exceeded all my expectations. The menu is full of traditional Mexican favorites made 100% plant-based — and every single bite is packed with freshness and spice.
The tacos were incredible (the kind you never want to end!), and the burritos are hearty, delicious, and perfectly seasoned.
The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are kind and attentive, making the experience even better. It’s the kind of place that proves vegan food isn’t just “good for vegan food” — it’s simply great food.
I can’t wait to come back! ✨

Hey, you wanna try some real tasty mexican food? You should not miss this restaurant, by all means … go for the ‚Mexican Favorites‘ with the crispy tacos (fried tacos); the crisp is just so crispy; loved the chickin‘ more than the potatoes but both are great … but don‘t forget to ask for the Hot Salsa as well (homemade); pace yourself at first because it has quite some kick but it wants you to take more and more – it‘s so excellent …

Two tiny suggestions/ideas:
1. The cheese on the tacos was very chilled; can the cheese be taken out of the fridge earlier, so its just at least room temperature when its on the tacos?
2. If you stuff the cheese a slight bit ‚into‘ the taco, it becomes way easier to eat it without spilling most of the cheese (and tasty tomatoes) …

El Cantaro is truly a gem, and I’m so thankful for this incredible family-run business. From the moment we walked in, we felt so well taken care of, especially by Jasmine, the daughter behind the cash register. She made every dinner during our stay feel special, welcoming us with a smile and ensuring everything was perfect.

Every dish tastes authentic and absolutely delicious. What’s even more impressive is their consistency—the quality of the food and service never wavered. And the speed! When you’re craving something this good, you want it in your stomach now, and they deliver.

I can’t stop raving about their wet burrito—it’s a masterpiece of flavor. Their nachos are a delight, and the tacos are unforgettable. Our personal favorite was the potato taco, which was so unique and satisfying. Everything on their menu feels so thoughtfully crafted.

El Cantaro is a must-visit for anyone who loves great food served with heart. It’s clear that this family pours so much passion into every dish, and it shows. I can’t wait to go back!

Organic, full of flavor! The steak fajitas was good, the tacos were delicious. It seemed that they make their own corn tortillas in-house, so fresh! The pozole soup was full of nutritional vegetables and a little spicy but I loved it!

Absolutely AMAZING!

I had vegan family members come to town and we stopped in for a bite. WOW, I was blown away! The tacos were the best I’ve ever had in the Monterey Bay Area.

Everything had so much flavor and the dishes were very filling.

I will definitely be back 100%
