Cantarito's is a pretty good taqueria off sunrise in rancho that I've hit numerous times over the…read moreyears. I frequented this place several years ago and loved it but on my most recent trip I found that the salsa bar no longer exists, the chips were rather stale and the carnitas was overly greasy tasting. The service was good and despite my disappointment with the chips and carnitas, the food presentation was thoughtful and pleasing to the eye, but i was left with an overall impression that it just didn't hit that happy spot for me. How can a taqueria exist without a salsa bar? This is a question that is parallel to questioning the meaning of life - it must be asked.

The atmosphere was nice and the food was soooo good! As you can see I cleaned my entire plate. I…read moredidn't know this place existed, as I have closer Mexican restaurants to me that I've settled for but this beats them all. I had the best biria tacos here and this will now be a fav spot of mine, plus I'm a beans and rice snob and theirs was delicious. Rice didn't have much tomato flavor or lots of salt but it was ok because everything else was so flavorful that it mellowed my pallet out. The service was great and I believe a guy who may have been the owner was conversing with the locals, laughing and they were having a good time. I went alone but felt comfortable and enjoyed the warm environment.

June 30, 2026 - Rancho Cordova…read more The Fajita Sampler was good and enough for my husband and I to split. Standard rice and beans, nothing special. The meat was cooked well. The house margaritas were large, but I couldn't taste the tequila. They were refreshing, though. Our server was very friendly and we enjoyed talking to her. The restaurant is very festive, and has large-screen TVs that were tuned to the World Cup.

The place is located, almost hidden away off of sunrise Boulevard. But the food is incredible! We ordered a Carne Asada quesadilla. The Carne Asada was fresh, juicy, and the tortilla was grilled to perfection! I wish the quesadilla came with either sour cream and/or guacamole. That is probably my only critique. We also ordered a super burrito with adobada, which was very delicious. All of the flavors from the meat to the rice, and all of the other goodies in it were great. My only critique with the burrito, I wish that the tortilla was grilled to add some extra crispy aspects. Highly recommend.

Still pretty tasty though. :p Aside from that, just an alright Mexican food spot. Gas-station-tier in terms of greasiness (IYKYK). Well-seasoned carne asada but still missing the char taste (had even a boiled-meat texture). Over-fried carnitas (some blackened bits). Large meat portions (especially for the super nachos!). Not much turnover on the tortilla chips at the salsa bar so the chips were a little stale. Wished there was pico de gallo at the salsa bar as well. Overall not a bad spot if you're driving down this part of Sunrise Blvd. and you have a hankering for some Mexican grub.

As you enter the restaurant, it has the Mexican feel with dark wood accents tile floor, Mexican paintings, the staff had nice looking black uniforms with red ties looking very professional. We ate outside on the patio, which is beautiful and was much quieter. They started us off with chips, salsa, and a bean dip, which is fabulous. It was so good that was almost lunch itself. I ordered a Carnitas burrito. The flavor was good. I will say it had a different flavor than other Carnitas that I've had at different Mexican restaurants. I also had it wet so it was smothered with enchilada sauce. The enchilada sauce was also different as it was chunky. All very good. The burrito is quite large. I was able to take it home and got two more meals out of it. Brunch is still going on while we were there so my wife ended up getting the French toast which came with three huge slices and looked and taste delicious as well.

Two points upfront - as far as I can tell, this is not in any way connected to the Jalisco Grill…read morerestaurants found elsewhere in the area. I thought maybe it was and that's why I dropped by... nope. Second point - it definitely reminded me of eating in Mexico, so I guess points for being authentic? I genuinely mean that... not trying to crack a joke or anything. Wobbly table and chair, Mexican game show on the TV, random flatware, decorations, extensive almost prison-like gating and fencing built around the building... it seriously reminded me of several of the places I've eaten at in Mexico. Anyway, on to the food! I was hoping to get a Birria plate, but the hostess informed me that they were out of that, so I chose the Chile Verde plate as a Plan B. The verde sauce had good favor... nice little bite to it. The rice was pretty much perfect, and the beans were very good too. Unfortunately, what should have been the star of the show... wasn't. I'm talking about the meat itself... a good Chile Verde should be nice and tender no matter what cut of pork was used since it's slow cooked for a good bit of time. Pork shoulder is commonly used... but Mexican food in general is designed to be flexible - making cheap cuts taste awesome is the whole magic behind Mexican cooking in the first place! The meat used in this case was rib meat. Short ribs. Was some sort of law broken? This was the first time I remembered having bones in Chile Verde - certainly THIS many bones. No rule broken, though... remember what I said about flexibility. Unfortunately, the meat was dry and tough too. I seriously doubt it had been simmered for any period of time... probably didn't spend much time in the verde sauce either. I really don't like writing a review like this, but honesty is honesty. I can and have made much better Chile Verde myself. I'm hoping this was just a bad day, and I hate to judge a restaurant... someone's business and livelihood too harshly based on a single visit on possibly a bad day... but it is what it is. I see that there are some good reviews here, so there's hope! I'm not writing off another visit. I would love nothing more than to give this review a significant upgrade!
