I husband and I went there this past week, we both ordered the chicken fajitas. I'll start with they certainly didn't look like the picture here. The tri colored peppers & onions were uncooked, very hard! And the chicken was small over cooked chicken, sparse! Wasn't served with any sour cream, no toppings, no nothing. Certainly not worth the money! My margarita was served in a small glass, more ice than anything! Won't be back, sorry. But the server was very nice. read more

Chips were the slightest bit stale , the salsa was great. Had a cantarito, it was decent. The camarones al ajillo were good. The carne asada was good. The waitress was nice and gave me recommendations for what seafood platter to get. We went on a Saturday night and it wasn't busy, chill ambience. read more

Los Cantaritos is a great Mexican restaurant in Geneva. They have a large space for dine in and a nice bar inside as well. I ordered the steak taco dinner with cilantro and onion - big size portions and the steak is good quality meat. We also ordered a ground beef taco salad which was good too - a lot of flavor. They have 3 different in house made hot sauces/salsas as well all great - make sure to try the creamy green Jalepano sauce that was our favorite. Our waitress was very friendly as well, I'd recommend Los Cantaritos if you're in the area and want Mexican food. read more

The food is fresh, authentic and delicious! Servers are friendly, yes, somewhat difficult to communicate with because of language barriers, but who cares. The tacos are delicious, and the fajitas, omg, outstanding. Give this new restaurant a try! read more

The food was amazing, best tacos we've had since moving from Arizona. Restaurant is clean, service was right on and we'll certainly come back again read more

We went to a car show and decided to take a chance on a new restaurant. What a great decision! Their drinks were delicious but the food... AMAZING! my kiddo has dairy and egg allergies and they made French fries in fresh oil in a pan. My picky and severe allergy child enjoyed carnitas taco and fries and was asking for more. My husband had a Huachinango and it was big, flavorful, and came with a lot of sides. I had the taco dinner w carne asada, barbacoa, and fish. All of them were great but the fish taco was my favorite! The service was wonderful! The waitress was kind and the fact that they made safe fries was wonderful. The restaurant was busy but not crowded and we were never waiting nor did we feel forgotten. We will definitely make another trip out here and have dinner again! read more

We used to love this place, big portions and reasonable but wait! Did they change ownership? Portions we smalll and prices were waaaay up! So sad... read more

Hidden Gem! Lived in the area for many years and never visited. Great atmosphere, food and service. Give it a try!

Quite surprised in Sat night it wasn't crowded. It was only my party and 2 other parties. The place was clean and service was quick. I got the text dinner, grilled chicken and barbacoa. I was not a fan of either. The chicken was grilled perfectly but no taste to it. The barbacoa was a bit fatty. My daughter had steak and it was good. I should've got that. Margarita was good. read more

The place was clean with the exception of the restrooms. If that's not clean I'd hate to see the kitchen. The food we ordered was average and under seasoned in my opinion. This was our first time and last time. With all of the premo Mexican joints in Aurora I will pass by to the next great spot! read more

This is a good local Mexican restaurant. They have a really good guacamole. Their drink drinks are excellent! If you like spicy, try the spicy margarita. read more

Stopped by for the second time and it didn't disappoint! The restaurant was clean. Immediately greeted by staff to be seated. Started off with complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered the stuffed tilapia with seafood and it was amazing! The flavors complimented well together. The portion was big and I had the rest for dinner the same day. My bf ordered the steak torta and a steak taco which he said were really good. This place has become one of our favorites in the Geneva area. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped by here on the way back from a weekend in Chicago after finding the strong recommendations for Los Cantaritos here on Yelp. It's a nondescript spot from the outside in a strip mall (with plenty of parking). The inside is bright and well decorated and the whole staff was very friendly. I have a theory about finding great inexpensive places for lunch by watching where the guys with the hard hats go, and I was glad to see plenty of reflective safety vests clad people among the customers. The salsa was good and the chips were freshly fried. We ordered the Flautas de Pollo, a Taco Salad, Sopes, and Carnitas Tacos. Portions were big and everything we ordered tasted great - super happy we found this spot! read more

This was a great new spot! It is tucked away and feels like a hidden gem in this strip mall. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was great. A lot of places in the area don't have great chips/salsa or margaritas, but both were stellar! The ambiance is simple but clean too. We ordered 2 margaritas and they were perfectly strong and didn't taste like they just came from a mix. Also ordered 2 different dinners and the quality was fabulous. We will return! read more

Los Cantaritos - Vegetarian burrito and cheese quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

The first time I was here I loved this place, but on my return visit I was extremely disappointed. The Al pastor used to be my favorite in the area but now it's my least. The meat was bland, full of gristle, and price was high. I got a canatitos drink but it had almost no alcohol and for 10 dollars that seemed unreasonable. I used to recommend this place but it has gone way down from what it was before. read more

So disappointed on return visit. Ordered a Virgin Pina Colada for special celebration and it tasted like a vanilla ice cream shake with no flavor for 9.99. The presentation of my meal was lovely but the food had no flavor. Did they change chef?I brought guests and was mortified that the quality had gone way down. There are a lot of good Mexican restaurants nearby, I will not return here. read more

I was looking for a decent lunch spot today close by home and I just found my new Mexican spot. Food and service were excellent. Got the birria tacos and wow, they were fantastic!! Highly suggest. My only regret is not knowing they were here sooner! read more

I had the enchiladas and my husband had flautas and they were both delicious! The steak nachos had a ton of tender delicious steak on them. The margaritas were great and come in adorable pottery cups! We will definitely be back! We also had great service! Thank you! read more

The quality of the food is so good! I'm addicted to their chile rellenos! They have great drinks too. Service with a smile.

Easy parking. Interior design, nice - clean. Better suited for lunch than an elegant dinner. Food was very good chips and salsa, authentic chili Willano's and quesadillas very good. read more

Tried Los Cantaritos for the first time on a Sunday afternoon and it was delicious! Had the Carne Asada Steak Torta, definitely one of the better steak tortas I've enjoyed. The steak was tender and had a great flavor. The torta bread was fresh something that other restaurants struggle with. My spouse had the Chicken Enchiladas Suiza Style with rice & beans and it was tasty. Ambience is basic. Wide open space with a lot of seating. Service was good but time between table visits was lengthy. Server was very pleasant. Overall, great 1st visit and looking forward to returning to try other menu offerings. read more

I've been on a search to find good Birria tacos in the area and this place was top notch! The house Margarita Was great as well as they house make their own mixes.

They take way too long with serving food . 15-20 minute way is ridiculous. They need to learn better time management if I could rate zero stars I would. read more

I have eaten food from here twice. The first time, they were just leftovers from a family member. They were cold, a few hours old, and DELICIOUS. Tonight, my family and I dined it for the first time (for me). I ordered two tostadas - one shrimp, and one asada. They were both terrific. The food here tastes so fresh and the steak was top quality. The shrimp was cleaned nicely, and the steak did not have any fat on it - but still had so much flavor. The rice and beans were also great. Someone in my party ordered the flautas, which have shredded chicken. I did not try them, but they looked incredible. I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but I would definitely order them. I honestly think I would try anything on the menu here. Before I dominate the review with how awesome the food is, I also want to note how clean this place was. I would have literally eaten off of the table if I had no plate. Also, we were greeted by the hostess, who was super friendly. Our waitress was terrific - very warm and very helpful. The Mexican places in Geneva have not been good for a long time. The only one I like is Bien Trucha, but I wouldn't call that authentic Mexican (at least in my family). It's much more gourmet, and almost fusion-y. This is the real deal. Los Cantaritos reminded me of dining at a Mexican friend or family member's house, but in the BEST way. I only have pics of the menu this time since I was trying to focus on family time, but next time I will take pictures. Please try this place, but please leave me a table! read more

My first visit to this place was tonight and I ordered a steak burrito and two tacos. My wife said her tacos were delicious and very filling. My steak burrito was very full and wrapped up firm the way they should be. My only negative is that there was very little steak. Ample beans and everything else but steak was minimal. I will return but I hope there's a bit more meat involved. read more

Had a delicious meal this evening at Los Cantaritos. I had steak fajitas and they came out sizzling hot and were so good. The onions and peppers were done perfectly as was the steak. My husband had the carne asada. He loved it. No complaints from us. Service was good too. All in all, a nice dinner close to home. We will be back. read more

Delicious!! Food is really really good. Staff is so friendly. Very clean. Visiting from Texas and we were not disappointed.

I only got takeout here, so I can't comment on the service. Food was great, I ordered the Tilapia La Plancha. Chips were crisp, and the salsa was fresh. I liked that they put in extra sauces with the meals. At some places, you have to ask for them. I had a bit of trouble finding the address, my GPS directed me to a real estate office. If you're having trouble finding the restaurant, the suite # is 270, and it's next to a vape place. I think they need a brighter sign out in front, something colorful, that stands out. read more

Love the pottery mugs the margaritas come in. Spicy Cucumber marg was delicious. Guacamole was super good, made fresh by our server. Bistek was perfectly cooked and well seasoned, not crazy about the rice but it wasnt bad. the chips and salsa you get were fresh and tasty. Kids liked their tacos, plenty of meat in the tacos on the regular menu so they are worth the price. Service was great too. This would be a 5 star review if not for the interior. It was very clean, so that wasn't the issue. The ambience is a major letdown, i saw another review say it feels like a cafeteria and that's spot on. Way too bright lights, minimal decor, music not loud enough so all tables felt like they had to whisper to each other and the overall color scheme is very "builder grade flipped house". You feel like you are in a Chipotle vs an authentic mexican restaurant. I was hoping for something like the old Jose Marias in Geneva, that cozy feel with murals, etc.. If the vibe was better i would come here to post up at the bar and watch sports and drink some cocktails. I'll definitely be back as the food is great! read more

Very good Mexican food with awesome service. Our waitress was prompt and spot on, the only thing we'd change is the interior. To much of a "cafeteria" feel, bright lights and little decor, just too plain for a good restaurant like this. Maybe they're waiting to see how it does before they re-do the interior....hopefully. I had the steak chimichanga with a side of rice and beans. A large, very flavorful chimichanga with fresh, done perfect steak. My wife got the poblano dinner, she said it was so very good. Both our meals came with ample rice/beans, very tasty. The complementary chips are nice and crisp & the salsa was fresh. We will go back, either dine in or carry-out! read more

Great place. Very good food. Best Mexican I have had in the area. I had chili relleno and the dish was perfect. We also had enchiladas. Chips were good. They had 3 different sauces. 2 red and one green. One was very Hot while the other 2 had good flavor. The atmosphere was a new restaurant. We went in a Saturday night around 630pm and there was not too many people in the place. There were several to go orders being picked up. We were happy we did not have to wait for a table. It seems to be sort of a secret since it's knew. I highly recommend trying the place. read more

We were driving down Randel Road looking for something new and interesting to eat. The excellent Yelp reviews for Los Cantarito jumped out at me. It's hidden away a bit in a strip mall, it's a fairly large space with a nice bar in back. As we were looking at the menu the guy at the bar was juicing Grapefruits and Limes and I suddenly needed a Paloma. They have excellent Paloma's. The only issue is it was kinda small especially for the price, but it was likely the best one I have ever had. On to the food, the menu has all the normal Tex Mex/Mexican standards you would expect plus a few surprises, one being the Alambre Con Queso I got with El Pastor. It was a large portion (plenty to take home) of pork with peppers, onions and cheese. My wife who is now a convert also got El Pastor in Taco form. Both were excellent and they have very good El Pastor. The portions were large, the Refried beans were very garlicky, I was a bit taken back at first taste but they were good. The service was excellent, large portions,and good food, don't miss out, thei is a must try in the area read more

Great food! There are a lot of selections. This is an easy spot to take kids. The margaritas are amazing.

Amazing food and service!!! Steak tack dinner is great. Quick and authentic , decorated nice too!!!

Wow this place is good! The atmosphere is a bit too bright and sterile but the drinks and food are top notch. Chips and salsa fresh and yummy. I tried the spicy cucumber margarita- BEST marg I've ever had! Tried chili relleno SO good. Amazing sample of guacamole. Partner had Bistek a la Mexicana and cleaned his plate! We often visit Mexico - these selections were very authentic and delicious. Service was excellent. Highly recommended. I do think they need to soften up the dining area. It has a bit of a cafeteria feel - could use some warming up. The bar area is great. Will come back for the food and excellent service. read more
