Friendly service, very clean environment, I wish they had gluten-free options but over all super good food and price wise not bad. Big portions as well, very flavorful meat beans and rice read more

Best Nachos in the area I always order the Steak Nachos at this place and I'm always coming back with a smile on my face I highly recommend the nachos here because you will not regret it!!! I also enjoy the burritos there you can make it however you want and the quesadillas don't disappoint when someone asks where I want to get Mexican Food it's always gonna be Los Cantaros read more

Long wait at lunch, staff works as quickly as possible, but there are just not enough staff to support the demand. Ordered vegetarian burrito-it was okay, but the spot. Added on "super" which means cheese, guacamole and sour cream. They put barely any cheese and guacamole so that was a disappointment. Their salsa was okay. I did like that they loaded it with veggies and you can choose your tortilla. read more

This place is at the end of my street and let me tell you, I am so grateful! I've only experienced it for take out as I moved in during the pandemic but the burritos are so good! I have tried most of the flavors and I think the SL pastor is my favorite. The service is suuuuper quick and easy (I never call ahead and my food is always ready in like 5 minutes) read more

I've heard great things about this place from friends and the yelp reviews, I finally decided I would check it out so I called to place my order just for the phone to give a busy signal as if it was purposely left off the hook. If you can't even answer the phone I'm mot gonna waist my time traveling to your location the doors might not be open either. If taking phone orders isn't your thing then state that so the people know. read more

Good and fast place to eat! The food is very delicious and they as super fast with the orders! Horchata and Jamaica are so thirst quenching.. only down part is that they don't have menudo on the weekends but no worries read more

Tried this from Yelp Delivery and we were pleasantly surprised! Tried the fish tacos and fish burrito and they were really good! Fish was fried nicely and not greasy. Sauces were flavorful and veggies were fresh! read more

Great neighborhood taqueria and glad we finally checked it out! Chips and salsa had nice fresh taste. We had a veggie super burrito, chicken breast super burrito and santa fe chicken taco salad. All were delicious. Lemonade and mango strawberry aqua fresca were good drink choices. Restaurant was very clean with cheerful decor. Will definitely come back! read more

Fresh and simple Mexican food. The CA surf and turf burrito was bomb. Salsa tasted home made and and had a good kick! Service was fast and friendly. My only criticisms are :the guac could use a lil more flavor of cilantro/lime/salt-not a huge fan of smashed up avocados wanting to be guac. Plastic covers on top of each table is a little strange but efficient nonetheless. Overall a good experience and a great option if you want to bypass the crowds at the Los Pericos taquerias on 14th St in San Leandro. read more

(-The Negative) So, having frequented here for mostly lunch I feel like I have a good knowledge about this place and have given it the benefit of the doubt beyond my better judgement. At first, I totally liked almost loved this place but then I don't know what happened, maybe under new management or something changed because they fell off...drastically. Don't get me wrong the food is above average which is why I come here, like I said, even against my better judgement but what deters me from being a true regular at Los Cantaros Taqueria is the horrid customer service. Seriously, the phone ordering is, at best a travesty. I have to constantly repeat myself and often find myself loudly speaking almost to the verge of yelling at the phone because either losing my patience of repetition. And to top things, I usually end up with the what I exactly didn't want. If you dine in, do yourself a favor, try to come in after lunch rush, because the cashiers usually do double duty as the waitress as well as (bless her soul ) but if you're running short on time, yeah, then this place might not be suited for you. (+On the plus side) The food is delicious. Their tacos to quesadillas to even their plantains are exceptional. I usually have ordered their prawn and al pastor tacos, which I highly recommend because the way they season it is perfection! Also, please try their house salsa as it has savory blend but a nice little kick of heat to it! The agua fresca is also bonus and seem to be made fresh! read more

Uh, absolutely NOT. Wow, I've been eating Mexican food almost my entire life and I am astounded by the poor quality and flavor of the food here. Everything tastes premade with the cheapest ingredients possible. I started with the cucumber agua fresca which was delicious so I was excited from the onset. The chips and salsa came next and I thought those items were tasty. The strawberry lemonade was lackluster but the entree emphatically slid the whole experience downhill. I had the enchiladas, one cheese and one ground beef. No joke--I've had better canned enchiladas. The ground beef was particularly hard to choke down because it was full of gristle. The red sauce tasted cafeteria grade and the beans and rice followed suit. Sadly even the side salad was bland. Good thing I was really hungry or else I would have ditched my plate and found something worth the calories. Initially I wanted to come back and try the mushroom quesadilla yet I don't think it's worth returning. One star for cleanliness and one for swift service. read more

I went here for a work lunch with my boss and coworkers and my oh my I was pleasantly surprised. The food was great! I literally have no complaints. I tried the Mexican style street tacos and with chicken and it was mouth watering. I will definitely be coming back for more tacos and to try other things on the menu. read more

Well, I guess all good things come to an end. Since my second visit to this place it's been down hill. I have been there about 6 times and my orders have been consistently wrong. Condiments are at the end of the burritos. Black beans are under cooked and chalky. I don't know what happened to this place but I'm throwing in the towel. I'm off to fine some place better. read more

One of the worst burritos I've had in my lifetime. It had somewhat of a sour taste. You can tell the steak was old. Heads up to the chef. When it's a delivery order, make sure everything is fresh, including the free .nachos. read more

Today, on June 9th, 2017, is the day where the Class of 2017 from my high school graduates. Unfortunately, I am unable to walk the stage and graduate with my class year because I'm behind on credits, so no ceremony for me.. Sad face. To make up for it, knowing that I wouldn't be graduating with everyone else on this exact date, I told my hubby beforehand if I can get a burrito from here. He agreed, and I finally got it! WOOHOO! I may not be getting a diploma in my hands, but I did get a pretty scrumptious burrito in MY hands. Ordered via DoorDash delivery, it took approximately 40-55 minutes for my burrito to arrive, but I didn't mind. DoorDash had a brief notice that their Dashers are quite busy with other orders, so it was understandable. I'm quite lucky enough to have a warm burrito by the time it arrived. So if you plan on ordering delivery just like me, then make sure to be on the look-out for said notice and such. Anyways, let's talk about the burrito. The burrito is the definitely the star of this review. I ordered a: SUPER BURRITO that consisted of a Spinach Tortilla, Rice & Black Beans, Carnitas (Pork), and Pico de Gallo with the usual fixings of guacamole and sour cream. Man, oh man. I enjoyed my burrito very much so. I was quite confident about my tortilla choice since I knew spinach was definitely healthier, but also sounded good in comparison to a regular ol' flour tortilla. I have never tried a spinach tortilla in my life, and I'm glad my first time trying it out was the burrito from this place. The tortilla was easy to pull apart, and wasn't chewy or hard at all. The flavor of the spinach is definitely there if you can sit there and carefully chew it to your hearts content. The green color of the tortilla looked pretty as well. The carnitas was flavorful and I was not disappointed. It was nice and juicy and definitely kept its moisture thanks to being wrapped up with all the other ingredients in the burrito. The rice and beans were on point. Pico de Gallo was fresh, and so was the guacamole. I loved the fact that there was no jalapeno in my burrito as well. Sorry to offend anyone, but I can't stand little bits (not even slices) of jalapeno in my burrito. I'm glad that they didn't include it since I asked them not to in my order. ;) That made me a happy camper. I usually order a burrito from Los Pericos, but their super burritos are hella tiny. They don't seem "super" at all. But I'm glad that the super burrito from Los Cantaros have been on their A-game this entire time and actually offer a REAL super burrito. The super burrito(s) from this joint are nice and fat. Like, super thicc. But it's perfect and definitely lives up to what a super burrito should be. They will only charge you $1 if you plan to upgrade a regular burrito from their menu to a super. I highly recommend the size upgrade. It is absolutely worth it. It fills you up, and if you can't finish it in one sitting, then that's fine too! Because you can always save it for later. I am extremely pleased with how well my burrito turned out and tasted. Overall, eating this burrito made me really happy and definitely made up for the fact that I wouldn't be graduating today. So I'd like to thank my hubby for buying it for me, and the guys at Los Cantaros for crafting such a magnificent burrito. What can I say? Even burritos can cure a sad, hungry person. (Like me). I am totally telling my hubby to order me more burritos from this place more often. Maybe at some point in 2018, I'll come to this establishment in person with him. Goodbye Los Pericos, hello Los Cantaros! This will definitely be the new delivery spot for me and my cravings for a burrito. P.S: They gave me a complimentary bag of free chips & salsa. Both were very good. 10/10 read more

Love this place! Everything we have ordered is delicious! Fast delivery Try it you won't be sorry!

Came across this place as we had a food service gift card needed to use it and wanted to try it out. The Baja fish burrito is great and different than other places with that chipotle sauce. There is a slight kick to it. The tacos are good as well...chicken has beans which my toddler loved it all and the fish taco is very flavorful too! read more

First time here. The ordering process is a little misleading at first glance. You walk in and direct yourself to a table first but have to order at the counter for the food. There are no menus for seated guests which I find kind of awkward for those of us who are visually impaired. The food was decent enough. I ordered the 2 sopes plate and my hubby ordered the camarones a la diabla (if you like spicy this does not skimp on the heat). The lemonade i had was not great but not the worst I've had. Overall I would go back if I was in the area since there's a newly renovated park across the lot. I think if they added a little background music and added a server who can take orders from seated guests that may make the place more welcoming. Maybe a happy hour? Hehe read more

Great place for vegetarians! Veggie burrito has actual grilled vegetables in it. Grilled broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms and onions. Unlike other establishments where they would only use beans, rice and cheap lettuce. This place is legit when they say veggie. Also the veggie tacos was awesome! read more

The service was friendly and the food was awesome. The restaurant is clean, attractive decor and comfortable seating. Next door to a nice ,family friendly park. I will visit again. Thank you read more

I order a streak quesadilla. It taste salty and it not crisp as it show. My sister order from them too and they put a chip in little bag. She say no onion on her taco. And they put it. Presentation of food is poor. I will never order from them again read more

It's rare you find a place that has a good veggie burrito, for us non meat eaters. This place really came through. My burrito was packed solid with delicious sautéed veggies, rice and beans. So good! Most taquerias I go to.... really skimp in this department. I'll get a rice burrito with the occasional pepper chunk and bean. Will return, for sure. read more

I'm disappointed for the second time! They lack consistency with their food. I odered the steak sopes and the thick tortilla looked like it had been reheated and not fresh. The edges were hard, dry and chewy! Not sure I'll be going back!. A very regretful lunch! read more

Ordered a grilled veggie burrito, it was soggy, barely had any beans, rice or cheese, but also huge chunks of onion, broccoli and zucchini??? No salsa, guac or sour cream that was charged for either, not that it would have helped much. read more

One night I came here for dinner after seeing it's high rating, and it surprised me when there were only three people in the restaurant: the cook, cashier and one guy at the bar. I still ordered a steak & shrimp burrito bc I was starving and it was really good! I came here recently for lunch and their pork chile verde was excellent; chunks of tender pork wrapped in a warm tortilla hit the spot. I will keep coming here and try the rest of the menu. Their steak quesadilla looked really good too, by the way read more

Los Cantaros is the cursebreaker! Several other establishments have come and gone since the peach pit closed, but this one will surely be here to stay! One of the three best burrito spots in San Leandro. It offers tasty flavors at affordable prices. Stick to the simple stuff and you'll be happy. Stray into mole burrito territory and you might get let down. Now available on door dash and I live nearby. This is my most frequently consumed burrito, but that's because it's closest to where I live. Their refried beans are awful always opt for whole beans, even on nachos. It's a gross thing, you'll just have to trust me on this. If you're in the area, then this is a great place to stop and grab a bite. There are better taquerias out there. Only 5 in the east bay that I can think of though, which places Los Cantaros at #6 in my book and that's worth an honorable mention when you eat as many burritos as I do. CHAD read more

Among the best taqueria's from as far away as San Jose. Muy authentico. Had the heart healthy shrimp and vegetable plate. Delicious whole pinto beans that were some of the best I've ever had outside of my mother-in-law's. Shrimp tasted like they were marinated and grilled with skewers. 11$ buck lunch special. The vegetables were probably the best part in that they had a light grill flavor and did not taste like shrimp pan flavor at all. There was zuchinni, string beans, peppers, other stuff, as well as small bits of pineapple. The only knock I would give would be the store bought corn tortillas which to their credit were brought in the small styrofoam container to keep warm. They were actually as fresh as store bought could be. My partner had the chicken enchiladas with molé. They were very good. A surprise as well but not the best molé sauce I've ever experienced. The crumbled cheese, rice, and smashed pinto(refried?) beans were, again, excellent.(12.50) The gooey, milky sweet filling inside the warm, toasty, sugar/cinnamon crusted churro is worth the trip from 30 miles away! My wife says that they have two other restaurants(Oakland and somewhere else). I will find out. read more

Second time here. Breakfast burritos are the bomb. What's really cool about the breakfast burritos, is that you get a choice of how you want your eggs. Yes you can order them over easy, inside the burrito. Sounds strange but is really good. I highly recommend trying it. Both times the waitresses are very polite and professional. You're missing out on something great if you don't try this place. Definitely 5 stars here read more

There are a lot of good burritos in town, but Los Cantaros probably has the best, biggest, and the most options. My girlfriend and I ordered a fajita burrito in a spinach tortilla and a chicken mole burrito in a flour tortilla. The fajita burrito was fresh and smoky and the mole was wonderfully flavorful and spicy. Both burritos were huge. This is probably a small detail, but the foil wrap was perfect. It was a slightly heavier foil and they used one piece instead of the typical two, which made it easier to peel back. I looked forward to stopping in for a breakfast burrito soon. read more

You totally wouldn't think from their outside appearance, but this place is a hidden gem. Their staff is very friendly (felt like family), their inside was clean and decorated very nicely and their steak burrito was great! Interestingly enough, they had various tortillas (spinach, tomatoes, etc) which I've never heard of. Highly recommended to get your taco or burrito fix while in the area! read more

Solid Mexican food. Prices are very reasonable. Chips and sauces are excellent. The chips are thin and they keep them warm. Kudos. I had the carne Asada plate and it was spot on. The meat was thin and cooked just right. Tender and juicy. If I'm ever in this area again I will give this place a stop. Service was prompt. read more

Delicious breakfast burritos. Their salsas and hot sauce are not for the faint of heart though. So if you have questionable heat tolerance I would suggest asking for sauce on the side only read more

Good food. Nice place. Came in here on a Sunday night when the local football team (Raiders) was playing. It was empty then, and only two others came in when I was about to leave. It was my first time here since we were craving for Mexican food. The place looks renovated. They had an ample amount of seats, and I think they partly share the parking lot with a park close by. They had a lot of choices that most Mexican restaurants had, like type of beans and also type of wrapping they would use for burrito. I was looking for the usual wrap, but I guess it's nice to try other things, though it might be inconsequential. I got take out, and food didn't take too long. The price is about normal. The food is great. I got steak for burritos, steak tacos and chicken for their quesadilla. I don't see it too often, but they gave us sour cream in a little container. There were chips and salsa as well. I'd visit again if I was around the neighborhood. read more

First impressions count and Los Cántaros hit the mark on all levels!!! I occasionally frequented this restaurant location while growing up when it was called "The Cherry Pit". It had some of the best Chinese food in the bay! Unfortunately, not only did it gradually fall apart, so did the food (yucky)! They closed their doors and Jorge's had a brief stint--so brief that I never had the opportunity to try it. I finally had the opportunity to visit this newly renovated establishment now known as, "Los Cántaros"! They are definitely here to stay because the food was fresh and it tasted like an authentically cooked Mexican meal (yummy)! I couldn't make up my mind so I had a Carne Asada Plate and Rancheros Camarones (because I wanted a combination plate of Steak n' Shrimp). I definitely took home leftovers and it became breakfast for me and the kiddos! The atmosphere was colorful and fresh. It didn't have a weird smell that most establishments have. It was just plain ol' cute and welcoming and most importantly...CLEAN! Including the bathroom I used to wash my hands. Clean and fresh with no smell of urine...(gross). I enjoyed my visit and will be returning! When you go, please be prepared to order and pay in advance before being seated--but no worries you will be pleased with the service! Attentive and friendly! read more

Went there for the first Time the place is overrated and the food was cold and tasted old. Will not go back

This place is alright. I had a super steak burrito and that's what it was, just alright. Lacked flavor. NOT the best Mexican food in San Leandro. Don't let the reviews fool you. read more

Good tasting food! Service was great and fast. Really cute and clean place. Great variety of choices, we will definitely be back again very soon! Every one of us liked what we ordered. read more
