I felt like I was in my Mexican Cousins kitchen having dinner with the family! Such a cool vibe and you tell that this family takes PRIDE in their business :) our waitress was a real sweetheart! Thank you for great service and hospitality! It was taco Tuesday night for me and my Husband agreed as part of the marriage that I get tacos on Tuesdays! I had the taco platter, steak tacos, beans and rice. He got cheese enchiladas with beans and rice. WOWZA! EVERYTHING was delicious! Steak was good and seasoned well! Hearty tacos and the beans were seriously THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD! I eat ALOT of Mexican food and I grew up on the west coast and these were absolutely amazing! The best! The cheese enchiladas were yummy too! My husband added dried peppers to his (inside the enchiladas) and it was yummy! I had an horchata and he had hibiscus and both were fantastic! Nice bonus is you can BYOB! Nice! They have tamales, pozole and menudo on the weekends so we will be back for that! They have been there for 18 years and I can see why! I LOVE supporting local businesses and I'm glad we found Los Cantaritos!

The BEST Mexican food in Chicago! Their pozole always hits the spot, has the perfect amount of…read moreflavor and since I've been getting Los Cantaritos pozole, I haven't ordered from another spot since. Tacos are packed with meat, flautas are always fried to perfection. Tortas are always super fresh too. The tacos dorados (fried tacos) are always so good, especially the potato ones. They have a great menu. And they offer both Coke and Pepsi (if your family is like mine and there's always a fight lol) The staff is super friendly and you can tell they take pride in their restaurant. My only cons are the rice is hit or miss and I wish they were open just a bit later during the week and/or on Monday's. Not taking a star off for this because their food and service is SO GOOD it deserves 5 stars and they deserve a day off !

Park next to the restaurant's dark window if you want to keep your eyes on your car. And come during daylight hours. Now that you have worked up your courage and taken inventory of your surroundings, quickly get inside this quiet, but friendly diner. Seated guests get a big basket of hearty tortilla chips and a smokey, creamy green salsa to start their meal. I came specifically for caldo de res, but they were out. Then I asked for carnitas tacos. They were out of that as well. Third choice was caldo de pollo. This bowl of soup was so surprising. Unlike most chicken and vegetable soups, this caldo had a deep, rich, red broth made from mild chilis. Two tender pieces of stewed chicken easily shredded with each scoop of soup. You must add the onion, cilantro, lime, roasted hot chilis and green salsa to get a flavourful complex gustatory experience. If you eat the spicy roasted chilis, be sure to have a drink to cool your tongue. Buen provecho! $25 for bowl of caldo de pollo, medium juice, small horchata, tip.

Come to find out that they hadn't even started making it yet. It was Father's Day, and we had to hit the road. Seeing how our order was not even started yet, and it was nearing the one hour mark, (again, for only 2 tacos and a torta), we told them to cancel our order because we had to leave. No effort from staff during the long wait. Still got charged over five bucks for our drinks.

Be sure to have your order repeated back. I heard some people in there complaining about orders being wrong. I ordered two Carne Asada Gorditas with rice. My Gorditas were pretty good. The steak could've had more seasoning to it. And more cheese could've been in it, but they did the job. The rice was good. Everything was reasonably priced. The green sauce is good as well as the salsa for the chips. I do wish that they gave out more sauce. I also ordered a Jamaica juice. The juice was strong and very sweet, it tasted good! I only give four stars because the seasoning flavor of the carne asada could've been much better, but lots of people go here. This is a pretty popular spot. I felt safe while I was in there placing my order.
