As I'm writing this, it is Cinco de Mayo, a great place, and I got seated immediately. El Paso, tacos and beer are packed, but I wasn't even able to get food. Here is a 10/10. Everywhere else was out of food or unable to be seated because of the 1-hour wait, but this place is amazing. The Ambiance is great, also. Enmanuel is the goat read more

I'll keep editing as our food comes Free fresh hot table chips, thin but crispy and sturdy. Salsa is medium heat. Guacamole could use a little work but isn't bad. I ordered the "K. Combo" and it consisted of four items though the chalupa is really just a tostada. And I asked about it and he confirmed the tostada thing was in fact their Chalupa. Kinda disappointing. The enchilada and taco sauce tastes canned not made in house. The ground beef flavor and texture was very good. Wife's chimichanga was merely okay. The guac, ground beef, and hot chips were my favorite. Some of the chairs are garbage. I likely won't return because of how many Mexican restaurants are around and you can easily (should be able to? hopefully) do better. 3.25 read more

I met a few friends here for dinner. Two people I used to work with and on creepy crawly fellow we named Roger. The California burrito was HUGE filling and good. With the exception of Roger, an unwanted interloper, it was a good evening. Food was good, reasonable prices, they do get busy! read more

We've eaten here at least 20 times in the last 3 years and would have rated it 4*. We ate here Wednesday night and it was packed full because very few were open from the snow. I always get the Carnitas dinner and it's always fresh and juicy. What I got Wednesday night was not only cold but was dry like it was a few days old. There is no excuse for serving old food and my wife got food poisoning from her dish. They lost a loyal customer. read more

I love the soft tacos. Soft tacos are the best tacos in the world. They are good because the texture is great and the flavor is just great. read more

The food was really great! So great I didn't even get a chance to take pics of the apps. Our server was fantastic. He was very eager to give us service with a smile. He explained the menu thoroughly because it's intense. The restaurant had such a happy atmosphere. We were greeted with smiles as we walked in the door. I will say thé Chorizqueso dip was so good. The Guacamole was fresh. The Salsa was spot on and the authentic chips were HoT! If you visit this restaurant, bring your appetite because the portions are huge. And don't forget to order the Guacamole read more

Only customer in the place 1500 in the afternoon. One waitress only had one table and could not get it right. Simple order No Onion and Peppers. Food comes out to the only table in the whole place and full of onions and peppers. Call her over and showed her and she said well it get mixed up on the grill. I DON"T GIVE A RATS BUTT. Not my problem, fix it. But no. She walks away. Looking for about five minutes for the waitress and had to walk to bar and she asked you need something. WTF do you think with my empty glass. Asked for refill of tera unsweet and sure enough sweet tea. This woman could not get her name right. Poured the tea in togo cup for wife and she came and took it. Will have long talk with management at later date. Will not be back iwll head to Carrettas. For Los Cantaritos just screwed the pooch. DONE. Garbage. read more

This is our 2nd time here, the 1st time we were with a group of people and I couldn't remember what the food was like so we went again, just the 2 of us. The food was delicious and plenty.

Los Cantaritos - Steak tacos - Mexican Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Stopped in for dinner and was greeted warmly and led to a table. This location has had several aliases and so I was curious to see the latest rendition. They have done a nice job of freshening up the inside and created a number of semi private eating spaces which is a plus as the previous open seating "cafeteria" style layout was loud and made table conversation difficult. So, kudos for that. The prices are also reasonable and in line with other Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. The food? It was solidly good without being great. Beef taco, Beef enchilada, Beef and bean burrito. The taco needed some help in the presentation area. The burrito and enchilada were plated separately and were smothered/drenched in a tomato based sauce and it was too much. The burrito was a little doughy. So I didn't eat it. And these too could have been helped by the presentation. I think all of these things are fixable and I wish them the best. read more

Absolutely my favorite restaurant in Slidell. Go here once a week, have tried something different every time and everything has been delicious. Pricing is great. One of the most economical places to eat in town. Have 2 for 1 medium Margharitas every night. Service and ambiance is wonderful. read more

Stopped in today as a recommendation to try for lunch today. I will say that the food is totally horrendous and the service was mediocre. Not sure how you a place can be empty and all you do is order 4 hard tacos and nachos, and they arrive at the table within 5 minutes which was nice but they were a completely soggy nasty mess. The chicken nachos were soggy corn chip soup with zero flavor and not to mention instead of covered with queso it was just shredded cheese and had been put in the oven. The tacos both beef and chicken could not even be picked up. The taco shells were completely soggy and everything has to just be eaten with a fork. Sad to say this is the first and last time I will ever visit this business and definitely would never recommend them to anyone. Too bad can't leave a negative star review!! The best bang for the money in Slidell on Mexican cuisine is still EL PASO cause a lot of food for the money and nachos and tacos are never soggy when brought to the table. read more

We've been to Los Cantaritos a few times now that we moved to Slidell. In my opinion this is the best Mexican food in the area. I'm from California and haven't been able to find good Mexican food since moving here. Los Cantaritos is the best we've found. Their fajitas are really good and you get a ton of food. I recently had the carne asada French fries and they were fantastic. I highly recommend Los Cantaritos. read more

Ok I would first like to say that the choriqueso is the best I've had anywhere, EVER. This reason alone is enough reason to give this business your money. And I bet you're wondering where the beautiful picture of it is. Well...there isn't one because my boyfriend and I were so excited to eat it that it was gone before I could think to snap a pic! But let me tell you. Their chorizo queso is LOADED down with fresh vegetables (mainly onions) and fresh meaty chorizo. It even comes with four, warm tortillas that you can load down with the sloppy cheesy goodness. Another perk of this restaurant: reasonably priced margaritas! And - they were very good! Not too strong but don't worry there is definitely a kick. I ordered the asada burrito and it was pretty tasty. My boyfriend got the O combination platter and it was sooo much food for the price (which was around $13). We both came home with leftovers for the next day. The waitstaff was super lovely. Shoutout to the girl that complimented my hair. I have absolutely no critiques for this place. The takeaway: if you are in Slidell and want Mexican food, choose this place. It's really great for a lot of reasons (but especially for their chorizo queso) read more

We've visited this location twice. On the first visit, it was decent. The food was good, but not extravagant. The frozen margaritas was super sweet, and weak. My kids chicken tenders were okay though. We was able to split the fajitas. It was filling for the price. Our second visit wasn't the best. We were never greeted. Though it was a wait, there was no one at the stand to take our names. When one of the employees finally walked up, he never greeted us, or smiled.. we ended up leaving. Hopefully, they will get it together. read more

Los Cantaritos - Horchata with a shot of rum. - Mexican Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

By far much better than the other local Mexican restaurants in the area. Highly recommend you try them out

we ordered the combination fajitas for two and they were $34. There was literally enough steak to make one and a half fajita tacos out of the entire plate. There was enough chicken to make two fajita tacos on the plate and then there was 5 pounds of vegetables.. I brought the concern to the waiter. I brought the concern to the manager and they explained to me that only 8 ounces of chicken and 8 ounces of steak came with the order. They have no idea the fact that 8 ounces equals half a pound when I tried to explain them what 8 ounces and tails, they asked me if I'd like to pay for another . the part that flipped my lid is they started talking in Spanish thinking I didn't know what they were saying They called me a dumbass in Spanish amongst a few other words, so I will do everything with my power to make people aware of how this company treats its customers. read more

This is a relatively New Mexican restaurant in Slidell but it never disappoints. I must have eaten/ takeout 4 times now and every time, you look forward to going back. So I did a takeout today and ordered everything from fajitas chicken nachos ($12.99) to chalupas vegetarian gemelas ($7.50 but won't recommend it) to chicken quesadillas dinner ($10.50) to classic fajita chicken for 2 ($24.99) to burrito bandera ($13.99) for a grand total of $77 bucks. I mean, 4 out of 5 good dishes is 80% success rate and I'll take it anytime. El Paso, is still more reasonable price wise and quantity wise but Los Contaritis makes up for quality albeit slightly More expensive. Customer service is always top notch so Pls do give it a try. read more

Save your time, money, and happiness... go to Carreta's Grill. It's much better and very consistent. The first time I went to Los Cantaritos, it was amazing!! HOWEVER, it's been absolutely terrible ever since. I've ordered practically the same thing everytime: #17, It comes with a Chile Relleno, quesadilla, and beef and bean burrito from the lunch menu and then whatever the closest plate was on the dinner menu (only difference is the dinner menu item came with a chicken quesadilla instead of a beef one) The second time I visited, the chicken quesadilla was horrible, I couldn't eat it. It was as if they emptied an entire can of chicken on a tortilla, folded it up, and didn't cook it all the way. My entire plate was soaked in some sort of juice, everything was soggy. It was horrible. The beef also tasted wet, canned, and flavorless. The chile relleno breading was horrible and not cooked all the way, but the inside was fine. The third time I visited, the Chile relleno wasn't cooked all the way, when I cut it open, the cheese wasn't even melted. And of course the outside wasn't cooked all the way. What is going on? There were also flies and fruit flies flying around everywhere. Last but not least, who ever thinks they have the BEST margaritas in town are sadly mistaken. Mediocre at best, just saying. I probably won't be back. read more

This is the best Mexican food in Slidell! The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice and bright with Mexican motif! The service was quick and the food was still hot, because their to-go containers come in sturdy tin foiled dishes. The seasoning is mild and not all about how spicy you can make it. The guacamole and salsa are mild. Great place to go if you love Mexican food. read more

Always have a great meal here and they are so polite. Definitely surpassed El Paso. They also have great service.

Yeah, I know y'all are still new and still trying to find your groove, but come on! Seats available but still have a wait before seating. Waitress very slow to the table. Had to be 80° inside and the outside temp was 75°, sweating while eating sux! Food just OK. Taco soggy come on. Figure it out quick or you will be gone too. read more

Eating dinner excellent food great service the waitress and waiter are vey friendly they get your order right

My husband land I was traveling thru Slidell and decided to stop. We figures it would be "just another" Mexican restaurant...we ordered the Texan fajita (shrimp, chicken and steak). We were totally surprised at how good it was! It was so good we couldn't stop eating. Will definitely be back for more! If you're ever in Slidell, make sure you stop off at Los Cantaritos, you definitely will not be disappointed! Kudos to the chef!! read more

SUCH GREAT SERVICE SINCE WE WALKED IN, everyone was sweet and spoke to us and greeted us with such a sweet attitude. Well the food was ok. It lacked an authentic "Mexican taste" i came with my mom and i had 3 shrimp tacos and a chicken quesadilla. the rice and beans were actually reallyy good , the tacos were good but the chicken quesadilla was not tasty - it was really really wet and was overstuffed with meat. My mom had a chicken chimichanga (wet as well) and a hard and soft chicken taco ALL OF OUR TACOS fell apart soon as we picked them up. The salsa at the table was watery and the drinnks weren't all that great. I enjoyed the service over the food but i highly doubt I'll be back to the restaurant. read more

My 76 year old neighbor lady and I wanted to try this place when it opened and we found our opportunity this past Sunday night. The decor is warm and welcoming, it seems to always be crowded, so there is a bit of organized chaos as you come in, but everything is quickly sorted and you are seated with your drink order and chips/dip in front of you in no time. The menu is typical Tex-Mex fare, but there's a substantial amount to chose from and a great Vegetarian and Kids Menu as well. As I found out, they are more than willing to take an entree and tailor it to your diet needs, which is what I did when I wanted the Bistec la Mexicana but without rice, beans or tortillas. Everything was fresh-tasting and well prepared. The only glitch was our wonderful server, Edith, misheard my dining companion on the type of protein she wanted in her taco salad. When we caught the mistake, the manager voided it off the ticket with no muss or fuss. Good food, fast service and very affordable entrees. We'll be back! read more
