We shared steak and chicken tacos (it was taco Tuesday so that's all we wanted!) and they were DELICIOUS! Hearty and flavorful indeed! I had a michelada and he had a lime margarita and a shot. Both were on point! The service was great and friendly. We enjoyed just sitting there and eating. The staff were so nice and friendly to us. It's a beautiful Mexican restaurant with great culture. They also have a bar too so we are going to go back soon! Only reason 4 out of 5 stars is that they didn't have happy hour or a taco special :)

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 !

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!

He said it was amazing! 2 people could eat it, it's huge! He had a lime margarita and I had Paloma's. The drinks were decent, we like STRONG drinks so next time we may order some shots!
