Great spot and was able to accommodate our full group of 20 all at one table. Right in the heart of downtown Stateline too!
Today my husband and I stopped to get some lunch at Cantarito. I had a taco of asada and al pastor. The asada was my favorite, but the hand made tortillas made the tacos even more tasty! My husband had a burrito of carnitas and also liked the flavor. As far as drinks ai got a Mango Margarita. It was good in flavor and refreshing. Our waiter was also very attentive and has a positive attitude. I would definitely go back.
Love this place. Came in and got a table quickly! Great hostess and then Mariana came and waited on us in the best way! She made our birthday dinner perfect. We got guacamole, cheso, tacos and enchiladas! Incredible and fast! Then she brought out the best churros and made my brothers birthday. Thank you Mariana.
Gonzalo made sure that my friend had a lovely birthday. Thank you to the entire staff!
Authentic Mexican! Handmade tortillas, fresh salsa, meat tasted straight off bbq grill. Environment spacious, clean, new age Mexican decor. Staff very friendly.
We came here for drinks and ended up with nacho fries and just wow. So good! Wandering around the strip in south lake before it's too cold was truly beautiful... we had such a good time! We decided to stop into this little restaurant to grab drinks before continuing on and I am so glad we did. First our bar tender was kind and informative.. always a huge plus! And the blackberry tequila punch was phenomenal! Not too sweet, not too alcohol forward it was a good blend. We got the delicious nachos to share doing the fries nachos option and we were not disappointed! So good! Fair price wise and delicious all the way around. This will be a must stop next time we come back.
Came in as a large party of 15 and the service was amazing! Took our drink and food orders quick and came back with all our food in less than 20 min. The servers were super friendly. I had the camarones a la diabla and let me tell you they are A LA DIABLA. It's usually a hit or miss at other places but they were not messing around with the spice level. Latina approved for sure. I also had the spicy tamarind mule and it was so refreshing, definitely recommend. The ambiance was pretty calm since it's across the main plaza everyone usually sticks to that area. They also play good music. Will definitely check out again when we're back!
Nice Mexican spot across from the main plaza across the street! It has plenty of seating indoors and out. We were given a longer wait time but only ended up waiting 5-10 min! The food here was great, got some fresh assortment of tacos. Though ran out of some ingredients already. The kitchen was super backed up that day but I was surprised it took 20-30 min just to have chips and salsa come out
