El Cantaro serves delicious Mexican-style vegan food, offering a variety of options that include enchiladas, taquitos, and chile relleno, with choices of black or pinto beans and red or green sauce. The spinach enchiladas with mild red sauce and pinto beans remain a popular choice, although spice-sensitive individuals should be cautious, as the sauce can be surprisingly spicy. The menu has expanded with tasty items like the crispy potato taco, which is praised for its nice warm filling and outer crispy layer. The spinach salad is also highlighted for its simplicity and deliciousness, featuring strawberries, jicama, and pumpkin seeds, along with a sweet dressing.
While some flavors could be improved, the vegan options at El Cantaro are fresh and flavorful, making it a great spot for both vegans and non-vegans. Customers have enjoyed dishes like the mushroom taco, which is juicy and umami-rich, as well as the "chicken" and "steak" tostadas that are hearty and well-seasoned. With great portions, lovely staff, and a 100% plant-based menu, El Cantaro is a must-visit for anyone in Monterey looking for satisfying vegan meals.
