Cantaritos Cafe is a delightful Latin‑inspired spot with fresh, flavorful dishes and a welcoming vibe! I loved the hearty breakfast and lunch options — from flavorful chilaquiles and the California A.M. burrito to tasty empanadas and arepas. The service was friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made the meal even better. Everything felt made with care, and I can’t wait to go back and try even more from their diverse menu. Highly recommend for authentic, satisfying Latin cuisine in Athens!

It was different receiving a soup instead of chips and salsa. Not bad. The staff is friendly and they accommodated our dairy restrictions without issue. The Cali burrito was pretty good 👍🏼.

Wow! Had the breakfast burrito and potatoes. The tortilla was thin, soft on top, crispy on the bottom, almost like a pastry but not sweet, and the eggs, beans, and cheese were soooo delicious. The potatoes reminded me of living in Spain, sauteed with olive oil, quite tasty. Not your typical fare, very highly recommended!

Food was absolutely delicious 100/10 loved every bite. Quesaburria Tacos are to die for! I tried the house margarita; I love that it doesn't taste like sour mix. They have coffee and espresso!! I am a huge fan of Biscoff, so of course, I got the Biscoff hot latte, and it was also amazing. The appetizer was a small cup of soup and we liked the flavor. Laura was amazing! Im so glad we found this place.

The Biscoff iced coffee was the best I have ever had in my entire life. Litterally would drive here jsut to get that coffee.
Unfortunately the food that I had tasted very under-seasoned, but considering the fantastic reviews this place has I am assuming it was just a fluke. Or maybe just dont get the Chilequilles.

I’m surprised it wasn’t busier when we got there. It deserves more attention and praise. Such good food and great service. As soon as we got there they also gave us a hot soup bowl. It was yummy as everything else was. Will definitely be coming back. And did I mention it’s super reasonably priced? Everything was so fresh! From the produce to the ingredients. You could taste it. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner. So many good options.

Staff was very friendly, food was delicious. It took them a bit and it was cold outside so the server gave me a coffee totally didn't mind the wait.

Wow! Really happy we came here as we were in town visitong family. The food was delicious and full of flavor. Very extensive menu with lots of options from different countries. They even had a full bar which was unexpected. Our meal was so good we ended up ordering food to go as well. Next time we are in Athens this will be our first stop. Cannot wait to return. The only negative comment I have is that their restrooms were not up to par.

10/1/25 Server Thania was a super nice and attentive. If you've never had Chorizo hash you've missed out! Fantastic! I will be back tomorrow for different breakfast speciality.
Good breakfast burrito but it was tiny. $12 for such a small burrito was a waste of money. I had high hopes for this place but this burrito is too small to be an adult meal and was not filling.

Best arepas in Georgia! Everything else we’ve tried is also amazing. Add in great service and atmosphere and it guarantees a 5 star experience. We are happy to make the trip across town just for this place.

We were worried as we approached Cantaritos in a half-deserted strip mall, but decided to take a chance as the number of cars showed it was popular ... I'm so glad that we did. Service was friendly and efficient, the menu had something for everyone, and the food was outstanding. Everything we had was well prepared and apparently made from scratch - the consomme with my birria was amazing. We came for brunch, but will be coming back for dinner soon. Highly recommended as one of the best south/central American restaurants in the Athens area.
