Excellent food and service always!
We usually love this place. Today we had the worst server, never took our order, someone else had to. She brought our drinks without even an apology. We finally got tired of waiting when a couple who came in immediately after us and had already finished their meal. She never once checked on us!
We had a large party on Friday night. About 20 of us. I'm not sure who our server was, younger girl, brunette. Our service was AMAZING! That girl perfected our order, drinks, dinner...everything. Not 1 mistake or missing item. Fantastic service!! Thank you!

El Cantarito is a restaurant known for its consistent quality and friendly staff. The burrito and quesadillas remain popular menu items, particularly the Burrito el Cantarito with carnitas. Recent reviews highlight the perfect tortilla chips that are thin and flavorful, and dishes like the Torta de Cochanita with its amazing pork, fresh baked bread, grilled tomato with grill marks, and perfectly diced avocado. The combination of onion, poblano, and bacon in the torta makes it outstanding. Customers also appreciate the accommodating staff, who easily handle larger groups, and the prompt, courteous service that often includes chips and salsa delivered without request. The menu features gourmet Mexican food, with the Fajita Burrito with grilled chicken and the taco trio meal receiving high praise for their taste and generous portions. The restaurant is usually clean and quiet, providing a pleasant dining experience, and the bathrooms are noted to be clean and handicap accessible. Drinks like the Watermelon Margarita are well-regarded, and the atmosphere is welcoming, with staff greeting diners warmly and joking with them. Although parking can be a challenge, the prices are reasonable for the quality of food. El Cantarito is recommended for great Mexican food, making it a favorite stop for travelers heading to Michigan.
