The man who works here is super friendly, helpful, and runs everything himself! The food is incredible—you have to try the sope! The place is a little run-down, but the food completely makes up for it! This place is a must-visit in La Porte!

The reason id give this place a five star is because you’d judge a book by its cover. El cantarito opened up and it’s bigger and the food taste ideally good until you go back there and realize that the service is terrible. No one is managing the place and it seems they only cater to certain crowds if you pay attention well enough. The same day I said el cantarito was the new best spot I got food poisoning from ordering the taco trip with different meats and multiple people work there but HERE! This place you will get consistency and it’s usually one person or working here. The decor inside could be nicer sure and maybe music with your food but all I’m looking for is good authentic Mexican food and service that’s consistent. El cantarito margaritas unless asked for premium which is a real margarita are the wine based not real margaritas and neither is the food. You can tell it’s not home cooked or not nearly as fresh! This place is closer to authentic ans the food is great. The pricing of course could be lower it seems alittle high but it depends on what your use to and I’ll pay extra knowing my food is being kindly catered too and freshly made. Don’t over look this place! It’s lowkey the best Mexican spot around ❤️ I’ve dined and had take out

The food is amazing and the restaurant is a nice little quaint place. But it's so hard to get food from here. They never open on time, and on multiple occasions, I've gone while they were open, open sign on and everything, just to be greeted to a locked door. Love the authentic Mexican food here, but it's just so hard to get it, seems.

The smell of body odor was overwhelming and the guy picked his teeth with his fingers while we looked at the menu.
