“I tried De Cantera for the first time today. It was excellent. I’ll definitely eat here again.“

“Chipotle, Chipotle, Chipotle! I visited this location yesterday and asked an employee why they don't put more vinaigrette in the containers. He responded that the ingredients used to make it are quite unhealthy, so the small portion they provide is in line with health regulations. Am I overthinking, or was he just messing with me? Haha, because seriously 😐“

“best Mexican food in all of Westminster, probably all of Carroll county“

“We ordered delivery from this place a number of times recently. The burritos are excellent. I like the wrapping and all the ingredients. We generally get chicken burritos, but have tried the beef as well. My wife likes the bowls and my son enjoys the quesadilla. I usually add the corn sauce, salsa, and the fajita veggies as well as the cilantro. The queso dip is also a favorite in our house. Highly recommend this place. Good value as the burritos are large enough for one person. Enjoy!“

“Nearly every Saturday for the past 4 years we have been going to Ernestos. Yes, we are the old couple that sits in the same booth, orders the same food, and same drinks lol. Very exciting. I just wanted to take a quick second to shout them out. Their margaritas are amazing, their food is consistently great and the service is awesome. If you are looking for a locally owned great priced restaurant, look no further. Their happy hours are top notch and they give teachers a discount ❤️. Say hi to our girl Amy if you drop by.

“I am loving the new management. They actually care about the quality and their customers. It's noticable. The food is always fresh and the employees are always friendly. The management has come out multiple times to check on things and make sure we're satisfied. Once they forgot to make a carryout order and we had to wait a few extra minutes and they gave me a ticket for a free meal on them. That's good customer service! Our family will continue to support this Qdoba because they know how to do things right! 👌“

“Over the past 6-months or so, I’m becoming a regular at Compadres restaurant and bar. The food has been excellent on several visits, and the staff and regulars are real nice. On this visit (Jan 2026), I was just stopping in for a quick brew before a long evening. I’ve known some of the staff here, so I knew I’d be comfortable. The bar staff remembered my usual drink, which is always a welcoming feeling. They have a full bar. And they remembered my favorite dish, which I’ve ordered here only once before! I love birria tacos, and they make a terrific recipe. It’s tender slow-cooked shredded beef with rich savory flavors too complex to know all the ingredients. The beef picks up the sweet smokiness of mild peppers, perhaps chipotle, deeply-marinated for hours with herbs that i will guess as cumin, thyme, and others, and caramelized diced onion. It’s loaded with some queso into a folded soft corn tortiila, which is soaked in the marinade, then pan or griddle-seared. Or maybe seared and then filled? Either way, it’s a deeply-colorful hand-held like a super-flavorful super-juicy quesadilla. This birria-dilla is served with a dark reddish consommé of all the flavors of the beef and the marinade, for dipping and dousing and generally risking your clothing to splashes, spills, and wild abandon. Compadres also served me freshly fried thin very-lightly-spiced tortilla chips with a zingy fresh chunky red salsa, and i realized that, without thinking, i was dipping the chips in that luscious consommé more than the salsa! I enjoy the food and the relaxed ambiance of this little place. They recently added a lovely terrifically-detailed mural by a local artist of a pueblo magico, a village of delicious food and good compadres. You know those friends who you always seem to visit at meal-time for a taste of whatever is simmering? These Compadres are those compadres.“

“The food and the service are both great! We’ve never had a bad meal here and the food is very authentic. The staff is very welcoming and always makes great suggestions. They recently started a weekend buffet which is REALLY good and worth trying.“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic food“
