“Really nice place. Didn’t eat but had a margarita pitcher then had a blackberry margarita. Real good drinks. The girl working the bar was extremely nice and made some good drinks I’d def come back. Hoping to be back for drinks on the patio during the summer“

“My coworkers and I decided to grab dinner and drinks here after work. Service was the best I’ve experienced anywhere. Super friendly and attentive, offered great recommendations when we couldn’t decide. The food was incredible. I wish I got some pictures. I ordered the Birria Quesadilla—highly recommend. I’m a dessert person, so I also had the churros and vanilla ice cream. It was SO good!Will definitely be back.“

“We've eaten here a few times and Los Cantaros has transformed into one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. The service, atmosphere, and food is all fantastic. The outdoor seating is the perfect setting for a few of their jumbo margaritas but the beautifully decorated interior is the next best thing.One of our new traditions when we are busy throughout the week is to treat ourselves to Sopes on Sundays. They are by far my favorite mexican dish and the crumbly masa tortillas bring me a lot of joy. The toppings aren't bad either, lol. If you are ever in the area, stop in and grab yourself a cheap meal and be treated with some of the best service on the Seacoast.“

“We probably come here once a week at this point! Service is always with a smile and even when they are busy it is worth the wait! Happy hour at the bar in cocktails and beer 4-6 pm is half priced drinks which are already very reasonably priced. Our total for 2 for dinner on Friday with two drinks was under $40! Come on your birthday and they will sing and dance and bring you churros and a tequila shot!“

“A good hole I'm the wall Mexican restaurant, can't really tell what it is from the outside but it is decorated on the inside nicelyThey have plenty of dining spaces to sit in, and a medium to small sized bar section inside. Slightly on the pricier side but overall very good“

“The Hampton Las Olas crew is continuously giving their all to everyone that walks through their door in need of some good food. It's become ritualistic of my family and I to grab some tacos after returning home from long trips, and I make sure to write a note when I order online to thank them in advance for the much needed meal they'll be providing for us. Without fail, the lovely people over there have written such sweet notes on my boxes each and every time I've thought to mention my gratitude for the workers and the food they cook up for us - especially after a long day of driving, flying and dealing with the airport. My family and I are undoubtedly always happy customers when it comes to the Hampton Las Olas location and we are always looking forward to their awesome service! Thanks to everyone there for putting a smile on my face and a hearty meal in my belly!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(The attached photos are from two separate occasions, each about a year apart)“

“So yummy! Our waitress was super friendly! Having lived in Arizona and Texas with authentic Mexican food, it’s hard to find any place that comes close but this place did not disappoint! The chicken in my enchilada was so tender and moist. Will be stopping anytime we come this way!“

“Sean, the owner/bartender, was super personable and clearly passionate about good food. We got a margarita (fantastic) and two bowls (a steak and a chorizo bowl each, also fantastic). We felt welcome from the moment we walked in and look forward to returning.“

“Alfonso is an amazing bartender. He tolerated our horrible attempt at Spanish speaking with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes. He custom made us a spicy tomatillo sauce per our request. Delicioso!! This was a beautiful, memorable experience. Gracias Alfonso!!“

“Three of us, two adults one 12 year old. All had good food and drink--though none were alcoholic so can't speak to those. An order of a skillet burrito, pork tacos and a kids taco all arrived quickly and the food seemed fresh and tasty. Chips and salsa were fine but not remarkable. Service was good. Pricing was appropriate. Nothing to mark down. A perfectly fine Mexican restaurant.“
