El Cantarito Restaurant & Bar, located in Portland, offers a delightful dining experience with walls adorned in Mexican art and ample seating. The food is delicious with options like street tacos, Carnitas plate, queso birria tacos, and carne asada taco salad. The ambiance is clean and nicely decorated. Customers praise the spacious and very clean restaurant, with delicious breakfast options like Huevos Rancheros, and the tasty all-day menu. The restaurant has a happy hour from 2 to 5 and ample parking, making it a great spot for Mexican cuisine.
The service could be friendlier, but the quality of the food and drinks, including the Cadillac margarita, makes up for it. Customers describe the Mexican food as "some of THE best" they've ever had, with the service being quick and friendly. The restaurant is praised for its authenticity, with the menudo and tamales de rajas being described as "amazing, like my mother would make at home." The tacos, especially the lengua and al pastor, are also highly praised for their exceptional quality and flavor.
