Cantaritos Mexican Bar & Grill

This is my new favorite taco spot in Royal Oak! Everything was good. You know it will be a good experience when the chips & salsa SLAP! 1st order is free, refills are $3. Staff was patient, helpful & friendly. The rice & beans are seasoned well. The food for me overall is a 10/10. I will definitely come back & bring a friend.

Cantaritos is a vibrant new spot with authentic Mexican decor and a spacious, welcoming layout. The service was attentive and friendly, ensuring a smooth dining experience. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable, making it a great choice for casual meals or celebrations.With its lively ambiance, excellent service, and affordability, Cantaritos is a must-try for Mexican food lovers.

We are frequent flyers at Cantaritos. We often eat in and sometimes do carry out. You cannot beat the quality, service and value. My husband typically orders the carnitas- he says they are nice and tender and flavor is unbelievable. I almost always order the chicken enchiladas with the red sauce. The red sauce is on the sweeter side and the green sauce is a little tangy. We have tried the tres leche cake and it is definitely big enough to share with 3-4 people.

Really great location in the heart of downtown Royal oak. Great service and I loved the vibe and food, I went on a week night so it wasn't busy but I know this place is probably packed if you go there and a game happening or it's a weekend. I would definitely recommend you giving them a try!!

Honestly have not had a bad experience. Food comes out fast, service is good and friendly. It's authentic. I haven't been disappointed. Their house margaritas aren't overly sweet like usual sweet and sour mix, which is really nice. It's never been super packed when we've been there so hope it gets busier on weekends. They deserve to survive!

Inside looks exactly the same as when it was the prior place. There are added plastic green and red ribbons to give it a look of a Mexican place is about all. We ordered tacos Mexicano with chicken, added onions and jalapeños on the side, chicken taquitos, fresh guacamole, chips and spicy salsa too. $51.93. Chips and salsa isn't complimentary here. A bit unexpected, being that they claim to be a Mexican restaurant. I usually expect to pay for chips and salsa at a Mexican fusion place, but not a full fledged Mexican restaurant. Their chips are slightly seasoned here as well, it's not bad. It's not too busy in here. 4 people at the bar and about 2 other tables with guests inside and one table out on the patio. Not super busy and a bit out of the downtown area. As expected the guacamole tastes decent, it's only about one table spoon deep though, not too surprised. Their spicy salsa has good heat. Their chicken taquitos are interesting, the rolled tortilla has a flour texture and consistency of flour for us both. The menu states they are corn. Hmm. Not the same texture as we would have expected is all. The tacos Mexicanos aren't too bad. The chicken is seasoned here. Their beans and rice are bland and rather blah. The beans don't taste like they are made here.

The food here was amazing. Worth the price and loved the veggie options! Get the fresh guacamole as an appetizer it was fantastic. I had the spicy paloma as a cocktail and it was incredible. Very refreshing! The food was authentic and service was great. I will be back!

Had lunch here; it was just okay. Went with a friend and spent over $66 before tip for two dishes and two drinks. For a lunch meal, I thought this was a bit pricey.I had a fajitas and they certainly came out of the kitchen hot but I found the chicken to be a bit rubbery. My House Margarita definitely had a good amount of alcohol but I wasn't sure what else was in it. It was a bit one note in that sense. It needed more sweet or sour elements to offset it. I'd like to see this place have some cheaper lunch options. Also, the House Margarita was pretty big. I'm no light weight but I did feel that drink. Maybe some lunch drink specials that go a bit easier on the booze.

I have been to Cantarito's several times, just haven't written a review until now. This is my favorite restaurant in all of Royal Oak. Always Great Service, Always Great Food. This time my friend and I had Rosie as a waitress, she was friendly, and she got everything on our order right. We had the Fresh Guacamole, The Chicken Tortilla soup, and both were Delicious!My friend had Taco's, and I tried the Burrito Jalisco. We both enjoyed our food, and took home half of our lunch. Its so rare when a restaurant is consistently good, Cantarito's is!

My daughter and I went for lunch there. The food and service great. The decor is nice and the music was great also. I plan on going back for dinner and to enjoy the music and food again. I will recommend this place to family and friends.
