I'd consider Cantaritos a traditional Mexican food experience. Which means there's only one way to judge how well the meal is gonna go... The salsa can make or break it! In this case, the salsa definitely adds to this establishment. So many bold and unexpected flavors took the salsa to a new realm... The guacamole didn't have as many bold flavors but what stood out was the portion size and freshness.
The food in general came out fresh and piping hot. The plating was pleasing to all senses and I was very happy with the portion size. Prices were very reasonable.
Of course, a meal is only really part of the experience. The service was really what stood out to me. Thank you to our awesome waitress who helped us customize and make vegetarian dishes.
As far as ambiance goes, you really couldn't ask for more. Big spacious area that was great for our family.
Will definitely be back!!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Narayan C.South Lake Tahoe, CA2219Apr 2, 2024

Service needs improvement!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 7, 2024
We did takeout here recently and food was good. When they say super burrito, they aren't joking. It's at least double the size of any burrito. If you get it "wet", they top it with enchilada sauce and cheese. So how was it? It was delicious -- filled with rice and meats.
The fish and shrimp tacos were good, but not the best I've had. On the plus side, the tacos were a good size and came with double tortillas. However the shrimps were pretty tiny in the shrimp taco, and it was mostly filled with lettuce. It was like eating a salad with a bite of shrimp every 2-3 bites. The fish taco was better, but I didn't see a fried fish taco on the menu. This one was grilled, and not bad, but when I have a fish taco, I need it fried. Overall, the tacos weren't bad, but I've had better.
This is a nice family friendly place with decent food, especially if you have a large appetite.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - noah a.Fremont, CA118341Apr 28, 2024
Wasn't thrilled about having a dog eating with a party at an outside table. They were allowing it all over the table and what not licking everything. But as we were leaving this Saturday 4/27 a group came in with a fluffy white dog and they sat them inside close to where we had been. Folks this was clearly a pet and not an ADA animal in any shape or form, violating health code. I fault entitled customers and restaurant equally here.
Other than that food was decent, drinks strong. One order came out wrong but was corrected. Water I think forgot about us and we waited 20+min to pay bill, ok since we were not in a rushHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jan 31, 2024
Unexpected stop over on the way to San Jose. Located in a small strip mall in Fremont, it was inconspicuous. You wouldn't really notice it much. You wouldn't even notice the neon sign on the window as you'll be fixated on the sign outside that simply just say "Mexican". We knew it would be authentic having seen Hispanics dining inside. We ordered the super taco and the meat fries. I'd say the portions are generous. The food was tasty and the service was great!

Went for Fremont Restaurant Week Lunch
Food - 5/5. The cantaritos platter showcased a plethora of the restaurant's options! Shrimps were a beautiful golden brown with tender meat. The taquitos had a great crunch and plenty of filling. Quesadillas were my favorite as the tortilla was toasted just enough for nice texture, cheese was melted and the chicken was delicious. Fresh guacamole made for great dip, along with the sour cream for extra creaminess and the chipotle aioli for a little heat. Tacos were loaded with meat and the spicy salsa gave plenty of flavor. Tortilla chips were fresh with a nice crisp and the horchata was sweet & creamy.
Service - 4/5. Very friendly and courteous.
Value - 5/5. During restaurant week, the combo of a cantaritos platter and a horchata was only $22, an amazing deal! I'm not sure if the platter is offered on the regular menu but the flavor, variety and portion sizes were top notch. Excellent location!

Third time coming and this place is just consistently good. Friendly service, willing to accommodate substitutions, and great-tasting food.
Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0May 10, 2023Previous reviewCantaritos has pretty standard Mexican fare, but they do it well. We came in on a Saturday night with a party of six and no reservation, and they had us seated within five minutes. The highlights were the chimichanga ($13), chile relleno ($8), veggie enchiladas ($17), which all came in generous portions. Would definitely put this in the rotation of go-to local Mexican spots.

Super friendly staff. The drinks are amazing and they have fun deals (Taco Tuesday, something with the margaritas on Wednesdays). I love the chicken and fish tacos. It's a great place to go for any occasion.

Delicious Mexican food! This quality restaurant been here for decades! I ordered the chicken mole enchiladas and loved it! The complimentary chips and salsa are a large portion. I ordered Guac , which was good but not needed. Lunch specials are offered and they know how to make drinks .
