      The food here is consistently outstanding, our Server Danny was friendly and very helpful. As was our last experience with our server Adriana. The whole crew is a positive light and added to the dining experience. Highly recommend!
      Thanks!

      I got takeout from Los Cantaros and it was just okay.

      The california surf and turf burrito was very dry and lacking of flavor. However, the shrimp was cooked perfectly though.

      The steak and eggs burrito was tasty but quite spicy. It would've been nice to have a mild option. Spicy lovers should definitely order it! I enjoyed how the runny egg made it saucy.

      It's cool that they sell fries, but they weren't that great (but l attribute that to us doing takeout).

      They also have churros con cajeta (filled with caramel). It was a little dense, but the caramel was the saving grace.

      Perhaps Los Contaros would be a better experience when dining in, so I may need to give it another shot some other time.

      Still good still making fresh food they've added some specials to their menu. Service is good overall, this place has excellent food. It's always fresh, everything is homemade nothing out of a can. The fresh fruit drinks are amazing, particularly strawberry lemonade, and the honeydew pineapple, as well, the Horchata. The food is so flavorful and well seasoned , perfect amount of spice, salt, and seasoning. They also have amazing desserts
      churros 5/5
      Flan 5/5
      Rice pudding 5/5

      Los Cantaros is a San Leandro favorite! Their food is consistently delicious, affordable and prompt. We've used them for catering events and a quick burrito fix and they never disappoint. The breakfast burritos and Cali Surf & Turf are a must try with the *hot* orange sauce - delicioso!

      I got four steak, "Mexican City" tacos. Good price at $2.50 each. Friendly service and fresh ingredients.
      They have a parking lot which makes parking easy.

      We've came to this place a couple times now. I don't think they are that good.. they have a large option of items. From steak and shrimp burritos to salmon burritos, mole, fajitas, salads. If you ask me. They have too many options so all that says to me is the food is just being made and not really cooked with that love so flavor just isn't there. Lady at the front is nice and rereads the order. Second time we came she even walked out to door to call us from our car to let us know food was ready! Which was nice but she didn't bring our food all the way to car which I think woulda just made sense but maybe it was in case we wanted salsa or something? Or another customer could've been inside and she didn't wanna leave register unattended. So I completely understand! Nice of her to even come to door to call us.

      This place just wasn't to my liking. I wouldn't recommend or ce back.

      Highly recommend this place; at the risk of it becoming crowded. It doesn't look like much from the outside but they have a specials menu that offers unique and creative options. The food is fresh, tastes freshly made with good, quality, ingredients. It's like eating a family's house who has a family member who knows how to cook traditional food authentically. The staff is super nice and the cook is friendly. I see lots of people picking up to-go orders, seem like regulars because they know what to order. It's a hidden gem in San Leandro.

      Ordered a super burrito (with tomato tortilla), and extra chips and guacamole. Unfortunately I got pico instead of guac, but that fine (thus the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars).
      The burrito isn't as large as other taquerias, but to me, that is great because I do not want to feel compelled to overeat and finish the entire thing. The order already comes with a small bag of chips and salsa, which I did enjoy. If you eat there, I believe you can get more.

      From lower left to upper right: Extra side of pico, small bag of chips (delish), super burrito with carne asada and a tomato tortilla wrap

      We've eaten here and ordered to go several times over the last few years and it's gotten progressively worse. Our last order is the last order for us. Ordered two burritos, a Chilli Relleno and Carnitas, both should have never been served to humans. Rancid chilli, slimy pork and stale chips. Who cuts up the fat from the pork skin and puts that in a burrito barely cooked? Who cooks a rotten chilli and passes that off as food because they can hide it inside a tortilla? Los Cantaros, that's who.

      Never again.
