As a food blogger always on the hunt for authentic flavors, I recently visited Los Cantaritos Cantina in Garfield, New Jersey. This family-owned restaurant, an extension of their successful Passaic location, brings the heart of Mexico to Bergen County with its vibrant atmosphere and traditional recipes.
A Taste of Mexico in Every Bite
Los Cantaritos Cantina offers a menu rich in authentic Mexican dishes. From the savory quesatacos filled with tender birria and melted Oaxaca cheese to the hearty Cantarito Molcajete, a sizzling combination of steak, chicken, chorizo, and shrimp served in a traditional stone bowl, there's something to satisfy every craving.
For those seeking lighter fare, the elotesgr illed corn topped with mayo, cotija cheese, and tajin provide a delightful start. The flautas, crispy rolled tacos filled with cheese or chicken and topped with sour cream and cotija, are equally impressive.
Signature Drinks to Complement Your Meal
No visit is complete without trying their namesake Cantarito cocktail. This refreshing drink, served in a traditional clay pot, combines tequila with citrus juices and a splash of grapefruit soda, offering a perfect balance to the rich flavors of the food
A Warm and Inviting Atmosphere
The cantina's ambiance is both festive and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for family dinners, casual outings, or special celebrations. The staff's hospitality enhances the dining experience, ensuring every guest feels at home.
