Truly enjoyed this restaurant. So many options to choose from. Glad this place exists in the greater Sacramento area.

Nom nom! - Edit
Great variety on the all vegan menu. I had the bean and cheese burrito and enchiladas (not at the same time, as much as I would have liked to! 🤣 Lunch and dinner. The enchiladas and side of rice and beans were very flavorful and oh so good!! I’m looking forward to returning next month when I am there again!

This place is my go to for Mexican food - Edit
I love this place! The potato tacos are the bomb. The ‘beef’ and chkn is so perfectly seasoned. I always get the fries too as they are homestyle, thick and salted just right.

Best Mexican food ever! - Edit
I first discovered El Cantaro in Monterey, so was stoked to learn about this newer location in Sac! This is a fully vegan Mexican restaurant with both veggie and mock meat options. My go to is the spinach enchiladas with xmas sauce - so tasty and perfect meal size with the side of rice and beans they come with. Friendly for gluten-free folks, too.

Homemade tortillas & surprisingly busy - Edit
Very busy on a Sunday afternoon, so delicious! Mushroom taco was exceptionally good and the quesadilla was just the right amount of spicy

Easily my favorite spot in Sacramento! - Edit
I’ve been a longtime regular at this place and implore anyone who craves an authentic taqueria experience to give El Cantaro a chance! The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. #Veganuary

Absolutely Perfect - Edit
They have a huge menu and everything I've tried as blown my mind! I love the steak torta, the crispy potato tacos, and the burritos that I've tried. If I lived closer I would come here an absurd amount of times. Highly recommend!

Outstanding food - Edit
Incredible vegan taqueria! Instead of hitting the road early for our 6 hour drive back home, we stayed later at our Airbnb just to try this highly recommended place when they opened at 11am. WORTH IT! My husband has been craving birria since we went vegan earlier this year, and the quesabirria burrito was outstanding. I got the chile relleno plate which was also fantastic. Got the corn tortillas that come with it, they're made fresh in house and SO good! And both dishes were a lot of food. Very filling. We're gonna plan another Sacramento trip just to eat here again.

This is my new favorite restaurant possibly in the world. 🙋♀️ The Chile rellano platter was on point! The horchata is to die for. The flavors in everything was perfection! My husband got the birria burrito and it was fantastic. Everything was perfect and I can't wait to go again! I cannot recommend this place enough!!!!!

This place blew me away - Edit
Oh my gosh! I couldn't really decide what I wanted so I went with their combo and my goodness! The portions were great, food quality amazing and I can't believe I haven't been here before! I have an onion allergy so most places are a bit of a headache and even when I say ALLERGY** it constantly gets covered in onions. HOWEVER this place, not a single little cutting of onion was found. They were so detailed and fast and accurate I cannot hype this place enough!!

Tacos! Tacos! Tacos! - Edit
Simply put, this is the best vegan Mexican food in the Sacramento area.
Read moreI've tried most things on the menu and while all delicious, I am a huge fan of their tacos and keep coming back for more.
Yes, it's on the pricey side. Yes, it's tucked back in the corner of a strip mall in Rosemont. But when you have those tacos you'll forget all about that.
Pro tip: You can mix and match the "crunchy tacos" if you can't decide on just one filling.

I’ve never tried the tacos because I’m so obsessed with other things there lol. I’ll have to try the tacos one day though.

So many options! - Edit
I’ve gone here a few times and really enjoyed the food. The “carne asada” is probably my favorite option. The birria burrito was fantastic. I wasn’t so impressed with the fish burrito. If you’re looking for something savory and filling, the birria tacos or burritos are my recommendation!

Great As Ever - Edit
We are very familiar with their location in Monterey and recently got the opportunity to try their Sacramento location. Delicious as expected! We arrived fairly soon after opening and we're greeted by friendly staff. Our food came out quickly and was as tasty as the Monterey location. It's really wonderful to finally have a vegan Mexican restaurant within regular reach! No complaints!

Best all vegan Mexican ever! - Edit
If y'all haven't been here yet, run! Don't walk-like legit run yo ass over there! This is the sister location of the famous South Bay based restaurant. They need and deserve all the support they can get. All vegan! A few GF items available. A large variety of super delicious Mexican-American traditional food veganized! They have mock meats, sub cheezes, jackfruit, and maybe some day they'll use hearts of palm. Customer service is friendly, helpful and they are humbled by compliments. All they need is more decorations on the walls in the dining area like they do in the hallway, and some traditional Mexican music (I was hoping for the full taqueria vibe) and they'll be all set! Hope they stay open’
Read morePros: Variety on the menu, So delicious!, All vegan!!!!
Cons: Lacks the taqueria feel, Some complain @ hours but I respect all religion…, …even though I am not religious myself
