El Cantinero is the kind of small restaurant you come to when you want a bite of Mexican food. It focuses on classic things such as tacos and burritos. The portions are real and the seasonings are quite correct-it's not the kind of American-Mexican food that has been improved to no end. The atmosphere in the store is casual, which is suitable for eating casually after work, or chatting with friends over margarita on weekends. If you want a mindless and pyrotechnic meal in the United States, this is a safe choice.
