The salmon eggs benedict was really good, but the triple bogey was disappointing with a small piece of bacon, sausage, two eggs, and a pancake for over 12 dolla...

"Good standard doughnuts. Crullers only available Fri-Sun. Price for dozen increased to $14 for plain and $24 for fancy but half a dozen available for half the price plus a $1 or so more. Free donut holes in each box is a nice surprise."

"Wow! What a fantastic dinner. Had the special salad with cantaloupe, feta, walnuts and figs great taste. The lobster ravioli was the best I ever had. Finished with a homemade Cannoli light as a feather and filled with creamy delicacies. A five-star experience! We'll be back."

"The tacos are delicious: beautiful flavors. Always a hit. The one miss: the Churro Chimichanga no flavor. My worry was itd be too sweet/ sugary, but it was bland. Doesn't taste like a churro at all. Very disappointed"

"Every year when we visit Monterey, THIS is the ALL-VEGAN place we ALWAYS look forward to eating at. As a vegan family, this place is no joke! El Cantaro is the best!!! Clean, beautiful, facilities. Friendly and accommodating staff. Delicious vegan food served consistently. The steak fajitas were smoky and flavorful. I recommend getting a couple extra tortillas with a side of guacamole to share."

"Food quality is good, fresh seafood for any taste. The place is busy and crowded, no outdoor sitting, no social distancing, no single person in mask. Servers are with character, don't listen what you want, but insisting on ordering what they offer."
