This is a Mexican food truck, but it is tucked away behind the cannabis store. You could see it as your zooming down the highway but today I remembered it. After I got off work I had a hankering for some real homemade taquitos. They have them and they are very good. They are made fresh right there. They also come with rice and beans a little bit of their homemade guacamole and some sour cream. They have a lot on their menu. Growing up in Los Angeles and also living in Ensenada I crave to have real Mexican food, which is hard to find around here on Whidbey Island. Especially on the south end. So I’m happy I stopped and tried them and now I won’t forget that they’re there.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars! - My New Favorite Taco Spot in Freeland! Okay, so picture this: you've just popped into the dispensary next door (no judgment here, we've all been there!)... and suddenly, you've got the munchies like woah. Well, good news, because literally right next door is Taqueria Los Cantaritos, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! This food truck serves up some seriously delicious Mexican food. Every bite is packed with authentic flavor. But the real star for me has to be the shredded beef – it's absolutely exceptional! Tender, flavorful, and just perfectly seasoned. Whether you're hitting up the dispensary or just looking for an incredible meal in Freeland, you absolutely HAVE to check out Taqueria Los Cantaritos. You won't be disappointed! P.S. no pictures cause as soon as I smelled it I ate it all in one swift motion. It was involuntary.

This place is consistently fast and delicious. I picked up a veggie burrito today for my vegetarian house mate and it received a rave review from her. I’ve had their carne asada fries and they were immaculate. I definitely plan to go back again soon, and I recommend Taqueria Los Cantaritos to all looking for a good spot to eat on the south end of Whidbey Island.
