“ Me and the family were visiting from out of town to see the football game. We found this location on Google Maps. It has limited parking. I ordered the 3 taco plate. The meat was seasoned perfectly the meat was very tender. The beans were creamy. The family really enjoyed their plates as well. Next time we are in town, we are definitely going to stop and have another great meal. I would totally recommend El Charrito ”

“ The food here was great. Our waitress was very nice. My boyfriend are white menudo - very good! I ate a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. The rice was ok, but beans were good and the red sauce for the enchilada was fantastic! Also the salsa for the chips was really good too! ”
“ First I'm white not Mexican like a previous reviewer complained about lack of service due to Blanco skin color rediculas. Ok back to positive vibes, I'm a Glendale resident and have been eating here for years , the best place in town for menudo. The service is phenomenal! And the food is great. I highly recommend everything on the menu, especially their menudo, and a cold red beer at 9am After a good night of spiritual, liquors and friends, nothing like going in and having the cure-all of soups. Please keep up the great work. I love to spend my hard-earned money locally on great quality service and food. Amen. ”
“ Food was delicious. A little dark inside. Great service ”
“ Don't judge a book by its cover! The exterior of this restaurant may look unremarkable, but once you're inside you'll find a hidden gem. The food was authentic and delicious. The mango margarita was the best ever, it was made from real mangoes and not a mix. The fish was moist and flavorful and the fajitas were tasty also. On top of that, the portions were big and the prices were very reasonable. We are looking forward to going back! ”
