Description

El Charrito in Gallup offers a mixed experience. Many praise its authentic Mexican dishes like rolled enchiladas, Menudo, Birria Ramen, and perfectly prepared Chile Relleno, highlighting fresh salsa and flavorful sauces considered among the best in the Southwest. Friendly, attentive staff enhance the dining experience, making it a local favorite. However, some guests report disappointing service, overpriced extras, and inconsistent side dishes. Issues such as automatic gratuity charges, minimal salsa portions, and cold dining areas have also been noted. Overall, while El Charrito delivers standout traditional flavors, service and value may vary, inviting diners to weigh preferences carefully.

Was passing by on our way out to Colorado and decided to stop and eat here, this was BY FAR the best restaurant we have tried in a while. The birria tacos were so good, the service was amazing and I was amazed how fast they brought our food out to us. If I am ever back in Gallup, I’m definitely stopping here. The only negative thing I have to say is Colorado has the best chili, not New Mexico haha Service: Dine in
