El Charrito - San Carlos

Really wanted to like this place, all the guys were really nice, the atmosphere felt right. Good salsa bar, red is the more spicy but not really spicy at all. The green is not spicy but it has a nice fresh tangy taste. Free chips. Ordered Super Nachos, Super Burritos, one wet . All of them had AL Pastor meat. It was recommended by the cashier, unfortunately the meat was all dry and tuff. I think it was the leftover from the day before. Not sure if we ordered the wrong thing but I feel like we wasted a meal here.

The best fish tacos I had in California outside San Diego.

Great little restaurant rocking your classic Mexican favorites. Food comes out fast, cooked well and perfectly seasoned. It's not clean eating and every table has a full stock of napkins for you to work down. There's a sauce and chip bar on the side, next to the restroom. Seating is limited, so try to keep groups small. Loved their tripe tacos

I've came to El Charrito a couple times now, and everything has been amazing! I had their wet burrito and torta, and both were delicious. They also have a good selection of breakfast as well. The employees are all very friendly and serve your meal in no time. I highly recommend checking out El Charrito!

Carnitas was my favorite dish. The Al Pastor is tasty, but if you don't enjoy very spicy flavors, I recommend asking for it without the standard red sauce. There's a menu item available only on weekends that is quite large, but I found it a bit bland and wouldn't order it again. They have been in business for decades, which is impressive. However, the storefront can easily be overlooked if you're not specifically searching for it. Also, the restroom for customers is quite small.
