**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag of Culinary Experiences** Nestled in a convenient location with ample parking, this restaurant has garnered a loyal following over the years. While recent visits have revealed a dip in consistency, with some finding dishes like chicken enchiladas bland, others are captivated by the robust flavors, especially the crispy chimichanga. Service is often praised, though the atmosphere suffers from a dim interior and an uninviting entrance. Despite these drawbacks, many patrons rave about the delightful complimentary chips and salsa, making it a recommended spot for casual dining or happy hours. Overall, the quality of food seems to keep diners coming back.

Was charlotte M at El Charrito a mag?
The food is outstanding, and the service is quite good as well. However, the atmosphere was a bit too dark for my liking. One downside was the door, which is just a piece of plywood, giving the place an abandoned feel, especially in conjunction with the dim interior. They do have an open sign, but it's not very bright. If I hadn't been meeting friends there, I might have driven away because it really looked closed, p... View all feedback.

What Teresa Fernandez dislikes about El Charrito:
We ordered chicken enchiladas and it was very very bland. Refried beans were okay, rice a bit bland also. We were disappointed because we've been coming here for many years, but this time food just was not good. Parking: Many spaces, parking not an issue. Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome.

We visited this restaurant on a Thursday afternoon, and although it was empty when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by how incredible the food was. They provide complimentary chips and salsa at the table, and the green salsa was so delicious that I wished I could take some home. Our server was also very attentive and accommodating. I will definitely return to this place in the future.
