The waitresses are rude, the food is terrible, and the restrooms are way too dim. I can’t believe this place has a 4.4 stars. As a Mexican, who grew up with Mexican food, this place doesn’t represent authentic cuisine. Made a stop here to kill time and ordered an appetizer, how can they screw up carne asada NACHOS!?! Oh yeah, by providing old dry meat.

Food was good. Service was fast for a big group (12), but a bit impatient during the order collection. A local friend of mine frequents this place often and knows the owner and says she is always that way. Price was very reasonable: $200 (remember, 12 people). Interior is a bit dated and warn.

The food here is pretty darn good. The flan was the best I’ve ever had. Drinks are very strong and delicious. The coffees are hard to find usually, so the fact that they had a selection on their menu meant a lot to me. I actually went 2 days in a row to not feel like a fatty, ordering everything I wanted in one visit. The chips, beans, and salsa off the bat is always a nice welcome. Highly recommend it. The Cadillac margaritas are .

Always great, fast and friendly service! The only complaint I ever have is that my youngest child (now 7) always burns her hands on the hot plates. Not exactly blaming them, it would help the situation if they said hot plate and put it away from younger kids.

Not what they used to be. I asked for ice tea. I got brown water, no ice, and dropped it on the table in a rush. Our food did come quick, and although the plates were hot, the enchiladas and tamales were room temp at best. The beans and salsa lost their flavor. Maybe a new cook? New servers? Just out of sorts.

I’m surprised I haven’t written something about this place before, since it has such good food and drinks. We actually measure the food we find elsewhere with this one!

This is a real treat of a restaurant out here in Molalla. I would have to say this is one of the better Mexican restaurants I’ve had the privilege of experiencing.

I eat a lot of Mexican food but normally don’t review them because I feel like they are all so similar that it’s not worth the time. However, I do like reviewing the really good ones and the really bad ones. El Charrito is a really good one. The restaurant is small and old. It seemed slightly under-cared for at first but as I sat and watched I witnessed the staff cleaning meticulously the entire time I was there. The staff were polite, but non-intrusive. I didn’t feel bothered nor did I feel like they needed to swing by more. Now for the food. Goodness gracious. It was simple and delicious. I ordered the Pollo a la Plancha. I’m a black beans not refried beans type of guy. I don’t know what they did to their black beans but they were fantastic. The chicken breast was butterflied and grilled; so tasty and not dry. The chicken came with sauteed tomatoes and onions that were tasty and not greasy like most restaurants I’ve had similar dishes at. I asked for a fresh, sliced jalapeno which the maitre d brought me. It was nice and spicy. I ate every bite, which I don’t normally do, and wish there would have been more even though my stomach didn’t agree. Needless to say, I would definitely recommend El Charrito and I can’t wait to go back.
