Small, family-owned. Vibrant decor. Lots of menu choices. Selected the mole enchiladas. They did not disappoint. Portions were substantial, flavors on target. Salsa has a mild kick. Service attentive. read more

Charrito's House - Small but vibrant. - Mexican Near Me - Larkspur, Colorado

À family business run by a couple who care: Always friendly and welcoming with fun décor and delicious food. Margaritas also especially good. We're so Lucky to have it in our Larkspur neighborhood, but it is worth the trip down from Castle Rock or over from Palmer Lake. read more

Overall: 8/10 Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Value: 7/10 We love this place. It's local to us and we're here all the time. The food is great and the service is friendly and helpful. My personal favorites are the Plato Loco ($$$) and the three item combo ($$). Their margs are awesome and plentiful as well. Stop on if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Food is always amazing! Birra tacos are always fantastic! My son loves the seafood enchiladas!

This place was recommended by a friend and definitely a drive from where I live so if you're nearby, I do suggest to go by as a family owned restaurant. The vibe is beautiful, and the food was delicious along with my beverage. They say the mocajete was where to go so that's what I had. It did not disappoint, but I can't say it was the best. That's just a preference. overall, an amazing restaurant. read more

Continuing our search for anything resembling good Mexican or TexMex, we ventured south of the border (the Castle Rock border, that is) to Larkspur. A few different people had recommended Charrito's House, so we gave it a try. The 3.5 star average is pretty accurate. First, the little house and somewhat dated, rustic setting is kind of neat. We were greeted and seated promptly. The menu is huge, and a lot looks good. I ordered the combination fajitas, and my daughter had the shredded beef enchiladas. Chips and salsa are both quite good. Salsa has a nice flavor with a bit of a bite at the end. Be aware, the first bowl of chips is free. After that, they'll charge $2.50/bowl and not tell you unless you ask. We saw that in the menu, but they're pretty quick to ask if you want more chips (of course we do, but not if we're paying for them). Food came out after a bit of a wait, but nothing too long. Unlike most other places, the fajitas were actually sizzling, so that's something. There wasn't a ton of meat, and what was there was kind of scrawny; however, both the steak and chicken had good taste, and combined with the peppers, onions, homemade Guac, condiments, and rice and beans (which were both fine), I had plenty of food. Of course, I took a pic of the sides but somehow forgot the fajitas. How did I do that?!? They'll also charge for substitutions. Even though I held the sour cream and other things, they charged $1.50 for an extra dollop of Guac. My daughter thought the enchiladas were ok. Not the best or worst she's ever had. I'm guessing she'd try something else if we decide to come back. We split an order of sopapillas for dessert. They were cooked perfectly and had great flavor, other than the strong amount of salt. Not sure if something was messed up in the batter or what should've been sugar and cinnamon, but they were quite salty. I guess mixed with the other flavors and honey, it wasn't THAT bad. We did eat them after all. Service was ok. Definitely not rushed. We had to ask for refills a few times, but overall, it was fine. So in the end, another 3.5 star experience. I'd come back if we were in Larkspur and hungry, but we probably wouldn't rush back down from Castle Rock with so many other options nearby. read more

A short drive from Jellystone Larkspur where we were visiting friends. The four kids enjoyed it too. Service was excellent.

Great authentic Mexican food!! And awesome margaritas!! A local favorite! The owners are super friendly and welcoming!

The food is ok......however, they charged an uplift on my egg dish, and there was no mention of it during the order process. I was told that the uplift was for the eggs serviced. If you are going to charge more, you have to alert the customer.......I may have picked something else. Not sure I will return. read more

Call first even though hours are posted they may be closed. We have done take out and dine in. The food is authentic Mexican and many love the taste! I am a bit skeptical of the environment and cleanliness of what "we can't see"...I have not felt well following a couple of meals. read more

The inside is cute and fun. Lots of great things to look at. The people here are pleasant and nice. The food was really authentic and was delicious. Great place for a relaxed dinner. Love it. read more

The food is fabulous! My family is vegetarian and I am vegan. They were EASILY able to take care of us and feed us according to our dietary needs. (They do not use lard, either.) We were served quickly and the server was very responsive and attentive. She made us feel like we were family. The ambience is nice, with Mexican-American restaurant decor. I wish I had found them earlier. I kept driving past when I would go home and I'd look at Charritos, thinking it "was a really small restaurant that would take forever to be served". I was so wrong!! The size is much bigger than you would imagine! The ambiance is wonderful, the service is great, and the food is fantastic! don't hesitate, try them out! read more

Really good food, the carnitas are amazing. The cost is reasonable, the drinks are creative. The restaurant is clean and the servers are friendly. My tweens like eating here, fun little place for low key dining out. We give Charrito's 4.5 out of 5 read more

The food was delicious and served in a very appealing way. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. It has a nice deck that will be wonderful as the weather gets warmer will definitely be back. read more

Stopped in for Breakfast Burrito. Greeted with a smile. A quiet unassuming place. Sat inside on this windy Saturday morning, but there looks to be ample.outdoor seating. They bought me chips & Salsa, while i waited for my Burrito. It came out and was awesome..Added bonus, they rent Kayaks for the little lake across the street!! read more

Excellent food in a cozy little restaurant. If you're driving through larkspur, don't miss it! Super friendly service and staff as well.

Friendly people, great food, great atmosphere. We love this place and go here every chance we get!

The food was decent, but they were out of several items that we tried to order. In addition, the service was very slow. I would still come again; my party and I had a nice time here. This is a family-owned place and very authentic. read more

This is my third time here but first time to review. We started the day hiking about 7 miles over at Spruce Mountain Open Space and decided we deserved some Mexican food! I love their mole enchiladas and my husband got the Mexico burrito. We sat out on the patio with our dog. It was nice and shady with a breeze. I would hike 7 miles again for this good food! read more

The food was excellent. The Margaritas are good. The salsa is hot. The staff is friendly. What more could you ask for? My dad thought the mole could be thicker, but he can write his own review! Lol. Will visit this place again if I'm in the area. read more

We had a delicious lunch here today. Service was great. Food was outstanding. It's not easy for vegans around here, but their vegetable burrito was perfect. Guacamole was fresh and delicious. Even got to watch the Bears get beat.... Check them out if you haven't already. read more

I give this place 5 stars because the customer servers was good. Our food was BOMB!! We're from San Diego and the tacos were better then some Mexican restaurants in SD. It's such a random spot. We'll fur sure come back. The 3.5 stars threw me off but it's solid Mexican food. read more

We live part-time in the southern part of the California Sur of Mexico. Charrito's House is the BEST Mexican food we have found in the entire area of Denver. The service is always very good, especially tonight... only one person working the entire dining room and we had outstanding service for a busy night. Everything was written down, not one thing missed. They just did a little change in some of the furnishings which we love. The ambiance is as always nice, but the upgrades are wonderful to see. We highly recommend. One of our favorite restaurants for the last 3 years. read more

Amazing quality Mexican food located in the quaint mountain like town. Amazing service & quality taste.

I wish these guys could get their act together. The first time I tried to order food there, it was 7pm - I was hungry and coming home from work and wanted take-out. They close at 8pm. I called in to order and the woman who answered the phone said they were closed. When I questioned it saying your closing time online says 8 pm, she said, "We close when we close". At that point I figured I just wouldn't try again. Fast forward to last night (Cinco de Mayo 2020) - I thought, okay I'll give them another try. I called in my order at 7pm and they said it would be 45 minutes. No problem. I got there 45 minutes later and there were around 10 cars in the queue, understandable since it was Cinco de Mayo. I was the last car. I waited for 20 minutes and ONE car pulled forward - ONE!!! And that car pulled around to the front of the restaurant - I assume because their food was not ready, or there was a problem with their order?? I waited for another 5 minutes and decided that it could be another hour (or more) before I finally would get to the drive through and decided to leave without my food (the restaurant doors were locked and I saw two employees inside who were not answering the phone). The owners should consider learning how to run a restaurant. This "customer service" is unacceptable, but I doubt they care or even read these reviews. read more

Charrito's House - The queue I never got through - Mexican Near Me - Larkspur, Colorado

I've come through here three time to eat because I've heard great things, they are never open, I'm Not sure if I'm just unlucky but I had called and checked their website and both said open, got there at 5 and they're closed. It says they close at 9. read more

Had breakfast here a few times . Great omlette. They offer poached eggs Benedict --- an elegant find at a small town cafe . The bacon is thick & choice . The server even asked if I preferred " crispy or soft" -- how nice! Also fresh soup changes daily and the 2 I tried were delicious. A nice place to do wi-fi & just hang out solo . Nice & quaint enough for " girls lunch"or to bring your Mom . The servers have been friendly , food delivered quickly . Things seems clean & tidy. The fact that I have shown up to locked doors, at odd hours,and there isn't a posted menu online ,for to-go orders ,makes me almost reserve 1 star. However ,,, lets all support a breakfast place this good in Larkspur ! read more

Good food and the service was good. The water is horrible and sodas are $5. I thought the sombreros that are made into lights was so creative. read more

Not dog friendly, considering there are so many restaurants with outside seating that allow dogs. They also don't support delivery orders. We tried twice, via two different modes to give them our business. I guess they are doing fine without. read more

Reliably good food. Good service and great drinks. We stop in often with the whole family. Best Mexican food around. Definitely recommend.

I've given this place three chances over a period of several months and the food had gotten progressively worse. Not quite sure how they're still in business. This is the only "Mexican Food" location within several miles, so perhaps this is what the local community thinks Mexican food is. Do not recommend. read more

Love the service and food. The Mole is so good. The nachos are the perfect snack. Enchiladas are my favorite.

I live in the area and these guys always have hit the mark of producing awesome food. My whole family are super excited every time we goto or order Charito's. Great food!! You won't be disappointed read more
