    Tacos De Birria
    Elsie C.

    Ambiance is nice... the decor is very pretty and theres a great view of the NYC skyline. Service was Okayyyy. My food took forever to come. By the time it arrived, I ate alone. The rest of my group finished. Waitress was nice and friendly. I got the Birria tacos... not great. Super oily and fatty. I couldn't eat them. I was too grossed out and knew I'd be suffering with heartburn later. It's unfortunate that a place with great location, view, and staff has sucky food.

    Small Mexican restaurant in Weehawken. Food was better than I expected. The table side guacamole was delicious. The birria tacos were decent. Not as flavorful and some other places I've tried.

    I don't understand why the rating of this place isn't 4+ stars. I have been going to Charrito's for years and each time it has been amazing. The food is great, the drinks are out of this world, the ambiance is top notch, and the view is spectacular. It can get quite busy on the weekends, especially in the summer...but isn't that the case everywhere nice? Come early. Get the table side guacamole, try a couple of margaritas, and try a new dish each visit. This place should be celebrated.

    Ordered 2 taco dishes and a side of guacamole and chips. The steak tacos were good, but the birria tacos were a bit on the soggier side. The winner of the show was the freshly made guacamole dip! They bring all the ingredients to your table and start mashing the avocado and mixing in the seasoning to your taste! The restaurant is above a cliff and the views of Manhattan are incredible! Even though we dined outside on a very hot day, the shade and breeze kept us very comfortable. If you have a car, know that valet parking is $10. There is also nearby street parking.

    I have been a customer of Charritos for so long, it's time for a review. I've been to the Weehawken and Hoboken location. The Hoboken location is irrelevant since it is no longer open but I have always preferred the Weehawken location. To start off, they have the best real estate on Boulevard East. Absolutely nothing else compares to that view and no other restaurant on the boulevard can say they have a similar view (Riverroad is a different conversation). If you go, try to go during sunset. Trust me :) We arrived around 8PM and waited around 30 minutes for a table outside. Could have been sat down immediately but we were set on being outside, despite the spotted lantern fly issue. One of them hopped on my friend but that is not the restaurant's fault. It's a new reality the locals gotta deal with when being on the blvd. Thankfully, one did not hop in the food or drinks. Immediately upon sitting, we ordered a Passionfruit Mojito Pitcher. This was not on the menu, it used to be, but they still make it for me when I go (thank you sm). There were three of us and the pitcher gave us approximately 2 drinks each. For appetizer, we ordered el Queso Fundido. I couldn't geg a photo because we devoured that thing. It is a bit oily, but oh so yummy. For mains, we ordered Enchiladas Norteñas with chicken and green sauce, Shrimp Tacos, and Al Pastor Tacos. I am biased when it comes to the enchiladas, they are my go to. So delicious! The green sauce is not spicy but it really makes the dish for me. The tacos al pastor had a good amount of meat, but wish they came with a bit more onion and pineapple. We ordered green sauce on the side but seemed to be from a different batch or was specifically for tacos, because it was quite spicy. For reference, my friend often eats spicy foods but she was taken aback by the kick. We ordered sour cream on the side as well. Please note they do charge for the sour cream. The sauce in the shrimp tacos was great. The Tres Leches cake was delicious and I believe has peaches in the filling. If you are coming from out of town and driving, they have valet. If it is full, you may need to wait a bit for a spot to open up. The service overall was okay; they were very quick in getting you what you needed. Definitely check out Charritos if you are in the area!

    Enchiladas Vegetarianas

    We love this place! If you want to beat the traffic and not worry about reservations then come during lunch time. You can also get public parking outside in the morning. Salsa is freshly made in the morning so that's a plus for lunchtime. They increased guacamole price from $10 to $16. I would probably refrain from ordering that next time. Ambiance is as usual top notch with view of the city!

    This is my favorite go to, Authentic Mexican place! The Enchiladas Mole are outstanding. The ensalada mixed is abundant and healthy. The table side Guac never disappoints. The staff is delightful and attentive.

    Pollo Asado
    Elizabeth H.

    Really good Tex Mex with a beautiful view and beautifully crafted indoor decorations that change with the seasons...and the BEST table side guac ever! They also have outdoor seating to enjoy the view during warm months. Valet parking is a must as it's nearly impossible to find street parking, but it's $10 which stinks since it was $3 just a few years ago. Came here in Dec and sat indoors. Indoor decorations reflected a festive winter wonderland. I always get table side guac here to start. Even their chips are deliciously salty and crunchy. Salsa tastes like it was homemade and not from a jar. Ordered beef fajitas and my friends carne and pollo asada. Everything tasted great, but carne asada was slightly chewy. There's a bar if you want drinks. Prices are very reasonable and portions ample. Service was very good. My only con was the expensive valet parking.

    Steak fajitas
    Sabrina P.

    I always order the steak fajitas. They are well seasoned and delicious. I've never had bad service and Think the views of the city are amazing.

    Passionfruit Mojito! : D

    4.5 Stars! Recently, we stopped in for lunch on a weekday. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining with wonderful views of New York City. Very festive Mexican indoor decor. We ordered Mojitos- Regular and Passion fruit. Both cocktails were phenomenal! Food consisted of Guacamole prepared table side and beer batter cod tacos. The guacamole was excellent. The tacos were good, but had too many onions. Service was friendly and very good. Parking is primarily on the street. Think there might be a small private parking lot available.

    Simple yet so well cooked ! Fast service and nice view. Good place for a warm spring evening dinner over a glass of spicy margarita

    Pollo En Rajas
    Rachel C.

    This is a really nice Mexican restaurant with the skyline view. You have the ability to sit outside or inside. It is beautifully decorated with bright colors. I had pollo en rajas for the first time and I would certainly be back for it! The chicken and corn was on a light and creamy sauce (similar to Alfredo). The portion is big and filling. The flan was great too! The only thing I would state is that the margaritas felt a bit small for the price $15 each.

    I have been to this Charrito's several times, and yes it is for the view !! The Newyork skyline view and the vibe is so good. Be ready to wait if you are a big group on a weekend or call ahead of time. The service was surprisingly quick the last time I went, however the staff could be warmer and friendlier. We of-course had to get the freshly made Guac to kick off the meal (5/5). Followed with Veggie Enchiladas ( 3.5/5), Chicken Fajitas ( 4/5 ), Birria Tacos ( 3.5/5 ).... And wrapped up with Flan ( 4.5/5 ). I would come back for the view, you can find better Mexican food in other places too.

Not surprisingly as the first match of the FIFA World Cup Soccer was being played in Mexico's famous Estadio Esteca with Mexico facing South Africa. Inside the restaurant was buzzing with customers. I had chosen this place so that Helga didn't have to walk far on this sultry muggy day. We changed tables to get a better view of the screen but were disappointed as the television was not high up for all to see. The one in bar area was high but we couldn't hear any sound. The $26 5 Borough Winners Special created by Mayor Mamdani in honor of the World Cup 2026 was here. Neither of us found it quite appealing as it only came with chips, 3 salsas and a frozen margarita. Helga got a Modelo beer and i had tacos and a Margherita on the rocks with salt on the rim. A server was going around giving people shots of Mezcal. I didn't have any as the Margherita was beginning to give me a buzz and I didn't want to end up dancing on the table tops. When half time came the two drummers came inside the restaurant only to create such a loud cacophony that Helga decided to leave. I stayed a little while longer. Here the restaurant did not take into account that the customers came for the game with a meal thrown in. They should have made sure that everyone could see and hear the game properly. Both tv sets were breaking up which made us realize that they were old. I found the quality of the chips average and longed for the stellar ones at Oyomel and Tacos Grand Central. The tacos at Los Tacos No. 1 are also far tastier than what I was eating. Plus the Margheritas at Dos Caminos are to die for. La Contenta was fine for the first soccer game but we aren't returning to see any more games here.

The restaurant was busy…read moreand LOUD and HOT, but I was fortunate that they were able to accommodate our table of 8 in a nice booth. We shared their guac and then all ordered a variety of entrees. I had the steak tacos, which initially didn't sound filling enough because they came as 2 mini-ish tacos. It ended up being enough and the guac dressing (?) they paired with it was the most memorable part (the steak was good but it didn't stand out). One of my friends had brought a cake to serve after and the restaurant charged us $24 to serve it. Part of me understands this, but it also seemed like an unnecessary charge...we've been at plenty of restaurants that don't do this so that's where my bias is coming from ~~ Overall, the experience was very fine. Not bad, but the smaller space of the restaurant just made it so we had to scream across the table and we're very mindful of the space we were taking up.
