We stopped by El Charrito Market while visiting Gilroy, and we're so glad we did. I ordered the pambazo, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavor of the chile they used to dip the bolillo was very flavorful. It was one of the best pambazos I've had. My wife ordered the tlayuda, and she loved it as well. Everything tasted fresh. On top of the great food, the service was awesome. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We're from Orange County, but we'll definitely make El Charrito Market a regular stop whenever we're passing through Gilroy on future road trips. This place is truly a hidden gem, and we can't wait to come back! read more

The food is the quite the what we need in a hometown type of restaurant! Very cool items that make it authentic! Let's start with the tortillas. Handmade on your tacos with loads of meat options. Menudo, to flautas to southern Mexico cuisine is what allows you to taste Mexico in 1 sitting! Pozole for fiestas, Oaxacan delights to fresh made tortillas with frijoles and you can purchase some nice "crunchy" exotic items that bring it all together! Tere and the rest of the staff are super friendly and understand the menu very well. Super cool vibe inside the restaurant give you time to pick up some Tlayuda shells to take home. It is a very nice place to have a great meal! read more

Oh. My. Lort. This place is such a hidden gem! Totally authentic Mexican decor, music, employees...and a vegan menu!! I got the Tacos Dorado Plate, 2 bean and 1 potato. But get this, they brought out 3 potato tacos and told me they're bringing me the two bean ones since they mixed up the order. So I got 5 tacos!! The tacos were SO good! And I have a few to take with me. The chips and salsa were also excellent. Service was very warm and friendly. Totally impressed, and my tummy is full and happy :) read more

Some of the best pozole I've had in a while from a local spot! It came with all the fixings and a side of chili oil. I was originally planning to order from another place, but after a few unanswered calls, we ended up here and I'm so glad we did. My sister got a breakfast burrito and said it was delicious.

I used to love this place, this is where I came to get masa to make Tamales but the couple of times I have been there it's just rude service . The masa that is prepared went down greatly in quality. Sometimes they used way to much Manteca where is just dripping out of the bag it looks like they just dumped a bucket of masa on it. Other times is way too salty where the masa becomes not good for consumption. Is sad to see this place go down like this read more

This place is one of Gilroy hidden treasures of Mexico. They transport you as you come in with the authentic music and friendly greeting. Then it divides into two aisles:1 to market to get fresh meat and vegetables plus other essentials. Then 2 takes to the flavored of Mexico by showing you a menu that is full of delicious and authentic taste of many regions from Mexico. As far north to the south, it's hard to decide what or which to choose. OMG.they even have sautéed grasshopper with garlic yummm ! The taste of all of what I ordered which was Birria taco with a bowl of its own soup plus a picadita w/o meat, a Hand Made Tortilla freshly made!! I went over board and couldn't stop myself. I'll definitely will come back for way more food and highly recommend this place in Gilroy. Not to far from Hwy 101(5-8 mins with stops). Muchas Gracias por hacer recordar a Mexico!!!!!

Poor hygiene! But the food was tasty, despite our order being wrong. It was our first visit today. There was a gentleman who was working on the market side, but also came to the restaurant side and was seen wearing the same pair of gloves without washing or changing them in between serving customers. I saw him go from the meat section, putting on his jacket and taking it off, helping at the cash register and serving coffee and food without changing his gloves. I was watching like a hawk to make sure that he didn't touch our food because otherwise I would have complained. I'm coming to Yelp in hopes that the owner will see this and enforce proper hygiene and use of gloves. In that case my family and I would consider returning. Gloves are not for the users protection and actually prevent good hand hygiene and promote the spread of bacteria and infection if used improperly. Please educate your staff!! read more

I've only been here for their breakfast burritos. We usually get their chorizo. They're really tasty & filling. I'd recommend calling ahead as the wait is always longer than most places. I get them to go. I don't know why I've never gone in the afternoon for their other stuff but I guess someday I will. Can't go wrong though with the breakfast burritos. The only other knock is the salsas. I personally don't care for them but my wife likes one of them. I'd rather take the much spicier Super Taq salsas anyday over El Charrito's. read more

I find it so hard to be on a diet or eat healthy when this place is so accessible to me! this looks like a meat market from the outside but there is a restaurant in the back. They offer tons of breakfast options as well as lunch/dinner. They are open early, and if you don't see something on the menu they can make it! everything I have ordered is made fresh and hot, and its like eating home cooked Mexican food that your abuelita made, you wont be disappointed and the portions are huge! one taco will fill you up! the rice is so good and the salsa is to die for! staff is super friendly too! call ahead of time if you are ordering to go because it takes time for all that freshness! there is a sit down area its not the most modernly decorated but you def will be delighted. read more

I ordered the the spicy Mamacita and my friend ordered the pina colada. Both drinks looked cool but mine was very sweet, not really spicy at all and was tiny for $15. I think I mostly paid for the presentation part...flower, popsicle, etc. We both ordered the 3 taco trio and the food came out before long. I had a mahi mahi, carne asada and a taco macho. Again, the food wasn't that great: rice and beans had an off flavor, octopus was chewy in the taco macho, and the mahi was a bit fishy. We took half our food to go and checked out. All in all I would not come back unless it was out of convenience due to the location. The food and drinks have a nice presentation, but the taste of everything wasn't there for me. Although our server was really nice and my friend and I were busy chatting, the service was slow.

Ordered Burrito Bowl with chicken and Super Burrito with carne asada from here. The burrito bowl is…read morea great deal and comes with rice, pinto beans, choice of meat, pico de gallo, lettuce, cheese, guacamole and cheese for $12. The super burrito comes with choice of meat, rice, beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese and avocado for $12. Asada meat is very tender and has great smoky taste. A bit too much tortilla for the burrito, and not enough of the fixings, it was mostly rice, beans and meat. Still great taqueria inside a super market. Very simple and does have a seating area. Awesome salsa bar with 4 sauces, pico, onions and cilantro, jalapeño, radish and limes. Great options!

The pan dulce , and tres leches cake always hits the spot. Looking for something else besides baked goods? Arteaga's offers plenty of fresh meat options , and a salsa display that will make your head spin. Do yourself a favor and try multiple salsa options- they are all good! I love this place! The store is well organized , well stocked , and offers a variety of fruits , vegetables, and pre made food options to enjoy! I have this store rated higher than Cardenas. Cardenas is always grimy , and fell off in my opinion.

The food was delicious and a super value. The portions were generous. No Scooby snack tacos here!…read more Service was quick and courteous. We were delighted by the people and the dinner! The interior of the restaurant was clean and simple. This particularly day it was extremely hot inside so we took our order to go. We stay in Gilroy every year for a weekend to attend the Renaissance Faire. This will definitely be our go-to for one dinner (maybe more) every year from now on.

With so many taqueria choices in Gilroy it's hard to pick a spot. This one was close to the train…read morestation with good reviews. They are well deserved. The restaurant is modest, no air conditioning and mostly only Spanish spoken. No worries, they were friendly and tolerated my high school Spanish, The carnitas and asado tacos were terrific - tender pork and flavorful steak, with nice homemade tortillas. The pozole was really good, chock full of tender chunks of pork. They used lettuce vs cabbage but otherwise super tasty. I'd return and try some of the other items.

While the food looked amazing to eat I was abruptly interrupted by an unwanted guest (a hair) found at the top of my plate I can't imagine the food safety is managed here if this is something that can occur on a weeknight. Be wary of your food before eating. Training in hospitality and food safety would go a long way at this establishment. El servicio al cliente en este establecimiento puede usar un poco de entrenamiento de cómo responder a la gente cuando quieren más salsas px se les acabó en la bara fría de salsa y cuando uno trata de utilizar a lo máximo que hay disponible se enojan los trabajadores si no tienen más que ofrecer de salsa no se enojen con la gente cuando traten de agarrar de lo poco que hay de ofrecer. Cuando quería disfrutar mi comida agusto me interrupio un pelo en el plato no podía pasar el pensamiento de la seguridad de comida en este restaurante si esto ocurre entre semana. Trabajen en su modo de hablar al cliente y la seguridad de comida y vemos si merece una revista mejor.

I've ordered…read morethis burrito here before and was happy with the burrito and it felt like a good value, enough to get me to trust that I could come back again and be happy. Today, around 2:30 I hadn't eaten lunch and was in the area so I figured I could swing into this place since they didn't let me down last time. Nope. Today's burrito was so pathetic it was about the size of a single tamale. When I got to my car and opened it up I was so upset I wanted to walk back in there. Then I start eating the burrito and you're never going to believe this, so I had to get pictures. This baby was mostly tortilla, some rice, and hardly any beans. This place took my money and completely disrespected my order. 0 stars for consistency 0 stars for flavor This place is a scam.
