The Pico was great, so was the green salsa ! My husband had a burrito (asada) and ordered a carmelo (sp?)

Well, once again everything was great from this gem of an expanded food truck. The gentlemen inside of the truck are super friendly and nice. The whip up your Mexican favorites to order. Most importantly, in a time where everything feels really expensive, the prices/portions are great. I say this confidently after trying a couple of other Mexican places in the last couple of weeks on par with Charquitas. My husband got the 5 tacos for $11.99 and I got the 2 taco combo... hey, it was Taco Tuesday what can I say? Tacos were tasty, and big. They have a nice condiment bar in the little indoor dining area adjacent to the truck. My favorite, is the hot carrots they have bagged for their customers. The salsa verde is also VERY good! We have a few options at this level out in the Vail/Corona area and Charquitas is by far my favorite both north and south of the I-10.

Luckily we could just make out the lights from an open sign so we stopped. The first thing we noticed was how spotlessly clean it was. We were greeted right away by a friendly attentive waitress. They have a very interesting menu and great prices. Husband had Huevos Rancheros and I ordered A number 7, which was eggs, chicken enchiladas and hash browns. They were both excellent. We will go there again.

Not many places open on the 4th of July. Friend and I headed to El Merendero to eat, as they were…read moreopen. The same server (the same one every time I'v been there) greeted and seated us. It took awhile (it always does at this place) for the server to return to take our orders. There were maybe 10 customers in the place, so I'm not sure why everything takes so long here. Friend ordered a shrimp tostada; I ordered my usual liver platter. After an EXTREMELY long wait (at this point there only 2 other people in the place and they had been served their food), our food arrived. The tostada was delicious, very citrusy and crisp. It was served in a bowl with an orange colored broth that was really good. My liver platter was delicious as always, with a noticeably smaller portion of liver and a noticeably higher price. When we were done, we waited for the bill. We finally stood up to leave and the server immediately brought over the bill. I love the food here, but hate the long delays in every aspect of eating here.

And it's not pico, but just tomatoes and onions. That's OK. They do 1 dog for $3 or 2 for $5. I did the latter, but was charged $1 fee for credit card. There was no mention of this and no sign. I think I'll try other of their items sometime, though. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!
