What I do know is that the only other place I've tasted it this good was Mexico. It's incredibly rich, savory, fatty, toothsome, and browned, with a deep flavor I can only describe as the equivalent of "wok hei", or, "breath of the wok" - the Cantonese way to describe the taste of the skillful, perfect cooking method itself. The other food we had was good, but the carne asada is truly exceptional, clearly the best in Clatsop County by a large margin. Visit this place and get a carne asada burrito - it'll make a believer out of you in one bite.

We had a wonderful family lunch at El Tapatio and will definitely be back!…read more I ordered the tostada, and it was absolutely delicious. I especially loved the fresh radishes and cucumber garnish, a refreshing touch. My son ordered the Colorado Burrito with shredded beef, his girlfriend had the Super Burrito, and my granddaughter enjoyed a taco with the two-enchilada combination. Everything looked fantastic. The menu is huge, with so many tempting choices that it was hard to decide. I originally planned on ordering the chile relleno but decided to try something different this time, and I'm glad I did. The complimentary chips came with two different salsas, and both were excellent. One salsa had mushrooms, onions, and what I believe were tomatillos, giving it a unique flavor that was absolutely delicious. It was a nice change from the typical restaurant salsa. One thing worth mentioning is the portion sizes. The burritos are enormous and could easily be shared between two people while still leaving everyone satisfied. We were seated in a booth overlooking the Columbia River, which made for a beautiful setting and added to the experience. A few minor drawbacks: Because it was a warm day, the doors were left open, and there were quite a few flies near the entrance and inside the restaurant. None bothered us where we were seated, but it was noticeable when entering. Parking can also be a little tight, especially if you drive a larger vehicle. There is one handicap parking space near the entrance. Families with young children should also be aware that the stairs to the lower level are directly in front of the entrance without a gate or barrier, so it's something to keep an eye on. Overall, the excellent food, generous portions, friendly atmosphere, and beautiful river view far outweighed those small concerns. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Each dish comes with an amazing Nicaraguan pico, rice and bean, plantains and fried cheese. Everything was delicious and well seasoned. The atmosphere is very chill and quiet.

Was stopping by in Astoria and looking for a dinner option before we went on our way, and noticed…read morethis huge taco truck on our way to another restaurant we were thinking of trying. Took one look at the menu, and thought to ourselves, let's go here instead! We paid Chalitos tacos a visit on a Wednesday around 7PM. The taco truck itself is located on a dirt lot with indoor and outdoor seating right outside and next to the truck. There seems to be a couple of parking spaces nearby that I have seen diners walk to and from as well. You place your order at the register, and you wait till they call your name - ours took about 7-10 minutes to get out. We got several tacos ($3 each) just to try the meat options that this restaurant has to offer - Asada, Lengua, Fish, Al Pastor were the options we tried. They were all absolutely delicious! The asada and al pastor were seasoned well and had a pleasant meaty texture, and my personal favorite, the lengua was the perfect texture - soft, hearty, and basically melts as you chew it. Their quesadilla is a solid price too at $10 and you can pick any meat you want to go in it for the same price! At other similar Mexican restaurants, a lengua quesadilla can be up to $12. The quesadilla was portioned generously and came out piping hot with the cheese being stringy and absolutely indulgent with every bite! I also love that they include guacamole with the quesadilla as it usually is a premium at other establishments. Chalitos tacos is definitely an underrated gem in Astoria, as there aren't too many reviews just quite yet - I think compared to what you can get in Astoria, from a quick scope of the area's culinary offerings, the price with quality and quantity you can get from this taco truck seems to be unparalleled. If I am ever in Astoria again, I would definitely come back to try their other options, there are several on my mind like the burrito, pupusas, salchipapas, etc.
