Nothing sounded good to the Mrs until I mentioned Mexican food and El Charrito. Boom! Instant winner! We got Quesabirria Dinners and a large order of chips and salsa. Delicious. When we dine in person, the service is great and when we order takeout, the food still has the same quality. You can't say that about a lot of restaurants. El Charrito is #1 in our book for quality food, service and ambience. Check them out when you're in the Portage area!

I was just hanging out at my brother's and we decided to go get some Mexican food. I looked on…read moreYelp and El Charrito's came up. The restaurant is nice with a good size dining area. We called our order in and it was ready when we arrived. I ordered the loaded nachos; but instead of the nacho chips I got French fries. Our order also included the Fajita taco salad with chicken, 2 taco dinner (soft shell) shredded chicken and 2 Tostadas. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Overall, I give the experience 5 Stars.

Had a baby shower in the side room. The bartender was great!…read moreI booked the room for 35 people. we had steak, chicken and beef tacos. The steak and chicken where very good! the service, well if you needed a pop or water (came with the dinner) you had to try and find someone to get it for you (took 20 minutes, in most cases) they put wrapped hot tortillas (3 in a pack) in a cooler, which was a great idea. they made us 30 packs, How do I know? Well when I asked for more tortillas the waitress told me the cook said he already made you 30 tortillas and you have 3 packs left. Even though I pd for 35 people so we should have had at least 35 packs which still was not enough because we still had a whole tray of beef and 3/4 tray of chicken left. Needless to say the rest of the people had to make chicken bowls because NO MORE TORTILLAS. Also, I was told when using a debit/credit card there is a 3% charge. I did pay $500 cash and then put the $316 on a debit card, I was charged 7% not 3%. about 13 of the people at the party where drinking margaritas and the bartender was super nice and the margaritas where fantastic. I have a few parties there over the years (all with the exception of this one where great), but never again.
