“The service has always been good when I have gone, they serve brunch on the weekends, if you bring your own wine or tequila they will make you sangria or margaritas.”

*Lunch Review*
Firstly: I have a cilantro allergy and struggle with Mexican and was SO appreciative that the waiter put all the cilantro on the side for my friend to enjoy.
We came for lunch and shared the mushroom queso and then I ordered carne asada. There are complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were average (they could've used some salt) and I couldn't eat the salsa because cilantro. The queso was DELISH. The mushrooms were perfectly cooked, the cheese was melty & delicious, and the many tortillas were warm. Also, The tortilla basket was adorable– a little sombrero. I'm easily amused but I loved that little touch!
Giving this three stars because the carne asada was SO dry & bland & rubbery. After a delicious queso, I was hoping for a yummy taco but was so not into these.
I ordered sour cream to supplement the dryness, and that was yummy, but I definitely wouldn't order the tacos again.
Cute place (fun, intimate Mexican vibe), but definitely would never order the tacos again.
I Love Carne Asada (I feel like I should wear a t-shirt with that plastered on it!) This place finally made it to perfection.
I was with a few friends from Seattle and took them to another state (I lived in NYC (UES) at the time. They loved this restaurant and the wait wasn't that bad (10mins). We wanted to have HH and food. We had to touring all over the city and we wanted good portions, great flavors, and of coarse Seattle has GREAT Mexican food so I needed it to be somewhat ethnic (a lot of places in NJ, that I've tasted aren't).
I love that they make the guacamole in front of you and ask you what your preference is. This is my favorite thing about Mexican spots. When they do this I feel like I should put up a tip. Good Job Charritos.
Oh yeah and the service was amazing. Its a small spot. We also got two bottles of wine (white and rose), which was perfect with our dishes. I love BYOB…
I have one on north Bergen that I'm going to try soon. Can't wait.
Friday night fail. I rolled in from work happy hour and met my guy for a late dinner. The space makes me feel claustrophobic with literally no room to move. We sat down anyway, knowing that a 9:30 dinner in Hoboken is nearly impossible when every kitchen in town is about to close. A server did not acknowledge us for at least 10 minutes and it took another 20 to make a pitcher of sangria. We ordered our food, but the order was never placed, and the food didn't come out when every other table was served. After 30+ minutes of waiting, we walked home and ordered Benny's. Never again.
Went on a Thursday night in the summer and got a nice table outside. The star dish is here is definitely the table side guacamole. The lady made it perfectly and the portion was quite generous. Perfect amount of spice and salt. Went well with the salsa and chips. Their guac is a must and I think it was $10. Great for sharing.
However service was super slow with my entree. They did not bring salad until my party was almost finishing up their own food. The salad was just some lettuce, avocado (maybe 1/4 of a whole avocado) and cucumbers. The lettuce tasted weird and soapy. Definitely not getting it again.
I would come back for the guac but I don't know about anything else.
BYOB is always good so there's an extra star in the rating for that :).
Overall the service was good but the food and prices did not match up. The food was okay and definitely overpriced. The guacamole was good but nothing to write home about. I ordered the carne asada which came with rice and beans. It was a large portion but the steak wasn't delicious, it was blah :(. My bf had the pork loin which was better than my steak but the chilaquiles were so soggy that they were barely edible.
I'm not picky about Mexican food so this place really disappointed me.
If you want to drink and eat guacamole it's def a good spot!
Loved it! We were in town for recruiting, and my friend recommended it. Turns out I've been here before. The place is VERY small so don't bring a crew. We read online that they will make you Sangria. We went across the street for a bottle of spanish wine, and they mix the sangria for approx. $10 for a pitcher. The service is quick, and the food is spectacular. The only downfall for me is I feel the prices are higher for mexican, but you can taste the quality of the food. I ordered the Duo D'Enchilladas (mole enchilladas), and my coworker loved the Pollos en Rajas.
Decent. I'm surprised… A tiny hole in the wall Mexican food.
Service- our waitress was very short and rushed our ordered took the menu out of our hands before we finished asking questions.
We ordered
1- gauc – very plain Jane. Just Avo and cilantro and they add jalapeño if you want it hot. But it tastes like its missing something
2- chicken fajitas- great sautéed pepper and onion full in flavor and tender chicken also rich in flavor. Very small portion of rice and beans. Not the best rice it was almost mush. And I'm not the biggest fan of Refried beans so I wouldn't be the best person to give advice about it
3- steak- very thin portion the meat was good but the portion was extremely small
4- 2 salads- very basic the string beans were from a can.
All of this was $50.
Def overpriced. But the food isn't HORRIBLE.
I think the chicken fajitas were the best. I can see myself coming back just for that.
I have major mixed views on this place where my rating moved from 3 to 4 stars. So I stuck with 4 stars so here goes. We sat outside because the weather was great and I love patios! We brought our own alcohol but just beer. I saw it costs $9 to make a pitcher of sangria or margarita if you bring wine or tequila. I thought that was a bit much but maybe I'm being stingy?
We got the table side guacamole which is definitely Delicious which I so wish they had put in more avocados! Then I got the chicken flautas. They were so so so good! My friends got chicken enchiladas and one got mole and one got salsa verde – both delicious… Especially the mole. Wow now that tastes authentic for sure.
Very tasty food overall….salsa was bleh but yeah I liked it but I can't say I would recommend it to anyone as an exceptionally great spot to go
