" I recently hosted a large birthday party at El Charrito 2 and was met with mixed reactions. While many enjoyed their meals, I found the service somewhat lacking during our busy time. We had reservations, but the pacing of the service made it difficult to keep track of who ordered what. Some plates were served spontaneously, confusing our guests. However, the food was generally flavorful. I must commend the staff for trying their best, but I believe more training would help streamline service during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Charrito 2 has quickly become my family’s go-to spot for Mexican food! We love the wide variety on the menu, and it’s always hard to choose what to get! The portions are immense, ensuring no one leaves hungry. We usually order a combination platter to share; it’s a great way to sample different dishes. The atmosphere is also very pleasant, perfect for both family dinners and evenings with friends. Highly recommend their tamales and street corn! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our last visit was less than ideal. While the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, the service was quite slow, and we had to wait a long time for our drinks. The food was alright, but it lacked the authentic flavor we hoped for. The carne asada was a bit bland, and the chips seemed stale. Although we enjoyed the homemade salsa, it wasn't enough to save the meal. I want to give this place another try since I've heard good things, but my patience is wearing thin. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a really bad experience at El Charrito 2. The food was cold when it arrived and lacked flavor; my burrito was so dry it was inedible. The ambiance was nice, but that couldn’t make up for the subpar meal. We never saw our server after placing our order, which was frustrating. I left disappointed and probably won't return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, El Charrito 2 is a nice place for good Mexican food. The staff was friendly, but there were delays in service that dampened the experience. The food was solid; I particularly liked the enchiladas. Best part? The generous portions! You truly get your money's worth. I can see myself returning but hopefully with improved service. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I decided to try this place after hearing great reviews, but we were a bit disappointed. The food was fine, but it didn't have the vibrant flavors we were expecting. The ambiance was nice, but it was quite crowded and noisy. We didn't want to be rude, but we had to raise our voices to be heard. Overall, it was just okay for us, and we're not sure if we’ll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at El Charrito 2 left me with mixed feelings. Although my meal was perfectly spicy, the server seemed overwhelmed and forgot to bring a few of our sides. The ambiance has its charm, though not as relaxing as I would have liked. I felt that they could improve the flow of service dramatically during dinner rush hours. Still, I'm willing to give it another shot due to the tasty food. " (*Curated Review*)
