" Having eaten at El Charritos multiple times, I can attest to their consistent quality in New Mexican cuisine. There’s nothing like their authentic enchiladas with red sauce—truly a comforting dish! While I usually have positive experiences, I did encounter a longer wait for service during my latest visit, which was slightly disappointing. Nonetheless, I left full and happy, looking forward to my next meal there. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I stepped into El Charritos, I felt like I was back in Albuquerque. The family-owned vibe is real here! We ordered the red chili enchiladas and huevos rancheros. Each dish was bursting with flavor, and the portions were gigantic—definitely enough to share! The waitress was delightful and added to the experience. A minor downside was the ordering system, which felt a little awkward because we had to order at the counter first. However, the delicious food made up for it. I cannot wait to go back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and friendly service! I enjoyed the carne adovada immensely, with rich flavors and great portion sizes. The ordering process seemed unusual as I had to order before sitting down which created a bit of confusion at first. Despite that, the charming atmosphere and attentive staff made my dining experience worthwhile. I’m looking forward to my next visit, especially to explore their breakfast menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! El Charritos offers some of the best New Mexican fare I’ve ever experienced outside of my hometown. The enchiladas are incredibly flavorful, with just the right amount of heat. The combos are huge, making them a great value. The staff's friendliness struck me the most; they really created a comfortable experience for diners despite the busy atmosphere. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, you can’t go wrong here! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Charritos has become a regular dining spot for me due to their flavorful dishes and made-from-scratch ingredients. I recommend trying the huevos rancheros as they deliver the perfect amount of spice in the morning. The only hiccup during my visits has been the staffing situation, resulting in longer wait times. However, the joy of good food overcomes these minor setbacks. Worth visiting if you want a slice of authentic New Mexican culture! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience! El Charritos serves delightful New Mexican cuisine that feels straight out of grandma's kitchen. The hospitality of the staff made the experience even more enjoyable, albeit a bit chaotic due to peak hours. But let me tell you, the flavors are unbeatable! The pricing is fair considering the large portions. If you want an authentic meal, I absolutely recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Charritos was enjoyable! They serve great New Mexican dishes that are both flavorful and filling. The staff was accommodating, even though the establishment was busy. The only downside was having to line up to order before being seated, which felt a little chaotic. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would recommend it to others who appreciate authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)
