El Charrito Authentic Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in Glendale

This place has been a staple in our community for many, many years. So it is sad to me to have to say this was horrible! There was not one soul in this place but the waitress and a cook. This place seemed to go down here since I was last here. The server was short and rude, the salsa tastes like just oregano, way too much!, the chips were burnt, their food is too expensive for what they offer and give. When my food came out the cook had just threw all the taco topping on top of the three tacos they just sit in the beans and the meat in its own juices. Also, they don’t make real tacos here!?! They were fake shells, the meat had bone and gristle in it too! This was so bad. Plus the server never checked in on me or came back for a refill in an hour! It was ridiculous. The tacos are better at Taco Bell! They were horrible plus all soggy! My family has been going here since I was a kid I am now 45 I will never go back now. That is sad to me. The atmosphere in there was also strange it seemed grimy and it is very poorly lite. For being there too alone and with no one else in the restaurant I am not about the food...

Came here with the family. Me and my father ordered the beef fajita, from the rude waitress. My dad got his beef fajita first and said it tasted like horse meat, which I was skeptical about. I got my plate and wow, the beef was awful...I have no way of describing it other than saying it tasted like salty, long-expired beef. About 20 minutes after my first bite, it started. My insides started churning, I raced to the bathroom but couldn't throw-up, which would have made me feel better at least. My dad started getting stomach pain too...we know it wasn't gas, the pain was sharp and felt like churning, and I've never had similar issues ever before. I didn't bother telling the staff since they were rude anyway I know they wouldn't care. I just wanted to get out as fast as possible.

I can't believe how terrible the food tasted and that it made me sick. I've eaten lots of street food from a third world country (I was there for weeks) and didn't have any issues (and it tasted better than the food at this restaurant), so that ought to tell...

The sign said, "seat yourself." So that is what we did. Staff immediately m welcomed us and asked what we would like to drink. I was so thirsty from the heat outside, I could not have been met with a better greeting. The waitress was very attentive and the flow of everything went so smoothly. I ordered the#15 . It was so delicious the only bad issue I had was having to stop overeating and fill my doggy bag. I couldn't waste any of my meal. It was really that good! The bill was fair and I had no problem forking over the cash and leaving a tip that reflected my satisfaction. Excellent service. This is not a fancy restaurant but if you just want to impress your taste buds and have everything you feel need to ask for delivered promptly to your table with a smile, this is the place. I hope for you the great experience I had. Maybe just don't expect much and go from there. Also, they have a Specials Menu with at least 5 items for under $7. Wow! Very impressive even if you are not on a budget. And...
