Charanda Of Newport — Restaurant in Newport

Other than the fact that we had to use our phone flash to read the menus because it was dark, we had a great meal together. The photos and video are not great because of the natural light I chose to use. The food was delicious. I just didn't enjoy my elote (street corn on the cobb) very much because it was dry, so I'm not sure if it was overcooked or just old corn, not sure, but the rest was great! I really enjoyed my salmon with rice, salsa, tomal and salad. It was delicious! The server was great. Brought ua everything we needed. She did, although seem a bit sad? Too serious? I felt like I visited an actual authentic restaurant outside of the US because they don't do fake, cheesy, customer service smiles for money the way americans do at many places. It didn't bother us too much, but it makes me wonder if she was tired, sad or just uninterested. I tried talking to her in Spanish and she just replied coldly in English because I was my English speaking friends maybe? I don't know, but I hope that the server is not just completely miserable at her job and is always this way without being, uhmm... " Somewhat delightfully cheerful"?! Not sure I read, great people's skills vibe from her. But, as far as her job, she did amazing! We got our food fast. She checked on us constantly, brought us everything in a timely fashion. So. I would not mind having her serve us again. The parte platters my friends ordered looked delicious! I'll definitely want to go again. The prices were sort of average for the plates but still on the high side, I couldn't really find a normal meal under $15, they were mostly $17 and up when I didn't really order anything fancy, the salmon just came with rice and salad and a very small tómale. So. Overall, the experience was mostly enjoyable. If you're looking for an actual mexican restaurant, this is not it. The food had flavor but it didn't have FLAVOR! It's your typical Mexi-merican, Tex-mex, comfort food, services by apparently a chain restaurant. The vibe inside is cool! I like the decor. So, it felt like, a lower quality mexican version of "olive garden". If you're focused on time with your friends and family and are not looking for anything great, it's a convenient place to go out in my opinion. I've read the bad reviews just now. If you do decide to go after reading my review, I'd encourage you to complain with respect if there is something they can do better, they can be informed and be given an opportunity to handle the situation and make an effort to...

Because we are fans of Mexican, Tex Mex, Dishes, and live in a somewhat rural location, there are few Restaurant Options that are convenient. So, we we praying that we would not be disappointed w/our Local Charanda’s. I am very happy to report that there have been few issues that could have been considered negatives on the part of the Restaurant. The only time the Service wasn’t expedient was due to the Restaurants location, popularity, crowd volume. Despite often serving high volume crowds, the Restaurant always appears clean, from the Hostess, Servers, to the Kitchen Staff, you are treated respectfully, politely, and they will go the extra mile to provide the very best experience possible. Despite having eaten at many Restaurants specializing in a variety of what are considered Traditional American Mexican Dishes, & them being on the smaller, more economical scale, I have NEVER been disappointed in the preparation, flavor, presentation of the items I have tried. I have never experienced another Kitchen turn around and order, as lightning fast, piping hot & delicious as our little humble Charanda’s. Needless to say, we feel quite blessed to have at least one excellent local restaurant we know we can ALWAYS count on for an excellent experience for the palette. I couldn’t recommend them more highly, so I chose them to be 1 of the very 1st of my Reviews. My advice for new Customers would be to try to arrive either slightly before, or after the busiest Dinner Hours so you can avoid a wait, especially on weekends. However, any waits are short and rare. You can always visit the Bar while you wait if you are so inclined. But, the excellent service & food make it worth a short wait, which if timed well is rarely an issue. I will also say, they have tile floors, excellent choices of libations from the bar, casual atmosphere, so be prepared for the noise level to be on the higher end of the scale during busy hours, especially on weekends & the Dinner rush hours. But there is rarely a wait when we go. So, if you are in the area & feeling in the mood for a really quick, tasty dining experience, you can’t go wrong w/our...

Nom nom mfs. But first, a word from our sponsor.

Raid shadow legends. Have you heard about them?

Raid is a turn-based RPG which can be played on both the Android and iOS devices. I even downloaded it myself and genuinely found myself to be having some fun. And the best part is it's completely free. So you've really got nothing to lose. It has decent graphics for a mobile game. PvP battles, a campaign story, giant boss fights, and rage you can carry out with other players. Every month the game will add 14 new champions, meaning the gameplay stays fresh as you can play with new strategies, and balance. And completing certain missions to help give you progression rewards. But you don't have to take my word for it, as there are currently 15 million other people who have downloaded the game, and it is currently one of the top 3 ranked RPG'S on the google play store. So if you want to give it a go glick my personal link in the description below to not only get the game but receive and extra 50,000 silver plus a free epic champion as part of the new player program they are testing. Thank you so much for watching guys and thank you to raid for...
