EL CHARRITO TAQUERÍA — Restaurant in Saint Paul

Really Good Carne Asada tacos!! Awesome customer service! I was in a pinch. It was Friday and We were set to celebrate my sons 17th with the family and I had failed to place an order earlier in the week at my usual spot. They require 2 days for large orders. Panicked, I googled and this place came up. I thought I’d give them a shot if they could get me 40 tacos by the next day. Turned out they could and were so chill about it and it was cheaper than my normal spot by a little…Bonus! I struggle with Spanish, 3 years in HS eons ago and Duolingo, mi español sigue siendo muy mal. The women there called the owner, who spoke English to complete the order. I felt like a burden, but they were so gracious about it. I’m rambling but if you’re on the West Side stop in to this joint for really good food provided by some really great people! You won’t be...

I stopped in here mainly based on the good reviews and the fact I was also craving some tostadas. They have a small lot for parking and some cool art on the side of the building. I ordered one tostada de tinga and one tostada de carnitas. I was expecting the carnitas to be slow cooked but it was more like a chopped meat that would've been better for tacos. However, their tinga de pollo hit it out of the park. It was flavorful, tender, and went perfectly with the tostada. If I'm ordering tostadas from here again, I would go straight for the tinga de pollo. Everything was fresh, the tortillas were crispy, and the portions were reasonable. I tried a hibiscus tea which was a bit sweet but still good too. I would be happy to support this...

This is a great new taqueria in the neighborhood in the old Cora's Best Chicken Wings location! There is such a wide selection available, from burritos and tacos to antojitos to soup. I'm especially impressed with the antojitos (gordita, tlacoyo, and quesadilla de maiz) and I highly recommend trying all of them out. Overall, the food is high quality and you can tell how much care they put into the dishes.

On top of all that, the service is friendly and the food is prepared in a good amount of time. Takeout is easy and if you want to dine in, there's a decent amount of seating inside - several small tables, bar seating, and one big table that can seat...
