El Charrito — Restaurant in San Carlos

Second time here and have been pleased both visits. Ordered the cabeza super burrito $13, lengua super burrito $13, regular asada taco $3.25, and regular Al pastor taco $3.25. Super burritos are a good size and have well balanced ingredients. FYI, they have lettuce in them. Meats were all good, flavorful, not too salty, and cooked just right. Asked for no added salt, less rice and sour cream, and they accommodated. They have a salsa bar, but it's mainly just sauces. No vegetables, pico de gallo, etc. Small restaurant with limited indoor seating, but they were not too busy at dinner time on a Fri night.

El Charrito has been our go-to place for tacos and burritos for fifteen years. We have tried a number of other taquerias in the area, but El Charrito remains our favorite by a considerable margin.

I always get the vegetarian burrito. It is a reasonable size at a very good price. They also have a salsa bar with red and green sauce and jalapeno peppers as well as loads of chips. Food/price ratio wise it gets a 5 star. The only reason I have it at 4 is that they initially tried to charge me $2 to make it a wet burrito whereas going from regular burrito's (with meat) to a wet burrito was only a $1 difference. I mentioned something and so the guy checked with a guy in the back and apparently it was ok (to pay the $1 instead of $2 for the wet upgrade). Sure, they are trying to get what they can get.. a little bit annoying though. It won't stop me from going back...
