El Charritos New Mexican Restaurant

Born and raised here. Tried numerous NM food restaurants and by far El Charritos is the most authentic that I know of (except the green chili, which is all one can get unless you roast and prepare it yourself), but is passable. The carne adovada does things to your pallet like no other. It is family owned and operated by a few generations of family members and all are simply wonderful. Just my luck, I live very close to their location.

So glad I was able to grab a bag of red chili to bring back home! ?

Best new Mexico food in the city

Awesome place can't wait to go back again

Went for breakfast it was great

I ordered the Tamales plate. Came with two tamales, refried rice, refried beans, cheese, two sopapillas and smothered in red sauce. I am sure the tamales are good if you like red sauce but I don't. I should've asked for the sauce on the side but didn't want to be a fuss. The inside is cute. They also have a clean shaded patio outside. Fast service and good waiters/waitresses. I'm just particular about my tamales, definitely no red sauce next time. I look forward to trying more dishes in the coming future, but definitely with no red chili sauce. ?

Still serving in styrofoam containers. I find it hard to believe they can't hire a dishwasher or two. You are also supposed to clean after yourself and order at the counter. I used to enjoy a nice family breakfast here on Sunday morning, but those days seem to be gone. Very poor business model and enough to keep me from returning.
