    Great food! Love this place!  Amazing Cadillac Margaritas, be careful as they are strong!  Owners are always there, they care about their customers. I visit Molalla area about 4 times a year and eat here every visit. Customer service is top notch.  Decor is cheesy (kind of creepy) but clean and fun.   The food isn't the best Mexican I've ever had, but its darn good. The Salsa has too many onions,  but the salsa itself s good, just dodge the onions.The mexican pizza is my husbands favorite, I like the tacos and enchiladas.  The beef is well marinated.

    I'm a food snob and an even more so a  Mexican food snob.  (Boo - Chilis or any other Mex chain, they all suck.)  The decor is "funky" , granted, but its run by a family for families.  One of the owners is there all times they are open, a lot of concern.  

    Chips, salsa and beans are always on the table, they don't let you run out.

    Family owned and operated, one of the owners is always there and available.

    The food was very average and the prices were high for a Mexican Restaurant.  Nice, clean place.  Service was great except for the nearly 15 minutes we waited for our check after they had already cleared our table.  Waiters passed us so many times that we gave up and went to the register.  Guess they like small tips!

    We were very disappointed with our experience at El Charrito. The service was extremely slow. The food was under seasoned. The salsa was extremely watery -in fact, I would probably say it was mostly tomato water. The chips were not fresh and tasted stale.

    Our orders were incorrect as well, so that didn't add to our confidence in the place. Overall, I give this place one star.

    Yikes. Carne Asada Burrito was an under-seasoned soggy mess. Chips were stale and salsa was watery. There were seven of us at the table and our food came out over a period of about five minutes. Pretty awkward. Water glasses remained empty most of the meal. Very disappointed overall and will not be coming back.

    I have tried this place a few times, and I've never been satisfied. The food has no flavor. The folks that work there are super kind though
