Don't let the location fool you. Very good. The food seemed more authentic than your average Mexican restaurant. There were 4 of us and we all agreed we would definitely come back! read more

This place was a great local find on my work trip. The service was fast and friendly. They have excellent food and drinks. I was mostly surprised at the reasonable prices. The food here is fresh, delicious, and seems like a bargain compared to other places. Don't let the prices fool you, the food is excellent. The menu is extensive and they have about anything you could want. I had the chile poblano appetizer and enchiladas. The portions are huge and I skipped the chips/salsa. I'm stuffed and can't wait to visit again. read more

Excellent Mexican food with great selection. I love fish tacos and usually order them whenever I get the chance and these were some of the best. Great flavor with just the right amount of toppings on 3 tacos. My husband ordered Huevos Rancheros with black beans and was not disappointed! The service was excellent- very friendly and quick. read more

Walking in the door the place was very welcoming. The lady that helped me was very friendly. I ordered Togo. The food isn't as good as being in El Paso but it's good for as far away from Mexico it is. Definitely recommend. I'll probably eat in next time. read more

One of the best finds! Food was tasty and hot. Our server was nice. We tried a little bit of pork , chicken and beef. All good

I've been there twice since my girlfriend recommended it the service was quick the food portions are great and not pricey

Decent Mexican restaurant, food came out fast, but fajitas had zero flavor and was not hot when it came to the table.

I went here today for Chips and cheese dip. It was yummy. The atmosphere was cool. The prices were really reasonable. It's a great place for Mexican food. read more

Great food. Great service. The establishment had a very inviting attitude. Definitely worth the drive to get there.

After a frustrating afternoon trying to find anything of interest foodwise open on Sunday near downtown Mansfield, we finally decided to just head towards the freeway to see what derelicts of American fast food decorated the concretescape. When we were about a mile from the intersection, my copilot (who had been immersed in her phone searches) called out, "Hey, there's a Mexican place open up here near the freeway. You wanna check it out?" Damn straight, I did. And, we were able to find it...hidden near the top of a hill in a cluster of chain motels scattered about like condos in a Colorado ski town. Not knowing what to expect, when we walked in, our depression was instantly transformed into joy. It was colorful, traditional Mexican music was playing, there were signs announcing local charity events, and a hostess greeted us like we were old friends. Once seated, we needed more time (twice!) to explore the menu. So much to choose from, and all of it so tempting. I ordered a beverage to help disguise the water that was threatening to leak out of my mouth. Eventually, we ordered way too much food for much too little money. When the food arrived, the portions were very generous (multiplying our over-ordering). Steaming, aromatic, colorful, and chock full of various ingredients. The spice was just right. Much later in time and number of beverage orders, we reluctantly had to stop. When we left, we were doing the circus box-stacking trick trying to get back to the car with the remainder of our over-order. But not without a warm round of thanks on the way out from just about everybody who worked there. So, if you're visiting Mansfield, or just passing its freeway exit, stop in at El Charrito for a very pleasurable meal. And remember to over-order. ***** read more

Order burrito Ground beef very over ground with NO seasonings it was #1 on lunch menu it was ground up sand it said ground beef on menu THATs A LIE BE VERY CAREFUL EATING HERE read more

We normally travel through here at night and have to eat fast food, but we traveled by day and decided to stop for some real food this trip. Sooo glad we found this place! The roasted salsa is very good, the beans were 'sloppy' and delicious. Flautas were crispy, and the toppings were fresca. Chili rellano very flavorful. The Flan is by far the best flan I've ever had. I ordered it to go because another Yelper had commented on it and I wanted to try it. It was so creamy, it was like cheesecake. It was a huge portion and I loved every single bite of it with the same pleasure. read more

This place is dirty which I am willing to overlook if the food is good. The menu is a bit boring compared to some of the specialties at other local restaurants. The food could have been warmer and there were tomatoes in everything. They put lettuce on top of most dishes like they have something to hide. I did not hate the food but it was forgettable and I have no clue why this place has the ratings it does. My margarita was warm and not even moderately strong. The biggest issue is the service. I know you are probably overworked and understaffed but it was rude and not attentive. If you are paying attention: Smiling and being polite equals a better tip. read more

I'll start by saying if you're a fan of flan this is a must try. Tonight's sampling was a tad bit over firm but the taste was absolutely incredible. Could possibly be the best I've ever had. I also enjoyed the fajitas carnitas. The dish was very tasty and I couldn't finish it there was so much on the plate. Their salsa is also very good. It has a roasted flavor to it and I went through two bowls. The server was exceptional. He kept my water full and made sure I was lacking nothing. Overall I'm super impressed and if I'm back in this area I will definitely visit again! read more

Came here for dinner after a long day in the sun. We were quick to be seated. They had indoor as well as outdoor seating. The menu was huge; a little hard to follow as the organization of the menu was not consistent, but full of plenty of options. Food was fresh. Delicious, great for the price. I had the grilled chicken taco salad. Chicken was freshly grilled. Came with a side of salsa, guacamole, rice, and sour cream. Service was good. read more

Passing through towns on our way west, we always turn to Yelp for help for our dinner plans. Since we are traveling with the pooch, we are limited to take out. El Charrito looked pretty good, and we were not disappointed. The food was good, basic Mexican. Not sure what some of the less complimentary reviews were talking about, but we did not experience any of these issues. I had the Taco Salad and the hubby ordered the Pollo El Charrito. The shrimp on the Pollo El Charrito was very good. Both dishes were quite yummy. Also came with a generous bag of chips and some excellent red salsa. A nice combination of flavors in the salsa. My only thoughts about my meal was that perhaps it could have used a bit more heat. But that is probably due to the fact that we are used to Arizona food, where everything is hotter! read more

El Charrito - Love the food - Mexican Near Me - Mansfield, Ohio

Found this tiny place on our way to Columbus. Probably an hours drive. Wanted a quick bite, saw the yelp 4rating and went ahead. Loved the food. They give free chips and salsa. Liked the salsa, the chips were a tad bit thick. But it's free.. So no complaining.. :P Then came my order of pollo poblano and flan. Loved it. The veggies and meat were perfectly grilled. Pretty generous portions as well. Review - Authentic Mexican food decently priced. Wont be disappointed read more

We were staying at the nearby Hampton hotel. After an evening of tubing at the local ski/tube area we stopped by the El Charrito. The service was good. The beer was cold and the food was good. We eat Mexican regularly and this was as good or better than most. The price was reasonable also. Chips and salsa were top end. My only complaint is no Mexican imports on tap. read more

I had carnitas and they were tasty. The rice and beans both needed a little help in the seasoning department but some salt helped them along. The tortillas were quite tasty I think they may make them in house but I'm not sure on that. They were either fresh off the grill or out of the microwave either way they were yummy. The chips and salsa were also pretty good. I do have to admit that our service was on the slow side. Overall I'd go back if I was in the area for sure. They also have a margarita special for $1.99. read more

El Charrito - Had the Quesedilla special with chorizo...Delicious!! - Mexican Near Me - Mansfield, Ohio

Ate there 11/19/20, this was the worst Mexican food restaurant I've ever ate at. Was passing through from Texas, stayed at the travel lodge next door figured I'd walk next door and have dinner. Enchiladas was runny and the sauce was like spaghetti sauce, the beans were worse, rice was the only thing on the plate that was decent. $8 margaritas was pure sweet and sour, just overall experience was terrible. I was overcharged on every item. (Not by much,but still) and to top it off they charged 7% tax. I thought, wow, Ohio sales tax is 7%? I googled it and seen it's 5.75%. I asked "Ohio sales tax is 7%?" The lady said "I guess ". Ooook. Lol. Whatever. I left a 10% tip and went on my way. Next time I'll settle for the McDonald's next door. Yuck read more

Not as spicy as I would have liked but overall it was pretty good. Seemed like they were giving there enchiladas a sweeter taste. Which was the only disappointment. The establishment itself was clean and set up nicely. read more
