El Charrito's-Helena's Original Restaurante

Tried their new restaurant yesterday, we both ordered the golden taco dinner with a full order of chips, the food was mediocre at best, the chips really being the best part of the meal , the stew beef was very salty and nothing was hot, service was absolutely horrible for a meal that cost us $60 which is almost double what we used to pay when they were in their old location across the street .

Atmosphere was good, but food was just not good at all. See plenty of the reviews saying the exact same thing.
Only thing we requested was no onions and was hard to find something they could make without onions which is odd unless it's prepackaged. Got the chicken chimmie and a side of rice.. Ate about half of it. Don't want to just complain but it was literally canned chicken in a tortilla with no seasoning. And the rice...lol full of onions go figure. Didn't eat the rice but pretty sure it was just uncle bens rice with onions added. The chips not being free was a bit shocking, since they put a bowl of salsa down then came back and asked if we wanted chips and then charged us for them, while every other Mexican restaurant offers them for free. But after all that, it was a small amount of stuff that we got and bill was near $50. Quite excessive to be honest. And for the first time after leaving a restaurant we both actually have stomach aches by the time we got home. We gave it a shot, by far not worth it with other options in town. Maybe other people will like it.

Great food, price seems to go up on same order, over priced

We came in about 45 minutes before they closed and were last ones to leave. Staff was patient and friendly! Food was amazing and portions are enough for a meal the next day! Looking forward to their expansion across the street!

Overpriced big time, chips should be complimentary as an order of fajitas was 27 bucks and extra tortilla is a dollar 29, won't be back, we could have had a steak somewhere for that price!

First time eating here will also be our last. I wanted to order chicken street tacos and was told that I could only get steak and it could not be substituted. Very frustrating if you don't eat red meat. We were not told that the chips and salsa cost money..usually their free at other establishment s. The hamburger meat my husband got had no seasoning and was very bland. The side of beans we did order were crusty and seemed old. While we do enjoy supporting local businesses our total bill was over $65 dollars and for the food that was served to us, it was absolutely not worth what they were charging. We will avoid this place and spend our money elsewhere. On a plus the chips and salsa was good.

We haven’t been in the area for about 8 years. We were looking forward to dining here again. Their gravy on the wet burritos is unique and delicious. After seeing some reviews we were apprehensive about coming back, but we’re sure glad we did! It was just as good or better as before. My husband got the chicken fajita salad and was very pleased with it too. We’re here for several days and will be sure to eat here again before we leave. Thank you El Charrito’s!!

Worst food ever. Would not rethink place to anyone. The chicken enchiladas where dry and tasty less. No flavor in anything. Was not worth the $60. We will never go back we work to hard for our money to throw it away at this restaurant.

Ordered 12 pack regular tacos soft shell nothing special and was charged for golden which is fried. When I brought up the error to the manager she refused to adjust the bill to the correct price and called the police. I have never been to a place where if you ordered something and were billed to much they didn't adjust the price. She even told me she was sorry about the misunderstanding but still refused to adjust the bill
