Excellent food, view and service !!! We are already planning another visit to this restaurant. The only downside was we ate upstairs and it was very warm. We ask for some air which they put on for about 5 minutes. Other customers were fanning themselves at their tables also More

Great food and fun ambiance. This is a small restaurant that fills up quickly but it is worth the wait. There is a second location in uptown Hoboken that does take reservations. More

I have never been to the one uptown so my review is only on the one downtown next to Rita's. To start it is small and cramped. You have to be prepared to be cramped while you sit and eat. That being said it is SUPER cute inside and a fun place to go with a few friends. It is... More

We absolutely loved this place! I went with my husband and another couple for dinner. They don't take reservations, but they took our cell phone number when we arrived, so we walked around town and they called us when our table was ready. It is a tiny storefront restaurant, maybe a dozen tables or so, but it didn't feel crowded.... More

We went there on Saturday night and had to wait for 20 minutes - which was okay. There are two charritos in Hoboken, we went to the one which is far from Hoboken station. The restaurant and bar area was full of people. It was very noisy because of the two large groups present in restaurant at that time. About... More

I ordered the Tampiquena. It was horrible. The beans were from a can, the rice was old, the steak was flavorless and undercooked, and the enchilada was made with American cheese, when I asked the waiter he said it was Pepper Jack Monteray cheese (really, it's actually In its earliest form, Monterey Jack was made by the Mexican Franciscan friars...

I had hear amazing things about Charrito's, but had never really had a reason to try it because I absolutely love Baja up the street. However, my friends and I decided to give it a try.
