Charrito's House

OMG. THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD. From our first bite (the homemade chips are so good) to the sopapillas (the best I have ever had) the food is incredible! And the decor is so fun!! And the service is perfect!! You must stop here and eat. Go hike in the lake aPalmer area and stop here to eat before 2pm when they close u til 4 pm. You're welcome!!

Overall: 8/10Food: 8/10Service: 8/10Ambiance: 8/10Value: 7/10We love this place. It's local to us and we're here all the time. The food is great and the service is friendly and helpful. My personal favorites are the Plato Loco ($$$) and the three item combo ($$). Their margs are awesome and plentiful as well. Stop on if you're in the neighborhood.

This place was recommended by a friend and definitely a drive from where I live so if you're nearby, I do suggest to go by as a family owned restaurant. The vibe is beautiful, and the food was delicious along with my beverage. They say the mocajete was where to go so that's what I had. It did not disappoint, but I can't say it was the best. That's just a preference. overall, an amazing restaurant.

Continuing our search for anything resembling good Mexican or TexMex, we ventured south of the border (the Castle Rock border, that is) to Larkspur. A few different people had recommended Charrito's House, so we gave it a try. The 3.5 star average is pretty accurate. First, the little house and somewhat dated, rustic setting is kind of neat. We were greeted and seated promptly. The menu is huge, and a lot looks good. I ordered the combination fajitas, and my daughter had the shredded beef enchiladas.Chips and salsa are both quite good. Salsa has a nice flavor with a bit of a bite at the end. Be aware, the first bowl of chips is free. After that, they'll charge $2.50/bowl and not tell you unless you ask. We saw that in the menu, but they're pretty quick to ask if you want more chips (of course we do, but not if we're paying for them).Food came out after a bit of a wait, but nothing too long. Unlike most other places, the fajitas were actually sizzling, so that's something. There wasn't a ton of meat, and what was there was kind of scrawny; however, both the steak and chicken had good taste, and combined with the peppers, onions, homemade Guac, condiments, and rice and beans (which were both fine), I had plenty of food. Of course, I took a pic of the sides but somehow forgot the fajitas. How did I do that?!? They'll also charge for substitutions. Even though I held the sour cream and other things, they charged $1.50 for an extra dollop of Guac.My daughter thought the enchiladas were ok. Not the best or worst she's ever had. I'm guessing she'd try something else if we decide to come back.We split an order of sopapillas for dessert. They were cooked perfectly and had great flavor, other than the strong amount of salt. Not sure if something was messed up in the batter or what should've been sugar and cinnamon, but they were quite salty. I guess mixed with the other flavors and honey, it wasn't THAT bad. We did eat them after all. Service was ok. Definitely not rushed. We had to ask for refills a few times, but overall, it was fine.So in the end, another 3.5 star experience. I'd come back if we were in Larkspur and hungry, but we probably wouldn't rush back down from Castle Rock with so many other options nearby.

Call first even though hours are posted they may be closed. We have done take out and dine in. The food is authentic Mexican and many love the taste! I am a bit skeptical of the environment and cleanliness of what "we can't see"...I have not felt well following a couple of meals.

The food is fabulous! My family is vegetarian and I am vegan. They were EASILY able to take care of us and feed us according to our dietary needs. (They do not use lard, either.) We were served quickly and the server was very responsive and attentive. She made us feel like we were family. The ambience is nice, with Mexican-American restaurant decor. I wish I had found them earlier. I kept driving past when I would go home and I'd look at Charritos, thinking it "was a really small restaurant that would take forever to be served". I was so wrong!! The size is much bigger than you would imagine! The ambiance is wonderful, the service is great, and the food is fantastic! don't hesitate, try them out!

The food was delicious and served in a very appealing way. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. It has a nice deck that will be wonderful as the weather gets warmer will definitely be back.

Fantastic staff, fantastic food, fantastic ambiance. This place deserves more business, and you should come here. Literally zero complaints. White queso!!!

Excellent food in a cozy little restaurant. If you're driving through larkspur, don't miss it! Super friendly service and staff as well.

Friendly people, great food, great atmosphere. We love this place and go here every chance we get!
