El Charrito Market - Gilroy

Feb 2022 UPDATE: The food is still wonderful and the staff is still incredibly sweet. We ate here on both segments of a family road trip, a few days apart, and when I ordered the same thing (huaraches con salsa roja) on my second visit, the señora asked me, vegano otra vez? I was thrilled to be remembered I 'm not especially notable looking, she is just that nice. She prefers to speak Spanish, and while my Spanish is still terrible, I 'm always delighted for the opportunity to practice without feeling like I 'm wasting someone 's time. My omnivore family also wants everyone to know that the meaty dishes are good too, so if you need to feed a mixed crowd, here you go. If I lived closer I 'd come here every week. JAN 2020 REVIEW: The food is terrific and the staff is so sweet. I 'm so glad people are finding this place through Happy Cow! I added it a few months ago and now that I 've been twice, it 's time to review. I leadfooted it up from San Luis Obispo and arrived ten minutes before closing, but the señoras were incredibly nice about it not only did they make me a splendid tacos dorados plate to go (crunchy tacos with beans and potatoes and pico de gallo, plus rice and beans), but they brought me a bowl of warm chips and salsa while I waited, *and* put up with my terrible Spanish. The chips are obviously homemade from homemade tortillas, and as golden and flaky as a good croissant (as are the shells of the tacos dorados). And the salsa is fantastic cool and spicy, with both tomatoes and tomatillos. Last time I was here I got the huarache essentially a long flat cornflour pancake stuffed with beans and topped with salsa verde and onions I am a huarache fan and it was one of the best I 've had. I also spent a long time mulling over the vegan menu, and when I ordered the huarache the server made sure I knew that it usually came with dairy cheese and that I could get it without. Sweet folks and great food. The other half of the business is a small grocery, so while you wait for your food you can stock up on local avocados or cacahuetes japoneses.

Tamale was pretty good and they have a red version with veggies that I would like to try next

Ordered the potato Enchilada’s with red sauce. The plate comes with rice and refried beans. The red sauce on the enchiladas with exceptional along with the flour tortillas. However the potatoes inside could’ve used some seasoning. Definitely will try this place again

Haven’t had flautas since going vegan so it was great to see potato ones on the menu. Everything looked fresh and tasted great. Nice sauces with a good amount of spice.

This place is a total jewel north of the city of gilroy, I have included a photo of the menu, but they also have a certain vegan menu that they receive on request for them. they are also very accommodating when it comes to gluten sensitivity (all we have ordered was gf/v: potato enchiladas with tasty red sauce potato tabine, tofu-erggie scrambble, plantains for dessert, freshly pressed abl.) ask for extra red soße, it was good with the fool. all the staff were so helpful and friendly, we will definitely turn on again when we make the trip to sf. updated by previous review on 2021-12-22
