"Great little restaurant in the heart of Girona. 20 stools Seating is diner style.Large portions of steak and fries at insanely cheap prices. Model thin women chowing down on enormous portions of short ribs and fries. Always packed by 10pm with locals and visitors alike. Nice selection of local and Argentinian wines, beer Estrella Damm and assorted soft drinks. Languages spoken Spanish, Catalan, English and Russian...maybe more !!! Prepared salads as an option to fries with oil and vinegar on the side made with Arugula, Friese, tomatoes and sweet onions. No chicken on the menu anymore as the massive rotisserie oven has finally died. Another option is the veal or empanadas with meat or vegetarian. These are hand made daily and heated in the microwave. The steaks are grilled to perfection and served with a scrumtious home made Chimichurra on the side. You can watch them prepare your meal in the open kitchen. Background music can range from Django Rheinhart to Amy Winehouse. This local eatery has no shortage of laughter and loud converstaions. Sixty nine year old Chef Eduardo Raphael Portesio is a master of the grille and quite the charactor. Along with Eduardo is his female staff Ayelen and Viktoria, they are fluent in at least 4 languages or you can always point to the menu. This is Girona 's version of Cheers where you are greated with a friendly smile or if you 've been there more than once, a big bear hug. You can eat in or order take out. Grab a seat and order a glass of the house wine at a very reasonable 1.50 Euros. El Carrito is open for lunch from 12 2pm and dinner from 8pm til Midnight. They are closed Mondays and Tuesdays."
