Taqueria El Charro: Reviews & Ratings

Small but to the point. Great service, and the food comes out fast. You'll get full fast, most of the food items comes with tons of ingredients. The food is inexpensive and it tasted authentic. They also have "aguas frescas", the lemonade was the best. They include chips and salsa. They customized my food just how I wanted.

Stopped for breakfast tacos. I got potato & egg with white cheese and chorizo and egg and paid about $6. They made my tacos fresh while i waited, I didn't care for the chorizo (personal preference) but devoured the potato. Red salsa was good, not very spicy though and I wasn't offered green salsa. Definitely want to return and try the chilaquiles.

My first time visiting this family owned restaurant. I wanted a good breakfast taco place to visit. This was the place I chose based off the reviews and plus it isn't far from where I grew up. I ordered breakfast tacos, I was first skeptical about ordering a taco with eggs because I don't eat scramble eggs. But I must say, they won over my palate I ordered 3 tacos: (1) Huevos con Chorizo / Eggs with Potatoes (corn tortilla) , (2) Chorizo with potatoes (corn tortilla). The food is fresh and made to order! The tacos with egg was great especially since I don't eat scrambled eggs. I was asked did I want fresh pico de gallo, that is a plus! The owner and her staff were well patience with me ordering and great customer service. Thank you again! I already told my husband about the tacos so I'm sure we will be back.

Great hidden gem of a TexMex restaurant. We ordered a variety of different items from the a la carte menu. Everything was delicious from the crispy tostadas to the chicken and beef fajitas, even the refried beans and the salsa. Service was quick and the server was friendly. The dining room is on the smallish side but this just adds to the cozy and warm atmosphere. Perfect for a quick lunch meeting with clients, or a simple meal with friends or family. Don't miss out, try it, you will thank me!!
