Very good ? I had the steak burrito with everything on it per the recommendation of the cashier, and let me tell you this burrito was to Mexican food what Arnold Schwarzenegger is to the human race. It was absolutely fantastic, so I had to try some of my dad's brisket torta, basically a brisket burger, also fantastic. 10/10, great food and my only regret is not leaving room for any ice cream from the place next door! Seriously great food tho, just the perfect place to stop when passing through.

Ordered via Grubhub. Service was very good. But my Fajita Quesadilla was very soggy and bland. It was supposed to have Pico, lettuce and sour cream included.. which was not. Disappointing.

We stayed a few nights in Carlsbad and the lady at the hotel recommended El Charro as the best street tacos and enchiladas in town. I had green chicken enchiladas and my friend had the brisket tacos. Super great food!! This is a very casual place, perfect after a day at Sitting Bull falls.

Worst burrito i ever had. Didnt even consider it a burrito. No meat nor rice. Just tortilla. Aint going back for a burrito again. You guys need to make an actual burrito not this.

It was some what okay, most of the people who work there are Spanish but they should have English translators for a couple of people who don't know Spanish, it was good but I didn't like the tomato sauce part <3

I'd say it's quasi "authentic", in that they are using some American ingredients that aren't normally on Mexican tacos (shedded cheese, etc). But still tasty and reasonably priced. Big staff working hard to process all the orders - clearly this is a popular local place. Worth a try but don't expect it to be exactly like Mexican street tacos. Good hybrid though.

Friendly service and employees and GREAT food. Also great prices!!! Awesome food!??

The food was authentic Mexican food very well served multi culture customer's best customer service and service with a smile fast service then next door is their fantastic dessert bar with plenty of Mexican culture snacks,candies and ice cream ? ? definitely need to try it YOU WILL BE BACK FOR SURE...

Wow. Being a California native who has lived in Florida for 28 years, I’ve missed authentic Mexican food. This place was amazing. Chicken red enchiladas were fantastic! Chicken street tacos and the fixings were amazing as well. Clean and nice atmosphere.

On vacation , locals said we should try this newly opened place.Ladies at front counter were inviting and friendly.We spent 40$ for 3 people, priced fairly.Food ok, I order brisket nachos. I felt there was intirely to much lettuce , jalapeno, tomatoes etc. I felt it had all the right incredients but too busy. Lastly the cheese was like out of a can, not shredded. ?The chips used tasted and looked store bought. I get they are all store bought but they didn't leave a good impression.Maybe being from Texas I had an expectation of what chips should taste like and what nachos should be. We have Tex Mex and Mexican cuisine but this was different and would not buy again.I think my wife and daughter enjoyed their street tacos. ?
