On the way back from seeing my friend laid to her final rest, I stopped by El Charro. I've intended to go for a long time. They were somehow missed on my Great Waco Guisada Tour a couple of years ago.This is a charming place with some nice artwork. It was empty except for three Mexican men having a meal. The servers were wonderful and so friendly and attentive.They had the crispy, light chips that I like. The highlight was the salsa. So very good. They must use some different spice or pepper. It was pretty hot, but not too hot for me given my recent spicy food kick. I brought some home for movie watching tonight.The carne guisada wasn't spicy at all. There was plenty of delicious, beefy gravy and it was so good wrapped in a corn tortilla. The rice was plain. The beans were okay. They needed some spice. A little of the red salsa cured that.Iced tea tastes so good with spicy food. I had several glasses on this hot day.
Food was delicious but the barbacoa was nothing like Lolita's was grease n didn't taste good !!
Don't bother, over priced and gross.Dry tortillas old sweet tea and flavorless salsa..Very disappointed.
Been going to this place since I was a kid. I even remember when it was a truck stop! Love the breakfast plates and their menudo it's amazing, the ladies special is my lunch favorite! The transformation over the years is amazing!! Keep it up
Have eaten here since i was a kid, im now almost 50. Nice little family run place with good food across the board. Order anything with confidence but the ladies special and baylor specials are a great way to get a taste of the different dishes and settle on one for later nights out.
The food is always delicious and staff very friendly.
MY FAVORITE SPOT FOR MENUDO I RECOMMEND UT IF U LIKE GREAT MENUDO
Food was fine. Never got refills on our drinks.
Tasty food, good service, and good prices!
The very BEST Mexican food restraint in Waco, Texas located on LaSalle Avenue right off the Circle. El Charos has been my favorite place to eat since I was A child, I believe they were located on Circle road back then in th early 1970s. My Dad would bring me there for lunch when we worked at a paint and body shop nearby. The food and plates are always hot fresh and affordable considering how they just load the plate with so much delicious authentic Mexican food and hot fresh homemade tortillas. The recipes have stayed the same, it still taste the same as it did 45 years ago!I highly recommend El Charles for any and all occasions and I do believe they cater as well!Many thanks to ElCharro' Resteraunt staff and owners for helping me relive my childhood with my Dad!
