This place didn’t disappoint. Oyster were on point. I’m a fan of home pads tortillas and they definitely delivered. Chips and salsa were also amazing. I ordered the alambre! Hit the spot. Waitress was nice, friendly and on point. I would definitely come back when in town. Place does look abandoned but it’s a gem!

Got burritos for breakfast. They were made fresh but did not take long at all. Definitely a great place to grab a burrito on the go.

¡Buen provecho! My beautiful sister from El Paso came to visit so we chose to eat here. Such a great choice! We ordered a barbacoa burrito. It was a huge size burrito. The barbacoa meat was chopped well with great texture and nicely tendered. The enchiladas were filled with plenty of ground beef and were oh so cheesy! The migas plate was also nicely cooked. The tortilla strips were crispy, and the scrambled eggs were mixed well with plenty of peppers and onions. ¡FANTASTICO!

This was our first visit to El Charro. The server was really nice and the food tasted great. We went about 930am so it wasn't business until we nearly finished. My only issue was the food was not hot. It was warm but not hot. We didn't say anything though, as we don't like to send food back. Other than that it was good. I would go again.
