El Charrito

Strong stinch as you enter the restaurant which should have deterred me but I decided to stay much to my regret. Started with a batch of chips and salsa. The salsa was fresh and decent flavor but the chips had no salt and seemed store bought however the waitress indicated they were made in-house. Taco platter with Spanish rice and refried beans arrived and looked appealing... But.... Looks can be deceiving though. It seemed that every effort was made to make the dish as flavorless as possible. The beef slop in the taco was bland and soupy. The taco shell was some form of cheap fried corn tortilla. Thankfully the lettuce and tomato were fresh. The salsa on the taco at least gave some flavor. The beans missed any aspect of refried. No garlic, salt or any other seasoning. And the Spanish rice was a sad state of overcooked rice with some sort of red coloring that did little to add any flavor. Even at the lunch special of $8.99 the plate was overpriced for the taste.

Smells awful in the building which should have been my sign to leave. Queso was decent, taco was okay. Tamales absolutely disgusting, rice and beans absolutely zero flavor. The longer I live in Georgetown the more I realize no one knows what good Mexican food is.

I've ordered lots of bacon, egg and cheese breakfast burritos from this place in the past month. Unfortunately, they are not paying attention to their prep & I received a massive chunk of fat in my burrito. I did stop by the next day and I showed this picture as well as discuss my concerns. The guy scoffed at me and acted offended that I didn't appreciate the extra bacon they gave me! I guess they do not understand that breakfast burritos are supposed to be portable and without choking hazards. FYI be careful with their potatoes bc they are roughly the same size as that chunk of fat.

Inside dining was closed but the takeout was open. We had fast service. The tacos were hella greasy but tasted good. Might have a heart attack later, but worth it.

Good salsa, had the two tacos and loved the slightly grilled flour tortillas. Charro beans were fantastic. Steak fajita meat was great; didn’t prefer the barbacoa but probably a personal preference. Bathroom had a smell that was leaking into the restaurant. Overall very authentic flavor, kind staff and definitely worth a visit.
