STOP. Come inside & eat some great Mexican food…read more I'm from LA was passing by and was craving Mexican food. Immaculate tasting food This is NO JOKE, hands down, one of the best tasting Mexican foods I've had around this area. Their beans are vegetarian which is nice if you're someone who loves Mexican food & is vegetarian Food: Birria tacos- juicy, fatty, cooked to perfection. The consume is amazing, flavorful, & has pieces of meat. Steak plate- the steak was medium rare, little char grilling to it. Seasoned well & cooked nicely. The bed or grilled squash was hands down AMAZING. I don't know how they seasoned it, but the char on the veggies were perfect. Bone marrow plate- delicious, Juicy, fatty, and filling. The flour tortillas were the perfect touch to a filling plate. Just the right amount of food There is minimal seating inside. The area was clean. There is a restroom inside as well. Overall, an amazing hole in the wall, great Mexican restaurant. The owner took our order, was kind, & attentive to us. Definitely will be recommending this place to our friends who live close by!

Tables needed wiped, floor needed swept, no ice in soda fountain, behind the counter was disorganized 2 We ordered chips and salsa and burritos. They Didn't bother to tell us the burritos included chips and salsa (we would have ordered a different side) 3 The burritos were good but were mostly rice 4 The food was way overpriced for what we received. A lot more expensive than something comparable Dos Coyotes or Chipotle 5 fountain sodas were $4+ 6 There were no Latinos working there which I find odd for a Mexican restaurant Because the place was not very clean, there was no ice, and the poor value (my husband and I can afford it but we just felt like it was comparable to paying $2.50 for a can soda from a soda machine when most machines these days are $1 per can) we will not be returning to The Char any time soon.

The tacos were delicious just the right amount of juice, spices and cheese. The burrito had a special type of bean, not your typical pinto or black bean. I think it may have been the peruvian beans? Service was quick, we ate in the space and it had a cute ambiance. There are also small mexican pastry items. They had a churro that had a little bit of extra spice.

We got three tacos: the pastor, quesataco, and chicken. The quesataco had the most flavor, and the rest were just ok. The chicken was overcooked, dry, and tasted old. I did find their salsas at the salsa bar to be very good, but the chips were stale, cold, and too salty. Overall, I'd still give them another try and would like to try more items here!

Each taco had a generous amount of meat, was well-prepared, and tasted fresh. The real game changer, though, was adding the jalapeño cream sauce along with a few salsas from the salsa bar which took the tacos to another level. If I could, I'd give this place 6 stars just for that! Also, I'd recommend the cucumber lime agua fresca drink. It tasted refreshing and the perfect amount of each flavor. Their menu has a great variety of options, and I noticed several people ordering the dinner plates, which looked absolutely massive. I also saw them bring out a sizzling hot skillet that I could hear from a few tables down. You definitely get your money's worth here. The service was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly fast. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the salsa bar was fresh, organized, and full of appetizing choices. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

The interior is bare bones. There are only four tables inside. We came at a good time- before the lunch rush. We walked to the counter to peruse the menu. There were several items that weren't available. I ordered the steak and the shrimp mix with chicken zip tacos. I enjoyed the exterior of the tacos because it was slightly crispy with cheese. Of the two, I enjoyed the shrimp one more. While I enjoyed the tacos, I don't know if they are far much better than other tacos I've had.

It's clear they put their heart into everything they do. If you're looking for authentic tacos made with care, this is the place. Keep up the fantastic work--we'll be back for many more years!

Last time we were there I thought I was able to get just plain tortillas from the tortillas lady spot. But she looked confused then I asked for a few flour tortillas. She asked what meat I wanted to make street tacos. That's fine the pork tasted very good. But I like plain tortillas with the eggs and other dishes. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I guess next time we will ask the server. We started with the omelets this time. Very good and well made. We tried many things, hard to take pictures. It was very busy and carrying a plate didn't work well when taking pictures.

The portions have been cut in 1/2 for a lot of menu items here over the last 5 years namely the chimichangas but seems like everything else too. The chimichangas used to be twice the size they are now and were loaded with cheese. Now they have no cheese and 1/2 the filling so there mostly flour tortilla now. Very disappointing and the plates they use now are smaller, they used to serve the food on these huge platters. Anyway went there last night (1st time in 3 years) and this is the plate I got. The 2 chimichangas are now the same size as the tamale on the other side of the plate.The service was terrible too. We did not get our food until almost an hour and by the time the food showed up we were full from the chips and bean dip and salsa wich by the way we had to wave them down several times as we seemed invisible to refill the chips and our drinks. We wont be going back again for probably another 3 years. I highly recommend Felipe's in Citrus heights on Auburn blvd. Way better value and the food quality is on par with el tapatio but with five star service!
