We had Lengua and Carnitas burritos and they were both real good. Especially the Lengua, I would say, because it had a lot of super fresh tender meat. I asked for the mild red sauce wet for this one. read more

Make sure you ask how much things are because their menu is wrong prices. Went in there today just get a simple bean and cheese burrito got three of them and he says 5.99. they tell me it's almost $23 I paid it and then I was doing the math in my head. And then I asked her why it was almost 23 she said that they changed the prices. read more

El Charro - Incorrect menu prices - Mexican Near Me - Hesperia, California

Food was good. It's definitely authentic but can use more flavor in my opinion. If you're picky with flavor I wouldn't recommend

Authentic fresh and fast Mexican food with average prices in comparison to other similar restaurants. On this visit I tried the 3 asada taco plate. Flavor of the tacos were outstanding but they are fairly small street tacos. Other than that it was very good. Cashier is super nice and friendly and gave great customer service. As far as the ambiance they are way overdue to update the dining area. The booths are in pretty bad shape and torn. Also very small with only 6 tables. Overall I will continue to eat here occasionally when I am in the area read more

Been coming to El Charro for years. We've ordered often and well close to $100 because we are a bigger family. Got an asada burrito this morning, and to my surprise there was a metal rivet in my food! I've never had an issue and always recommended them. Today I am over it. I'm sure it wasn't on purpose but you definitely gotta be more careful. Check your equipment, check your food prepared & so on. Unfortunately won't be returning, this could've been one of my kids! They are offering a refund. read more

El Charro - The metal Rivet I bit down on that came from my burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Hesperia, California

This is the best taco stop in the high desert! Friendly staff and reasonably priced. They offer many other food items besides tacos as well.

Decent little hole in the wall. I've gone on two seperate occasions to see how consistent the food was. It isn't. The burrito was much smaller the first time, and the second time it was bigger. The green Chile verde burrito was small but it was really really tasty! The bigger burrito was a carné asada and the meat was dry and the rice was hard. Very very inconsistent. I am giving 3 stars for that chilé verde because it is probably the best I've ever had and I have had it at so many places. Tastes really authentic. It kind of smells inside like a toilet, but I would still go back for that Chilé verde burrito. read more

If I can give it no stars I would. I found a hair in my burrito and the lady wanted to argue with me and say it wasn't a hair. I requested my money back and didn't even give me my exact change back. I asked for names so i can put it in this review and they denied that also. read more

I went for a asada burrito and I get home and I take one bite and something is off about the burrito that just takes really bad,so I call and ask them what's going on with my food and she's giving me a attitude the whole way not trying to help me with my issue.So I go and they "fix" my burrito while I can clearly hear them talking smack about me as they make it?!So when I get home it's the same issue with the burrito and it tastes just as bad.never taking my money or business back.The lady was rude af and even the owner was no help.NEVER AGAIN,Do not recommend this place at all read more

The food is good. I wish they would make chicken taquitos, I would be very happy! We like the street tacos, and burritos. They are all very nice in there. Prices are great! Just please make a choice of beef or chicken taquitos! Thank you El Charro! read more

Great local Mexican spot! Love their 99 cent tacos on Tuesdays. Salsa is fresh and their meat is tender. Always friendly and fast service. read more

My husband and I came here at 845pm on a Sunday night. This place closes at 9 but they still took our order and was very nice about it. I usually don't like to dine at places within 30 minutes of closing because I feel bad and also know that usually workers just want to go home. It this place was very nice. They're following physical distancing having tables not in use. They had little table outside also. All we ordered were 8 asada tacos, bottled drinks and chips and salsa. The tacos are small but they pack them full of meat. The tacos were very tasty. We definitely will be back again. read more

El Charro - Asada Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Hesperia, California

Ok , tried a few spots already in the high desert. More misses than hits. But this place was actually pretty good. Reasonably priced. Flavorful food. Friendly service. Recently tried the menudo and I would recommend it. Most places only have it on Sat/Sun but I picked up some from here on a Wednesday evening. Ordered some pozole too. Both are worth the price. I also have had a hard time finding good tripas tacas for the last 10 years since my friend showed me them in 2010. But this spot had good tripas tacos too. Not soft, but crunchy. So give this place a try. Hopefully you will like it too. read more

If I could give it a zero I most definitely would! We been here multiple times but this one time I bite in my burrito and it tasted horrible. So I called them and nicely asked if they can redo my burrito because it tasted very off and nasty. I get to the place and the "boss" of the place wants to charge me for that new burrito because I'm wasting her time and effort in creating another disgusting ass burrito. NEVER COMING BACK AND KEEP TALKING YOUR SHIT BEHIND THAT WINDOW. Next time we're catching hands for MY MONEY AND TIME. Nastiest salsa I've ever tasted read more

I used to work at a store across the parking lot. Every day for 8 months straight I ate lunch here and I still do drop by frequently. The staff are very nice and down to earth, and they recognize and socialize with repeat customers. The menu is varied and all of it is delicious. (I would know, God rest my arteries.) I love to go around the High Desert and try out new places, but this is definitely my "home" restaurant. My go-to order is the 3-taco-combo with cabeza, tripa and lengua. Their cabeza is the best I've tasted and the lengua is on par. The tripa is pre-cooked and finished in a deep fryer, which is untraditional but is very effective food prep and gives it a very satisfying crunch in between bites of the tender, stewed cabeza and lengua. Their salsa is made fresh and in-house, and you can snack on the pickled onions, carrots and jalapenos while you wait or while you enjoy your food. Their horchata is awesome too. Verdict? I love this place. Drop by and make some new friends and enjoy some great food. (Bonus points if you spot the thing with the chickens on the wall. It's like, fallen sideways and is always a fun thing to stare at while you sip your drink and wait for food.) read more

I've been eating at this establishment for over around 13 years crazy I know hahaha it's always been good one thing I will say this is the food always fast a little decedent depending on who is cooking it. My favorite taco from this place would be the carnitas. It is a little crunchy but so juicy just how I like it and the flavor is always on point. I have never liked the carneasada from this place sadly but the elpastor is also a hit and miss I have noticed. read more

The best authentic Mexican food in the desert in my opinion! I've never had a bad experience. This is the place I always recommend to family and friends. I always get a carne asada burrito. Make sure you grab your free spicy pickled carrots and onions! I hope this place is around forever! read more

The Tacos and Sopes are FANTASTIC! This is our new favorite taco shop in the High Desert.

I was so disappointed tonight with the service and food and I was missing food I always come here but today there was a new face at the counter not friendly she kept stopping to do other things it took 20 minutes for her just to write down our order we finally got our order 40 minutes later she put our order on the counter it sat there 10 minutes before she told us it was ready when I got home I was missing food and my food looked like a tornado hit it and worse part is the Mexican chocolate I ordered and paid $5 a cup was expired it tasted bad I took one sip of it I knew I called and spoke to the girl at the counter she said she was sorry I told her to taste it herself she said I can give you a discount if you like I won't be going back there again so disappointed and I left a tip read more

I've been coming to this restaurant In Hesperia for 15 plus years and the food and customer experience has stayed consistent and each time is as good as the first I'm glad they've been able to survive as long as they have.

This is by far a hidden gem if you haven't eaten here. Give it a try!!! I've been going here since I was 13! Always friendly staff and their food is amazing. Their salsa is homemade and soooooo delicious. I love el charro. Definitely my go to Mexican food spot. Yummmmm. read more

It's a little pricy but the meat has very good flavor, I would recommend the tacos de asada and pastor.

Reviews must be posted from friends or family because this place is a dump that maximizes profits by charging full price then gives you particles of what you ordered floating in beans, rice and/or potatoes. I felt ripped off, the place was dirty, the prices are what you would expect for a good place, but like many places in Hesperia it just plain sucks! Hesperia is full of Mexicans, and the Mexican food sucks? I don't get it. So much competition and so little good food. Kind of goes against reason. San Diego is full of great little taco shops, Cardenas can't even make good food up here. Make money with return customers, not by cutting everything with watery beans! I tried this place again hoping their "super nachos" might be good. Old chips, bland ingredients, scarce "chipped" meat. Everything was cold but the beans. $7.00 in the trash. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

I've lived here for 20+ years and have been to this place several times and been EXTREMELY disappointed every time. I had to finally leave a review because this is the last time I waste money and tonight is the last time I will ever go there. El pastor tacos were gamy tasting but lacked flavor as usual. I agree with other reviews about the food tasting bland, and the carne asada burrito was gross. The meat in the burrito was crunchy and without any flavor or marinade as well. I couldn't finish my food again. Same as all the other times. I also agree with other reviews about the salsa being weak and bland too. I don't understand why it doesn't come close to good Mexican food yet they charge a pretty penny for it. You want great Mexican, good go to El Torrito Meat Market on Hesperia Rd. That's the kind of food that leaves the yummy smell of their delicious Mexican food on your hands and in your mouth well after you've eaten there and with fresh ingredients. The only thing consistent about El Charro is that I feel ripped off as well. read more

Walking into El Charro was no surprise, tiny establishment located between two other tiny ones as well. The inside consisted of a register and a long walkway where the Seats were located at. Good Mexican food in the high desert is very hard to find as I had to learn the hard way. As we walked inside, there was a little ol' lady smiling at us, we ordered 4 tacos, an order of fries and a chile relleno. It came out to 15$ they took especially long to cook our order because a couple in front of us ordered so much food. I would of been upset if I was in a hurry. Once out food came, the lady thanked us for being so patient. I can honestly say the tacos Al Pastor were delicious. Wow, first time eating good tacos in the high desert! The carne asada was a little greasy but nothing that ruins it. There was a lack of salsas and other sides, but I will be coming back for tacos. Friendly, clean and most important cheap (1.25&) and delicious tacos! read more

Awesome food, with very friendly staff. ( My family and I will never go to Albertos again!)

Was excited to see what seems like a family owned Mexican restaurant and was even more excited to try it. Unfortunately I was disappointed. I ordered two tacos of asada, one of chicken, and one of carnitas. My bf ordered a carne asada burrito. All four tacos were extremely dry and tasted like it was just reheated on the grill as well as the burrito. The meat was dry to the point that parts of the meat were hard and had sharp edges. The horchata was good, but that's about the only good thing from this experience. To top it all off, we waited roughly 10 minutes for our food just to be served reheated meat, and the place was empty. read more

Nasty!!! I ordered tacos and they were taking very long so I decided to look over and the cook messed up on the order and instead of remaking the food.. he got a dirty wash cloth wiped the tortillas put the meat back on the cutting board and threw the tortillas on the grill!!!!! It was so disgusting and when saw that I looked he put new tortillas on the grill and told me he was going to save the meat for his lunch read more
