Had lunch with our daughter and two grandsons and had a excellent meal. Friendly service and they were very nice making off-the-menu grilled shrimp tacos one of the boys wanted. The other boy had street tacos and our daughter had one of the lunch specials. All three were impressed with the food in our local Mexican eataria. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is amazing! Been here a few times now and absolutely love the ambiance and traditional Mexican cuisine![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff are wonderful and friendly and the place is often busy so plan accordingly. I ordered the Molcajete dish and it was absolutely delicious! Their tomatillo and chipotle sauces are fire. For breakfast, try the Mateo's burrito! Very filling and tasty! read more

Service was great, all servers checked on us throughout our visit and gave us everything we needed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was clean and had nice booths and chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the food was amazing. Only thing not pictured was the 5 mix tacos- had the guisada and pastor. (You can only pick two meats for the 5 tacos and they were small street tacos jsyk) Guisada was made in a gravy type sauce and the pastor was very flavorful. Two sauces were brought to the table for tacos green and red. Both were equally as great. Breakfast tacos were a good size and great flavors. Overall a great experience for a quick stop while on our way back home. read more

Salsa was okay, guac was very good. Street tacos had a great presentation and a nice flavor, nothing to write home about. Shrimp cocktail was also pretty good, I just prefer smaller shrimp. Margarita was okay too, and I'll write about it here, but still not writing home. The service was a bit standoffish. They worked well as a team but seemed absent at times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is good, they put a lot of effort into it and it's nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, it was good, and reasonably priced. read more

We went here the other day because we normally go to el rancho but it was closed. The food was ok service ok but they appeared short staffed. If I couldn't go to el rancho then this is a second choice in burnet read more

**** UPDATE: CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!! I ordered the Super Combo and on the menu it says $12.99. On my receipt, they charged me $13.59. It's definitely not the $$... it's the principal. We are gone now and it's done. But I will never go back. Rude and shameless. Not a good "combo"... pun intended! It's a Sunday. They are busy. And they are grumpy. Not a single person has cracked a smile at us. They don't speak other than to say "what do you want to order?"... not off to a great start as far as the service goes. On the bright side, the chips and salsa are pretty darn good! Ok. Finished our meal. Never once did the server(s) come back and do a check to see if we needed anything. I mean AT ALL. We sat with empty glasses and needed napkins. The food is good. The service is 0 (zero) ... read more

We visit here often; the food is consistently very good. It's our favorite spot in Burnet. We've learned a few things. When it's very busy, make sure you get everything when the waitress drops off the food, because you might not see her again. You might have to go to the bar to get your drink refilled. The cashier will have your bill. It's no big deal for us, just FYI. read more

This is a great place to eat! The food is wonderful and service is excellent (if they are not swamped which can happen - according to the time of day or evening). [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not a big roomy restaurant but if you don't mind crowds[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] l recommend it to the nth! read more

Stopped on our way to a retreat. Reasonably priced. Food was good. My hubby enjoyed the homemade corn tortillas! Salsa had a nice mild/medium spice to it. I had the street taco with carne guisada and asada. He had enchiladas. Service was great. Would we come back? Absolutely! read more

For a small town Mexican joint, this place rocks the 281 corridor! I thought it was just a dive ... but finally tried it. The verdict? A pleasant surprise. Great drinks, good service, and tasty food. read more

Good food! Good margaritas! My dad always gets this 1/2 of a pineapple, I think full of fajita meat. Look's amazing. I've loved everything I've gotten there. Queso is rich and buttery with just a little bite. Mexican Coke, and even the Flan is yummy. Unlike every chain in the country, staff aren't a bunch of kids who could care less, here it's mostly their family, some don't speak English, making it more authentic IMO. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They totally remodeled inside and out, and keep making more and more upgrades and decorative touches, it just gets nicer and nicer![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have several other locations in central Tx, I haven't been but eventually will when opportunity arises. read more

My child had to bring in an outside meal due to dietary restrictions. Not a big deal. She wanted to eat out with us. It took 30 minutes to get drinks and order. My child got her meal out to eat and we were asked to have HER leave "unless she was autistic". While I understand the rule, dietary restrictions wasn't acceptable to them. Also, it isn't acceptable at all to make me state my child is autistic. We walked out with lots of words flying at us. Too bad. We were ready to spend money on our breakfasts and tip well. read more

The food is decent, but it is never hot. The last three times I was here. I kept saying I'm just going give it another try because my mom really likes to come here, but neither one of us will ever be back because every single woman that works in there is RUDE. So I'm only going to write about our last experience there. We came at lunchtime and we were pretty much the only female customers in the building that were having lunch. The rest of the customers were pretty much men... With that being said we had to go up and ask for chips and our drinks after waiting 13 minutes AFTER being seated. They just kept walking past us and bringing the men who were there drink after drink after drink and they refilled their chip baskets at least 3 to 4 times.. I'm not sure what their problem is with us! We are always so nice and we tip really good. Maybe they just don't like other women. Idk. But I will never be back because they literally give you dirty looks, roll their eyes at you and slam your food down on the table. One waitress slammed my son's plate on the table so hard that his taco LITERALLY flew off the plate.. then she just walked away. Rude, not professional and just all around terrible. If I could say one thing, I guess it's that at least their customer service is consistent! Because no matter what.. they're always rude. I worked in customer service for 10 years and I never employed someone who behaved the way that these women do. read more

In our little town there are not a lot of restaurants. But there are several Mexican restaurants. After trying all of them, we decided that our favorite is El Charro due to the great service that we receive from Andrea. She always makes sure that we are taken care of even when she is not the one covering our table. The food is good, you will enjoy it but the real reason that you will return to El Charro is for the great service that Andrea and her team provide. read more

Great place, good food, good service and reasonably priced. I have 1 small complaint and that is that they use Pepper jack cheese in their queso. It's too spicy for little ones. read more

Stopped in passing through town and had a quick breakfast. I had two tacos. This place is super cheap at $1.59 per taco. I had the bacon and egg tacos. With their salsa I felt they were tasty. They were not the beat and on a scale of 1-10 I would rate these a 5-6. read more

Hacienda El Charro - Bacon and Egg tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Burnet, Texas

still my favorite Mexican place in town or really between burnet and marble falls. [[HIGHLIGHT]]only time it's too loud in there is where it's a full house in clouding their small bar and EVERYONE is having conversations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I adore all the upgrades they have done to this building from the new facade out front to the murals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the food is still very affordable which is seriously appreciated since all the rest of the small business places like this are pretty much ripping people off with their prices. service is fast but not suspecious fast. servers and helpers are great. it wouldn't help them to have a designated mixologist so when someone asks for a drink from the bar that's not what the servers are used to getting it can be perfect. I had asked for a "stirred martini no olive with a twist" a pretty simple martini, pretty simple mixed drink considering. the server did great asked a male there who appeared to be the manager who might not have understood the order or just got her confused because he left her to make it and while it was a fantastic martini I still ended up wasting those olives I was trying not to waste. my only real complaint and it's probably hopefully their next project: their large back parking under the trees...fill those HUGE holes, pave it, put a sign up saying no empty trailers cuz that's what keeps destroying that back parking where there is paving (keep the trees please we need those). food here is great all day! read more

The street tacos rock! The service was great. They are all super friendly. I highly recommend this place for some good Mexican food.

Sorry but this restaurant has lost the business of the party of 10 that came in for lunch today. First ask for a 10 top and they they we can take a 6 top and a booth, so we move the 6 top over to the booth and they say we can't move the table. Waitress takes our drink order and we have no chips and salsa. We have been here many times in the past and they always bring out the chips when you set down, manager tells us you don't get chips till you order your food. WTH! Well we finally get some chips and one bowl of salsa. Food arrives and we need some drink refills and they forget to bring them back. We had to leave before other guests at our table because it took too long for the food to arrive. The last guest to pay told the manager what he had and the manager tells he can't leave till he pays for 2 extra tortillas that someone else ordered. Epic fail by the so called manager. I hope that if you read this you will think twice before dining there. I normally don't write bad reviews but with this place I had to. read more

Migas were very good...just watch out for this spicy jalapeños! I also enjoyed my pancake. Mostly, I appreciated how knowledgeable the waitress was about the ingredients used. I learned the hard way that many authentic Mexican restaurants use non-vegetarian ways to prepare their food. FYI, neither the beans nor rice here are vegetarian. Overall, I enjoyed eating here and would come back. read more

Well if u order bean potato and bacon and get egg on your taco, don't be surprised if they come back and say no u didn't!! Not the first time they have gotten that breakfast taco order wrong!! They wanted me to bring back the tacos!! I live 30 min away! I ask for credit for next visit no can do and that's when she said oh I remember now u ask for egg !!! For Pete sake is it that difficult to say u made a mistake I definitely don't eat egg on my tacos and no I didn't order egg but getting these girls to admit when they are wrong goes beyond my comprehension! Keep your bad attitude and your tacos I am done and over u guys read more

Don't let the outside fool you the inside is beautiful.. great friendly service.. The food is really really good! Fresh homemade corn and flour tortillas! Fresh home made delicious salsa. Honestly I was not wanting to come and I am so pleasantly surprised we have found a new place!!! I feel it is better than the other Mexican restaurants in the area! Nice real white plates too!! lol! Not the plastic ones! I should have taken a picture of our food!! read more

Hacienda El Charro - nachos and chips on a table - Mexican Near Me - Burnet, Texas

Customer service yet again. When my husband orders shrimp tacos over the phone and you repeat it back to him and we go and pick it up and it's Asada street tacos. The waitress has the nerve to come up to me to tell me my husband was wrong and she let me know it was asada that my husband told her. She kept arguing with me and over what? I'm the customer. I know what we placed with you. She was very rude! The food here is really good, minus the customer service! read more

Food has never disappointed. Always hot when I pick to go orders up. Wish they had a bigger place!

We tried this place on a whim after working in the yard all day. It did not disappoint. Very good food, service and quaint little place. We will be back for sure!! read more

This is quite frankly the worst customer service I have ever experienced. We didn't even get to the point of ordering food before we left the restaurant. To the two girls that decided to argue with us about the volume of the tv -- I bet your boss is thrilled with the 10 paying customers you just made leave. 0/10 recommend read more

Second time here and my opinion is the same. The food is good but the service is so terrible, it is just not worth it.

We love Yelp as it helps fine tune where we eat. Once again, Yelp led us to a great place. The food here was fabulous!! The pace was slow and at first it felt like we were forgotten but then I recalled eating in Europe where they make special dishes as you order, no exception here. The street tacos were with the 30 mile drive. The fajita Gravy bowl as we now call it .... true Delight. Service was polite, presentation excellent and flavors similar yet not identical to most of the Texas tex mex we eat. It's unique flavor will bring us back, reminds us of eating in Mexico. read more

This place kicks ass! I'm gonna be real, when I first rolled up to this beat up shack, in the middle of nowhere, I was just thinking how I was going to have to call an exorcist to get it out of me afterward. Boy was I wrong. The hospitality was incredible and they treated me and the boys like we were part of the family. Ivan was a real dude about everything and went out of the way to get us food, even off the menu. When the food showed up to the table, I had to take a moment to watch everyone's eyes light up. Our food was so good, it almost made us angry because we weren't sure we'd ever have it again. I didn't want to believe it. Fast forward 24 hours. Me and my boy were feeling something in the pits of our stomachs. Was it hunger? No, it was something more. It was like there was a missing piece that could only be filled with some more of this delicious tasty food. Day two, We drove out of the way to get here and were, once again, greeted like we were regulars. But this time, we had a lovely lil lady named Pearl. Pearl was so legit. She knew what we wanted more than we did. I'm writing this, now, post tummy top-off, in nirvana (Not like the band). I'm fulfilled and satisfied, once again. It was everything and more, both times around. If you're in this area, do the right thing and come here. It will be worth it, trust me. read more

Don't waste your time going here. Most rude manager and crazy seating rules. When last guest was paying manager demanded he pay for 2 tortillas that he didn't have. Come on man. read more

I went to this place today for lunch with 10 of my Pickleball Friends. This place refused to let 10 guests sit together. They were unwilling to let us push 2 tables together so we could all sit together and talk. After we ordered our drinks we asked for chips and hot sauce. A guy came over and told us that they didn't put out chips and hot sauce until your order was taken. I have been to this place many times and this is the first time I heard that one. It is now my opinion that this place is managed by some idiots. You go to a place with your friends and for some service accommodation and you get treated like that! Neeedless to say I won't be returning to this place. I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars in this place before. But I guess that doesn't matter to the owner as long as you keep those tables in place. Sorry waitresses...you were the ones who suffered today with a Zero service tip...I feel bad about that but it was a terrible experience! These guys are lucky to get the one star rating...since you can't pick zero! read more

Never received chips and salsa, food was good, water tasted like mildew (city water). Inattentive wait staff
