I have made this my new go-to spot for fantastic tacos and horchata! Very authentic, make sure you ask for spicy! The owner is very friendly and makes the experience just that much better. Go support this mom-and-pop place!
We drove all the way from saskatoon to calgary and we always make sure this is our first stop before we do anything 5/5 cant be beat. The prices are extremely reasonable as well
Super delicious and authentic. The flavours were full and you can have your option or mild, medium or spicy.
Will definitely need to go back are they more things.
The Barbacoa were fantastic!
Okay, the decor leaves much to be desired, they don’t serve booze. But , if you want the real deal, and the best price in tacos, without feeling like the restaurant is doing you a favour then this is the place to indulge in your Mexican tooth!
Have a hankering for late night eats? Don’t want to default to McDonald’s? There are options! Such as Charrito Mexican Taqueria. No frills here, with a cafeteria look, this restaurant strictly sticks to serving up authentic Mexican. Sit in to catch some football on tv, but your best bet is for takeout.
I’ve been to El Charrito Taqueria a few times and not sure why it has taken me so long to write a review.
This is a mom and pop shop that offers unbelievable value for tacos. Tacos are $2.25 each EVERY DAY – no more waiting for Taco Tuesdays cuz every day is Taco Day now. Meat choices for your tacos are steak, pork, chicken, shredded beef, beef tongue and chorizo. They also have Barbacoa Tacos for $3.45 each, which are shredded beef (no choice of meat) served in two 6” corn tortillas that are fried (crispy).
On the weekends, they offer menudo soup – tripe in red chili pepper base soup $12.50. I thought it was a bit bland (not sure if that’s how it is supposed to taste) and would not order it again.
Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with their tacos - especially at those prices!
This place is a staple for me. It's really heartwarming to see their are still small Mom and Pop places around putting out such affordable, homemade food.Easily in my top three favourite places to get tacos in the city, and when you look at the price, I'd choose them 8 times out of ten. Stand outs are the Horchata, beef lounge Taos, and the Chile Roleno.
This mom and pop's taco joint will not disappoint. Tacos are priced at an unreal $2.75. Choose from the standard chicken, beef, pork, or get beef tongue (recommended). The latter was incredibly tender. I preferred the balance of the beef tongue taco compared to the burrito because the taco had peppers and lime to cut the savory/creamy notes. Do not miss the horchata, a refreshing drink made in house from rice milk and cinnamon; it was unreal.
Alright, let's start here. This place serves some amazing food. 6.75 for a burrito that will blow your mind is a deal any of of the week. 2.25 tacos, with amazing meats and made with love are just the icing on the cake. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menue.
The device here for being a family owned place is amazing they make you feel like home and really put a lot of pride in their meals. You can grab a variety of imported ingredients, spices, hot sauce, and beverages here to complete your experience.
You are more than likely to be serenaded with Latin music for your ears and some amazing smells and tatses for your other senses. 5/5 will be back..... Soon!
Tacos... Barbacoa 9/10; terrific! Chorizo 8/10; excellent! Al Pastor, Refried Beans, Rice 4/10 BLAND. Worth returning for the Barbacoa! Interesting atmosphere. Lady who took my order was holding a small child the entire time I was there. Wasn't busy.
