“First thing you should know is they give you a LOT of food for the value. Be prepared for delicious leftovers.The brisket plate was amazing. The brisket itself was cooked perfectly... tender, juicy, smokey flavor, smoke ring, and a tasty bark. The BBQ sauce is unique; it seemed to be a fusion of traditional BBQ sauce with some Mexican salsa influence. It was delicious. The plate came with two sides, a pickled jalapeno, and diced onions. We chose Spanish rice and potato salad for the sides. We really liked the Spanish rice, especially mixed with a little of their salsa roja (extra charge). The potato salad was above average, definitely homemade.We also got smoked pork ribs, smoked chicken, and armadillo eggs which are jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese then wrapped with spiced hamburger, bacon, and BBQ sauce.The pork ribs were some of the best I have eaten, and I have had a lot of BBQ. The ribs were huge, almost the size of beef ribs. The ribs were cooked perfectly, just shy of fall-off-the-bone. The BBQ sauce and the ribs were my favorite.The pinto beans were also super tasty.The armadillo eggs were also some of the best I've tried.The owners, David and Beatrice (Bee), were super friendly.“

“It's all delicious, I like it a lot but on two occasions I've had pebbles in the beans that doesn't mean I'll stop buying at El Charro since it's very much to my liking... But please clean the beans well the first time there were almost no leftovers without tooth “
“Enjoyable roadside haunt. I really enjoyed my Huevos Divorciados at La Patrona. Yes, I know it was lunch, but hey it was super good. I had asked for "Christmas" and got a nice amount of red and green chili on my food. I shared a "steak" taco from one of the family and used a tiny packet of "red sauce" to enhance the flavor. Boy, that red chili sauce was ear steaming hot! The heat didn't mask the flavor of the meat or the avocado in the taco... but I know where they got the inspiration for the steam out of the ears in cartoons now.“

“When you see I little trucked that’s tucked away(almost hidden)you know is gonna be damn good. Service is always fast. Today, I got the gorditas de asada con Chile verde and was blown away! And the salsa is amazing. For a HEAVY plate with a monster and chips, I only paid $10. Very happy. And full.“

“Wow. Simply wow. This is a gem of a place. I had the pleasure of eating here a while back, about 3-4 years ago. Recently went again and the food has not changed. Authenticity is of course in the eye of the beholder, but I feel many will agree when i say this is authentic Mexican cuisine. It's not often I see salsa torreada at establishments, let alone chicharron prensado done the right way! I tend to stay away from mexican restaurants, trucks, etc because I am usually let down by the lack of flavor. However this spot is an exception. The food here is amazing. Reminds me of home cooking in actual Mexico. The atmosphere set up they have going on, and the service they provide rivals that of taqueria spots in many mexican towns. I thoroughly enjoy my visits here and highly recommend people to swing by and hopefully experience a similar reaction.“
