Very disappointed in how terrible the food has been of late. My chicken looked like it had gone a full cycle in my washing maching. Now, in addition to an unassumming atmosphere they can also now claim that they also have very unappetizing food. I never minded the looks of the place, it was clean. But, this is a step to far.

Delicious, flavorful, and maybe the best Mexican food in town — especially the salsa and frijoles. Highly recommend.
Breakfast is served at the window. The breakfast tacos are great too!
Lunch is served inside.

The place reeks of urine the second you walk in. Absolutely disgusting couldn't believe it was even open and running a few weeks ago.

Enchiladas and one taco carbon and one taco guisada. The rice and beans were bland and flavorless, the enchiladas were just ok. The taco carbon was absolutely gross and flavorless. The guisada meat tasted overcooked and was extremely salty but lacked any other flavor. I did not taste any chilis what so ever. No garlic, cilantro, onion or lime in anything they cooked. There was a small hair in my salsa. The server was very nice and she was doing a good job but the food was just soooooo underwhelming that it was hard to ignore. I probably won’t be back. The food looked amazing but once I tasted it I was just so sad but it wasn’t horrible. It was just ok. Probably won’t return as there are so many amazing spots in the area.

El Charrito has now been serving great Mexican food in Georgetown for nearly 30 years. They have a simple place along South Austin Ave with casual, indoor seating along with a few outdoor tables if weather is favourable. You can do take-away as well.

Menu features your expected range of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. Service is very friendly and accommodating, prices very reasonable for what is served. Met friends for dinner here recently. Everyone enjoyed the meal. Salsa and chips served with meal were great. Enchilada and fajita dishes were all very good as well. El Charrito is a simple place that gets the important things right when it comes to a casual, great Mexican dinner. Look forward to eating here again when next in G'town.

Not sure what happened to this place, maybe it’s become a downtown attraction and can’t keep up but this morning, there was no Barbacoa, carne guisada or chips. Waitress could even give a care when she said their fryer was broke. Phone was ringing off the hook and she was standing right by it, like God forbid I have to answer it and take an order. I paid for my two coffees and left. Do better Charito.

Depending on what you get, the food is okay. I see the breakfast tacos is the way to go. The regular beef enchiladas was pretty good. It’s oily, they need to drain the meat. Rice and beans are good at least. The tomatillo sauce has a kick so be prepared for that if you order the shrimp enchiladas. They use very small shrimp. We did not enjoy the dish. The crispy chicken tenders and fries is a big NO for the kids meal. Don’t know why my child would order that at a Mexican restaurant. The red salsa is REALLY good! Make sure you get chips & salsa! The queso, is a no as well.

I’m looking forward to coming back to try the breakfast tacos. But as of right now, I would not recommend this place unfortunately.
