If you’re in Waco and craving authentic Mexican food, El Charro Tapatío is a must! The service is always warm, attentive, and welcoming, you feel taken care of from the moment you walk in.

The carne en su jugo plate is absolutely amazing. The broth is rich and flavorful, the meat is tender, and the toppings bring everything together perfectly. It’s comforting, authentic, and easily one of the best versions I’ve had.

Great food, great service, and a true taste of tradition. I’ll definitely be back!

I got a breakfast burrito and an asada taco very good. Prices were pretty high though. 4.50 for a fountain drink is outrageous. Food prices were alot more than I expected for a place I had been to before the remodel and now its at least 5 bucks more. I feel like I'm helping pay for the remodel

Bit into the Birria taco and pulled out what looked like and artery. Birria is supposed to be beef. This is chicken, rat, or cat ect. No clue but definitely disgusting. Overpriced mixed animal meat

Absolutely disgusting. We stopped here on our way through Waco and we're shocked on just how bad the food was. The children's chicken fingers and the Nacos were burned. The meat was hard and all other food had no flavor. Everything was very bland tasting. We were very disappointed. An enchilada plate comes with rice and beans and a taco and the beans tasted awful and the taco seemed it was just packed with the refried beans. We will not be coming back. I would recommend Mercados Mexican restaurant on Burnet road in Austin.

View burnt meat below.

I've ate there for both breakfast and dinner. The food never disappoints. The service is ok but the staff isn't very attentive. It can be very loud at times im not big on that kind atmosphere. Overall its a decent spot with authentic Mexican food. Ill always go back for the amazing food.

Witnessed a customer request a refund for a wrong order and the staff turned the entire environment into a lock down - bad enough the food was not good, tasted old i was ready to leave but to see the staff call the police after refusing to give a refund to customer who immediately did not want the incorrect order handed to them - the same staff LIED FALSELY stated that customer threw salsa creating an atmosphere very uncomfortable knowing what took place from beginning to end - strongly feel place raided to make sure the staff is fit to work on US the people there are unreal with customer service serving bad food and when customer not satisfied call and make false reports lying about the only way to receive a refund is by providing a passport who carries a passport simple when paying with a debit/ credit card - bad food horrible service - ICE PLEASE VERIFY EMPLOYEES AND MANAGEMENT- something is not right !!

The worst experience ever - there is a communication barrier and they will call the police instead of giving a refund on a wrong order they admit to giving however make false reports when believing I would leave - completely falsified a report “throwing salsa” when only requested a refund - she stated unless I paid with cash I MUST present a passport for a refund very bad service and two days now been asking to speak to manager and if not hung up on by associate told manager not there bad service forced to take stale chips and hot horchata very bad service food is old

1 person meal, my order total was $29.83 without tax or tip, monteray chicken was meh the veggies had more flavor than the chicken, rice was fine, salad meh, Queso price was ridiculous for what was given, looked like some was taken out. The 4.68 fountain drink was insane. Will not be going back, And sadly my department and I eat out a lot and this is right down the street from our office...but we wont be coming here.

Will call the police over a refund on an order they repeated to confirmed, refused to remake, then when asked if we could just get a refund, refused! Called cops making false claims. There are way too many cameras for them to make false reports, and for us to act like fools. No thank you! DO NOT RECOMMEND! The drama over bad service isn’t worth it.
