El Charro Cafe - Mexican restaurant in Waco - 2303 La Salle Ave, USA

5 out of 5 Bear Paws 🐾 🐻 The perfect start to some rigorous Christmas shopping.

If you're looking for an authentic Mexican breakfast at the Heart of Texas, this is the place to go. Most places North of the RGV have a TexMex style that lack that México authenticity. Their salsas are delicious with just the perfect flavor for your dish. The staff makes you feel like you're eating at your family members home.

Sorry no photo to this review. Food was so good that I ate it all up before getting to my camera. I went with a friend from out of town and he said the food was authentic. Our server was nice and friendly. All the staff are friendly. It's like a mom and pops place. I definitely recommend!

I liked this place a lot until one day I bought the usual mendo an a burrito an they was trying to get over an say the cup was never a medium small size in the mendo I done got the small cup for 4.95 then went an gave me the kids cup an filled it up an just lied in faced as if I’m dumb food is. Good but that’s bad business I will not return

my beautiful wife and I were invited by one of my brother in-law..we have eaten here before and the food is always great..it's real authentic Mexican food,so be prepared for lots of "sabor"(flavor)..its also a place that my Grandfather( Tito)used to frequent for coffee,good food and conversation..try it if you haven't already,you won't be disappointed...Blessings upon you all...

On the way back from seeing my friend laid to her final rest, I stopped by El Charro. I've intended to go for a long time. They were somehow missed on my Great Waco Guisada Tour a couple of years ago. This is a charming place with some nice artwork. It was empty except for three Mexican men having a meal. The servers were wonderful and so friendly and attentive. They had the crispy, light chips that I like. The highlight was the salsa. So very good. They must use some different spice or pepper. It was pretty hot, but not too hot for me given my recent spicy food kick. I brought some home for movie watching tonight. The carne guisada wasn't spicy at all. There was plenty of delicious, beefy gravy and it was so good wrapped in a corn tortilla. The rice was plain. The beans were okay. They needed some spice. A little of the red salsa cured that. Iced tea tastes so good with spicy food. I had several glasses on this hot day.

Went on our lunch break. My friend got the chicken caldo and I had a fajita and bean burrito. The service was fast, the waitress was friendly and we enjoyed our meals and we made it back to work on time.

I love rellanos. What I don't like is for them to be super spicy. What they had will really good. If I had any complaining at all it was at service was a little bit slow and even my grandson's chicken nuggets super hot. The food was excellent, my grandson spilt his water and the waitress didn't even seem to let t affect her. Prices are very inline. We'll be back!
