El Charro Mexican Store — Restaurant in Georgetown

We have traveled a great deal with a love of authentic Mexican food and a bit nuanced with my wife’s professional experience in authentic Mexican cooking. It would be an understatement that this place is the best food we have ever had. It has actually been a journey of mine in our travels to seek out the best, or a comparable, torta and I have yet to find something that doesn’t just invoke the thought of “this just isn’t El Gran Charro.” We come here often with our kids and have never had a bad experience (perhaps 30-40 times? Maybe more.). The food is incredibly consistent, always amazing, and the staff (a wonderful family) are always great. We are kosher, and have only mentioned it in passing, and they are conscious of it and mention it. This is a small and insignificant detail to most but to us it demonstrates a thoughtful, caring, and “good” place. I promise you, at least on the East Coast to my knowledge, you will not find a better torta, or for that matter much of anything they make. El Gran Charro essentially “sets the standard” and while standards, recipes, and methods are different—as well as tastebuds—to many, in my experience nowhere compares to this. Do not expect some fancy atmosphere like Agave in Lewes/Rehoboth but do expect remarkably better food for significantly less money. “Tex-mex” has its ingrediential (to coin a term) benefits but “the real deal” is always the real deal. An addition: I have done take out here and they have meticulously wrapped everything to keep the food hot. One small detail amongst any which demonstrate the quality of service and food. Though “a hole in the wall,” this is one of those places you have to go to. It is well worth the trip from the...

Being A Frequent Shopper In This Plaza I Somehow Overlooked This Store ‼️ I Of Course Love Mexican Food. After Shopping Passing By I Noticed The Signs Having A Craving For Tacos I Decided To Try Them. It Was A Store With Connected Restaurant With Place To Eat. The Young Man Was Nice Very Patient With Answering My Questions And Helping Me Navigate The Menu. I Ordered The Birria Tacos With Extra Sour Cream And Pico Di Gio With Extra Onion, Lime And Cilantro ,They Were out Of Radishes. They Came With 4 Med/Large For Me Tacos Packed Fully With Meat And Cheese. They Did Not Have Any Spaces Not Filled Fully With Seasoned And Favorful Meat. There Was Consume But I didn’t use it. They Also Sale The Viral TikTok Mexican Mascara There In Many Vitamin Enhanced Options. I Grabbed One Of Those To. I Also Found A Green Apple Everfresh Juice I Love Green Apple As Well I Have Never Seen This Flavor. I Waited Till I Got Home But I Forgot To Get Pictures Because I Was Overly Eager To Eat. The Mami Who Prepared This Meal Did Not Disappoint 😊 I Should Have Know When She Popped Her Head Out With The Friendliest Smile Love Was Put Into The Food. This With For Sure Be One Of My Go- To Spots When Shopping In The Area. I’m Looking Forward To Trying More Items...

Updated Today: Saturday June 05, 2021 I ordered pozole y tacos and what a wonderful take of home dinner it made. Some of the ppl at home have never had Pozole and truly loved the pork meat. The Pozole Soup is pictured in the small bowl. $9.99 for what’s supposed to be a serving for one, but I was capable to serve small bowls for three ppl. As long as they don’t ask for SECONDS (LOL)!!!!. Soft and almost falling off the bone. I love the amount of hominy in the Pozole soup. YUM!!!.

Original Post: I’ve been here several times and the tacos don’t disappoint!! To tell You the truth even my Asian husband loves them. He even likes the pork tamales. Wish the horchata drink was made by hand or just not so sweet. The price for $2-3(?), tacos is just right!! HEY, you can call ahead to place your order over the phone, because if you go during their busy time, well, you’ll be awhile. CALL THEM AND ORDER SOME TACOS de cabeza (head) with everything ( cilantro, salsa, chopped up raw onion, and raw cabbage) on it (those are...
