El Charro Expresso — Restaurant in Moses Lake

If you’ve spent any time searching for good Mexican food in Washington state, you’ve probably run into the same problem I have—something just feels off. The flavors might be close, the fillings might be solid, but the tortillas? They usually miss the mark. And if you grew up in Texas, you know that a great tortilla can make or break the entire experience.

That’s why El Charro Espresso is a game-changer. The name might make you think you’re driving up to a coffee shop, but don’t let that fool you—this place serves up the best breakfast tacos in town, hands down. What sets them apart? They make their own tortillas. And if you know, you know.

The tortillas are soft, fresh, and have just the right amount of chew. They hold up to the fillings without falling apart, but they’re not so thick that they overpower the rest of the ingredients. This is the kind of detail that separates real Mexican food from the countless mediocre options scattered throughout the Pacific Northwest.

As for the tacos themselves? Perfection. Whether you go for the classic bacon, egg, and cheese or something a little more loaded, like chorizo and potato, every bite feels like a small taste of home—at least if home happens to be Texas. They don’t skimp on portions, and the flavors are balanced just right. And while it’s easy to overdo it on the cheese or grease with breakfast tacos, El Charro gets it just right—bold, satisfying, but never overwhelming.

If you’ve been searching for authentic, no-nonsense breakfast tacos in Washington, El Charro Espresso is your spot. Skip the generic breakfast joints, ignore the places that rely on store-bought tortillas, and head straight here. You...

This is a very popular breakfast kiosk. And what 98% of the folks are getting are their breakfast tacos. Look, these are not some big fatties, but they are clearly making their flour tortillas fresh, and they are thick, warm, and if you just had one big one with butter, you would wrap yourself in it and take a nap. While the tortillas are clearly the star of the show, the fixins' have good flavor, and with a splash of salsa, compliment the experience as you hope. Prices are a bit higher than you might think they should be, but honestly that's not their fault in 2023. We were pretty darned satisfied with 4 tacos/salsa for under $20 w/tip. Expect to wait a bit in line in your car. But that's what the radio and air conditioning...

I absolutely LOVE this place for their breakfast tacos. Handmade fresh tortillas to order. You can customize any item on the menu. If you don't know what to get the staff is incredible about helping figure out what you'll like. 100% recommend. Keep in mind your paying for fresh handmade to order food, and great customer service to a local family not some fast food chain. The money is...
