Reviews Summary
El Charrito is a long-standing Mexican restaurant praised for its authentic flavors and generous portions, particularly its breakfast tacos and tortillas. While many appreciate the prompt service and unique Tex-Mex options, some diners found the food lacking in flavor or too oily, with occasional complaints about ingredient freshness and portion balance.
"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."

"Wish the food was a little more flavorful, but it's Georgetown. Portions were good, got the pick three combos"

"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."
