El Charro of Saint Clair Shores

The steak fajita puffy tacos are to die for. Amazing... Very friendly service as well. Definitely would recommend, and I will be back!

If you haven't been here, there's a drive thru and a counter inside you can order at with a good sized dining area. They FEED you. "Pick 3" never sounds like a lot of food to my fatness lol, but good Lord...I did NOT finish item #3 in my meal. Sooooooo full and the puffy tacos were great. Honestly everything was top notch. Nothing fancy, and that's exactly how I like my Mexican food. Just great quality and piping hot out of the kitchen. So just yum has occurred here.

I went here for a to-go order, so my opinion on atmosphere really doesn't have much impact. It is a nice little dining room however; it's clean and tastefully decorated.

Their service is excellent. Employees are friendly and hard-working. Food is ready quickly, which is amazing for a restaurant that cooks fresh and delicious Mexican food.

I highly recommend El Charro for lovers of Mexican food.

Their puffy tacos are spectacular and unique. Filling! So if you get them, know you don't need a bunch to get full

The service was great! Only “knock” on the food is that all food I ordered was under seasoned leaving it bland. However, everything else was perfect the service, and readiness of the food. I would try this place again.

How is this 2.5 on Yelp? This is one of the best Mexican food restaurants in the United States. I’ve traveled so much and this place is a hidden gem! The staff is always super cool and the food is the best! If you’ve never been here try a couple puffy tacos or a burrito!

Come here tonight for the first time as a pickup order. I have wanted to come here in the past but it’s always super crazy to get into the parking lot. I ordered online, the order was ready 10 minutes past the pickup estimate but they were slammed. I got home and realized they forgot a portion of one of the meals (mine) lol so I went back up there. They were even crazier busy but I got my remake within 5 minutes. I can’t speak for my family because they were all done eating by time I got back home but I ordered the pick three, chicken chimichanga, beef puffy taco, bean and beef wet burrito Mexican rice and beans. It definitely isn’t authentic Mexican but it was really delicious actually. I was surprised the puffy taco and chicken chimichanga was so delicious even though it was kind of cold by time I got to eat it. The wet burrito was also really good and the beans come with yellow cheese fyi but still very good. The chicken chimichanga is only about 2.5” long and an inch thick, they are delicious but very small so keep that in mind when ordering. Okay so one thing I loved about this place was how they package the food, they put the items in their own containers to prevent them from getting mushy and mixed together, I also love that the cups and all the containers were paper and plastic products so I can recycle them, that to me is a WIN! One thing I didn’t like was the way the parking lot is laid out, it’s almost impossible to park on the other side because the drive through, if anything this has prevented me from coming here in the past. Now that I have experienced it I will definitely come back to support this business and even though they forgot a portion of my meal I’m still going to give 5 stars based on service and food quality.

El Charro never fails to provide great food. The service is great too. Always friendly. Sometimes I'll order ahead, and it's ready pretty quickly. Even when waiting in line, they move fast. Oh, and the signature puffy tacos are signature for a reason. They're delicious.

First time here and really enjoyed it. Used the drive through and the service was very quick. Really enjoyed the Fish taco and the queso dip. Chips and burrito were also very good. Would recommend if your looking for Mexican food in the area.

The puffy tacos are beyond amazing. Their other dishes are pretty good, but the puffy tacos are the real stars.

The salsa roja is unique and delicious and the botana is a rarity you can pretty much not find anywhere else in the area.

This was our second choice after a bad start, up the street. We should have come here first. We were in and out, faster than the walk back to the car at the place we left. Food was excellent, filling and 1/2 of what we would have paid at our first stop. We'll be back, if in the neighborhood again.

Saw them on the local news (Ch 4) Tastey Tuesday segment. Did not disappoint, I've never had a puffy taco before. Everything was great, had tamales and enchiladas.

Food is great. I had the mixed meat fajitas. Chips and salsa were very good as well.

Great option when not wanting to go to the Fraser. Staff is friendly, food comes out quick and is always good.

Just love this place, we've been coming here for the past 20 years. That should say it all!! Great food, service, staff, etc. We've eaten in and done carry out, both great!

Most popular thing is the botano. Large is big enough for two people I didn't know that and I got to know what I'm having for breakfast great place.

Love the food here, just as good as the main restaurant. It's like a fast casual dining experience. Place is clean food is amazing and staff is friendly.

Jessica and Jada put the icing on the cake, with great customer service!
My food was very good.

The puffy tacos are very tasty. I wish they had more meat options and more spicy foods. But good joint to get your eat on.

1st time trying the infamous puffy taco and it did not disappoint. Definitely a local gem. Quick in and out place but so good.
