The moment we stepped through the door, we were warmly greeted and asked if we'd be dining in or taking out--a perfect start to what turned out to be an unforgettable meal. The open seating area was inviting, and the staff promptly freshened up a table for us before handing over the massive menu. And when I say "massive," I mean it--choosing was tough! But my growling stomach led me to their world-famous puffy tacos, a decision I'll never regret. The accolades they've earned for these tacos? Absolutely well-deserved. Crispy yet cloud-like, bursting with flavor--I understood the hype from the very first bite. To top it off, the food arrived at our table lightning-fast, in just five minutes. This isn't just a place to eat--it's a place to experience. Trust me, I'll be back for round two (or three)! read more

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We are from Kentucky and stopped on our way thru while traveling thru. We were seated quickly depsite the place being busy. Our first time here and will not be our last. Everything on the menu looked delicious. The drinks came right away and we ordered chips and salsa which were very fresh. Our food took a little long and a few things were sold out but the food was delicious and service was great. I got the crispy taco plate which was awesome. My wife got the Beef and chicken fajitas and sausage. Rice & beans taste great and OMG THE FLOUR TORTILLAS WERE AMAZING!! The tortillas are soft and have just the right amount of salt to them. Great hospitality, combined with a relaxed and welcoming environment. Definitely a great place to go. read more

Great food! They totally made me feel at home. Probably because this restaurant is a former house so it's not big and not commercial. I love that. Staff was amazing. Felt like I was eating at my aunts house. I ordered the carne guisada Gordita and it was amazing! read more

Chacho's is legit! I'm Hispanic and have tried several places in CC. This place is the best of all that I've tried. Chorizo was really nice, migas yummy. It has the look and feel of abuelitas house. Very nice and friendly people. My new go-to place when I visit my TAMUCC college kid! read more

The food was wonderful and the CFS was fork tender. The taco was great authentic home-cooked Mexican food. The service was great as well. read more

The cashier was so rude. Also I ordered corn tortillas and I got flour. I won't be going back.

Stopped in because we had heard about the delicious chicken fried steaks. I'm pretty picky and it did not disappoint; thought I was too chicken to try the giant one. Will definitely have to go back and try the mega-sized taco. The staff were extra friendly and attentive! read more

Absolutely delicious, best breakfast taco's in Corpus Christi! Everything is fresh, portions are huge, and truly affordable (especially if you have 5 teens to feed). read more

I had 2 breakfast tacos specifically the Sausage Egg and Cheese. They were huge for $1.95! I've had the runs all day and went through 1 mega size roll of toilet paper in one day. So five stars to them . 100% recommend!!! read more

Food was amazing. Staff was very friendly and the waitress had our food out quickly. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

If you live anywhere near Chacho's Tacos and you do not start your day with tacos from here, you are missing out. I've traveled many places and I say confidently, these are the BEST I've had. Had the Tripas(extra crispy),potato/egg with cheese, and the bean/egg with cheese. All were on point! Tortillas are SUPERB!(only better ones are my Mom's) The friendliness of the staff made my meal that much more enjoyable. Small place with limited parking but very clean. The only negative thing I can say is I live too far away to come regularly but I will be back whenever I'm in town. Fantastic place worth getting to if you are visiting. Thank you all very much! read more

Drive thru, waitress walked out to car to take my order - bean, egg, cheese taco. They would only give me one salsa, so I chose red. Taco and contents were luke warm. Not sure if that's because the eggs are pre-made or because it was finished before I got up to the window. Tortilla was a little mealy with a slight but detectable amount flour on the surface and was a little dry. Eggs were a little undercooked. The red salsa had a strong vinegar flavor (canned Chipotles?), I'm not a fan. I'd go with the green unless you like pickled salsa read more

Small packed i heard all the hype about this place decided to try it out . the food was ok i had the carne guisada not to sound rude but I've had better from other local Mexican restaurants the meat was really chunky n chewy can't comment on the rest of the menu because I've not tried everything they offer read more

Friendly service. Not a fan of the flour tortillas. They were too pastry like. Still searching for decent breakfast tacos in CC.

the food is great but the place is a little on the small side not a lot of parking but the food makes up for it you really have to try the chicken fried steak . read more

The tortillas are amazing!! The tacos are a good size and of course there is their signature ginormous taco with everything in it-except the kitchen sink. Best to call ahead and order because they get busy! read more

I don't even know what to write to convey how bomb these breakfast tacos. Great price and even better food. The best tortillas I have had in my life. The portions are huge and filling. If the food isn't what gets you there, the customer service is incredible. Such nice people. We added a burrito while we paid for our tacos and, as annoying as that can be, we're so accommodating and made the mother of all breakfast burritos. So delicious. read more

Chacho's Tacos - cars parked in a parking lot - Tacos Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

I called in an order of tacos after staying a long night in the hospital by my dads side. I was starving and exhausted. I pulled up to this little shack of a place and there was a drive thru which made me excited that I didn't have to go in. There were 2 cars a head of me and much to my delight a woman with a notepad walked out to take my order. I told her I had called it in. She took my payment and rather quickly I was able to pull up to the window. I was shocked- in a good way to find out my 2, 4 ingredient tacos were a total of $6.95! Maybe because I live in Austin I'm just used to getting ripped off and paying at least $5 per taco?! Either way I was ecstatic and they were so delicious! Def recommend rolling through this place next time you need a taco fix and are in Corpus read more

Chacho's was a really good restaurant. We couldn't go inside because of covid. But we were able to go through the drive through. I went for breakfast and got 2 tacos....as great as the tacos were....I was only able to eat one because they're pretty big! They stuff them enough to where with just one you'll be fine. Will I be back? Definitely read more

Place is really small and you wouldn't think much of it. But inside they have great food. My wife had the enchiladas. They kinda reminded me like El Pato in flavor. But my Chaco's taco which first off is HUGGGGE, was just delicious. See the menu I've loaded for ingredients. I had to take out the potatoes cause I don't like them but I still could only finish about half. Crazy with the egg and carne guisada together but it actually worked. Would definitely come back! read more

Friendly people and delicious home cooking makes for two thumbs up! Will be coming back.

Coming from San Antonio, the Taco capital, it's always been hard to find solid or even good, straight up tacos in Corpus. Finally found this place online and it looks like a hole in the wall so that's always a good sign. The tacos were dank af. Handmade, soft, fluffy flour tortillas. The only thing that kept this being a 5 star vs a 4, was the lack of salt in the food. The taste was on point once I added salt. But aside from that, this will be a must stop restaurant from here on out. read more

Best tacos and service in corpus hands down! Feels like I was in my welas home ( great grandma) from how authentic the flour tortillas tasted.

This was our first visit to Chacho's. It's a tiny place. Very casual. The food is wonderful. We had the flautas plate and the crispy tacos plate. They were crispy and tasty. The rice and beans were especially delicious. The service was friendly and quick to refill drinks. The TV was a bit loud, but it showed cooking shows and local news, so not too bad. They have a drive through and take orders to go. I consider this a very good find and recommend it to others. read more

Omg!!!! These tacos were the best. Of course this is during quarantine and we took it to-go. We ordered: Carne Guisada with Bean and cheese Migas Americana Bacon Potato and Egg ALL 3 were amazing. The tortillas are fresh, fluffy and have a great taste. I think the Carne G w/ B&C was the best but all were great. Expect a line and to wait but I called my order in and I was out faster than others that ordered there. read more

Great staff. Amazing food. Always come here when visiting from Dallas. Excellent portions. Homemade food. Cheap prices.

Enchilada plate and Carne Asada plate is what we ordered and both were really good. I saw the Almighty Burrito and it was huge. My husband said he didn't think he could eat it, but might have tried in his younger days. My only disappointment was it was a little warm inside to eat for South Texas. I recommend going there & we will go back for breakfast because the flour tortillas are made there and are really fluffy and good. read more

I have looked for real puffy tacos in Corpus Christi since moving here 25 years ago. I grew up on them in San Antonio and still get them every time I go up. Every time someone tells me about a place, I go only to find basically a taco salad, puffed shell with a hole in the middle. But today I discovered Chacho's Tacos. And the best puffy tacos since childhood 60+ years ago! (See photo) I just ate at Alamo Cafe in San Antonio, and their puffy tacos are good, but not this good. I couldn't find them on the menu, so you have to ask. If this place wasn't clear across town I would eat there every day! This is a small, neighborhood, family run type cafe, and is only open from 5:30 AM until 2 PM. And only serves puffy tacos from about 10:45 AM, so you only have a narrow window, but it is worth it. As I write this (4/5/22) there is a lot of construction on Ayers with detours if you are coming from the freeway (SPID). So allow for that. read more

The 14 inch breakfast burrito isn't only a sight to see. It's a challenge. Good thing my two chumps of a friends ordered it while I watched them battle the behemoth of a Chacho Breakfast Burrito. Me, I got the very tender and flavorful lengua taco and a crispy and hearty gordita. Made a good and bad mistake of having too many of their house tortilla chips since they are cut thick and the salsas are spicy and delicious. I'm still getting accustomed to the taste of menudo but if I was I would probably say Chacho's is great. Great food at a great price. The service is very kind and the patrons are even friendlier. read more
