Great food, but should get more training on customer service. Walked up to order and the ladies continued to have their conversation.. lol when she did come to take my order she just stared at me. The good thing is you can watch them prepare the food and not give a tip. ***I would like to note that out of the 3 ladies, one lady in there was sweet on my next visit she spoke and asked me what I'll like to order. She wasn't there on my first visit. read more

This is a solid little taco joint tucked into the back of a gas station. Normally, I'd avoid such a place, and this one was no exception for years, but after several people told me I was missing out, I decided to give them a try. I'm glad I did. The place is not much to look at, just a counter with a kitchen behind it, but looks aren't everything. There's a handful of ladies working various areas in the little kitchen, making tortillas, cooking eggs and proteins, running the cash register, chopping onions & cilantro, etc. The tacos here are great. I was grabbing breakfast tacos, so I went with chorizo and egg, bacon and egg, and potato and egg. The chorizo and egg was solid, but the thick cut, crispy bacon in the other taco was the one that really impressed me. My wife enjoyed her potato & egg and chorizo & egg tacos as well. Each one came with a little salsa container with more than enough for a single medium taco. I'd normally be giving a place like this 5 stars based on the service, price, and experience, but came back here a couple of weeks later and found that it was closed on a Saturday with no sign or explanation. The guy working the gas station side told us that they shut down for multiple days around the holidays but didn't seem to have any idea of specifically when other than that they would definitely be back the following Monday. read more

Some of the best breakfast tacos in Houston. Located in the back of a gas station. The bacon is super crispy which sets them apart from others. It can get busy in the morning, so you may want to phone in your order. Will be trying the lunch tacos soon and will report back. read more

I bought the Potato, Eggs, and Cheese. Loved the tortillas and the sauces. The hot sauce had a nice kick to it. Will definitely be back read more

Charlie's Taco - Breakfast Menu - Fast Food Near Me - Stafford, Texas

The food is good but not sure why it says this is a cozy eatery when it's really just a hole in the wall pickup spot at the back of a gas station. The ladies working here might need some help with their customer service skills because they seem more excited to talk to the men standing around than the customers actually ordering. read more

My favorite spot to get breakfast. Generally they have a long line of people getting breakfast before work so the wait could be a little long between 8am-9am. read more

This is a hidden gem inside a gas station store. The breakfast tacos are excellent. The flour tortillas were handmade and delicious. Service is good and fast. read more

Charlie's Taco - Papás con huevo taco and green salsa. - Fast Food Near Me - Stafford, Texas

Best breakfast tacos ever !!! I drive all the way from Cypress, to get them on the weekends.

This hidden gem is in a Valero gas station. It's nothing fancy but the tacos are delicious! I haven't tried their breakfast tacos yet but the lunch tacos are on point. Just good authentic home comfort food as if you were at your grandmas house. Give them a shot, they're really good. Don't let the customer service dissuade you. The woman that works the counter isn't nice but not mean either. She just want to take your order and get it out quickly to you. Try 'em out if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed. read more

These are some of the best tacos ever! The service is quick and great! A hidden gem for sure!

Not bad, not bad. The tacos were fairly big and good thing I order one taco. I had bacon, potato, cheese, eggs, and chorizo, but it doesn't amount to Soliz. It was still pretty decent. The bacon was super crispy which is a super thumbs up, I barely tasted the chorizo, the potatoes were not as soft as I expected, and the eggs are just scrambled eggs. The green sauce was a bland, but spicy so it pretty good. I also got the quesadilla with fajita meat for the next day and it was pretty good as well. They were stingy on the meat, and they put red and green bell pepper on one side of the quesadilla. (Odd) If and when I don't have cash for Soliz, this will be the next closest taco place next to my house. read more

Absolutely obsessed with their breakfast tacos! I've lived in the area for 3 years and I haven never thought to stop here until I found them on Yelp. Flour tortilla made from scratch, fresh food. This is my new spot!!!!! read more

The service isn't the greatest but the food is good. Better than the local taquerias. Me and my coworkers LOVED their breakfast tacos

The workers here are rude and unprofessional. I came in and asked for 1 taco and she rolled her eyes and said, "only 1 taco?" Guess she thought I was wasting her time. read more

I had this place bookmarked for awhile. I tried the special breakfast burrito. She asked if I wanted everything on it. Of course I do. So I'm sitting here eating it and it is way too many things inside. There's refried beans, eggs, sausage, cheese, bacon, fajita steak, potatoes, Pico de Gallo. It's in the back of a gas station and there were 3 ladies in the kitchen cooking. There is a set of tables they can seat 8 people. Their food is decent. Next time I will order something less complicated.. I will definitely try the tacos. They have a steady line of customers. read more

A clean gas station business where they make the food right in front of you very clean & the tacos taste even better you'll catch yourself stopping by often read more

I was totally looking forward to trying out this place... After reading some of the reviews I may have set too high an expectation! I stopped in for lunch since is was in the area. I went with the beef fajita and barbacoa and I have to say, it wasn't all that!!! Totally over rated! They were okay but NOT nearly as good as described. Especially since I just found an incredible taco truck the day before! I can't really describe the taste other than just okay. However, I would not be opposed to trying their breakfast burritos or taco! I don't think I would come back here for lunch as I was very disappointed. Sorry to all the Yelper fans of this place. I have to be honest!!! read more

Charlie's Taco - Picture of the food area inside the Valero Gas Station. Only 1 table to sit at plus a counter with a few stools. - Fast Food Near Me - Stafford, Texas

The breakfast tacos are the best! We take turns at work picking up tacos for Taco Fridays! The potato, egg and cheese as the best. Beats all others for me. They are located in a gas station and honestly I have called them "Gas Station Tacos" for the longest time and just recently found out the name. I would strongly suggest calling in your order ahead of time or you will wait a while, they get that busy. They say little hole in the wall places often have the best food and I agree in this case! read more

Breakfast Tacos here coming with SUPER crispy BACON! A great place!. But bring cash. Quesadilla is good also read more

BEST tacos anywhere!! Someone wrote an article about Charlie's Tacos quite some time ago referring to it as one of Stafford's hidden secrets!! They were right on point! Every taco we've tried has been amazing and chorizo melts in your mouth / best we've ever had! read more

I stopped by to pick up a quick lunch of beef fajita torta from the walk up counter. The counter lady was all business, not a hello or a smile. My torta was done in less than 10 minutes. The fajita beef was tasty but little on the chewy side. The beef / bread ration was not balanced, not enough beef. At least the price was reasonable. I am on the fence whether to visit again. read more

Charlie's Taco - Beef fajita torta. $5.40, tax included. - Fast Food Near Me - Stafford, Texas

I finally took my colleague here since he's always looking for those hole in the wall Mexican restaurants. I couldn't believe this little taco spot has 4.5 stars, so I had to come and see why. This deli is located inside the Valero at the corner of Kirkwood and Sugar Grove Blvd, just 2 blocks north of 59. I ordered 1 beef fajita taco, 1 carne guisada taco and 1 barbacoa taco and he ordered the barbacoa plate. I requested beans on my lunch tacos, so I think they charged a little more for those but my meal was still around $6. It comes with a salsa, so I just asked for both red and green. I thought the tacos were okay, and didn't really have a favorite, just thought the best part was the homemade tortillas. My colleague on the other hand loved his barbacoa plate and said the green salsa tasted just his childhood days back in San Antonio. He did mention that he didn't care for the Mexican rice. We may come back one day and try the breakfast tacos. read more

Tacos are pretty delicious. Ordered one bacon and egg and one chorizo and egg. It's kind of hard to find because its inside a gas station. Not much space for seating either. They also only take cash. read more

The breakfast tacos here are amazing. My personal favorite is the breakfast special burrito. Soooo good! The staff is so quick.

Being a self-proclaimed taco whore can be a tough job, consisting of many busted belts, stained articles of clothing, and moments of deep lethargy... but Charlie's Taco makes it worth it, and I accredit them to my ever-growing waistline. Do not let Charlie's Taco's seemingly ghetto gas station visage fool you. The 3 ladies inside know how to rock a taco stand. They have held their own for years and continue to grow their space, customer base, and staff. One thing that doesn't change are the crazy good tacos, with homemade flours tortillas that will blow your cabeza. These tortillas are the truth: perfectly soft yet crisp and translucent in all the right places, showing obvious signs of lard. My go-to order is a medium barbacoa taco with cheese and beans, and a medium TRASH taco. No actual trash included. Rather, you will receive a flour tortilla stuffed with every breakfast taco ingredient they have - eggs, chorizo, bacon, sausage, potatoes, cheese, beans, and pico de gallo. It only costs a few bucks and your dignity. Don't forget to smother your new found gluttony with their homemade red or green sauce. You can be self-hating AND spicy! I have recklessly made my way through countless taco stands/shops/trucks from the north to the south side. These are my hands down favorite. The boss ladies that run the joint are fast, on point, and producing a near perfect taco. To pay with your credit/debit card, just let them know and they will give you a receipt to pay up front with the gas station attendant. Present your 2nd receipt like a ticket to taco paradise. Sometimes the loveliest diamonds are hidden in the ugliest mines. Although you won't find any diamonds here, tacos taste so much better anyway. read more

The address listed is the wrong address. They're located inside of a Valero gas station. Correct address is: 12404 South Kirkwood Road, Stafford, TX They make the best breakfast tacos around! Our office always orders from them. If you like EXTRA CRUNCHY BACONS then visit this place and get your self a BF taco with egg, bacon, cheese, and onions. YUM.. sooo good! I'm eating one now. HAHAH read more

I usually go to soliz for my breakfast tacos. I wanted to try this spot out. This spot is inside the Chevron. The bacon and egg tacos were pretty good. Their bacon is very crispy as opposed to soft with a little bit of fat. I liked it though. read more

Wow when you're on the run... no better than gassing up a valeros. get your road nick nacks and any other convenience store needs about houston, but wait...actual food, not just junk? yes, we know how fast food chains wreck shop in a commuter town with drive thru windows and franchise chains; yet, how can we overlook the mom and pop entrepreneurial livelihood that of this quick texmex joint? check out your fresh, made to order ghetto taco spot that is not in a trailer. and its not really that ghetto.! sure, its still on the premises of a gas station, but they have so much to choose from. you have the typical beef, pork and chicken...but try the chicharrones or the texas trash yes basura does not sound too appealing, but who can go wrong when you take everything, put it into 3 tortillas and douce it with fresh jalapeno salsa to wake you up for your morning commute its times like this when anna's in boston just doesnt cut it and i want to go home read more

Been getting breakfast tacos here for almost ~14 years now. Still the best. Homemade tortilla, soft scrambled eggs, perfectly spicy red and green homemade salsas. I've had just about every breakfast taco in a 20 mile radius and I keep coming back to this place. read more

Tried it out after Yelp recommended it and it was pretty good. I tried their barbacoa and was not too impressed by it, tasted really greasy and had a different taste than what I've had in other places. I've also tried their pupusas and were just okay for the taste for me. Now their tortas are really good, those did not disappoint. I tried it with beef fajita and the meat was soft and tender and the ingredients in the torta balanced really well with the meat. read more

Bacon was crunchy. The breakfast taco was amazing. I was not expecting much from a gas station but I was pleasantly surprised.

This place is ALRIGHT. Almost 5 star rating? No. On the cool, yall really gassed this place like it was a must try. First off, I couldn't get over how sus the place was. Totally out of character for me to even consume food from such an establishment. Then the tacos were straight, not mind blowing or anything. You can get these same tacos from....anywhere. It's Houston -__- Smh hype beasts, we know about you. read more
