I stopped by this evening while in town for work. Unfortunately, There is a sign on the door stating that they are currently closed for a family vacation until the middle of January. I will look forward to a future visit. The tacos are always amazingly fresh and tasty! read more

We always stop at El Charro on our way to Rehoboth Beach. It reminds us of the family run restaurants of Tucson Arizona. Not fancy but delicious food and friendly atmosphere. read more

One of the two best Mexican restaurants I have ever found. They serve the best pozole I have ever eaten. Ever. Ever. Ever. I posted a photo of it topped with cilantro and onion from the small toppings bar they have near the register. This is a smaller place with a few tables/booths. There are Mexican items to buy including cooking tools, food stuffs, snacks, boots, and apparel. Not a huge selection, but enough to browse while waiting for your food. I know my husband ordered something really fabulous . . . but I really don't remember because I was so distracted by the amazingly flavorful pozole. For around $13 it was savory and flavorful and full of yummy ingredients. The broth, the pork, and the hominy flavors were perfectly balanced. It comes with tostadas. The pozole is only served on Saturday and Sunday. It's worth the wait. This is one of the foods I've eaten that leaves me craving to return and get more. On the way out, I grabbed some Mexican snacks and candy. This is a great place. You can't go wrong. read more

Best tacos in the area. Drove here from Delmar. The place in Laurel is horriable in comparison to how good the food is here.

Food is actually good really fast probably the closest authentic Mexican food I've had in Delaware

It's a hole in the wall joint - good food not much ambiance. Good variety and quality. Large portions. Really liked the toppings/salsa bar to customize my burrito. It's not gourmet, but 5/5 for what it is. I would recommend and return! read more

We found this place on yelp while we were in town visiting the laundromat. Ya'll, these were some of the best tacos I've ever had. They were all delicious but the pastor and birreira were incredible. We loved the little serve-yourself toppings bar which gave us the opportunity to try three different salsas (all were delicious!). This place is a hidden gem!! read more

Easily 5/5!!! This is the best, most authentic Mexican food I've had so far in DE, and I've been searching for a while. We tried the chicken tamales, beef tacos, and beef tortas. The proportion of meat to maize dough on the tamales were perfect. The beef tortas were JUICY and flavorful. This is the biggest thing for me because I've had too many dry tacos at other places. The tortas were beyond amazing and delicious-- the bread was soo soft but lightly crispy on the outside. I'm literally still dreaming about the bread itself. Do they bake it themselves? Because it tasted like it was fresh out of the oven. If you're like me and have been looking for the best Mexican food spot in Delaware, I swear this is it! read more

We come all the way from Houston, Texas twice or three times a year to this place. And we love the food from they serve here. The food is very authentic and good flavor those salsas are an A+. The store has its unique touch lots of products from Mexico, and it makes you feel you're at home. The employees and service is extremely nice and the prices are very reasonable. I definitely recommend this place for everyone. Can't wait to go back soon. Gracias por su tener una bonita tienda y su comida nos encanta!!! read more

Authentic Mexican food. The food was amazing off the charts good. Highly recommend. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We will be back read more

Had tacos last week they were great! I had the mixed steak and chorizo! Any taco Tuesday specials?

The food is always great and fresh. Customer service is great, very nice family that owns the place. It's also clean and actually pretty fast with service. read more

A little hole in the wall with amazing authentic flavors! Fresh tortillas in bulk for purchase too!

This is a small shop that is part restaurant and part grocery. You can order at the front register then have a seat in the other seating area until your name or order is called. I ordered the 2 steak tacos and 2 tamales, and an order of rice & beans. While I was waiting I noticed they sell all kinds of goods including a large selection cowboy boots. There is a toppings bar when you get your food. It has lettuce, onions, cilantro, and 3 kinds of sauce. A green mild sauce, a darker green medium sauce and a really fire red sauce. You can put what you want on your food. So for the food: 4 stars for the tacos & beans In rice. Tacos were in a double tortilla, the steak was very seasoned and good. Beans and rice were fresh and very delicious. 2 stars for the tamales, I think they need to be less dry. I will go back for tacos and loved the local family owned business! read more

Not much to look at on the inside, but the food is WELL worth it! They sell AUTHENTIC Mexican dishes. Everything is made fresh, including their own sauces. It's mostly self service once they call your name for your food. The people who own the place are very cordial and accommodating. The food is the highlight of this place. Not much on the frills is made up on how good the food tastes. read more

Tacos on the cheap! And they were excellent. Restaurant first, tienda second. Friendly service. Could be a little cleaner. read more

It's rare to find a place with food, service, and atmosphere as good as it is here. I go as frequently as I can, and I live 45 minutes way. The food is always amazing, and everyone I send here (and I send everyone) has a fantastic experience. I get the Torta everytime, plus a taco or sopes. - The Pollo? "SO GOOD!!" - The carnitas? "Can't believe I'm in Delaware!!" - The asada? "How do they afford to infuse steak with cocaine?" - If you're in the area, thinking to pass through the area, or just want the best food you've ever had, drop everything you are doing and go get you a Torta!!!! read more

I walked in and I knew that was an amazing place. The smells take me back to the streets of Condesa and Roma Norte instantly. The music, I remember hearing it everywhere - and food is perfect and the service is even better. I looked all over for sugar skulls and papel picado, and NO WHERE to be found and I walked in and VOILA! Papel Picado and the last 6 sugar skulls - and these needed accessories for the ofrenda we are building at school - I felt like I hit the jackpot. I was so eager to pick up my order I accidentally picked up another individual's food and drink, and despite realizing I did this, the staff made up for my mistake and treated me as if I did nothing. Generous, the taste you would be looking for from Mexico, and tons of items for sale on the other side of the restaurant. The atole was nothing short of AMAZING and hit the spot perfectly and again I accidentally picked up Horchata and downed that not realizing until too late, I had picked up the wrong dinner - however, both were AMAZING. I ordered sopes to go and couldn't help but to photograph them. I loved every single thing about this place and this brightened up the dullest of Saturday rainy weather days ever. read more

El Charro Mexican Store - Sopes!! - Mexican Near Me - Georgetown, Delaware

Hole-in-the-wall GEM in Georgetown!! Part grocery store and part taco joint, this place is a must try if you're in the area (even worth making a special stop for it!) As a vegetarian, this place had amazing options, including quesadillas, tostadas, and burritos. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. So glad I took her recommendation and got the burrito. The refried beans are to die for! The portions were large, the food tasted fresh, and the flavors were incredible. In addition, they have a variety of hot sauces and salsas to try (self service). Only downside is the seating area could be improved upon. Hopefully they will expand and come to the Lewes/Rehoboth area next. This was the best Mexican food I have had outside of Puerto Rico. Highly recommend and will be back for more!! read more

Thank you YELP for pulling through again. Stopped here while passing through and it did not disappoint! Authentic Mexican food. Hubby and I both had a chicken burrito. Only gripe was that the ends weren't wrapped, which made it messy to eat but it was delicious! Worth stopping there again if we are in the area again. I highly recommend this place! read more

From Arizona we had a taste for authentic Mexican food. Because of yelp we stumbled upon this place. Highly recommended.

Wow, all the reviews are spot on!! Delicious food and a must stop every time we are in Georgetown. The chorizo is absolutely amazing! We also enjoyed a yummy steak burrito and chorizo sopes. Yes, it's a hole in the wall place located in a plaza but stand out in Mexican cuisine. read more

Authentic Mexican, store front across the parking lot from Walmart. I don't go here for the ambiance I go for the Tortas. It is my new favorite sandwich. It might even top Pat's in Philly. read more

The chicken torta that I got was delicious! It was hot and moist. Highly recommend for this menu item. Staff friendly and service good. Only reason for the 4 is because the environment was a bit rundown. read more

What a terrific place! Wonderful carne asada tacos - don't forget all the fresh lime, cilantro, lettuce, cabbage and home-made (I think...) salsas in their condiments bar. Ohhh! So good. The burrito was full of flavor without being unduly heavy. The tamales had just the right spice level (add more salsa picante should you wish)... and may have been a bit brittle in texture... but all the flavor was there. Warm and friendly service in what appears to be a family-run establishment... so good. The ambiance is a classic hole-in-the-wall - The restaurant is combined with a mercado (market) and situated in a long narrow section of a strip-mall. It's clean simple, and small with limited seating and modest prices. A perfect little place to get your Mexican fix! read more

Ok, the prior reviews were right on this place was GREAT! I did not know what to expect when I walked in the door. The young adult employees who I presumed are the owners children kindly explained how the ordering process worked. So my family grabbed the menus and browsed around the store portion of the store. We were AMAZED by the selection of authentic Mexican products from shoes, snacks, drinks and multiple gifts. So we finally ordered and when our entrees were anounced I was stunned how BIG the portions were. We ordered almost every type of entree available. Everything was AWESOME!! This place is truly a DIAMOND in the rough!! read more

Oh my goodness! If your looking for legit Mexican look no further! Great friendly staff, and delicious food! My husband and I were driving through from NY and probably the best Mexican I can remember having in a long time. I highly suggest the sopes and the tamales. Hot fresh delicious! Don't expect sit down, just go in and order, ask questions if you don't know what something is! I felt like family! We will be making a stop on our return! read more

Winner of a dinner! Place is super small, super affordable and so delicious! My dinner was tacos of different types head, tongue, and carnita. You will love it. No alchohol, i think good place to introduce kids to authentic street Mexican food read more

Legit. Excellent tacos. Excellent value. Nice to apply my own onion, cilantro, salsa, etc at their self-serve condiment bar which the staff kindly reminds us to use only after using hand sanitizer. I had one taco each of carne, pastor, and carnitas. Hard to choose a favorite! Visited on the way to Assateague. It's a crime to get fast food when this place is so accessible and tasty. read more

Cute Mexican store in a strip mall next to the Walmart with booths for eating their tasty tacos, tortas, burritos, and authentic food like menudo and pozole. Seems to be family-run. We gave thumbs up to the carne asada burrito , chicken tacos and vegetarian tostadas. The chicken quesadilla was a little salty. And the horchata sweeter than usual. They sell Mexican groceries and cowboy boots in the back. You can pick up a piñata too! Friendly service and clean bathrooms. read more

Loved it. Crazy cheap and great quality. Plus, the service was very friendly and fast.

This is authentic Mexican food for the masses!!! Sometimes when you walk into a place as culturally rich as this joint, you feel intimidated and uncomfortable if you are not "from" this demographic. These guys were so friendly. The young host offered to translate anything we didn't understand and encouraged us to look around the store, where they have an incredible range of dried peppers. I ordered steak taco and a cheese quesadilla. The tacos are self service on the veggies and sauces so it's easy to please everyone. The hot sauce is hot! Cheap and quick. Friendly. I wish I lived in Georgetown! read more

This place is a hidden gem! If you're looking for authentic Tacos like a taqueria, I recommend you stop here. They had a great selection of tacos like Lengua, Pastor, Asada, Carnitas etc. I haven't found any good Mexican food in the south & this was soooo tasty! If you're going for good food, stop by here. Don't judge the book by its cover because this place looks like a store at first but is more catered towards food. They did have a good selection of Mexican seasonings, boots, Pan Dulce etc. Stop by this place if you're passing through. I love that I found this spot. The people were super nice. read more

Make this a stop along your trip if your traveling south from New Jersey into the VA area. We had tostadas and tacos. Both were out of this world! The meats were cooked just right, not too dry and their in house hot sauces , topping bar was also a good touch. read more

My FIL read somewhere that this was the best taco joint in DE. The article was right! Everything is fresh and authentic. Not a fancy place, so don't worry about dressing up. If you don't speak Spanish, it's okay. They understand English a little. We had all different kinds of street tacos served on homemade tortillas with a little white onion and cilantro! read more

Great food! Fast and delicious! Got chicken tacos, tamale and a quesadilla. Love the DIY fixins bar!

Who would have thought this SoCal kid could find legit Mexican food in Delaware! Sopes were on point, Al pastor was delicious, and the horchata was oh so good. And super friendly service to boot. read more

Fantastic experience, food and service. Excellent and fresh food. Everyone went on about tacos online and they were correct - I had a chorizo which was Smokey charred and chicken thick full and well seasoned - the toppings bar was gorgeous too letting you do the toppings and hot sauce style you like. Grab a drink. Small groceries and some pretty hot boots and hats. I will be back to sample more on your menu!! What a little known secret you are - at least you were to me - but no more!!! A destination imho. read more

Best taco place of all time. Real, authentic Mexican. Unparalleled. Lo mejor del mundo. Wow.

Amazing authentic Mexican food. Friendly service and family owned! Eat here on a regular basis so much that they know my name. Highly recommend! read more
