    Really clean sheets and pillows felt soft and smelled refreshing. Bed was just perfect. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the patio. Terrence needs some TLC. It was nice to walk across to the river.

    Chips, Salsa and Queso

    Crazy its been 11 years since we ate here....and it was for breakfast....Here for lunch this round.....Service was friendly and fast....Chips, Queso and Salsa to start....Everything was good, but the bottled red sauce they brought out with the meal made the queso that much better....We are torn on this review as the wife usually get enchilada, but this time she went with the mini tacos with Pastor...and they were fantastic...easily 5 stars just for flavor...we both enjoyed the rice....I went with the combo plate with beef enchiladas and a crispy taco....food was piping hot but a tad on the bland side....that bottled red sauce helped everything along....my dish was 2 stars for sure....so we landed at 3 stars for El Charro.

    Chalupa plate.  Large portions.

    Very unassuming little place. Very good customer service. Food is very good as I say for a small place. 5 taquito appetizer was amazing! The best salsa I've had in a long time.

    This place deserves nothing less than 5 stars!! Some of the best taqueria style Mexican food I've had anywhere in Texas. Free refills on great coffee too? What else can you ask for from the local Mexican restaurant in Blanco. We came here visiting from Houston for a friend's wedding, and this was the perfect wake up call the morning after the wedding. 3 huge breakfast tacos for $4.49. Barbacoa, egg, potato, pico, breakfast plates for $9. Amazing breakfast specials, and great local vibes are plenty here. And don't get me started on their homemade tortillas and salsas, simply bliss. I wish we could stay for lunch and dinner next time. This place alone is worth the visit to Blanco, TX! We'll be back again soon I'm sure.

    Chicken quesadilla.

    This is my 3rd time in blanco and my 3rd time eating here and I love it. Highly recommend it. It may be a little Secluded but this is a gem.

Famous like Dennis Rodman, Moby, Madonna at that club. Needless to say I trust her food judgement; more than most. Even my closest friends betray my expectations somehow. Flash forward and wife and I were headed towards our next free (BS) oil change in Boerne. El Agave #2 is obviously the second off shoot of the original in JC. Converted gas station complete with drive thru window. We walk into the usual almost neon signs and Mexico made dining booths. VAPE SHOP NEXT DOOR! Honestly, I've got to promote the iced tea. Even took one togo. Because, that was what I would recommend out of our dining experience. Chips were akin to stale thinner wheat thins. Worst chips in recent memory. Who cares about all the salsas offered when there isn't a vessel for delivery. She had a Taco Salad and I had the combo plate of SA famous Puffy Taco and Enchilada. BTW, no tomato component on the rice. Carrots and peas. Rice, deplorable. Beans, OK. I asked for a Sour Cream sauce on my enchilada only to get cheese. Filling correct; they opted to just leave the sauce off completely. Didn't even eat half of the food. Never stopping here again.

We haven't seen her since. lol Our waitress came back and took our order. The food came out almost immediately. It was piping hot and delicious. I got 4 good sized flautas that were freshly made.

Let's start with the kountry boy kolache. They have venison and jalapeño-we opted for the jalapeño. They basically take this great smoked sauage and wrap it like a mummy in some buttery dough. You get a nice snap as you bite it. Not hot but really good. Smoked brisket, egg and cheese kolache. The smoked brisket was legit-suoer tender and nice touch of smoke with plenty of bark to complement the egg and cheese. Glad we split it because it was the size of a small burger. The donut sandwich. Oh my god. This is another level: They take a glazed donut, slice it in half and toast it. You get to fill with either bacon and egg, sausage and egg or ham and egg. The wife chose the sausage and egg. The sweetness of the glazed donut combined with the saltiness and spiciness of the sausage makes this sandwich! So good! It was our favorite breakfast item We capped this great breakfast with a cinnamon sugar twist. How ordinary right? WRONG! this was no ordinary cinnamon sugar twist. At most donut shops you get a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Here, they really define what cinnamon sugar is and how cinnamon sugar should be done. Every bite of that soft, warm fresh dough has plenty of cinnamon sugar. Imagine a giant, soft churro and that's what you get. Definitely a gem here in the Hill County.

Well more like everything else on the road didn't look to appealing. Let's get straight to it. The service was great, the bathroom was clean, and the tables were clean. It could use a little update, but that's not what I'm reviewing this time. We had the papas locas, quesabirria, and fajitas chilingas and of course corn tortillas! The basic chips and salsa were brought to the table. The salsa literally tasted like only black pepper. I thought there is no way anyone on purpose puts that much black pepper in a salsa. Maybe an accident? It was inedible. Kinda of scared us with the start. The next dish was good but not good. Let me explain. The papas locas are just fries, with some type of white cheese sauce, guac, meat, and sour cream. It just felt lazy. It needed something to tie it all together. It wasn't until they brought our mains, with the spicy table sauces that it hit. It needs some type of spice, to mellow out the richness and balance and meld it all together. The portion was great for the price. Maybe add jalapeños and you hit something. The mains on the other hand were dang good. Especially the birria. In this world of food trends, the quesabirria is the current star. Most places have their own version, but the top two mistakes, is that the make its either entirely too salty or they don't add enough spice and it feels more like a broth for soup rather than a true consume. This place did neither. The munchkin has never said any birria is as good or better than mine. Well looks like the day came. It was absolutely fantastic! The corn tortillas, spectacular alone, elevated this to the point it's probably in the top three birria tacos I've ever had anywhere! Bravo! The fajitas chilangas were great. But the problems I always have resurfaced from time to time. First, this was cheap bistec, they just seasoned it perfectly. NOT fajita. The chicken was good, and the chorizo and jalapeno were a great new way to have it. The problem is there was neither enough chorizo nor jalapeno to take it to the level of the birria. It was almost good enough, but with the beautifully executed corn tortillas, it was more than adequate for our hunger pangs. The charro beans I asked for were actually undercooked. That is a first for me. They are usually overcooked. They had decent flavor, just needed more time. The table salsas were also good. Just enough spice, and just enough heat. Not salty at all. I work stop by again if I was in the area! We had great dessert, but can't give them credit since it was a third party.
