The tacos are always full and flavorful. The service is friendly and the Galleria is a fun atmosphere. The only problem is the general temperature of the whole place. In the summer it's very hot inside.

Traditional Steak Tacos
Jacob A.

I was recommended to check out La Capital Tacos and I'm glad I did -- it did not disappoint! It's tucked inside a small food court, which is perfect if you're looking to grab a quick bite. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What I ordered: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Three traditional steak tacos - Birria Tacos While the traditional tacos were tasty, they were on the smaller side and didn't quite fill me up -- but the Birria Tacos more than made up for it with their amazing flavor and generous portion. Highly recommend trying those! Another bonus: this location is the only La Capital Tacos branch (that I know of) where you can get an alcoholic margarita. So it's a great spot to kick off the weekend -- the open seating makes it an ideal hangout to meet up with friends, relax, and make plans before heading to your next destination. I'll definitely be back for those Birria Tacos and a margarita!

This place is awesome! But to be fairs I've only ever tried the birria tacos but omg they are insanely good! Straight up addicting! My only complaint is that there's only 3 to an order. So I always end up getting 2 order but I don't even care they are so good it's worth every penny!

Birria tacos are out of this world! Do yourself a favor and go try them. They have a locations in Troy and Latham.

Birria tacos from La Capital Tacos are out of this world. Do yourself a fair and try them at either their Troy or Latham location.

Tamales con todos

The tacos here make me not want to go anywhere else again. They are the best in the area. Make sure to get them con todos because the guac is excellent. The birria tacos are amazing also. And don't forget the chips and queso. Their queso is addictive.

Deluxe mix and match tacos with my lime soda.
Bill Z.

The portions you get here for your tacos are unexpectedly generous. I think I could have brought a few more tortillas from my home, scooped some of the ingredients on those, and I could have had an additional taco or two beyond the three in my "mix and match" tacos. The meats in these tacos are well prepared and tasty, but you don't necessarily realize just how much there is on there if you get the deluxe tacos, which include extras of several ingredients, and pico and guacamole. And it's always a plus when I can have my Jarritos lime soda with my meal too. This has become yet another restaurant complicating my choices at Galleria 7 Market (which is not a complaint, I really do appreciate all the great options there).

Note: this location is not the original location. The original is in Troy but this food is still amazing! My fave fave fave!! Food is always fresh and delicious. So authentic and the spot is cute and not overdone! Plenty of parking in the lot and pretty decent amount of seating inside. when it's warm there is outdoor seating. My recommendation ... birria tacos of course! However literally everything here is phenom.

Birria tacos

You can mix n match and pick which 4 tacos for your family platter (20 tacos) which is super nice. We got them with "the works" but they were delicious as is. The gold star is definitely the Birria tacos it's insane. Can't wait to get them again!!

I've never had a bad meal at El Charro. The service is quick and friendly! I wish the guac portions…read morewere bigger.

Place was extremely clean and the food was very good…read more Every employee we encountered was pleasant and there seemed to be enough staff on to cover the dining room and bar. We were greeted promptly and pleasantly as we entered and were seated at a nice booth in the dining area. Service was spotty throughout the meal. We order the guacamole and it was disappointing in 2 respects: it was tiny. Smallest sized ramekin ever, it reminded me of a condiment sized dish. Secondly, and worse, we had gotten through nearly all the complimentary chips while we waited to place our order and so when our server brought out the guacamole, we had nothing to eat it with and he dropped and dashed. I wanted to ask for more chips and order a beverage and we waited an unusual amount of time between any visits from our server to our table, and this was consistent throughout the meal. We needed napkins after our meals were served and he was nowhere to be found for a long time. Didn't check on us or ask How things were. Wasn't around for us to order additional drinks or get any refills. So overall, the food was great, prepared and presented well, very flavorful and seasoned & cooked properly. The portions were plentiful/large. But the service, having to wait for drinks and refills, having to wait for service, for napkins, for take out containers, for the check and then after we gave card to pay, wait a very long time to actually cash out. It wasn't fully packed and I like a slower paced meal, but the lack of server presence was really the only disappointment. Well that and the size of the guac.

Never did I think that I would have to write a post like this, but I also never thought I would…read moreencounter a restaurant that provided both horrible food and drinks. Although the scenery and overall aesthetic make the place look like an inviting attraction, once inside, the concept feels more like a Venus flytrap. (If it were possible to give a half-star or no-star review for the quality of the food and drinks I was served, that would be my rating instead of the 1-star review I gave.) While eating, I found myself constantly wondering how other people there were enjoying the food. The demographics seemed to represent a specific group, yet it was difficult to understand how such a similar experience could be perceived so differently. Even though, the food and drinks were terrible, I can say that the service was not. That is the only positive aspect I can point out. We were seated quickly, and our waitress was attentive and responsive, even during busy moments. This made me wonder if they receive overflow customers from nearby restaurants with holding. As this was the following position that me and person that I went with were positioned in. Below are the items we ordered, along with detailed feedback on their overall taste: ------------------------------------------------- Items Ordered: - 2 orders | Birria Tacos ($$37.90) comment: I never thought it was possible to receive birria tacos where both the meat and the sauce were completely tasteless. No matter how much I tried to use the sauce and other condiments provided, nothing improved the flavor. While eating, I kept thinking that even Taco Bell would have made more decent tacos. - 2 order | (Custom Order) Strawberry Mojito ($28.00) comment: Might as well have ordered straight liquor, as the mixed drinks just tasted exactly like that with some sort of sweet syrup that did nothing to appease the overall taste. - 1 order | Fried Mexican Cheese Sticks ($12.95) comment: Upon trying it, the first thing that stood out was a flavor that resembled cardboard, with only a very slight (and I mean slight) hint of Dorito chips. - 1 order | Expresso Martini ($15.00): comment: Tasted like straight vodka, nothing else - 1 order | Crunch Wrap Supreme ($20.90) comment: This was the only slightly decent item we ordered. Even then, when compared to a fast-food chain like Taco Bell, they would likely make a better wrap than what was served here--and for a lower price. CONCLUSION: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope they take this feedback as encouragement to improve their food and drink quality, because what was presented was truly disappointing. I came in expecting to enjoy a lunch date, and while it at least gave us something to laugh about, I'm serious when I say the items we ordered were atrocious. I would rate everything a 1/10, except for the Crunch wrap Supreme, which gets a 3/10.

Service was great, despite there being only 1 server when I was in. Food was great. Had the carne asade fries to start, it's served on crispy waffle fries and the carne asade was super tender.

There was a consistent steady flow of customers, eating in and picking up orders to go. On this frigid day I think that is a testament to the quality of the establishment. The decor inside is delightful, they have potted plants hanging from the ceiling with vines sprawling out, growing along strategically placed lines across the ceiling. Several playful piñatas are strewn about. It was a quiet, calm atmosphere. Even with the grills and ovens clearly cranking the dining room was chilled. Handmade signs are everywhere most in Spanish, with some English translations underneath. Laminated menus are also available. We waited what I thought was an appropriate time for our food, the items were brought out at separate times. One item completely forgotten, so we took it to-go. Fine though we were stuffed with what we had. We had ordered one steak and one shrimp taco (3 of each came out) definitely a miscommunication but sour cream on the side was noted and came on the side. We also enjoyed chips with a spicy green salsa, along with a voluptuous chicken quesadilla.

So heads up for three kids quesadillas a burrito and a set of three tacos and 5 drinks we spent…read moreover $100. Was not ready for the kids food which was mentioned was off menue to cost as much as regular adult orders. Honestly a bit absurd. For that cost and what we received we won't be back. The tortillas for my tacos fell apart while eating them the doubling it up isn't holding it together. The kids - who love quesadillas- were not interested in these at all which sucks for the price you pay. The three small tacos I received were ok. My husbands burrito was also just ok. We really wanted to like this place, we love this type of food and the branding they have is so fun! It just didn't do it for us.

I was in the mood for a quesadilla so I decided to give Tacos Diablo a try…read more With that known, I ordered a chicken quesadilla and it was fine. To explain, the tortilla was fresh and cooked perfectly. However, the quesadilla was very thin and didn't have much in it. The only thing inside the quesadilla was chicken and cheese which led to it being a bit dry. The quesadilla definitely needed some type of sauce. At least the chicken itself was flavorful and tender. That being said, it was simply an average quesadilla. To be brief, Tacos Diablo has acceptable quesadillas, but they are nothing special.

We had a reservation at 6pm and felt invisible when we walked in, just to be seated in a table 5 feet away. Maybe they were understaffed, but friendly staff could have gone a long way here. We started with cocktails and they were all good. We didn't really have opportunities to order more, so I only tried one. We started with the Fried Burrata and Caesar salad. The fried buratta was delicious but not enough bread, or a spoon served with it so most of the sauce went to waste. We loved the pesto on the dish. The Caesar salad was extremely underdressed and under seasoned. None of us enjoyed it. We then ordered entrees, I got the flat iron and they ordered the carbonara and the burger. The flat iron was ordered rare, and served blue. The steak and sauce on it was cold. I didn't complain because I didn't want to try and call her over, they did not check on us after the food was delivered. The sauce on it was okay but I think it took away from the flavor of the meat, very strong cumin and chili flavor, a little gritty. The fries were good and the broccolini was mushy and overcooked. The carbonara was also a miss, it was overly peppered and unpleasant to eat. This dish was ultimately sent back and we explained it was overly peppered and inedible, and she ordered something else. My friend who ordered the burger really enjoyed it and it looked great. The server was not accommodating at all and barely checked on us. We sent food back and the server just threw it away without a thought in the world, and it remained on the bill. At this point we just wanted to pay and leave. Bad service can ruin a night, and it put a damper on our girls night out. My photos came out impeccable, unfortunately most of it looked better than it tasted. I could look over bad service if the food was great, but when neither is, it's a hard pass from me.

Well, at least we kept our word today when we ordered their two different bowls for takeout. My wife ordered the Fishbowl ($30) with the grilled fish of the day (salmon), cherry tomatoes, quinoa, feta, peaches, arugula, and basil lime vinaigrette (she said no to onions). She could not get over how tasty the quinoa tasted and wondered how they prepared it. She also thought the peaches could have been a little sweeter since we are in prime peach season. While the salmon was just slightly overcooked we'll attribute that to it continuing to cook as we drove the meals home. Even with those minor negatives, she said she would definitely order the dish again. I chose the Poke Bowl ($35) for my meal (my first ever poke bowl) with marinated raw tuna and salmon, edamame, cucumber, watermelon radish, snap peas, nori, avocado, sesame seeds, scallions, and pea tendrils, all over sushi rice with ginger gochugaru oil and soy sauce on the side. This was absolutely delicious. It was a wonderful blend of fresh flavors and textures. If I have another poke bowl somewhere else I only hope it can come close to measuring up to the enjoyment I experienced with this one.
