Try a torta and a taco, pick your protein, and a sugar-cane Coke in a bottle! Add a little green sauce and WHAMO! The best lunch in St Charles! The family that runs it is extremely friendly, and they are always prepared to graciously accommodate us english-only speakers. This is NOT full service dining - you need to bus your own table and grab your own drinks. Not doing so is considered impolite. They bring your food out to you. Please keep this in mind when visiting.

The restaurant is found in the back of the grocery store and they have tables to sit at if you want to dine in. I came here almost three times a week early in my pregnancy to get a beef Gordita. Their salsa is very good, but really spicy, especially the red one, so be careful! The cashier and cooks are very friendly and helpful. You can also snag a snack or two to bring back home!

El Jarocho is exactly what you hope for when you want real, unfussy street tacos done right…read more We ordered pretty much all the street tacos to get a full sense of the menu, and it turned out to be a great way to do it. Everything came out fast, hot, and generously portioned, with the classic setup: warm corn tortillas, chopped onion, cilantro, lime, and a lineup of salsas to round things up. The birria tacos were the clear standout. Deeply savory, rich without being greasy, and packed with tender meat that tastes like it was cooked with real care. Don't forget the consomé to level these up even further. These were easily our favorite -- the kind you keep thinking about after your meal is over. The other meats were solid across the board, and it was fun to compare them side by side. Nothing felt like filler, and the tortillas held up well even as we worked through a full tray. Portions are generous and the prices feel fair, especially considering how satisfying the tacos are. This is the place you come when you want legit tacos. Don't skip the birria. We'll definitely be back.

Instead I was instructed to order my tacos from the woman at the cash register. My tacos were then handed to me in a to-go container after around 5 minutes I got chicken and steak tacos and both were very basic, but tasted amazing. The only toppings on the tacos were onions and cilantro, but they also came with lime and a sauce that was very spicy. The tacos came on two toasted tortillas each, which provided them with a little crunch
