I was near IAH craving some authentic Mexican food. Of course I came to Yelp and landed on Los Charros. As I made my way to the restaurant, I was a little "nervous" that I wasn't going to the right place. Then I saw it. As soon as I entered, I knew I was on for a treat. I ordered chilaquiles along with some fajita on top. Jackpot. The food was great and came out quicker than I could ever expect. The wait staff were very attentive and polite. I ordered in mix English-Spanish before my waitress replied to me in English. While I was there, there was a Tejano music duo going table to table playing songs. I recognized some of the jams. Best of all? The place was cheap! Highly recommend! read more

Food was delicious and freshly made. Minus one star for undercooked flour tortillas, but I'd definitely go back. read more

A coworker who is a connoisseur of authentic Mexican food recommended this place. And since it's not a crazy distance from our office, we order from here every now & then. It's by far nothing fancy of an establishment, but the food is cooked as if from a sweet abuela's kitchen. To be honest, I would rather call-in an order for pickup than dine-in. Unless you reside in the neighborhood, you might get weird glances. But, the food (and price) are definitely worth the stop in. They don't skimp out, that's for sure... You get your dollar's worth every time! Some assembly required. I like to call it a build-a-meal... This place heaps generous portions of their menu selections onto your plate (or to-go boxes), you have to pile it high before shoving it into your eager mouth! Today, for example, on this colder than usual Houston day, I ordered a Sopa de Rez (Caldo). I got a deconstructed soup, with each item carefully packed in its own little container: the piping broth with vegetables (chayote, red potato, carrots, and cob corn), buttery tender beef shank pieces, rice, and (half a dozen!) perfectly chewy flour tortillas. I threw a little bit of everything into a bowl and even though I barely put a dent in it - wow did I enjoy it!!! Plenty for leftovers later... Heck yeah. Whenever Ms. Amalia mentions a run to Los Charros and asks who's in, I excitedly jump to the front of the line. read more

Use to be good, Not anymore, I don't understand how people can say authentic when tortillas use to be home made and now they are just like any other imitation restaurants with store bought tortillas that taste like plastic. There is nothing authentic about store bought tortillas!!! Will not be returning, Indios down the street has real homemade tortillas... read more

Delicious! The reviews were spot on . Definitely will check it out again when I come back to Houston!

I had the Carne Asada. It was excellent. Very cool neighborhood joint. Excellent service. Very authentic setting. Highly recommended.

Visiting from California in Houston; I was craving for carne asada and decided to look for a no too fancy place and found Los Charros. Previous reviews put this place with 4.5 so I wanted to see by myself, or taste by myself. I ordered the carne asada taco and al pastor. Not too fancy presented but as soon I bite it the flavor of this carne asada went all over indicating that was exactly what I was craving for. Full of flavor, tender and a very good portion of meat form$2.50, excellent price. Service was attentive and prompt. Ambiance, I will definitely work on that. I will recommend this carne asada tacos with a few add ons. Side order of guacamole Limes Chopped onions and cilantro With your respective beer. The place is not fancy, but the flavor of these tacos are great. read more

Food was great and the price was even better! We were in the area and got hungry, so we stopped here for lunch. We got here at 1pm on a Saturday and still found tables even though the parking lot was full. My husband got 3 tacos: barbacoa, pierna (pork leg) and lengua on corn tortillas. His favorite was the pierna (pork leg). I got a small caldo de res and taco de lengua. The caldo was delicious and beefy and there was so much beef in my soup I went into beef coma. The salsa was nice and spicy just like the one I grew up on. The one thing I was not a fan of was the vegetables in my caldo did not have the skin peeled off--the red potato is fine with the skin on and I can live with the carrot skin too and while I love chayote I do not like the skin on it when cooked so I was turned off by that. That's probably my only complaint. Otherwise, I enjoyed the generous portion of veggies and beef in my caldo! Definitely will be coming here for the soups when it gets cold again. The agua de Jamaica was the flavorful and very sweet. I definitely liked the corn tortillas more than the flour. We will be coming back soon. read more

This one is hard to rate. First the good. Great fajitas, charro beans and homemade tortillas and for just $13.95!!! Heck of a deal. Red salsa and rice had a wield taste and did it touch them. I am willing to try them again to see if it was just a bad batch. Place was clean inside and great service, but looks sketchy from the outside read more

Only been here a couple of times, but can say I like it. Good enough space, music not blaring & staff generally nice. Prices are right too. My recent visit was for breakfast. Huevos rancheros were very good. The sauce well seasoned without being salty. Tortillas were just thick enough. Beans & pappas tasty too. This go round it took me a sec to get my waitresses attention when asking for water or coffee refill. Literally walked past me 3 or 4 times; another waitress ended up bringing it to me. And no it wasn't a busy Saturday & I wasn't in a hurry. There was an unpleasant smell overtaking the joint. Not sure if pipe burst or what but it was pretty bad. I stuck it out for the food lol. I love dives, family run, hole in the wall, food truck stand type places. So its not coming from a snobby POV. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but will be back. Gotta get my stars up to match the other reviews of this joint. Yelp on my friends! read more

Service is great, they serve salsa and chips while you wait for your food. Micheladas are on point, spice, flavor it's all there. Horchata is bomb, I've ordered just that a few times. They have a wide variety of food options. Charros beans are good, I ordered a small and it's a nice portion definitely recommend. I can't wait to try other dishes they have. read more

First visit. This is a "hole in the wall" type place (compliment btw). This is NOT Tex-Mex but rather original mexican food. Amazing taste & service!! Very reasonable prices too. read more

Decent sized restaurant on a side street, near my favorite mexican restaurant. They provide free queso with your chips and salsa. No lunch menu per se, just a list of specialty items on the 1st 2 pages of the 4 page menu. They offer 1 lunch special every weekday. I ordered the carne guisada (Monday's special) for $7.95. My colleague and I chose both the homemade flour and the homemade corn tortillas. The meal comes with tortillas, pico and guacamole. I enjoyed it, even if the guisada was a little on the salty side. They offer a few aguas frescas on the menu, so I ordered the melon which was pretty good, just had a lot of foam in it. Service was friendly and attentive. I'd probably only return if I was in the area and my fav mexican place was closed again... read more

An unexpected gem found. Food was unbelievably good. Service was excellent. Don't let the exterior sway you from going.

It's the typical Mexican restaurant of Houston. Very big menu selection and the food kicks ass. Very good food, huge shrimp cocktails. I don't ever look at how much things cost here, I just ball out, the tacos are that good here. Occasional mariachi or tejano/ norteño live music while you eat, if you like pot bellied old men playing the guitar or trumpet in your face, while you dip your chips in the salsa. This place is packed on weekends and open late. It goes down, awesome ambiance. read more

Definitely a hidden gem! I've came here already a few times for lunch. It amazes me that I can sit down, order my food, enjoy my meal and back to work within the hour. The staff works quick and the are extremely attentive. I've ordered enchiladas, cheeseburger, tacos, fajitas before from here and I have not been disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant especially if you are on the go! read more

The food is great and the service is awesome! This place is a very family friendly restaurant! You're always greeted with a smile and they're very attentive. The Micheladas, Margaritas and Piña Coladas are awesome! Not to mention the Molcajete (consists of shrimp, Fajita & Chicken) served with charro beans and rice. Yum! The shrimp cocktail and Camaron botana is great as well! If you're looking for great food at an affordable price, this place is it! read more

Should have walked out when nacho cheese from a can that you get at WalMart was placed in front of me. Michelada was not spicy or even had a kick. Tasted mostly the beer. Flautas has shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.... From a bag. My bf ordered two fajita tacos with avocado, grilled onions, and cilantro and a fajita Gordita. That definitely wasn't beef fajita. It was some kind of steak. Taco was plain. Had to ask for it to be corrected just to get it on the side and regular chopped onion. Not quite sure how tf this place got 4.5 stars but save yourself the disappointment. I'd give zero stars if I could. read more

This is fast becoming my favorite Mexican Reatraunt. The fried tripas are excellent. Very Hardy serving of tripas, rice, beans and guacamole/salsa. The tortillas are just likes mom. The staff excellent and always with a smile. They are there to serve you, yet when busy they can get overwhelmed and come for table only once, but overall they are all great. The tables comes with chili cheese and warm salsa and chips. Can't say but it is a great place to eat for lunch or dinner..come on go try these fried tripas, you won't regret. Oh and the food prices are very affordable read more

Los Charros - Saturday special, notice how fresh the pico and guacamole looks - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I ordered a burrito that says it includes lettuce, avocado, tomato, and sour cream. It came with beans. I asked the server and she said it does come With beans. I attempted to eat it and didn't like it. My boyfriend then mentioned it and she brought a menu pointing to the "special burritos" which isn't what I ordered from. She said "it's okay" yet continued to charge us for it. My boyfriend then said something to the cashier who was nice enough to remove it but seemed a bit annoyed at the same time. The one star goes to the limonada and horchata. read more
