Came in after a long drive in from Austin. We wanted to try some local Mexican food and found this nearby. The menu was very easy to read and even though they don't have a lot of options I liked that they are able to focus on the things they do offer. Everything was so good. We could see the kitchen and it looks like they're making the tortillas as they're ordered. The ambiance reminded me so much of home (Mexico) I loved it. Everyone was so kind and loved interacting with our waitress. read more

After a funeral, my wife's family invited everyone to gather for lunch. The restaurant was small but very clean, and we truly appreciated how well they accommodated our large party of about 30 people. The staff was welcoming and handled everything smoothly. My wife and I ordered the queso fundido and some tacos--the food was delicious! Definitely a great spot for a good meal. read more

Told my husband this is supposed to be the best taco place in Horizon. We gave it a shot- ordered multiple tacos. The tortillas were good, the meat was pretty dry and lacked flavor. One of the salsas was spicy but had way too much salt. It was hardly edible while the other was watery and okay flavor profile wise. The restaurant was hot but at least they served ice cold coca cola. It was clean, although a little run down. Honestly the runned down is fine if the food matches the ambience but over all it was a let down. So what were the ups? Great service. If you're in a hurry and need something edible than it works. For the price, you can get better tacos elsewhere. I wouldn't say it's really bad, but we wouldn't make the trip there again. read more

So good! Quesadillas were great. Tacos were great. Good idea to call in order for pick up instead of ordering inside and waiting.

What a great little place to eat! Service was great and so was the food. Tacos are delicious, flavorful and authentic. Prices for this place were a little high BUT the price they charge for their drinks is outlandish! Almost $5 for a lemonade really! $2.99 for a jarritos! Overall, a great place to eat! read more

Very good quality Carne Asada meat, homemade corn tortillas, fresh vegetables, at a good price. The service is excellent.

Solid 2 stars I am swwwworrrrryyyy not really but come on you call these tacos? Como? How's this Horizons best... I have to differ. Me and my boyfriend were visiting and I was craving tacos. As always I use Yelp (and gotta give credit to Open table too ) for my food Necessities and saw that this place had 4.5 stars. That's pretty good on yelp but I soon came to find that this has to be a Flaw or something because the food was not good at all. The meat... there almost was none! I had more tortillas than carne That's ridiculous! I'm used to my tacos having some meat in them but I guess. The service was rude and careless. The girl in the front just wanted me in and out lol come to find out there two enterneces to this place so be mindful if you plan on eating in or taking out. I made the mistake to order for take out and I went to go sit down and I also guess you can't do that. If you ordered your food to go, it's to go. I thought that sucked... especially since I promptly change my food decisions. Yeaaaaaa idk but I personally wasn't a big fan, we had to go out again and get something because we were just not satisfied. read more

Good tacos but horrible service. Only 2 tables full when my husband and I Walked in. The other table with 2 people and another table with 6 people who were mostly finished eating but still talking. Ordered, food came out, no one came by to ask for refills or how everything was going while we were eating. I needed a refill of lemonade and more salsa but still continued eating, thinking someone would eventually come by. I finished and still couldn't get anyone to come by to ask for a box to take the leftovers. The other tables received service just fine, the cooks saw me trying to get their attention or someone's attention and still nothing, this went on for about 10 minutes. Someone saw me trying to call someone and called out the number of my table. Still, no one came by. By this time an employee was talking to the table of 6 who were leaving. They seemed to know each other. Finally I was able to flag a lady down and asked her for a box. She left walked around for a bit, and by this time I was annoyed. I picked up my 2 tacos and wrapped them in a napkin. Hey everything is expensive nowadays and I really like their tacos. Right before I got to the register she came up with a box and the salsa. I told her I didn't need the box but took the salsa. I'm never going back as much as I like the tacos. I've been going to tacos el charly since it was just a little shack on darrington and it's so disappointing. Ohhhh and 4.50 for a watered down lemonade is bonkers. read more

Very good tacos the best we've found in El Paso, so far. Los tripita bien dorada están muy buenos. Les puse 4 estrellas porque considero que si tuvieran mejores salsas, estarían más buenos. Pero con la salsa de guacamole me conformo mucho, pues ya no como tanto picante. read more

The menu is simple but delicious! They serve the most popular kinds of tacos that include, tacos de asada, tacos de buche, tacos de al pastor and tacos de tripitas. The waiters are prompt and the food is served rapidly. read more

Grear authentic Mexican food and priced well. We got 4 tacos (2 al pastor and 2 carne asada) which came with a baked potato, grilled green onions, cilantro, lime and salsa. The tacos are smaller than "normal", and were pretty good. Also got the queso which comes with 5 small corn tortillas. The queso had bits of jalapeno and chorizo, and was so delicious! It was just a bit difficult to eat when wrapped in tin foil. As the cheese hardens, you can't scrape off the cheese very easily without tearing the foil. The lady taking our order was super friendly and helpful. She even gave us horchata on the house when we came back to pick up our food. read more

Place was busy when we went, only one party allowed in at a time (this was about a month ago though, before texas opened up). After we walked in and placed our order, we were asked to wait 15-20 mins outside/in our car and come back. Food was fresh and made to order. Better sinage about what exactly to do would be useful...if this is still the practice, consider calling ahead to confirm and/or order ahead of time. read more

Absolutely the best authentic mexican food I have EVER had, no joke. The simplicity in it with it being mostly tacos and quesadillas, it was just simply amazing. It was absolutely what me and my spouse needed on our travels through Texas ! Not to mention the service was amazing ! They were so polite to us, checked on us throughout our meal it was refreshing. The restaurant itself was very nice as well and had a welcoming feel to it, bathrooms were very clean as well.. who doesn't appreciate a clean bathroom !!! If I'm ever for whatever reason in the area I would definitely dine again ! ohhh and me and my spouse got the 2 quesadillas with potatoes. read more

The locals are loco for recommending this place. The tacos , I mean all flavors are mediocre at best. The salsa is weak, the tortillas measure 3 inches folded, and the they just are not good. The fixings are not tastefully presented. The potato was the only good thing but you don't come for the potato. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. read more

Service was very extremely fast. Food was very delicious and highly recommend. reasonably priced, but get ready for that 3% edit for pain, credit or debit read more

Is it possible to become a Mexican by eating a taco? Si, como que no! From your first bite you'll be saying 'Arriba!' It starts with some Rojo and Verde Salsa, (red and green for the gringo) the salsa is a bit spicy so wait for your beverages if your not accustomed to eating spicy food. Then order your tacos, they come in multiples of 2, up to 6 ($1.49 A' la carte) Also served with a baked potato and roasted 'cebollitas' (onion) Delicious tacos at a great price. Just enough grease to make you feel official. A Bite More: Mix and match your order with different choice of meats. Carne asada is beef, nice mix of spices with a slight taste of soy sauce. Al pastor is pork, a tasty mix of red chilies and spices. Mucho Bueno! No beer, no real dessert, but there is a great mexican bakery across the street. Also order an avocado on the side, a classic mexican coke, and torreadas (roasted jalapeño) Aya aya ya! Dine in for a quick meal, they are faster than speedy Gonzales. The location is a bit of a drive from El Paso, but worth it if your in the area. They started out as a small taco stand and it grew from there. The staff is super friendly. Great family place. Disfrute! And make sure you have your papers when returning to El Paso, this place is awesome! read more

Every option is very good. Their tripitas a medio termino are divine. Take out option is the best way to go so you can enjoy them at home

Since we began eating at Tacos El Charly, we have not had a bad meal. The service is friendly and courteous. We hardly ever wait more than ten minutes for our food. My grandchildren can be fussy about their food, but they enjoy their tacos and queso with chorizo. The place is clean and the drinks are cold. I see people walk in with beer, so I guess you bring in your own alcohol. There is entertainment on the weekends. It does get pretty busy starting on Friday. The place is packed and their take-out station is filled to the max with people picking up their orders. Tacos El Charly is reasonably priced and a great place for a family on a budget. If you are looking for a great platter of tacos, this is the place for you! read more

Went here on a suggestion from a regular. Not much to look at from the outside and an interesting interior as well. There wast much going on where the cooks were, so I'm not even sure where the food was cooked. So, this was my first time getting a potato with Mexican food and it came with a very large pat of butter/margarine. Nothing special about it, it is just a potato though. We decided on the crispy tripitas and al pastor tacos. The tripitas were quite crispy, but did have that "could be cleaner" taste to them. The al pastor was very tasty as well. The spotlight for me was the green salsa. Very tasty with a decent kick of heat to it, which is usually not as spicy as other salsa, but a very welcome addition. I could definitely use more of it. Over all, a nice place with a friendly staff. read more

Papa asada and the tacos are always my go to when I come to this place. My kids love the tacos and the quesadillas. Before Covid it was also a nice place to go to for live music and karaoke. It's a good place to go when you have a big family, you can buy the parrillada with some queso fundido! So so good! The salsas they have for the tacos are good as well and the limonada and horchata. They always have the food ready quick when you order to go as well and give you the whole set up to take home. Nice little spot in horizon read more

Tacos El Charly - Breakfast tacos... - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

For some regular looking tacos I will say tacos El Charly is extremely addicting. This place started off as a small food truck only open a few days out of the week and weekends then eventually into a tiny five table little shack and now into a full blown restaurant. Tacos el Charly has some greasy little tacos that you know can't be good for your effort to remove those love handles but damn are they delicious !!! The tacos al pastor with some chile' negra as they call it are some of the best tacos I have ever had. Don't believe me try some and see if you can resist coming back. Now I'm not talking to all the healthy I only eat salad everywhere I go people, if your one of those stay far far away from here! Tacos El Charly is in Horizon but worth the trip. Depending on where your coming from I'd say try taking Joe battle to the pellicano exit east toward Horizon then turn rite on Darrington instead of driving all the way out to i10. You will eventually end up on Horizon Blvd and tacos el Charly is in a yellow building on the left at the four way light. Ps: if you look at the name it's called tacos El Charly not rice and beans el Charly not burritos el Charly so dnt expect to find a full blown Mexican chain restaurant menu !!! Come for tacos and you will be pleased . read more

the al pastor tacos here are better than don cuco, which is my "fave" but there is no salsa bar here :/ i had to ask a stranger next to me how to say 81 in spanish so i would know when my order was up, since they yell out your number when its ready. this kind stranger asked the staff to say my # in english lol. i was kinda intimidated by not being mexican but that was really cool. when i came it was a friday night and it was packed to the gills.. great tacos but i hate crowds so donno if it would be my first pick. i was just watching mike chen's youtube on tacos in mexico and he went to a place called charly's. coincidence? read more

Delicious mexican tacos!! Very nice people and the cook smiles and greets you if you greet him. Authentic mexican food. Love it!!

This place was really good! We came on a Sunday at noon. We had the 4 carne asada tacos and 4 tacos of each meat. It comes with a baked potato and all the fixings for the tacos (grilled onions, cilantro, radish slices and lime). And then we split a small menudo which was really tasty! I like my menudo with a dark red color and a good kick to it... and they had that here. Service was great (Thanks Pablo), the TVs had football games on and you seat yourself. The menudo ran out right after we got there. Try this place! read more
