Great appetizer
Alfonso D.

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!

Not enough tripa ?!!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

I was very excited to try this place for the machaca and green chile combo. Unfortunately the…read morespecial seafood crab one (it was basically the crab sticks) wasn't as good as I thought. It was very heavy and very cheesy. There was something super heavy about that I cant describe. The staff was super nice and got us our food and drinks and refilled our salsa n chips often. My friend had the mole item and felt it was way too sweet/cocoa on it. Overall I would've wanted to try the other machaca items and other things. The vibe is very homely and chill, bit of a hole in the wall atmosphere.

I had just flown in from the airport, and my brother arranged it as a special family gathering. Everything started normally: we were seated, ordered our food, received our drinks, and enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. Then my sister (who is LGBTQ+) stepped away to use the restroom. When she returned and sat down, a manager approached our table and loudly told her--in front of other diners--that "MEN cannot use the female restroom." My sister was mortified and humiliated by the public confrontation. The manager's tone and assumption were shocking and clearly discriminatory. We immediately got up and left without eating. This wasn't about enforcing any legitimate policy; it was rude, insensitive, and targeted. My adult sister is perfectly capable of reading the restroom signs herself--no one needed to police or shame her in such a way. The incident felt rooted in homophobia and transphobia from management. We will never return to this place, and we will actively discourage others--especially LGBTQ+ individuals and allies--from patronizing it. What should have been a joyful family milestone was ruined by bigotry. Avoid this establishment if you value respect and inclusivity.

I've been a loyal customer of this establishment since 2008. While the food was never the primary…read morereason I returned, the excellent margaritas and outstanding service kept me coming back for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

I bumped it up to four stars for the super friendly service and the excellent aguas frescas. We got there late, about an hour before closing and they were literally trying to get rid of the aguas for free. I guess they have to dump it if they don't use it all. It was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Portion sizes are good. The taco platter comes with six tacos! I had the flautas Chinampa which came with four beef flautas, beans, rice, and salad. I forgot, the taco platter even came with a baked potato. Prices were excellent. We had gone to McDonald's in the morning and spent more. They also cave us frijoles charros for free. Not sure if this was standard or if they were also trying to get rid of it. I would return for the service and the convenience, but if you're looking for life changing Mexican cuisine, it's not here. What you get is a good amount of decent food at a good price served by great people.
