The birria tacos are awesome but the service is very very slow. Even on nights when there are only a few tables. The restaurant is very clean and they have a variety of salsas to choose from. Their margaritas are not very good though which is disappointing for a Mexican restaurant read more

I've eaten here a dozen times or more. It never disappoints. Cheese enchilada plate, any of the tacos (barbacoa is my personal favorite) and the horchata is the best I've tasted in Western New York. read more

The food is very good. I ordered 3 birria tacos and they were delicious. The beef broth was very good too. I also ordered a pork tamale and it was very good. Their salsa is also delicious. The restaurant was very clean and our server was nice. I will be back. read more

Great service, delicious food, clean dining area, and fair prices. We eat here all the time and always have an excellent experience.

This is my favorite Mexican place to eat in the Falls. It's not very big, but homey and decorated in a Mexican theme. I have eaten other things, but I can almost never get past the tacos. They are friggin' magnificent. I usually have three, but sensible people will probably only need two. I have tried almost every taco on the menu, and they are all great, but my standard trio is campechanos, lengua, and barbacoa. I love them the most. Savory, and deliciously spicy. They serve chips and salsa, and I'm pretty sure they make both there, and they are really good. They also have a little fixins bar, with cilantro, lime, and whatever else you need for tacos. This is one of my most recommended places to eat for friends coming into town for supper. Every single person I have sent has loved it. There are other Mexican places nearby, but this is hands-down my go-to. read more

Literally nothing in the area can beat El Charro. This is the best Mexican you can find. Birria? Slaps. Chori-queso? slaps. Toppings bar???? SLAPSSSS. I won't go anywhere else for Mexican. read more

A new restaurant opened up down the street from me so I had to stop for a visit. This building first started off as Dickies donuts , A burritos shop never would catch on, but this new Mexican restaurant is now in this location. Brand new menu. They're changing it all the time. Food was very very tasty. I like my Mexican food hot and it was hot be careful what you ask for. The staff was very friendly. Made some good suggestions but before I really give it a review I'm going to stop a few more times And go through the menu a little bit It seems to me this is a very nice place to have a quick lunch and get back on the road read more

We were lucky to choose Taco Tuesday evening for our visit. The tacos are normally $3 each but for taco Tuesday they are $1. 99. I opted for three chicken tacos. They were loaded with chicken and you add your own toppings from their fixings bar. This was plenty for a meal for me. They came in a double soft corn tortilla shell. Of course we started with the complimentary chips and salsa. My wife ordered a steak burrito of which she finished half, as that was plenty for her. There is no alcohol service at the moment. The food and service were both very good and I am sure we will be back. read more

I live this place. The food is amazing and the customer service is out of this world. I really enjoy the tacos and quesedillas. My favorite part is the condiment bar when you can pick and choose your salsas and peppers. It's absolutely delicious. My fiance loves the food. He always talks about how authentic it is. I can't wait to go back. I highly reccomend. One thing I wish they had is a liquor license. That food with a mango margarita would be amazing. I hope it happens soon!!! read more

I've been to La Divina several times. I've been to Los Mayas. I've done La Galera for years. El Charro is the best. It's the only thing that brings me back to some of the places I used to go to in Chicago. I'm so ecstatic it's here and it's close to me. read more

Great atmosphere! Amazing service! The food was excellent! I got the steak quesadilla which had a lot of steak and the cheese was very melty.( All good things)Was alittle bummed that they didn't have horchata's today. But the passion fruit juice was really good. Definitely recommend and I will enjoy this place again!! read more

Stayed at campground close by Server was friendly. Food was delish. We'd been missing our Mexican food (we're from California ) and this place was fantastic ! Definitely would recommend. Inside ambience was authentic. Playing Mexican music overhead. read more

I stopped in for a quick take out lunch. They have a TON of options- between tacos, burritos, tortas, as well as starters. I opted for an easy carnitas burrito. The meat was super tender and it came with rice, beans, cheese, and there is a Complete salsa bar that was a great bonus. I got some pico de gallo as well as an avocado and cilantro salsa. Very creamy and the perfect topping to this. I waited a bit, but it was a busy lunch crowd, so there's nothing you can do about that. I'll be back to try the Birria! read more

Taqueria El Charro - Carnitas burrito - Mexican Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

Honestly, I feel horrible leaving a one-star review... I'm not that type of person and generally don't like to complain because I appreciate how difficult and hectic working in a restaurant can be. In fact, we did not complain here either- we just chose to pay our bill and leave. The food was... awful. We got chicken nachos & it looked like canned chicken. The strawberry lemonades were dole brand strawberry lemonades in plastic bottles. My asada quesadilla tasted like greasy, low quality steak and cheese sub, and neither of our teenagers could take more than a few bites of their burritos. My fiancé got birria tacos and they were not crunchy at all- they were floppy and soggy, and the sauce was straight grease with no flavor. Honestly, do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to eat. We are here on vacation and I like to eat local when we're on a trip, but I really wish we had gone to Chili's or Olive Garden tonight. The only good thing I have to say is that the waitress was really nice. read more

New local establishment, checked out the menu online and I must say it was looking pretty satisfying. I opted for a Birria which was suggested by a friend. It consisted of four tortillas filled with the stew's tender, juicy meat. The tortillas are dipped in the thin layer of fat that floats to the top of the birria, then filled with meat and thrown on the griddle, giving them their Yelp worthy look and addictively crispy exterior. It also comes with a traditional ancestral soup or stew made from a combination of chili pepper-based goat meat adobo, garlic, cumin, bay leaves, and thyme, and cooked at a low heat. Would definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back. read more

Taqueria El Charro - Birrias w/rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

Amazing new taqueria around Niagara Falls. Recently opened and their staffs were friendly and helpful. Went there during lunch hours on Friday and wasn't so busy. Food came out pretty quick and very tasty. If you are ordering tacos, there's a separate toppings bar, similar to most taqueria around US. Ordered 3 tacos (2 tripas and 1 lengua) and a regular horchata drink. I was dining in the restaurant so they gave me free chips and salsa. Foods and drink were really tasty and fresh. Server was friendly and gave great recommendations on what to order. Overall, this new taqueria is worth a stop if you are visiting the falls. read more

What a shit hole. Lousy service, lousy food and place was disgusting! There wasn't a garbage can near us to throw our food out fast enough! Never got half the items we ordered and they refused to take it off of the bill. Server was too busy stuffing his face to take care of anybody. This place is Not For Long!! I give it zero stars. Please don't go! read more

Truly authentic, best Mexican place in town! taste just like back home, puts me in my comfort place, great range of mild to spicy. Authentic ambience also. Will continue to dine there, but also do takeout. read more

This is an authentic Mexican restaurant. Food was delicious and the service was great. I wish I was a local because I would make this my local spot. Ambiance was relaxed and family friendly! read more

In a hot day the dining room was warm. Unfortunately the server struggled to answer my questions due to her limited knowledge of English. When I tried to order a horchata and lengua taco they didn't have any. The beef taco I had was disappointing because it had a fatty grisly piece of meat in it which was unappetizing. Wanted it to be a good experience but it just continued to go downhill. It got busy and there were only two servers and it took a while to get the bill and pay for it on a line with take out orders. Then the credit card wasn't accepted and I had to use another one. read more

This place is perfect. Delicious food at a reasonable price. I stop here when I'm in the area and it's always consistent. The staff are always polite and friendly. Food is home made and authentic. I am happy to see them doing well ! Stop by. You won't be disappointed. read more

Don't go here. Terrible. Better off at Taco Bell or La Galera. Who wants a big pile of good Mexican food fast when you can wait in a long line or get food made somewhere off site some time ago elsewhere. Leave this place to the idiots who like good food fast and friendly servers and an open salsa bar. read more

Food here is amazing. We ordered 4 different tacos, asada (steak), pollo (chicken), carnitas (pork) and molida (ground beef) and all of them were delicious. They have a toppings bar too so you can add what you like to each taco, including radishes (something you rarely see in non authentic places) and limes. Highly recommend this hidden gem. read more

Nice people that refuse to make American style burritos or offer an option. Hit or miss if you get close to what you want unfortunately.

To start chips. Salsa. Queso on point. Very cute Aztec feel. Service. Fast and friendly read more

Definitely doesn't look like much on the outside but once you go inside it has so much character and the employees were really nice and helpful I didn't know what I wanted and they gave me some recommendations they also let me try their top three specialty drink (non alcoholic) and they were all great I'll chose the passion fruit drink and it was to die for absolutely the highlight of the entire visit!!! The churros are really good but the actual food was average I got the chicken nachos I believe (didn't get a picture) but it's a build your own toppings kinda thing and my daughter got a chicken taco with rice and beans ! I'd definitely go back for the drink over and over again ! read more

My mother and I came here while on vacation. We picked this place based off of the reviews. This restaurant opened this year, which I loved! Something positive happening in this world we're living in. Moving on, my mother ordered steak tacos and I ordered a chicken burrito. The food had a lot of flavor. The steak wasn't rubbery and the chicken wasn't dry. The toppings like sauces and salsa were yummy and self serve. The only con was the food was like room temperature. If ever in the area again I would come again. Just need hot food. read more

Great food. Great service. ORDER THE BIRRIA TACOS!! The owner is great and these are the most authentic Mexican tacos in the area. read more

ordered Birria tacos and was served the most oily, tasteless plate of food. I came here on a recommendation, and I plan to tell my friend to stop recommending this place. Service was fine, pretty quick. Ambiance is alright. Tables and floor were sticky, though. Just a bad experience overall. read more

Fabulous AUTHENTIC Mexican food. The tacos are insane!! Seeved with a consume dipping sauce that rocks! Service with a smile. I enjoyed every bite! I could only finish one of my three tacos and some of the rice and beans. They were quickly consumed by my husband when I returned home. The fresh salsa bar is awesome. Allowing you to finish your taco off with the toppings you like. Fresh Lettuce, Radishes, onions, cabbage, jalapeños and more. Multiple levels of heat to choose from and creamy avacado sauce. I highly recommend it. If you like either of the two popular Mexican restaurants in NF, you'll LOVE the authenticity of this great spot. Best of all, my meal was only 13.99. Try it, you'll like it! read more

I am very much happy to find a decent Mexican food spot in Town of Niagara! The restaurant is a nice size and has an ample amount of seating. They have a wonderful salsa bar with onions, cilantro, peppers, green verde sauce and 3 hot salsas! Me and my husband both had a carne asada burrito. The only thing that threw me off was the lettuce inside as it was a lil too wet so next time I will axe the lettuce. Other than that I can't wait to come back and try their nachos, quesadillas, etc. oh another bummer is they don't serve alcohol. I was looking forward to a nice margarita lol. Maybe they will get that going soon! read more

Servers have always been so nice and understanding . Food is always good (personally love birria dinners). Portion sizes are enough to make you full. The salsa bar is free (best part) has always been clean and fresh. Lots of room to sit area is open and vibrant colors. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic taste. Worth the money compared to other local places. read more
