Ok so I was originally going to a different lunch spot but we changed our minds and went thru every single food option in this plaza. Taqueria 3 Charras took our vote! Yes!! Absolutely packed for lunch, which is always a good sign :) they have approximately 4-6 tables, limited seating but the food is sooo delicious and authentic that sharing the table was not an issue. The minute you walk in you know is authentic by the heavy onion and garlic smells oh and the carne asada The staff is very pleasant and accommodating, they take the food to your table. There were a lot of "to go" clients which made it feel extra busy, good for them!! The decor... as funny as can be! Loved this place and coming back! Try the machaca burrito , without rice and beans or tortilla;) DELICIOUS Plenty of parking and inexpensive read more

The pastor and polo and asada tacos were the only ones I ate and they were... average. Which is good but nothing crazy. The salsa also average. The people are great! But I feel like I must have not ordered whatever set this place apart from the crowd. read more

Tacos tacos tacos! Heard about this place from friends who are fans of the Taco Tuesdays here. On the first visit, I was welcome in and immediately received kind and attentive service at the counter. Chose to get a plate to go that included a drink. Two asada tacos, beans, rice, and a cucumber lemonade. Tacos were so tasty! Beans and rice were good and the cucumber lemonade was refreshing. For the hubby, got him 2 birria tacos, beans and rice. Excellent! Came back within the same week and ate in the small seating area. There are two tables and chairs and seating area against the wall. Great service at the counter again and delicious eats! Asada nachos were on point. I was a curious about the chicharron tacos and got those. Hubby tried the al pastor taco and an encore of the birria tacos. Everything is delish! This taqueria is located in a strip mall across from Starbucks on Carson Street and among other businesses. So it's shared parking in a busy lot and we managed to get a space. According to the gal at the counter, they have been in business for about a year now. Wishing Taqueria Las 3 Charras long term success! read more

Got a Carne Asada Burrito (hold the rice and salsa). Pretty tasty burrito. Good quality tortilla. The meat was seasoned well. The beans had a creamy texture. Service was very friendly and prompt. There were 4 tables and a small wall counter for inside dining. No issues finding parking in the strip mall. read more

Taqueria Las 3 Charras - Mexican Near Me - Carson, California

I really like their tacos. They are very delicious. They have fast service. And its a nice little place.

Still relatively new to my work area, I have been on a breakfast burrito kick in the mornings! I came across this lil gem and decided to order a bacon, egg, cheese, potato, and bean burrito. This thing was packed with flavor and also the salsa was one of the best in the business! The portion size was just right, although I found it to be a tad too pricey at 12.49 incl tax. As for the establishment itself, it's a small hole in the wall located in an old strip mall. Parking is a little congested but still found plenty of parking at the time of day that I went. The employee was very friendly and warm. Dining area is small but there are a handful of tables and a counter to sit at. I am definitely looking forward to coming back here and ordering lunch! read more

Taqueria Las 3 Charras - Mexican Near Me - Carson, California

I'm so glad that I heard about this little mom and pop Mexican food place shortly after they opened. Anytime refried beans and rice actually have flavor and tastes good, I'm sold! Carne asada is not fatty which is another plus. I tried the birria tacos which contain a small amount of fat, but meat is very tender. I also like the crispy potato tacos and appreciate salsa on the side for to-go orders. Since I found out they sell chips & salsa, I haven't stopped going. Good for them, bad for me! Lol So-so: chicken tacos For some reason, I do not like the taste of the chicken used. This is rare because chicken is all I usually buy outside of non-meat items. Agua frescas and Jamaica are VERY sweet!! For me, the sugar content is way too much so I get canned soda with my combos. Beware if you are diabetic!!! Overall, I give this place 8/10. Flavor, customer service, and prices are a hit. Thank you for choosing the community. read more

Taqueria Las 3 Charras - Taco salad is yummy. I was half way through when I realized i didn't take a picture. - Mexican Near Me - Carson, California

What initially drew me into this restaurant was their unique "surf and turf" taco trio set! For around $12 which I thought was very reasonable. I asked if they could make them into crispy tacos and they said yes! Excellent service. I was charged around $2 more to "load them up" which I'm assuming was the lettuce, cheese, and tomato and I'm glad I did. Everything was up to standard and the flavors were all there. The proteins were seasoned nicely and the meat/shrimp portions were not skimped whatsoever. I will be returning, I'm excited to try their chilaquiles and everything else in between. Be warned though, my crispy tacos did get a little soggy when I made it home--but that's my fault since the trio originally is not meant to be crispy. I will continue to order them this way regardless! read more

First time trying this place yesterday and had a good experience all around! We live near by so we decided to walk & ordered through phone otw. We got there & it's a cute little place that seats 15 people I believe. The place is clean & the workers are super nice! We ordered 2 horchatas, a chicken wet burrito, a chicharron burrito, & cheese quesadilla (for my son). Honestly it was so good! I would most definitely come back! read more

Saw all the great reviews and thought I'd give this place a try. Got a carne asada burrito and it was very skimpy on the meat. On the positive the rice and beans had great flavor, but unfortunately that's all I could taste. Green salsa was also fire. Maybe it was just this one experience, I'll probably try their tacos on taco Tuesday. Service was also great. read more

Taqueria Las 3 Charras - Carne asada burrito. Very little meat, mostly just beans and rice - Mexican Near Me - Carson, California

So we've gone three times in total. I still consider it a good taco place. But it's never been as good as the first time. The issue is the consistency. Example, the first time we went the birria tacos had sauce inside, but not the two follow up times. Or the first time the fish taco had white sauce, but then the next time it was a pink spicy sauce. It's always good, but I don't quite know what to expect each time I go now. It's a newer restaurant, so hopefully they improve the consistency soon. read more

There tacos was so good , for my 1st time trying them . They have reasonable prices and the service was simple n nice .

I stumbled upon this place looking for a quick lunch, and now I can't stop coming back. The tacos are amazing and are seriously some of the best I've had for the price. I tried the lengua, chicharrón, and gobernador taco combo, and each one was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The lengua was tender, the chicharrón had just the right crunch and was not greasy like most other places, and the gobernador was rich and satisfying (great shrimp to cheese ratio). You can tell they use quality ingredients, and everything tastes super fresh. Fast service, great portions, and unbeatable prices. Only issue I had was their phone line is busy during the lunch rush so you won't be able to place a phone order at that time of day... read more

Very good food, and very reasonable prices. Enjoyed taco Tuesday, items are 1.99, ate two taco and feel stuffed. All the portions were great read more

Taqueria Las 3 Charras ... or what I lazily abbreviate: TL3C like a hypochondriac accidentally saying "TLC" when selling people bootleg CDs for a TLC album. ANYWAYS! .... I went here recently thanks to one of my awesome neighbors mentioning it (much love and thanks, Ash!) and I definitely wanted to check it out! It's in a strip mall that has a Starbucks that used to be Carson's Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles back in the days....so instant nostalgia right there. Parking is very ample and free around here. The actual building spot is small, but has a big heart when it comes to the cool customer service and food. The FOOD.... Okay... I tried their Birria taco and their Ensenada Fish taco because the workers said it's the bombbbbb. They weren't lying! Both were filled with flavor without them even being oily or tasting fatty. The ladies who took orders were some of the nicest and most welcoming people as well. Their food has a food truck mixed with a homely gourmet taste and feeling, which makes it stand out from other traditional spots. After tasting those 2 tacos, I will definitely be coming back to try more stuff from their menu! Great job all around! ¡No puedo esperar a comer más en un futuro muy cercano! 5 STARS! read more

Small, quaint, family run taqueria. The cashier was attentive and service was quick. This was my first visit so I ordered three different tacos and they did not disappoint. - Cabeza: The meat was very moist and tender, with a rich beefy flavor. - The Chicharron was crispy and savory. - The Birria was complex with a blend of spices for a deeply savory, tangy, and smoky flavor. The consomé, was a flavorful, savory. I will definitely be back to sample the remaining tacos on their menu. read more

I relied on Yelp reviews and decided to try this place. Unfortunately, it was not good! The birria was not seasoned and tough. I also received a quesabirria taco instead of a regular birria taco like I ordered. The shell for the chicken taco was similar to a hard shell from Taco Bell, and the rice/beans were bland and the salsa was too spicy. Friendly customer service, but I wouldn't come back! read more

Hands down best taqueria in Carson! We have liked everything we have tried; tacos, tortas, quesadillas, burritos and nachos. We come here frequently. They have great customer service and the food is delicious and very fresh. They have daily specials and always have different aguas frescas. It is a little hole in the wall with a few tables. We always order to go. read more

Always fun to find a hole-in -the wall, unassuming strip center, diamond in the rough with delicious food and a warm family vibe. I had the Birria, 3 specialty taco plate, and an Al Pastor. All were delicious. Highly recommend! read more

I wasn't aware of Taqueria Las 3 Charras in Carson before--I usually drive to surrounding cities for good tacos. I'm so glad this place opened up! They offer daily specials, and the food was absolutely delicious. My wife and I tried a variety of tacos. The birria tacos and chicharrón were my personal favorites, while my wife really enjoyed the crunchy tacos and the asada. What really made the experience stand out was the service. Alma and her staff were friendly, efficient with orders, and had such a welcoming attitude--it truly made the experience feel more personal and unique. If you're a Carson resident (or nearby), I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Las 3 Charras is one of those rare places that reminds you why local restaurants matter so much. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcomed -- not in a scripted way, but with real warmth and care. And that energy starts at the top. The owner, Alma, is the heart and soul of this place. Her kindness and generosity clearly set the tone, and it shows in every interaction. The food is incredible. The tacos are made with high-quality meats that you can taste in every bite, and the aguas frescas change daily, each one better than the last -- fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. But while the food alone is reason enough to come back, the true magic is the people. One moment that really stuck with me: a couple of kids came in trying to sell apples, and instead of turning them away, Alma bought all the apples -- just so she could give them out to customers. That kind of heart is rare, and it says everything about what this restaurant stands for. The restaurant itself is small, but it's huge in personality, love, and soul. Places like this don't come around often, and when you find one, you hold onto it. I'll continue supporting Las 3 Charras for as long as this place keeps its magic -- and something tells me it always will. read more

Hi it's me again. Here to say that the chicharron torta is a must try. Incredible flavors. The salty crispy chicharron with the yummy bread and guac beautifully balanced. Just excellent. We seriously eat here like once a week. A true gem. read more

First visit I tried the fish and carne asada tacos, I thought they were OK and wondered what all the hoopla was all about. The small place was packed with people. Second visit we tried a torta and a lengua burrito, then OK, this spot is one of the better taco spots. The burrito and torta was really good. Hopefully one day you can be able to order online. read more

Bacon breakfast burritos was great! I added cheese, beans and potatoes! Green salsa was good too!!!

Really disappointed to say the least. Ordered the basic Burrito Asada and chips. How could you go wrong with that? Well, they found a way... a few ways. 1. Asada was not good quality. Pretty low quality. As someone else they skimped on the meat. The person who rolled the burrito either doesn't know how to roll one or they didn't care - rice and beans were mostly on one end and the small amount of meat was on the other end. I know that's nitpicky but it is the details that show how they care or don't even if it is 'just' a burrito. 2. The chips were the absolute worst I've ever had at any restaurant. No exaggeration. The chips were double fried and the oil tasted old. I used to work at a fast food for years so I know. They had been sitting for a while and you could see all the oil still - that's how you could tell they were double fried other than the terrible taste. Tostitos would've been better. 3. The thumbnail size containers for their sauces were ridiculously small. Complete waste of money. I may try again but I doubt it. Lowered the rating due to crappy defensive response from manager. If I'm you, I look into the situation rather than be defensive and tell me what should be. I don't care what "should" be - it wasn't. Simply your CHIPS ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST I'VE EVER EATEN... ANYWHERE. read more

Tried this place on 3 different occasions. Consistent everytime! Salsas are bomb, not too spicy but amazing flavor. Tacos are bomb! Burritos are also good, has choice of meat, rice, beans and onion and cilantro, just how a burrito supposed to be not with those extra things people put in there, like cheese and what not. Probably the best spot in Carson read more
