Friendly staff, delicious food. Had dinner here one night and loved it so much we came back the next day for lunch. The outdoor seating area is a gorgeous little gem tucked away, creating a peaceful escape.

The visit for me was a good experience. The food was delicious. I tasted a chicken soup (a shame they did not have the meat soup). Also, I tried head, menudo, lengua and emperador tacos. All of them very good. The place offers "combo meals" as well as a big variety of other Mexican specialities: Burritos, tortas, enchiladas, and even sea food. They accept credit cards and have decent amount of parking spots. Prices are good, cheap I would say. The speak English and Spanish and the service is good.

Taco Charro is a well-managed establishment offering an extensive menu of delectable and generously portioned Mexican cuisine. Their signature "Chicharron taco" stands out as one of the finest crispy, expertly prepared tacos I have encountered. The Green Chile Burrito is filled with substantial pieces of pork and a flavorful tomatillo sauce, all encased in a sizeable tortilla. Additionally, their trio of taquitos served with chunky guacamole is a delightful treat. The service provided is consistently friendly and accommodating. I intend to return to sample additional dishes from their menu.

I LIVE IN INGLEWOOD ON CRENSHAW AND 104th ON THE 1-way between 104th & 108th. And I pass ALOT of Mexican Restaurants on my way to "EL TACO CHARRO". AND IT'S SO WORTH THE DRIVE . I'VE BEEN TRYING DIFFERENT ENTREES EVERY SINGLE TIME I GO. AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT EVERYTHING IS GOOD . THEY ARE IN THE CUT OF THE SHOPPING CENTER ACROSS FROM THE BEAUTY SUPPLY. TACO TUESDAY'S 1.75-3.00 depending on what you add to your Tacos . My Favorite is the "CARNE ASADA BURRITO " & I ALWAYS ORDER 2

The closest to authentic you’ll find around Carson. Tons of parking, little shop tucked on the backside behind the mall. The owner was nice, the restaurant was super clean. We had tacos de barbacoa, camarones a la diabla and a quesadilla de al pastor. Everything was good and fresh, definitely coming back!

I have been searching for a torta ahogada since I've moved to SoCal. This torta ahogada was perfect. The carnitas were tender and tasted great alone; paired with the beans, bread, the sauce, and pickled onions, I will be back! ...

Chicken and Carne Asada burritos are delicious. Good customer service. Nothing super fancy. Authentic.
