“No problem with finding a parking space at 330 pm on Saturday afternoon. There is no indoor dining room, only outside table and chairs. This is a walk up window type of fast food joint. Not sure if it was an old Der Weinerschnitzel as it has the classic steep A-framed roof. I browsed the menu board for a minute, stepped to the window, and ordered a bean-cheese burrito, a pastor burrito, and a double bacon cheeseburger togo. It seemed that I wasn't sitting too long, about 10 minutes, when she called me to pick up my order. Carolina offered me the radishes, pickled jalapeno, carrots, and she put two of red and green salsas in the bag. I was out of there in under 15 minutes. YMMV. The two burritos will be leftovers as I chose to eat the burger first. I wish the bacon was crispier but they were not. It's a good burger, would have been much better with crispy bacon. I will update this review when I eat the burritos.“

“Best spot in Glendale for tacos. Converted me from carnitas to al pastor. Outdoor seating only. Gets busy, gets hot. But it's a taco place and they knock 'em out.3 tacos and a horchata for just over $10 (2024) aint too bad.Parking: A few spots out front mostly used for pickup - otherwise just park in the neighborhood and walk over.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps on the property, but tight quarters.“

“The perfect asada tacos, I kid you not. The meat is diced nice and small and is the perfect firmness while being juicy. The sala is the right blend of spicy, but doesn't burn going down, just leaves your mouth and lips warm. The chips are thin and salty and just a dream, especially when paired with the salsa. I travel a lot for work, so I have a lot of really mediocre tacos, and these are definitely not mediocre, they're fantastic.“

“This is such an enjoyable place to eat for a few reasons. I've only had the huevos rancheros and Chile Verde but both dishes were outstanding! The lady who takes the orders is a delight,also. Altogether a very pleasant experience. Hmm, I think I talked myself into getting some of their huevos now. It's a little hole in the wall as they say so you kind of have to look for it.“

“Lived in this area *Ocean View Blvd, Glendale, LaCrescenta, Eagle Rock, Flintridge, in the late 1960's and my school friends and I used to go to El Charro's on weekends to eat (thought we were really grown up!). They absolutely had the BEST cheese enchiladas I've ever in my life tasted and haven't found any as good since. Wish I could get them to dry-ice and send some of these to my current address in the Northern Great Plains (my home area) but I guess they don't do shipping. Dang, I really miss their food and I also like the red bean and rice burritos, and some other dishes. Always had GREAT salads there, as well. The ONLY mexican place we have here where I live is Chili's - yuk!“

“I like the burgers. Tried the breakfast burrito today. Solid burrito. I like hot salsa. But their salsa is more like paste. It's not really my preference. I like chunky salsa like restaurants give you with chips. Next time I'll just get it with pico de gallo. It was still pretty good. I couldn't finish it in one sitting. Solid all around place. Can't go wrong with anything“

“I can very easily see why this place is so popular they’ve got a number of items priced under $10 the ingredients are fresh the wait is not very long at all and the sauce is that they give you a delicious actually because I live in Huntington Beach which is a good hour away from this place I cut my burrito and half so I could enjoy it tomorrow giving me two days of enjoyment. I ordered the steak burrito or the Kearny Asada burrito is it Stone and my only regret is that I didn’t order two of them. They have convenient payment options it’s a wonderful little area to visit and I highly recommend you stop and it’s very easy to see why this place is so popular.“
