Everything is bought in food wise. It has the ambience of a 7-Eleven and there is no service. This place sucks and should go out of business.

Delicious and ideal for a quick breakfast! I opted for the fish taco, while my boyfriend chose the El Mananero burrito. Both were really tasty, and the cashier who took our order was exceptionally nice. Additionally, the tables were clean and well-maintained.

Went swimming with leopard sharks and then had a burrito from these guys. It was both filling and tasty. 10/10

I am a sometimes resident at the Shores and had forgotten how great El Charro is - I don't understand the low star rating. We ordered two chicken tacos and one chicken burrito - that would have been more than enough for four people at least! Fresh ingredients and good flavors. And best of all, it was not overly salty. This place really is quite awesome and I encourage you to try it when you are at the Shores. The woman at the counter was also very friendly and nice. What more could we want.

I love this Mexican restaurant, I always go there to get a California burrito. It’s definitely more affordable compare to the other restaurants near by. The have a good selection of Mexican food. I highly recommend trying it out!

I was visiting and gave this place a try and was truly disappointed , especially with the service & prices ! Upon arriving cashier was busy on her phone and didn't really have a great attitude, did not make the visit very pleasant . Way too over priced to be acting this way.Carne asada burrito was ok .. The taco stand in San Diego is worth the visit ! Go get an authentic burrito there if your looking for good Mexican food.
