El Charro Mexican Market & Carniceria: Reviews & Ratings

Good selection for a small market. Can easily fill your baseline here and get meat from the carneceria in the back. However the taqueria in the back is absolutely fantastic. I'm particularly a fan of the chicken, pork and pork carnitas in a super burrito. They use very good tortillas and a fantastic selection of salsas. It used to be my second favorite burrito place in the Sacramento area but it's currently #1 after my favorite place changed ownership and altered their style a bit.

I had their chicken burrito today and it was huge and the wettest burrito that I’ve ever had (much better than a dry one) but I thought it was too big and had too much stuff in it. It fell out of the tortilla as i was eating so I had to re-wrap using the foil. Very tasty.

Food here is always delicious. It is my office’s favorite place for taco bar potluck. We buy all of the items needed, we call a day ahead place our order, pay and pick up the next day. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The food is always on point, the salsa is delicious and the price is great for all of food you get when you order for a party. We love El Charro Mexican Market and will continue to come back as long as they are open.

My favorite spot for street tacos! It stays busy so don't be mad if it takes time for you to get food here, it's a popular lunch spot! Good meat market too!

This is our new favorite market. Excellent marinated meats, tamales, pastries, ethnic goods, yummy carnitas tacos, and more! Brought home some cookies for a Halloween treat and did not disappoint! So big I had to cut an edge off to fit them in the cookie jar! The coconut is my favorite. Not too sweet! Very tasty. Muy Bueno. Gracias!

Just don't eat the carnitas (they skip the frying) or the guacamole (watery). Other than that, they have really good stuff here.

The burritos here are great. If you need to stop for a quick bite I highly recommend! There's also some fantastic homemade chips that you can eat. Their homemade salsa is also super good!
