"I have been enjoying breakfast tacos from this take-out window for over 20 years, and they never disappoint! The tacos are generously filled and one can easily make a satisfying meal. It's hard to resist having just one, and it's equally difficult to choose just one type of taco! My top favorite is the migas taco, with the machacado taco coming in a close second. The chicken fajita taco is also wonderfully seasoned and perfect for lunch. The ordering process may be a bit confusing for first-timers, but the staff efficiently takes orders and manages the crowd. Make sure to ask if you're in line and don't forget to grab extra salsa, as it's delicious. A suggestion for the owner would be to offer corn tortillas for breakfast in addition to flour. Overall, this place has been a staple for a long time and still serves some of the best Tex-Mex tacos in town!"

The enchiladas were delicious, and the prices were reasonable as well. The staff was friendly.

Service was on point. The food was hot and prepared quickly. Arrived before close and they were happy to serve. It’s got a cafe feel with a wide range of Mexican food choices! Check it out, especially when El Monumento is packed!

This was my first experience at a place that didn't quite live up to the hype. It came highly recommended by a guy who produces PBS shows about Texas. I know it's a local favorite, but maybe I should have spent more than just $3.19. It is what it is. View menu

This restaurant may be small and overlooked, but do not underestimate it! The food is fantastic, whether you're grabbing breakfast from the side window or dining inside. It has been consistently great all these years - I've been coming here since 1996, during my high school days.

The food was good, the cleanliness of the establishment was not. I may try again in a few months, but based on other reviews and long time locals I think this place is a hard pass. Definitely needs a deep clean and a coat of paint. Parking: Small, but free parking lot behind the restaurant.

A little hole in the wall family owned gem! The reason why this place is my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Georgetown (and I've tried them all) is because their salsa is freshly homemade and they add those little extras to the dishes that others charge extra for like pico de gallo and avocado. Their portion sizes are generous. The service is always friendly and personable. View menu

The owner was on vacation and left only one waitress to service the entire restaurant which was extremely busy. While the young lady did all that she could (seating guests, taking orders, delivering food, bussing tables and running the cash register) it took us more than 45 minutes to get our food. Totally unprofessional for this young lady as the only one to service an entire restaurant.

After just moving to Georgetown I needed to find a new Mexican restaurant close to home. I did a quick Google search and found El Charrito. All the great reviews swayed my decision to check it out. Boy am I glad! We dined in for a Friday lunch special of beef fajita tacos, charro beans, rice and guacamole. The meat was plentiful, consisting of large juicy tender strips of savory seasoned steak and onions tucked inside fresh, warm tortillas (flour for me, corn for my wife). The beans had almost as much bacon as beans. They were also chunky and full of delicious flavor. All in all I think I've found my newest favorite place to indulge in TexMex food. Lots of great food served by super friendly...

"My daughter and I had went to Georgetown last weekend to check out a few places to host her baby shower in April and we walked into Laurie’s cafe to check it out and we spoke to the owner Beth she seemed very welcoming and even offered to move some tea sets off a table but we liked them so we told her she didn’t have too. We discussed a few things and we were very excited to come back and try the food because we had already had lunch that day at another restaurant we were checking out so we told her we would come back and check out the food so that we could make our final choice on where we were going to host it so today Saturday February 24th we went to lunch there my daughter her fiancé and my mother and I to check it out we drove 45 minutes or so and we had high hopes and really had our heart set on holding it at this location. When we arrived the sign clearly states seat yourself anywhere you like so we did we picked a round table with a Pilar next to it so it would sit 5 people maybe and we had 4 I had stepped away to use the ladies room and when I came back I had noticed that the owner was at our table and I thought she had remembered us and maybe came over to talk about the baby shower but no she was asking us to move to a smaller table My daughter is 39 weeks pregnant tomorrow we wanted the bigger table for more room for her and for us to not feel so cramped The restaurant maybe had 2 tables with customers and was not busy We did move however I have a big issue with this treatment!! Why have a sign that says sit anywhere if you are going to have a problem with where we sit Also they had other options if a 5 or 6 people table came in so I don’t see what the big deal was or why she felt the need to approach the table in that way it’s a good thing I was in the restroom when she first came over or else we probably would’ve walked out!! We didn’t deserve to be treated that way and she even came out and talked to other tables but never to us mind you no other big parties came in while we were dining!!! A one person sat at a 4 top table but they were not asked to move to a two top table!! She never thanked us for moving tables or came by our table to see how everything was. She seemed more aggravated that we were even eating at her restaurant. I don’t understand why we were treated that way either as we didn’t deserve it we were only doing what the sign said and picked a table to sit at!! The more I think about it the more annoyed I get and I wish I would’ve said more and stood up for all of us and most importantly my daughter who is very pregnant and needed the space of a bigger table. The restaurant had plenty of options for other large parties!! I feel disrespected and mistreated and the way she presented herself today was WRONG on so many levels! Do not support this restaurant and the rude owner!!! The food was ok I did like a lot of what I ordered however the coconut cream pie I ordered for my mom and I to share didn’t seem cooked completely and it lacked flavor. My bill was over $85 for 4 plates and two desserts and two drinks and I feel for what we got it was WAY overpriced!! After the way we were treated we will NOT be hosting it at Laurie’s Cafe!! We decided to go with Sweet Lemon Kitchen and will be paying them close to $900 so next time BETH treat your customers better because you never know that could have been a good thing for your restaurant to host us and your waitstaff!!!! Don’t go to this place if your out in the Georgetown area Check out the many other places and the sweet lemon kitchen!!!!!"
