★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Rosa · Feb 2026

Restaurant was clean, Food was hot. Waitress is very friendly. Food came quickly. The day we went it was a very cold day and the restaurant was very cold inside. Host was wearing a coat and the waitress was in layers of clothing. Don't know why it was cold inside but for someone who is allergic to the cold , it was a hurry up and eat let's go experience.

Got charged $15 for a pan of chicken that is like five bites! Ridiculous ppl! We were also overcharged $7. This isn’t worth the money spent! I requested manger to be told she was the manager and was refused the owners information.

The restaurant was clean and full of diners for our supper. Menu features plenty of options and is nicely laid out - it even has pictures of certain dishes. Atmosphere is good and service was prompt. My burrito tasted great and this restaurant offers complimentary chips and salsa. Parking is on the street - I'd recommend parking on the west side of the building for an easier exit, as traffic on the highway through town can make things difficult.

My favorite Mexican restaurant! Their food was all I craved when I was pregnant with my last baby and for some strange reason every Friday! Long time since a post! El Charro take-out is the go to Friday still! I appreciate everyone there for getting every order correct and saving me a Karen phone call! 😆

Worst taste of nothing. If beans and rice are not good then good luck! Old pico was used to make ceviche tomato’s were sour and bad avocado. Chips were stale, almost couldn’t crunch them. Rice was undercooked didn’t know you could mess up refried beans. When we asked for different chips they just put hot ones on top. The same pile of stuck together chips were in the basket. We paid 40 bucks but will never be back
