The food is great, prices reasonable and nice atmosphere - of course it's busy! I don't care for the soft shell tacos, but I'm the only one I know who doesn't. (more)

I've been eating here since the late 70's and it was great. The last couple years have been a disapointment. I used to go every Sunday, now I go maybe once every 6 months! The beef is usually so salty we can barely eat it,... (more)

<b>In Short</b><br>For a large restaurant, El Charro remains cozy while maintaining a festive air. The walls are adorned with murals of the Mexican countryside, and the wait staff is friendly and quick, leaving... (more)
