I recently dined at here while my car was getting worked on during my trip back home from LA and had a mixed experience. While the customer service was excellent, the food left much to be desired, and the lack of air conditioning in 97-degree weather was uncomfortable.

We have been coming to El Charo for 40+ years. Always friendly and fast service. It’s not real fancy but good food for excellent prices. Enjoy going for lunch or pick up to go. I love the salsa. And I like their Chili Verde. We were so glad they were able to reopen after Covid. Long time, family owned restaurant. ❤

Very good low key Mexican restaurant. My dad told us about this place, he came here back in the 80s when he was a truck driver. Their barbacoa is excellent and their flour tortillas taste freshly made(I didn’t ask if they were freshly made). Great and fast service!

Food was very bland. Salsa wasn’t good, almost sweet. This is the first time I have ate there in years. I really enjoyed their food before. Today very disappointed. Sorry to say, I won’t be back. Adiós El Charro

Family-owned little place with many affordable options that are flavorful, authentic, and even the basic hamburger has better taste than higher priced fast food options.

The tortas used to be really yummy and piled high with meat now they’re quite skimpy and rather disappointing. However the place quite redeemed themselves with the combination platters. The to go platters were really scrumptious and quite filling. I’ve enjoyed eating at this restaurant for many years. However with the pandemic, service kind of became second.
