Terrific menu, food, service, prices! My wife and I haven't eaten at Charro since their opening week. Tonight's dinner exceeded all expectations! Time has been their friend; everything was executed to perfection! We WILL be returning sooner rather than later. Pictured: Carnitas (which I will be ordering again.)

Beautiful stylish restaurant and clean with choices of booths, high and low tables. You can sit in the dining room or the bar dining area. Service and food are very good and they have a great selection of drafts, bottled beers, and some authentic Mexican sodas including Mexican Coca-Cola!

Great little local place for good Mexican with fast service. Some of our favorite menu items are are chili Colorado burrito and the carne Asada burrito. Guacamole is good too and chips are hot and crispy. Nice atmosphere.

It's a really nice place. The food was excellent and the service was top notch. We had the salmon, chicken taco salad and the nachos. We really enjoyed it and will go back.

We came on a Saturday evening and was seated right away. They had very good service. Got a medium mango margarita which was so big I couldn’t finish. It was very tasty. Carne asada tacos were hot and tasty. Refried beans were flavorful. I was a little skeptical to visit because of the low reviews but had a great time and would come here again

The best full-service Mexican restaurant I have eaten in a long time! Quick service, quick food delivery, extremely flavorful food, and great atmosphere and service. This is an all-around great experience. I had a dish with three different sauces and each had a unique flavor and made me want more. The chips were warm, the salsa was perfect and each was replenished without hesitation by the attentive staff. The house margarita was perfect, not too sweet, not too sour. We will be back and soon!
