" What a fantastic place! El Charolais has officially become my new favorite Mexican restaurant. I visited last week and couldn't get enough of their shrimp tacos. They were packed with flavor and had the perfect amount of spice. Plus, the margaritas were hands down the best I've had in the area — refreshing and not overly sweet! The service was attentive without being overbearing. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to try El Charolais recently, and it exceeded my expectations! The food was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were vibrant. I had the chance to try a variety of dishes, from tacos to burritos, and each one stood out. The presentation was lovely too. The wait staff were attentive and kind, making the evening even more enjoyable. I will definitely recommend this place to others looking for genuine Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibe at El Charolais was definitely a treat and a perfect spot to indulge in a night out. We ordered several appetizers, including guacamole and queso; both were fresh and tasty. The reviews promised large portions, and they were not lying! However, the service could have been a bit faster, as there was a noticeable lag between courses. Still, I’ll come back because the food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a wonderful family evening at El Charolais! We always enjoy the ambiance; it’s lively and warm. Their Pollo Tapatio is a family favorite and we order it every time. The service is always friendly; it truly feels like they care about their customers. Portions are perfect for sharing, or you can take some home like we usually do. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading glowing reviews, I had to try El Charolais during my trip to Johnson City. I enjoyed the Tacos de Pescado — they were fresh and flavorful, accompanied by a refreshing salsa. Staff members were friendly, but I did encounter a slight delay in receiving my meal. Overall, a great experience and I would certainly recommend it to others seeking authentic flavors.

" I had high expectations for El Charolais after hearing so many good things, but my experience was rather average. While the portions were indeed substantial, I found the flavors to be lacking. The chips tasted a bit stale, and my burrito was slathered in a sauce that overwhelmed the meat flavor. The service was decent, though a bit slow during peak hours. I think there's potential here, but they need to fine-tune the dishes to stand out. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're on the hunt for authentic Mexican cuisine, look no further than El Charolais. Their Tacos al Pastor are a must-try; I could taste the freshness in every bite! The ambiance is lively, and the servers are always friendly. Sometimes, it can be a bit crowded during dinner hours, but the bustling atmosphere adds to the charm. Would absolutely recommend!
