" My experience at El Charro was a rollercoaster. We arrived hungry and excited, but right from the start, the wait for our food felt like an eternity. When it finally came, while flavorful, the portions were smaller than expected, especially for the price. The ambiance was nice, but that can't fully make up for poor service. However, I have heard from friends that their breakfast is great, so I'm willing to give it another try someday. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Charro's been a staple for us for years, but I've noticed some changes. The food quality has dipped a bit, and some dishes have become a little bland. The staff are still great, but the service can be a hit or miss. The cleanliness in the restrooms could certainly use improvement. I'd love to see them go back to the way things used to be because it used to be our go-to spot for authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Charro recently after a long absence and I am both pleased and disappointed. The food was as authentic as I remembered: rich flavors and lovely spices, reminding me of home-cooked meals. However, I found it to be quite busy, and the staff seemed overwhelmed. My order was wrong the first time around, and while they fixed it promptly, it took quite some time. The ambiance was inviting, but it felt cramped at times. There's definitely potential here, but they need to work on the service consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were disappointed with our meal at El Charro. Although the reviews looked promising, we found the food bland and lacking in proper seasoning. The service wasn't attentive either. Overall, it didn't meet our expectations, and we probably won't return. " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem! I stumbled upon El Charro while driving through, and I was really impressed. The tacos al pastor were some of the best I've ever had; full of flavor and incredibly fresh. The drinks were refreshing too. The ambiance is casual and laid-back, perfect for a quick meal or a long hangout. I'll definitely come back whenever I'm in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about El Charro! The warm atmosphere and friendly staff made for a great visit. The breakfast tacos were out of this world—filled with generous portions of delicious eggs and perfectly cooked bacon. I also appreciated that the food came out quickly despite the restaurant being busy. A great choice for anyone craving authentic Mexican breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food was bland and unappetizing, with my burrito lacking any real taste. The environment felt off too, and I noticed a few minor cleanliness issues. I definitely won't be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)
