El Charro not only has incredible food but an amazing staff (we were fortunate enough to have Martha, definitely ask for her if you go) that made this not only a high tier meal with fuller depth in every bite (we were so surprised), but an experience all together embodying one of the best restaurant's we have ever gone to. I definitely recommend the QuesaBirria chimichanga and the Martha experience!!

We have been wanting to try this historic restaurant for quite some time. We were fortunate enough to have done so and definitely will be returning again. The service was great and our server Caleb was absolutely amazing. He not only answered a question my wife had about the meat selection, he was kind enough to bring us a sample to try out. The food came out and after the first bite of the chicken enchilada, we were hooked. The second enchilada was supposed to be Carne seca, but ended up being another chicken enchilada, which we were ok with since it was so delicious. Caleb came back to check on us and we mentioned that both Enchiladas are chicken, which was an honest mistake in the kitchen. Caleb handled it like a pro even though we said it was ok and he didn't have to. He told us he charged us for the chicken and carne seca and wanted to make sure we got what we ordered and paid for. One of the kitchen staff came to our table and apologized for the mix up while he delivered the 2 Enchiladas that were missed from the order along with more beans and rice, which was totally unexpected. This was above and beyond our expectations, especially after we already said it was ok that both of our Enchiladas were chicken. Hopefully the next time we have the opportunity to go again Caleb will be our server again (I'll be sure to request him). Top notch place and service. This is why this restaurant is the oldest Mexican restaurant in the state and is still doing business. Food was amazing, service was extraordinary and the atmosphere was very pleasant. This place is 10 star worthy and we'll drive 2 hours again for another experience. Thank you Caleb and all staff at El Charro. We will be back asap!

On Sat Sept 27th me and my family went to El Charro to eat because myself and my wife had previously eaten here and liked the food. Main problem is I felt passed over in seating arrangements compared to my Caucasian counter parts. Which is sort of odd considering this is a Mexican restaurant. What happened is I was sat in an area that has cement seating. While others had been seated in table and chair arrangements. I feel like this was more because maybe staff thought I would not tip the same. But any way if you look like you have money and are a certain color type you will be treated well. But if you have any brown in your skin don’t go there. Nothing to do with any ones skin color I love every one. This was just my observation on a place I visited.

Great service from a very well dressed gentleman. Great Mexican food.
It's an original and has endured decades in the business! There's a reason for it! Food, service, and atmosphere! Anything carne seca on the menu is phenomenal!

Delicious, classic Sonoran food in an old school house converted to a restaurant and it's the oldest Mexican restaurant in town and spawned a bunch of spin offs around town that are equally as wonderful. The dried beef is very tasty and they have great salsa. Pretty huge menu and they have some great drink selections.

Overpriced. Overcooked the fajitas. Not worth it in my opinion.
