1st visit: Excellent (the best) Mexican food in Yuma.The bartender struggles to keep up.So, as Yuma slowly transitions from 2nd home to 1st home we continue to search for the best Mexican food to have as our favorite.2nd visit: Had another amazing dinner and wonderful server. Bar service was horrible... I think the bartender recognized me from last time and just doesn't want to serve us... we certainly won't go back for drinks as it was a let down. They will not allow standing at the bar and wanted us to rotate thru 4 people sitting one at a time getting a drink while waiting ... no thanks. Ordered a couple Cadillac margaritas took quite a while. When we tried to get 2nd drinks it took forever and was wrong so I finally got a second drink as everyone else was ready to go. Not sure what their issues are with us but we certainly didn't feel welcome there.... next restaurant, please....3RD VISIT ... YES A 3RD VISIT.So here's the deal.... I am a Mexican Food Fanatic and I want this place to be my favorite Mexican restaurant so bad. I'm your regular SO California white guy that thinks he knows what good Mexican food is based on eating at supposed "traditional food " spots from the southern border of CA to Santa Barbara and I'm talking the tiny taco shops and food trucks of Oxnard, Compton and Santa Barbara and including favorite places in Oaxaca. Although my favorite tacos are Birria, Fish and Lengua and typically "street taco type" I crave a great burrito and folded crunchy taco. I also love the Americanized add ons like chips and amazing salsa.So, it's for the later reasons I love El Charro. The crunchy tacos, chips salsa and Amazeballs burritos and chimi's. If you're really hungry get the asada burrito and have it served "Wet".. the first time I ordered one they photographed it .. it was sooo good.We took 5 people last Tuesday for lunch and it was top notch in every way.. I really need to be fair with the bartender guy. This has been my biggest complaint here. About it being slow and unable to keep up. I asked our server his name and found out they call him Hef .. I so wanted to thank him personally for how he treated us but he had gone. We sat down and ordered margaritas and he had them in front of us in a flash. 2nd round same thing.. and with the biggest happiest welcoming smile. I highly doubt he had a clue I'd been there before or that I have written reviews before and he was just great to us and our guests. I realize it's not always just about Me ( it mostly is) and things aren't always perfect. Current thoughts on El Charro ? My favorite Mexican food in AZ. Super friendly staff and well, Hef ... I'm warming up to you! Thank you!
Whe you are down in this area you've got to go and enjoy the excellent cuisine. Waiter was very attentive . Best service I've ever had !!

Great food, served hot. Ample portions. Friendly service. We weren't familiar with Az Mexican food and weren't aware that a lot of items are fried. In spite of that, the rolled tacos were delicious. Great rice. Great chips.
As a first time Canadian, a friend who's local to Yuma brought me here and wow! The flavors were amazing. Makes Mexican food back in Canada taste so bland.Great atmosphere, great service. Waitress constantly stopping by asking if we needed anything or a top up on the nachos and salsa.

The food was not what I was expecting. My daughter ordered the veggie chimi , my husband ordered a fajita plate and I ordered a meatball soup. It just looked over cooked and tasted bland. Small portions for the price. We wanted sopapillas but they were out so we ordered the churros very basic serviced with watery whip cream. The restaurant is small for as many people it serves.
