Everything was excellent, save the over-use of salt as a seasoning.

The order was a to go order. First the order wasn't correct, and the food was subpar in flavor and I wasn't even able to consume half of the food. It was literally not good tasting. What a waste of money. Maybe I just went on a bag night. đ€· Not going back.

My wife and I dropped into El Charro with appetites ready for comfort and flavor. I ordered the birria tacosâsomething that should arrive rich, savory, and dripping with character. She went with a beef enchilada and a chile relleno. Unfortunately, the food landed with more of a thud than a flourish.
The birria tacos had all the appearance of the real deal, but the flavor never quite showed up. Her enchilada and relleno were equally underwhelmingâtextbook Mexican fare, but with the personality dialed down to zero. The salsa was bland, more of an afterthought than an opener, and the âhot sauceâ was basically a puree of chili peppers: painfully hot, but hollow, like fire without smoke.
Then came the beans. A humble side dish turned into a head-scratcher, with what looked suspiciously like hot dog slices mixed in. Maybe itâs tradition somewhere, but for us, it was more confusing than comforting. The chips, though? Crisp and satisfying, easily the best bite outside of the drinks.
To their credit, the service was solidâpolite, attentive, no issues there. And just when the night felt like a complete miss, the margaritas came in to save the day. Balanced, refreshing, and priced right, they were the one thing that lived up to expectation. Even better, theyâll hand them to you to-go, which felt like the truest victory of the evening.
In short: El Charro is a place where the margaritas wear the crown while the food limps along in their shadow. Come for the drinks and chips, stay for the friendly service, but donât expect fireworks on the plate.

I thought I was having a good day until I came in here. My thermometer read that it was 89 degrees indoors. I think they were using some kind of reactor to cook their food. Everything was so good, the waiter was super nice and helpful, and he even spoke Spanish!!!! But I just wish I packed my window unit AC in to put on our table. I ate a half a pound (scrumptious) burrito but lost 2 pounds eating it in a sauna. I plan on coming back at least twice a week but I'll have to wear a kilt and bring my own ac

Pretty Pricey compared to rest of the area. Food was bland and was not what was stated on the menu. I said something about it to them and they didnât seem to care.

Great food. Our server Christian was great. I'm a disabled veteran and ride a mobility scooter. They made accommodations for me. Prices were also great! If we're ever back in Fort Scott, we'll definitely come back. Highly recommend.

Passing through we decided to stop and get something to eat. We live just 35 miles from Fort Scott and live Mexican food. So we walked in was seated promptly and the waiter walked up And looked at us without saying a thing, I am guessing he wanted our drink order without saying a word. Gave him a drink order and he promptly brought them. We waited a bit to order food and felt pressured to order immediately. I ordered a #6 combo and the wife ordered nachos. The burrito and enchilada were nothing but dried out, very lightly (and I mean lightly) seasoned hamburger meat wrapped into a tortilla with no signs that it was warmed or cooked. Waiter was constantly walking by and never bothered to check on us. And I wasnât sure if I should have said anything. His appearance was a little scary. Would not recommend and will not stop again.
Food and drinks were great, service was also good fir a busy night

Me and my wife order thier special dinner and could not sub the pork for beef tamales The state was cooked right. The shrimp was not peeled and served. That way, my son wanted a chicken quesdilla, but I didn't know it. I could not get without veggies, and it only came that way. I fell like all the food was plain and not seasoned. I do not feel like it was not real. Mexican food. I have had better so mad

New to town and decided to try this place and it was amazing. Very beautiful place to observe when you walk in. The wait staff was very friendly and on the ball. Had a burrito it was perfect and no plate full of rice and beans to get wasted straight to the point. Food came so fast Iâve never had such quick service. Definitely recommend to try this place I will be back.
Parking: Big open parking lot with lots of space.
Kid-friendliness: I have 5 kids and the kids menu was great for them and affordable. They had crayons and paper to occupy the children also.

The servers were great but the food was tasteless. The worst mexican restaurant I ve ever been to. Used to be so good when they were downtown but now they are awful. Give it back to The Bravo family! Trinidad vargas we miss you!!!
