I grew up eating at El Charro in Woodbridge, VA, almost every week—sometimes multiple times a week—especially during my college years. Living in Palm Beach, Florida now, it's tough to find a great Mexican restaurant that hits the spot the way El Charro does. So, on a recent business trip, I made sure to stop by El Charro in Harrisonburg, VA, for an early dinner, and I was not disappointed.

One of my all-time favorites is the Tacos De Carne Asada—absolutely delicious! It had been a few years since my last visit, and I have to say, I was thrilled to enjoy some of my favorite dishes again. The flavors were vibrant, and the salsa, while slightly different from what I remember, was still incredibly tasty.

The food was ordered and served quickly, which was great, though I did have to wait a bit longer than expected for a drink & Salsa refill and a to-go box. Despite that small hiccup, El Charro has consistently delivered fantastic meals no matter which location I visit. I wish you would open a location in Florida!

I didn’t make it to my Woodbridge spot this time, but if Pepe and Daniel are still working at any of the locations, cheers to you both—I hope to see you in the future!

Great Food, Margarita Needs Improvement.

I recently dined at this Mexican restaurant and had a generally positive experience. The camarones and beef nachos appetizer was fantastic, and the enchiladas and burrito were delicious and well-prepared. However,

I would have given a 5-star review if the margaritas had been better. Unfortunately, they tasted too much like the mixer, lacking the fresh, vibrant flavor I was hoping for.Despite that, the overall food quality and service were excellent.
I’d definitely return for the great dishes and hope the margaritas improve in the future!

We love El Charro's. We have had most everything on the menu now and love it all. My daughter comes just to drink the salsa. My favorite dish is the shrimp tacos. I had the pork carnitas this time and it was very flavorful. The staff is very attentive and pleasant and the service is always quick.
