Solid Mexican food spot. We enjoyed the authentic food, ambience and service were spot on as well. We split the fajitas for 2 and the portions were extremely robust. I also tried a cheese enchilada à la carte and it was delicious. I highly recommend this place! read more

We are in Show Low for a few days to escape the heat down in the greater Phoenix/Scottsdale region. My wife and I craved Mexican cuisine so based on Yelp ratings, I picked El Charro Beer. Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed by the hostess and sat in one of their booths. Our server immediately came to our table and took our order. I ordered a chicken enchilada and chicken taco combo and my wife ordered the steak fajitas. Service friendly, attentive, and excellent. Our food was perfectly prepared and delicious. Access seemed to be good and the atmosphere was festive and colorful. read more

My husband and I have a property in the Show Low area and on occasion will go in to town to try a new restaurant. We have gone to El Charro Beer three times now. The restaurant is beautiful inside! The staff are wonderful. They are friendly and very attentive. The problem for me here is the food. The presentation is always nice. The food is served fresh and hot, but it lacks flavor. It is so bland. Many will say that true Mexican food is a bit bland. It's not traditionally spicey. This I know. If you like really bland food, you will love it. For me....I prefer a bit more zip. read more

Awesome as usual! Manuel our server was fantastic! Food equally was great! Also had all their booths and chairs reupholstered! We live in the valley and this is one of two Mexican restaurants we go to! Keep it up! read more

Just check out my photos of part of our dinner. We eat here often but tonight was extra awesome. Pasta Mixta - Alfredo with a hint of peppers, perfect shrimp and moist grilled chicken, pasta Al dente. Garlic bread was just enough. No salt needed, one of the best Alfredo sauces I've enjoyed in YEARS other than making my own at home. Beef flautas excellent and bigger/heavier than expected off the ala carte menu section. Green enchilada with just cheese was DEVINE and unexpected (no photo). We grew up on the border and this style of MX food is our favorite. Not sure we've enjoyed a cheese crisp with green chilis as much as tonight on this chilly Sunday. We took a lot home. Too many warm chips and salsa - lol. Now. Bar service is our favorite. They are all hard workers and polite. We always love to visit the back bar to unwind. No alcohol needed, but they have plenty. Mango shots are pretty yummy! read more

El Charro deserves way more than 4.3 stars! The service is fast, friendly, and genuinely welcoming -- everyone treats you like family. The back bar is a hidden gem with a fun vibe and a great selection, and the margaritas? Massive. Like, bring-a-friend-to-help-finish-it massive. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. This is the kind of place that keeps you coming back. read more

Pretty typical Mexican restaurant ambiance and decor. The restaurant is clean. The service is friendly and adequate. The margarita choices seemed odd (my opinion) I am more just classic me. I settled on the Cadillac 4/5. We ordered guacamole dip 3/5 (bland), chicken fajitas 4/5, and birria tacos 4/5. read more

This was the best restaurant in Show Low! The food was delicious and the service was great!! Loved the vibe too.

We eat here often just love it here the service is absolutely amazing the food is so delicious the atmosphere of here is very nice as well

Delicious Mexican food and margaritas! We visited El Charro Beer on a Thursday night at the beginning of a snow storm, and it was about a quarter full. The restaurant has a fun decor with plenty of fake greenery and colorful wall accents. Hispanic music played on the speakers during our visit. Before we ordered, we were brought chips and salsa. Neither the chips or salsa stood out. I tried the blue agave margarita and the enchiladas mayito. The margarita was served in a large glass and had a lovely flavor. Each enchilada was paired with a delectable sauce, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at El Charro Beer and would highly recommend them for Mexican food in Show Low. read more

Can't go wrong here. Service was quick even though they were busy. The decor is Mexican style gives the feel your down south. The food is always good. The pizza was so good and enough to split. The appetizer was delicious with that sauce. The drinks were the bomb. Can't wait for the Pinetop location to open up soon too read more

Immediate seating at the server stand. The tables, menus and eating utensils were clean. The food took some time to come out but it wasn't too bad considering the staffing shortage. The food was hot and delicious with leftovers for a snack. Reasonable prices, friendly staff and favorable meals. read more

Made the mistake of going here for early dinner . Ordered Steak Ranchero , was very thin and had on odd taste like freezer burn . The marinade couldn't cover up the bad taste . Wife ordered carne tacos which were overcooked and very . Overall a bad experience ! read more

Absolutely love this place I like their spicy salsa and they are always so friendly I love how many options they have on their menu

Loved the atmosphere and decor. Staff was excellent. Great service. Started with delicious salsa and chips. Ordered beef chimichanga, very tender meat, crispy tortilla wrapping. Great experience. However the music was too loud. read more

Food is mediocre at best. Had a chimichanga and had to search for the meat. Service is decent but took quite a while to get our food.

Food was so-so and the service poor at the lunch hour. Highly likely we will not return

This place is awful!!! Have been there two times now with a party of eight. First time only 5 people ever got food. Other three never did yet they attempted to charge for them. They apologized and said their system was not working. Gave them a second chance with another party of eight. This time we never received our appetizers and were only one meal short for the evening. When we asked for the manager we got the waitress and she said she forgot to put them in to their system. Once again we NEVER GOT THEM. This place is awful. Go across the street to Los Corollas whether food and service is always good. Don't be fooled by all the fake employee reviews!!! read more

There very welcoming , very nice . From Denver Colorado , and food amazing the test ! I got a Texas burger and my family tried other things from the menu . Food came out neat good portions . We asked the surver some questions and she replied very nice recommend it here ! read more

I ordered a taco salad with ground beef. There was a few shreds of lettuce and a bunch of everything else. The shell was crispy. That was the only good part. The window has beer for three dollars advertised, it was the Jalisco they tried to charge us five dollars per beer we had to correct them. Won't be back. read more

All above par specially for such a small town where there is little selection. Service was fantastic! Friendly and attentive. From the street it looks like there is no parking but it all along the sides and back. Highly recommended you try this gem for yourself. I know I will be back, read more

Customer service was good. Waitress attended good and was on top of the meal and drinks. Salsa and chips was great.

Wow, wow, wow. Started with a wonderful margarita that was delicious then seafood crevice which was one of the best ever with a great presentation followed by birria quesadillas which were good but a bit mushy. Would have liked the tortillas cooked a bit more. Service was exceptional and clean place. Fair prices as well. Top pick in the white mountains for Mexican! read more

El Charro Beer - Dinner for 2 - Mexican Near Me - Show Low, Arizona

We are local and visit here often. The servers are awesome and always keep our drinks full and check back with us often to make sure everything is OK. The food is different than what else is available currently in Showlow and in Pinetop. It's a good mix of seafood fajitas, tacos enchiladas anything else you could possibly imagine on your Mexican menu. We think their drink menu is pretty extensive and you surely will find something you've not had before. We keep coming back between here and one other competitor down the street. We both think they are equally talented when it comes to food and the service at both locations are excellent. Not going to name the competitor, but if you're local and you eat along the strip, you know who I'm referring to. I think this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

Food was terrible. Waitress was rude and barely came by our table. When we mentioned the food wasn't great she completely disregarded it. We were told to bring the receipt to the front to pay, so we awkwardly had to stand in the narrowest walkway as people were entering and leaving the restaurant--just a weird thing to have the customer do. read more

Have been an El Charro Beer fan for years in Show Low. Checked out the new Pinetop location today - WOW!! Same excellent food with same excellent service in a great looking restaurant! Love the bar area - very fun! read more

We saw great reviews and decided to try something new. The food was good. Service could have been better. It was disappointing that our server brought my husband something he didn't order and left our bill without asking if we wanted dessert, which we did. And the staff at the front to check us out were preoccupied, they are young and don't realize the importance of customer service. read more

This place was super good service was great and the Michelada was next level, will be stopping by for sure next time i'm in town m, great after some bowls and the slopes read more

Stopped in for some quick lunch. Staff was very friendly we had La Pararilla it was more then enough food for me and my 3 friends. I had a pineapple agua fresca and the server was nice enough to add tajin rim to it. The chips and salsa were complimentary and the handmade tortillas were delicious. I would definitely stop in it has a homey vibe and affordable. read more
