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

The restaurant itself is nice, but that's about all this place has going for it. All the food was bland, I had to add salt to EVERYTHING. The shredded beef had absolutely no flavor, the beans had no flavor, the rice yup you guessed it no flavor, salsa was bland, and the chips had no salt. I felt like I was in a nursing home with a no sodium diet. The service was terrible. Yes they were nice, but never came around to check how the food was or if we needed a refill of the most flavorful thing we had which was water. Now the all important plunger score. 3 plungers, bathroom was nice with a mismatched camouflage garbage can. Needless to say I would not waste my time coming back. If I want bland food, I'll just go to my grandparents for dinner. read more

Came in with a Big party on a Friday, Wasn't busy at all. The service was okay. I didn't like how they didn't check up on us or asked if we needed anything. Took our order, dropped our food and left. Always had to call them over to ask for refills and condiments. Walked in the bathroom and one of the employees was vaping inside. Very unprofessional!! The food was pretty decent, nothing really special. Don't think we would be coming back. read more

Second time here for my wife and I. We tried the El Playa Burrito (incredible) and the Fajita Burrito (incredible). Even the side of rice and beans was amazing. Great Margaritas and incredible food. The service was amazing and the ambiance is tasteful with comfortable booths and tables. Try these guys out - you won't be disappointed! read more

I went there with my girlfriend and we had lunch and the food was excellent. I mean really really good and the CustomerService was wonderful. The gentleman that took care of us. She was very attentive to our needs so they kept coming back and asked him if we needed any additional items and the bill came and it was. I was surprised the quality of booth service in the amount that they give you, the price was excellent matter of fact, three days later we went back highly recommend this place. It is my go to place from now on. 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 new favorite Mexican Restaurant in All of AZ... the food was so delicious, the service was fast, and it was very clean & well kept. All of these are a rarity in the high country. Highly recommend the Fajita Chimichanga- fantastic! 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

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

Great food. Great service. Beer could be colder. Our choice for Show Low. Consistent quality.

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

My grandson and I were in the area for a few days fishing and worked up an appetite that needed a Mexican food fix. We had some very good food, great service and left with full belly's. My grandson gave this place 5 stars and so do I. We will be visiting this place again, very soon as we have a few more fishing trips to the area. Great job on the food and excellent service! read more

First time eating here. We walked into a very fun environment. Our server was very nice and helpful with questions on the menu. Chips were good, salsa was flavorful but not spicy. We ordered some of our usual dishes and we were not disappointed. We will definitely be back when in the area! 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Very enjoyable! Service was attractive and friendly. Medical Service Dog (with proof) friendly. very clean! Even the decoration were clean with no dust bunnies. The food, highly recommend for the flavors of the food and bounty on the plates. We had Flautas, Fish and Vegetable soup, side of rice, and margaritas. 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
