    Deep fried ice cream

    The restaurant was impeccably clean. The hostess, who also served our table, was gracious and attentive. Chips and salsa were adequate, though unremarkable. Entrées were presented in a traditional Mexican style and executed reasonably well given the northern Minnesota location. However, the food lacked authenticity--flavors were muted, and the "spicy" salsa fell short. The dessert lacked clarity and key ingredients, contributing to an overall sense of inauthenticity. The "deep fried ice cream" was simply a scoop of vanilla served in the same tortilla bowl that the taco salad was served in.

    So you may recognize this building as the Country Kitchen, but it is not this no more. It is now El Charro. At 4pm the hostess was able to seat myself, my wife, and 2 of our children immediately at a booth. As you sit and look around it doesn't really remind you of a Mexican restaurant. If it is, it's the most modernized one I have ever seen. With hard wooden tables and black leather upholstery, it comes out to be very elegant and classy. Wouldn't you know it, I came in during happy hour which was a $1 off all of their domestic beers! With the steak fajitas I had myself some corona. As the saying goes, "when in Rome..." haha Anyway, the food came out piping hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. My hostess also became my server, and she was constantly on the move. Absolutely professional, made great suggestions, was so kind towards our family and patient as we all took a moment to look at the menu. I was very happy with our service and will absolutely come back to eat here. On the menu board in front of the host stand there is a special that goes on everyday.

We had Hannah as a server. She came over after about 10 minutes with no one telling us they'll be with us soon. The host sat us but no server told us be right there. When she finally did she said "ok did you want anything ?" With no smile no hello I'm Hannah. Just a plain angry unfriendly face. We all are in the hospitality industry so we smiled and gave her a chance and were polite. She took forever to come back to get our orders and again said a very curt "what do you want" instead of May I take your order or did you have any questions or were you ready to order. She started walking away before we got to say we wanted an app and were ready for entrees I had to stop her while she turned around and said oh sorry we're ready to order too. My parents shared a burger and she said want it cut in half ? But didn't get them a plate or give us plates for the app. Didn't offer refills or check on us. Food was not good. It used to be better. I know I've had better experiences here and it's sad to see it go downhill

    We dropped in on a Saturday night, dead in the middle of prime time (without a reservation, my…read morebad.) Our wait was brief and we were seated within 10 minutes. Sarah H. went out of her way to spoil us rotten. SERVICE SCORE -- 10+ The boss ordered the jumbo shrimp (the oxymoron still makes me laugh) and she found them to be satisfactory but not quite stellar. I went with the prime rib and got exactly the cut I asked Sarah to describe to the chef and it was done to a perfect medium rare. For my side, I chose the shrimp bisque and had I known how great that was going to be, I'd have skipped the steak and just ordered a bottomless bowl of the bisque ... YES, it was that good!!! FOOD SCORE -- 4 of 5. But, let's talk about the elephant in the room ... every soul in the house was shouting over the other dozen people at their respective tables... the noise level on a Saturday during the evening rush made me wish I had known to bring earplugs or noise-canceling headphones. The noise level might have been partially attributable to the very generous pour that every glass seemed to have. AMBIENCE SCORE -- Ungraded. All in, though, we had a decent meal at a fair price and got top-shelf service from Sarah (the highlight of the visit.) If we were ever in town visiting again, we'd go back.

For us, it was busy but the service was fast and very friendly. The beer selection focuses on microbrewery's, which I prefer. I selected a German blonde beer from Bemidji. For my meal I did the walleye sandwich. It was breaded & deep fried walleye on a hoagie bun with tomato's, lettuce, red onions and tartar sauce. It was big and it hit the spot! My SO had the walleye filet and shrimp bisque. She said the bisque was the star of the show. The view over the lake makes this a special place. The loud noise from other tables detracts somewhat from that experience.
