My mom loves the menudo every Sunday with the barbacoa! The service is fast and the staff is always nice and fast with service.

My husband and I have been here twice and the food and service is amazing. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic West Texas Mexican Food and great service. read more

For the first time trying this place out and not to bad at all. Decent size portions and really good flavor Had the enchilada plate and a beef and chicken fajitas for 2 read more

I've niw been here a few times. Each time the food and service has been great! I haven't had anything I didn't enjoy.

I have been going to this restaurant for the past 3 years. Lately service has been so unsatisfactory. I have placed several pick up orders and without fail, they are incorrect. This last time just did it. I ordered 3 cheeseburgers with fries, they added guacamole on all of them and drowned them in mayo. I also ordered a burrito with gravy on the side, I did not receive it. read more

First time here, Service was fantastic. Food was good. The guacamole was amazing! Will be back

I have no problem with the quality of food. I do have a problem with the service. Lunch is priced at 9.99 and I was charged 11.99 for each lunch plate-three plates is $6.00 I called and argued the point with the woman that answered after 3 phone calls. She refused to honor the price. The website shows 9.99. I have had issues with service before-giving them a second chance was a bad decision on my part. I will not be going again and I will make sure to tell others about their customer service. read more

Yes 100%! My husband and I were visiting and looking for a good place to get Mexican food. Stumbled upon El Charro and was not disappointed! The food was excellent! My husband is very picky and he gave them an 8/10 and said how good it was 3x! Trust me that's a big win, he's an excellent chef and critic. And I even got to practice my Spanish with the sweet gals there! Sin duda volvere! read more

Quick stop for some breakfast tacos to go! They have a decent special with the buy 3 mix and match breakfast tacos for $5.99. I got a potato and egg and a papa ranchero. Both came out good. I like that they really filled the tacos, no skimping out on the food. The papas ranchero had some good flavor too. I didn't even need the salsa. I saw some reviews mentioned the tortillas being burned- not this time. I got flour tortillas and they were on point! No negatives at all. The service was good too. The food came out in about 6 minutes. It was a to go order, so I really just sat in the waiting area til they called me. But the ladies were nice and interactive. I definitely look forward to trying more on the menu! read more

El Charro Mexican Restaurant - Eggs a la mexicana - Mexican Near Me - Schertz, Texas

This is an old restaurant and I don't mind that if the food is good. There are so many great Mexican restaurants in San Antonio, I won't be coming back to this place. I got the breakfast chicharron and egg taco. The chicharron was not crunchy and almost gummy texture. The egg was cooked well. The hot sauce was just okay. Staff: the employees look tired, but service was good Cleanliness: average Bathroom: below average and in need of a renovation read more

An interesting time-capsule, local restaurant. Stopped in on a recent cold Saturday morning for a breakfast taco. Place was crowded but not packed. Ordered a machacado and egg taco. The flour tortilla was horrible! The tortilla was partially scorched and hard. Tasted like it came from a major grocery store and was warmed by an amateur. And the machacado and egg was just mediocre. Ambiance: rough 1970s San Antonio family restaurant Service: decent service Overall cleanliness: average Bathroom cleanliness: below average Misc.: Pay after eating at register read more

I recently moved back to the San Antonio area and I have been trying to find a good Mexican restaurant. We decided on El Charro, and WOW! Incredible service from our waitress Beatriz. She greeted us as soon as we walked in and helped make the dining experience wonderful. Food was quick to come out, piping hot and fresh. The ambiance reminded me of growing up in my grandparents small restaurant. Very warm and we will definitely be back! read more

Ate here this morning & they served my husbands taco plate with a dead cockroach under his tacos . We asked to speak to the manager we were told she was very busy got up too leave and we saw the manager chitchatting with the other waitresses. She wasn't busy at all but running her mouth. We told her we were not paying for the tacos because of the cockroach on his plate but she made us pay for the food anyway. She said she could only give a 10% discount off the tacos. Steer far away from this restaurant as possible unless you like added meat on your plate !!!! read more

The staff is always friendly! The food is very authentic and flavorful. I love the street tacos. The carne guisada is delicious as well! The only thing we didn't enjoy was their Caldo de Pollo but we let the staff know and they said they would work on it. read more

We use to come here every weekend prior to COVID. Loved the food. Tried it out again. But even the kids said it didn't taste the same. Had the menudo (that I always loved ) but now I got to watch out for the bones. Both small and large. Not the best in town anymore As my dad would say maybe " the may have changed cooks" read more

Food and service are both five stars here. The best Mexican food in the area. Menudo is top tier.

Had a great experience here on a Friday! I ordered mini tacos al pastor and my kids ordered the adult fajita quesadilla plate. They served chips and salsa w/ drinks while you wait for your food. We had a great bilingual waitress, I didnt get her name but she was so friendly and gave us great customer service. My kids loved the quesadillas, they looked soo good and very cheesy!! But you have to love Tex-Mex because the beans did taste like canned beans but not horrible. Rice was good and the guac could have been a little fresher but again, they loved it since they are more into the rice and quesadillas. I added queso fresco to the mini tacos and they were amazing!! My plate came w/ charro beans, they could have been better though. If you like sweet limonada this is the place, it was delicious!! They served the limonada in a jarrito(mexican-clay-pottery mini barrel shaped cups), impressive! Again overall our experience was great, the waitress was very nice unlike when waitresses are in a bad mood in other places. For three adult plates, two limonadas, and a sprite we paid under $50 without counting the tip, great price for 3!! Service was fast but probably because there wasnt many ppl there at 5pm. Ambiance was great too, not hot, average clean, and good mexican music:) read more

Hadn't been there in 3 years but decided to retry it. Mistake!! Ordered posole, had a few hominy but hardly any. Daughter ordered 1 taco of chorizo and egg with potatoes and cheese. Everything was extra cist over $4. Husband ordered chiliquilles plate on window but not on menu $15.99!! Son in law gad 3 tacos. We had no drinks just waters. Paid extra for to go container. Bill was over $43. Asked for military discount. Only applicable to Id card holders not whole bill. Then was charged for paying with bank card. Bill went from 43 to 41 dollars and again didn't even order drinks!! Never again. This place is a rip off. Go to Garcia's where the food us really good and no extra fees for containers ir using bank card. Also military discount on the whole bill. Garcia's way better and classier. read more

I've been meaning to put my review for this place. It was pretty awesome. The food portions are huge for those that are hangry. The staff is on point and fast. We could have not asked for a better experience. The last few times We've been the experience was great. July2020 - this place is still on point. Maybe low ratings are to keep it from getting too crowded. read more

El Charro Mexican Restaurant - Shrimp Nacho - Mexican Near Me - Schertz, Texas

Food is ok service sucks the waitress don't like to wait on people cause they don't tip well. But I can understand why since one particular waitress is rude and nasty to some customers. I've seen her yell at older customers. Was in for dinner one night and had roaches crawling on the table I as at. Found hair in my food on multiple occasions. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL. I would give zero stars read more

Good food, very friendly service staff. I've been there twice and each time they treated me very well!

This is under new management and it is terrible. Overheard that today was their first day under new management. I feel they should have been better prepared. There's no organization in the way things are ran. You walk in and it's hard to tell if you seat yourself or wait to be seated. The waitresses have terrible customer service. I waited nearly an hour for breakfast tacos to go. Come to find out my food had been sitting on the counter and they didn't say anything to me. Tacos weren't even that great. If you can avoid this place, do. Food is bad and service is even worse. read more

Good food good prices. Nice staff. Clean place. Offers great selections. Tacos were good despite sitting in a foil boat of grease. Maybe drain the meat is all read more

Unorganized. First word that comes to mind. I spent damn near 20 on a torta, kids burger, sweet tea, coffee and 2 tortillas. No complaints had it been worth it. Waitress was kind, but forgetful. I waited on my coffee refill, waited for a long time, no memory. I know a cup of coffee is based on refills and.so forth. Shoot, I should have just went to Starbucks or somewhere else. Tea tasted like it had saccharine not real sugar. Waitress should have their own sections so they can attend the customer's adequately, especially if it tends to get full. Ijs. read more

Best salsa verde in town Everyone is always so nice and greeting. I recommend the huevos diverciados read more

We ordered the chicken fajita plates to take home. They were not seasoned properly. No green bell peppers, with only a few small pieces of onion. The salad was sparse. The meal was not cook well. We had to cook the chicken a bit on the stove. We love Mexican food. I cannot classify this as Mexican food. Real Mexican people are the best cooks. Better get your Mexican food elsewhere. read more

Excellent food and customer service. Good is always hot and fresh and consistent. Favorite place for tacos!

Their barbacoa is beyond reproach. We grab a pound anytime we have early guests, great food. Nice staff. Would def recommend this restaurant to anyone in the market for good texmex food. read more

Small dinner but awesome service, we love the food and that we can order online for pickup.

My wife & I stopped in today after a long time away from this restaurant. My friends urged us to go back & give them a try. They were right! We both loved our dishes and thought that the portions were very good for the $. We had an excellent waitress for table 26 around 10:45 am. Other than the music being a bit loud for my liking; we had a great meal and experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Terrible place with cockroaches, and The Owner knew because the waitress told him and he didn't even apologized, he's very arrogant , that's why he changed waitress every weekend, he like to kiss the ass to white people going to their tables to say hi taking the food to them and to his own raza he ignored them ! My entire family and friends we don't go anymore! read more

We've been here a couple of times and it has always been good. Today we ordered chicharrones and they were so undercooked someone could have easily gotten sick. The service was terrible. We wait 35 minutes for our drinks and some salsa. Our waitress ignored us 3 times before we had to flag someone else down. When explained our concerns about the under cooked food. The waitress said well that's chicharrones and became very condescending. read more

El Charro Mexican Restaurant - Under cooked chicharrones - Mexican Near Me - Schertz, Texas

Piratas de asada mini tacos w/charros, good flavor, but as suspected, everytime I get a steak or asada here, it's a little tough, so I recommend the pastor, barbacoa, or carnitas for your tacos. All mini tacos here come with raw and grilled onions and a grilled jalapeno tornado. They are always tender and flavorful. The asada was diced very small and also lacked flavor. Their pastor is very flavorable. Also, the corn tortillas aren't as corn prominent, as the wonderful Erick's Tacos. I wished I lived next door to that place or any of the taquerias on Nacogdoches Road. Service is always great at El Charro with the owner also checking on everyone. read more
