This THE BEST Mexican restaurant in the Griffin/Spalding County area. Shrimp Fajitas are loaded with properly cooked shrimp. Margurita is KILLER! read more

The food here was good, but the service wasn't so great. Our food came out quickly, but it wasn't any better than any other Mexican restaurant that we've ever eaten at. Given the choice in the future, I'll take Gabino's or Los Portales over this place any day. read more

food was kinda tasteless, but the service was good and the servers were nice. The vibe Felt like an authentic Mexican restaurant and the margaritas were bussin. read more

This is my second time here, and I feel like I wrote a review on this one-of-a-kind place. But let me tell you what's so different and special in my book. First, the hospitality hits you as soon as you walk in the door--the greetings, the where would you like to sit? I thought that was so nice. Secondly, their shrimp cocktail is the best. I'm used to the shrimp cocktail with the 4 or 5 shrimp on the rim of a glass and the sauce inside the glass. But here, at El Charro, the shrimp cocktail is in a giant goblet. The sauce is filled to the top, and at least more than ten large shrimp are inside with tomatoes, avocados, and onions. It is the best I've ever had. I also ordered the chicken noodle soup. The theme here is that everything is huge. The soup comes out with the broth and chicken inside the bowl, and on the side are all the items that go inside: the carrots, corn, potatoes, beans, and avocado. This was one good hearty bowl of soup, tons of chicken, and potatoes. The broth was so good, hot and delicious. I enjoyed my meal and had to get a couple of takeout boxes for my shrimp cocktail and my soup. Like I said, the theme of food in this restaurant is huge! But the best part is that it's good eating. read more

What can I say! The food is great, lots of choices to satisfy anyone. Very helpful staff. So many choices to satisfy anyone's tastes. Yummy!!! read more

Great food and service!!! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and competitive prices. Short wait times even on busy nights.

Decent Mexican spot if you ask me. The food is really reasonable and the service is great. Our waitress made sure the drinks stayed topped off and salsa on the table. I got a lunch special that came with a enchilada, chili relleno, and beans. I added a tamale which I didn't care too much for. Seemed to be a frozen store bought kind but still edible. The wife had a chicken dishe that smothered rice. She liked it too. Kids were happy! We'll definitely be going back. Family of 4 ate for $37.11 can't beat that! read more

The service was great and the food was tasty, but it did not seem fresh. It seem like it was made the day before.

Excellent food & service. We hired elcharro for a huge event for 175. The food was 10 stars. The staff filled up my truck. Everything was packaged well and the partygoers raved over the flavor & abundance of the meal! read more

Only gave on star because it wouldn't allow me to leave no stars. Tried to place a Togo order and the server kept hanging up on us. We tried for 20 min. Then we arrive at the restaurant and we speak to the owner. And the owner blows us off and answers the phone to take a Togo order with us standing there trying to place an order. We just walked out..... feel like it was because we were two women. Will not be back will not support a place that discriminates against women. read more

Owner and servers very rude. The food wasn't seasoned and the place had greasy floors. My food was ordered wrong at that. After attempting to just take the L and not come back here's the icing on the cake. The bill was $10 over what was expected from the menu. read more

Grate food and grate service I very much recommend this place we have this place and if you ever get the chance to go you need to

Rude people wen they mess up on your order use to be good people until you get people that stay on their phones bring back the young girl with blonde in her hair she was very good read more

I was looking for a burrito with shredded beef but they don't have it. I settled for a chicken nacho dish that was very very good. Unfortunately my husband was very disappointed in his beef burrito, tasteless beef, so he will not be back. read more

El Charro Mexican Restaurants - a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Griffin, Georgia

In a town with a few different Hispanic restaurants I would assume they would try harder to be better than Taco Bell but alas I was wrong. Food here is always bland. The lack of spices and seasonings that are a hallmark of the cuisine is striking. No issues with the service, or the staff, or even the wait times. But when I go out for food the food is always the most important part of the experience which is why I do not go out to El Charro anymore. I learned my lesson. read more

First bad experience there today. Ordered the carnitas and the were DISGUSTING! Big chunks of fatty gristly pork that were like a rock and couldn't be cut. I left the whole meal and the waitress didn't even bother to ask why! I didn't want to embarrass my family so I said nothing! I won't go back. read more

The service was crappy, I was disrespected and the manager and the workers kept disrespecting me.

Let me tell y'all! We love Mexican food! But it's something about this place. Close to the house is the best thing cause these drinks here will knock you out lol. They are good and you don't even know you getting drunk until you get up. read more

Food and service was amazing. Never had a complaint about food being wrong. Great location as well

Best Mexican food in Griffin, Ga. Drinks and cheese dip are SUPERB. Chips always come out hot.

servers and owner/manager are so rude...stay away! I was met with nothing but disdain over being charged the wrong amount by the staff.

i have never been here before until yesterday and when I tell you the counter person was so rude I was trying to place my order and she never once looked at me or ad me at that just mhm and okay, when I got my food it was unflavored and kinda warm not hot as if it was JUST cooked so no I'm not coming back and it's not worth the rude service 1 Star read more

This establishment doesn't care about its customers at all they truly don't care if your order is correct or not not to mention the food is subpar lacking any real flavor and you can consider yourself lucky if you get it hot will never come back to this place read more

It was just okay food. Not planning on a return visit. The prices were reasonable. Service was okay. It wasn't busy but took a bit to get our lunch. read more

This is a gathering place for family and friends. The service is fantastic, and the food is consistently good.

Food has always been great and never really had to wait for the food. As busy that it always is I'm really surprise. It's getting to the point that the seats are getting so worn out. It's very uncomfortable to seat and eat. read more

Simple eatery - food is good and reasonably priced.Chicken Fajitas very tasty and filling.

Used to be good, but the past few times I've been here mine and/or my wife's orders have been wrong. When we brought it to the attention of our waitress, Araceli, she told us we "must have ordered wrong" and did nothing to fix it. Don't waste your time or money at El Charro in Griffin, if you want Mexican food that bad, just go to El Toro Loco, I wish we would have. read more

it was bad they wouldn't let me get my money back or fix my ordering Poor customer service, and they was rude speaking in Spanish right in front of me like I don't know Spanish read more

Terrible service and food. I ordered enchiladas Supreme Togo. I came with no enchilada sauce. I ordered fajitas and received no tortillas. I called and the lady told me she did not care if I ever came back. So I guarantee you this crappy restaurant will never get my money. TRASH. read more

been a few months ago.. but.. not a place i plan on going back to. service was beyond "slow'.. was not attentive, food was not very good, drinks were a bit "lacking" for the price. wasnt exactly a "1 star".. but, definitely a solid 2 star.. my Colombian wife is the real "culinary" expert on Latin food.. she would give it 1 star i am sure.. just nothing really good to say about it.. MAYBE they get their act together, but, food quality was not good, so not sure how they change that up. read more

Popped in here for a quick lunch on the north side of town. We usually go to LaParilla, but we thought we'd try something new since we were up that way. El Charro has been around since my high school days, and usually when I eat here, it's okay. We came in a little early - around 11AM. It took a while to see a server, but once he came over, he was quick to take our order and bring our drinks. Both my husband and I ordered the lunch chicken fajitas. Once our food came out, it was warm, but the tortillas were on fire. The best way for me to describe the food is that it just feels thrown together. The pico de gallo had too much lime or lemon. The guac doesn't have enough flavor, and the chicken was chewy and had lots of gross tendons (seriously gagging). I quit eating after the 2nd time I nearly had to spit my food out. The salsa and chips were delicious, and that was basically our lunch. I left most of my food on my plate. Once we were ready to leave, we couldn't track down our server for our check. I thought about going to the register to see if we could just tell her what we ordered, but there was already someone waiting for the cashier to return to her post. The prices are much more reasonable than La Parilla down the road, but it's worth it to us to pay more for better quality and service. read more

Can you say dinner for two, in and out in 25 mins.at under $20? That's right folks. Large plates of food. 5star. Very fast service. 5 star. Taste 4.5 star. Chips& salsa. 5 star. Location. 5 star. Overall, good place. I had the chicken enchilada.wife had the combo enchilada. Happy wife, happy life. read more

We love this new place, well new for us. Great value for money, tastes fantastic. Wonderful staff and very affordable.

Filthy. There was food under the tables, and in the booths. The waiter sat us down without even noticing or caring, either one. The food was greasy and bland. My friend asked for no onions in her meal as she is allergic. They served her meat full of onions, which either means they don't care for people with food allergies or the meat is pre-made and not fresh. I don't know what happened to this restaurant. They were top years ago, now they're a shadow of their former self. read more

I visited El Charro getting familiar with the area, and honestly I have to say they exceeded my expectations. From the moment you arrive the young lady at tge hostess stand was very nice and had a great personality. The waitress was nice, efficient and definitely made aure we were okay throughout our dinner. Even though there was a party of 9 and a party of 7 in front of us, we waited all of a minute, if that. The staff was very attentive to the need of the customers. If you needed a refill, they were there before you asked. Appetizers arrived under 10 min after ordering and the entrees arrived shortly after ordering. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I wish I would've gotten the names of the employees, but unfortunately I forgot to ask, but it doesn't take away from their SUPERB SERVICE!!! I will definitely be back soon. read more
