Wish there were more stars to give as we had a GREAT experience here. We got there late one evening and didn't realize they were getting ready to close until we walked in, and we were just assuming that we would not be able to eat. We were greeted and ask how many were in our party and we ask "are we too late" and he told us "absolutely not, we will take care of you!" We ordered drinks and took a minute to look over the menu. We ordered and our food came out very quickly and was really good ! The portions were HUGE and everything was excellent! Thanks guys for taking GREAT care of us, we will be back ! read more

See all

Food was horrible, bacon was burnt beyond recognition. Pricing is terrible. We were charged a refill on a soda of 3.00 and 6.99 for an extra salad plate. A bill for two with one entree, two fountain drinks, queso and an extra salad with tip was 43.00. Way overpriced, horrible table service to boot. Would not recommend to anyone. Have been going there for many years but will no longer patronize. read more

great service. kind staff. pretty interior. the food was great until I seen a cockroach. I know things happen so we informed the staff after paying. read more

Delicious and inexpensive! Went here with my boyfriend the other night and he admitted that the food improved immensely since they moved to the new location. Let me just say, their homemade salsa they give us with the chips are amazing! Service is fast and attentive and the setting fits the vibe. read more

The food is normally cold and always bland . The service is better than the food at least, and the ambiance is definitely dark but not the romantic kind just dark and slightly musty. read more

Excellent lunch. I don't like spicy food and I can order most items on the menu. If you like spice you need to ask for it. Service was spot on and food came out quick and hot. read more

The exterior is somewhat questionable but the interior has nice decor. Service was fast and the food was good Mexican. Honestly with the limited options in the area it makes for a great lunch stop on the road. read more

The chicken fajitas were great! The service was very accommodating. I forgot my receipt and they were able to email me another copy. The atmosphere was warm and cheerful. Everyone was so nice. read more

Good authentic Mexican restaurant with authentic Mexican taste. Always enjoy their cheese queso with tortilla chips.

When we walked in, we were greeted, and promptly seated. They brought chips and salas immediately to our table. The food was tasty. The vegetarian options are a bit limited but the they were accommodating enough to swap the chicken on the taco salad out for a generous helping of rice. read more

We stopped at El Charro for the first time Sunday. It was close to 7pm and they were actually getting ready to close, but we asked if we were too late to eat and he allowed us to eat. That's great customer service. I hated to be "that" person that goes into a restaurant five minutes before close and expects to eat, but I thought they were open until nine. Again, truly grateful to the staff for allowing us to eat there. I ordered the Vaca Ranchera, which was steak strips, mushrooms, and onions with cheese dip. It came with rice and beans. Steak was tender and full of flavor. The mushroom and onions paired well and the cheese sauce was a very nice addition. The food was prepared quickly and the service was great. You get a great meal for a reasonable price, too. It's worth making the trip. read more

El Charro - a table and benches in a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Waverly, Ohio

We stopped in here for lunch and it was excellent!! Food was as good as it gets. Service was great. Price was very affordable. Absolutely will return! read more

Incredibly disappointed. I've been here several times and despite repetition, orders are consistently wrong. I also find that quality is subpar with small portions and far pricier than it should be. And the final warning: their menu online, if you can find it, does not match what is available. read more

Not quality food AT ALL! It's an extremely cheap place to eat in EVERY sense of the word.

It's an alright food place chicken is dry all in all very overrated place to eat and would recommend to anyone who likes alright food

My husband and I split the Texas Fajita. It was $12.50. It was shrimp, chicken, beef, onions, mushrooms and peppers with three small flour tortillas. It came with a side of rice, beans, sour cream, lettuce, slice of tomato and guacamole. We were disappointed. Three small flour tortillas was no enough. There was more meat and vegetables than tortillas. 4 or 5 would have been better. Server never checked on us, nor asked us if we needed anything else or fill our drinks. read more

I have been coming to El Charro since they opened several years ago. This was my first experience with a Mexican restaurant and where I learned to love this type of food. Ownership has changed a few times since its opening and quality has changed each time as well. As of today I don't find El Charro to be as appealing as it had been 5 or more years ago. If I am back in the Waverly area I find that we will drive to Chillicothe and eat at Los Mariachis. The food is still very good. My personal favorites are the Pollo Ranchero, and Santa Fe. The chips are always good, the salsa is usually good but seems like they get a little light on ingredients some days. This is Waverly, and there are not many good places to eat, especially if you want Mexican. Considering other options in the area I do recommend eating here. read more

The el Almbre is my favorite, get it every time. Staff friendly with a clean environment.

Great standard stop on our trips from Dublin, OH to Huntington, WV. Good food, impressive variety, fast service and exceptional value. Also less than a block off of Route 23. read more

This place has been in operation for some time now, the quality of the food has improved greatly over the last couple of years and the service has always been good. I always look forward to eating here. read more

This is the best Mexican place ever the staff is amazing and patient I have never had a problem!

Great place! Good, authentic Mexican food. Great service! Try the Especial La Casa!

A good place for a quick bite to eat. It's not on the main road but worth finding. They offer a full Mexican menu. We were there for lunch and were pleased with the choices and service. From what I could see everything was pretty clean. read more

Nice surprise! Great chips and salsa. Would definitely recommend the shredded chicken burrito! Not a fan of the beef burrito but chicken was among the best! read more

Since my mother-in-law moved to Portsmouth, we've eaten at El Charro 3 or 4 times on our way home to Dayton. It's becoming our favorite Mexican restaurant. My wife always gets chicken chimichangas, and these are her favorite. I've tried a few dishes, but the Carnitas are amazing! Even the chips and salsa are special. I'm looking forward to visiting my mom-in-law again soon! read more

Nothing like it used to be. Kitchen staff is different than a few years ago, and the food suffered.

Love their beef chimichangas! Salsa is the best I've ever had. Love Waverly Ohio!

Best enchiladas that I have found anywhere. Everything here is awesome. People were friendly and polite. Quick and speedy service. Will stop again when in town read more

Quite a gem in a small town! Good salsa, excellent guacamole...all the food, from quesadillas to chimichangas to burritos were tasty. Quesadillas had a lot of cheese sauce on top (just so you know). Reasonable prices too. read more

Very good food, friendly and fast staff, and a relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend to others.

Best lunch in Waverly. The Chavo is Awesomo. Quick service and a great price. Give it a shot.

This is a great place to eat! My husband and I have been several times and each time has been fantastic. Their chips and salsa are really delicious, and their cheese quesadilla and rice are my favorite combination. read more
