    a sign in a mexican restaurant
    Kandy F.

    While waiting at a nearby shop for tires, we walked around and found El Charro for lunch!! We came in when it first opened and it quickly filled up with regular patrons!! That's a good sign. We were greeted and given a table right away. While looking over the menu, our waiter brought chips and salsa with waters. I had an awesome burrito. My friend had the chili relleno and tacos. It's street parking. You might have to drive around a couple of times to get the parking spot you like. Overall, a nice place to enjoy a meal with friends and family. The staff here are also friendly.

    Including chips and salsa

    We parked in the street, it sounded like there is parking in the rear. One guest said they parked out back, so that makes me think they have a private lot. When we waked in it was a little chilly. I put my sweater on and then it was the perfect temperature. They have 2 dining rooms. The bar dining room was warmer and dimly lit. No one was in that dining room. Both dining rooms are around the same size. Soon as we walked in we were greeted and said we could sit anywhere. We picked out a table between 2 tables full of people eating. The place was very lively and by the time we left all but one table was full. Soon as we sat down we were given chips and salsa and menus. The chips and salsa hit the spot. It was 6pm and we were hungry. We were recommend this place from our barber who has a shop down the street. She recommended 81. We were afraid that it would be too much food so we almost didn't get it, but we figured it out that the price would be the same if we both ordered a plate so we took our chances. We got number 81. It was delicious. The stone bowl it came in stayed hot and kept the food warm. I had cactus for the first time. It was very tasty. Both the steak and chicken were very tender, better then expected. The shrimp were well grilled. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I did. I'd order it again. The only down side was the sauce was really spicy. I dipped my chicken in it and got a big scoop of the sauce and regretted it. If you don't scoop up the sauce it's just right.

    Omg try the drinks!!!! This is my first time here. The chips and salsa were ok. The customer service was excellent! But the real deal are the cooooold drinks!

    In Woodland for work and stopped by El Charro for dinner. I ordered the carne asada combo. It came with fresh made corn tortillas. Food and service was excellent. Highly recommend!!

    When in woodland, this is our favorite Mexican restaurant to visit. It's the best way to support a small women owned business! Service and food are always on point. Consistency is key to this spot. The seating is traditional as well with leather equipales that hug you comfortably as you enjoy your meal. Chips and salsa are the perfect appetizers. Full bar available if you enjoy a drink or two.

    Their Posole and horchata
    Elyse Gutierrez ..

    I've been a few times for lunch and it's always delicious. But I find myself coming here for breakfast more often. Hands down the BEST Posole in Woodland. Their huevos rancheros plate (I add carnitas) is amazing with their fresh corn tortillas. The horchata is great too. My fiancé and I crave it every weekend and find ourselves here almost every Sunday. The service is great as well!

    Receipt

    We paid $47 for 7 tacos that were not that great, they were bare bones. They charged the order of 4 tacos as two plates, which apparently was a "combo" for a small amount of food. They offered rice and beans on the side (a small scoop of each), and did not say it would be extra-- it was misleading. Spoke to the server and they were firm on not changing the price. We feel scammed. Las Brasas in Woodland is higher quality food for less than half the cost and better communication.

An actual old bank vault turned into a whiskey room. It's got history, character, and honestly nothing around here compares. It reminds me of what places like Gomez's Restaurant and Tequileria did with their tequila wall, but this is on another level. It feels authentic and you can tell it was done with intention. The food is always solid. Good portions, good flavor, and consistent every time. It's the kind of place you can rely on whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal. What really makes it though is the people. Patrick is an amazing person. You can tell he genuinely cares about the place, the staff, and the customers. It shows in how everything runs. It feels real, not forced. And honestly, this is the only place in town I'm grabbing a Guinness. They do it right and the whole vibe just fits. Good food, great atmosphere, and even better people.

The location is perfect right in the heart of downtown, surrounded by history and that small town charm Woodland is known for. You walk in and immediately feel the character of the place. It's not manufactured, it's real, and that matters. The atmosphere is on point. It balances upscale and relaxed in a way that works whether you're there for a date night, business dinner, or just grabbing a drink. The lounge has great energy and always feels alive without being too much. The food speaks for itself. Consistently high quality, fresh, and well executed. You can tell there's intention behind every dish, not just going through the motions. For the level of quality you're getting, the value is absolutely there. Service is a big reason this place stands out. Christy is amazing. She genuinely cares, remembers people, and makes sure you're taken care of the right way. It never feels forced, just natural hospitality. This is one of those spots that's become part of Woodland's identity.

Another server had to come retake our order, and even then things still came out wrong. I asked for no cheese because I'm lactose intolerant, but my burger came with cheese anyway. Out of 7 drinks ordered, 3 were forgotten. One drink specifically requested no sugar on the rim and came out with sugar. I did feel bad for the replacement server. He looked incredibly nervous and was visibly shaking. Despite all the mishaps, we still left him a good tip because it honestly seemed like the whole place was struggling that night.
