Whole family did eat even my I don't like Mexican son. Got there about 6:30 pm on a friday , it was storming they was just about 5-10 minutes wait.

Kids chicken and rice, steak fajita salad and verde pulled burrito. Would stop again when I pass back through town.

I had heard whispers in the barnyard for weeks about this place. "Authentic." "Life-changing."…read more"Unlimited chips." Naturally, I assumed it was another one of those trendy farm-to-table establishments where everyone stares at you like you're both the customer *and* the menu. But after one visit to *Tellos*, I can confidently say this was the finest dining experience of my entire porcine existence. First impressions matter. The moment I trotted through the door, my snout was assaulted--in the best possible way--by the smell of roasted peppers, sizzling onions, cilantro, garlic, lime, and slow-cooked meat. For a brief moment, I forgot my own species. I forgot taxes. I forgot the electric fence incident of 2023. The aroma alone nearly made me levitate. The décor was immaculate. Colorful papel picado fluttered from the ceiling like festive little flags announcing, "Yes, pig, you are safe here." Hand-painted tiles lined the walls. There was a fountain in the corner that made me emotional for reasons I still don't understand. The music? Soft mariachi mixed with upbeat Latin jazz. Loud enough to feel alive, quiet enough to hear myself chewing. Now let's discuss the chips and salsa. The chips arrived warm. *Warm.* Do you understand what that means to a creature accustomed to eating room-temperature pellets from a dented metal trough? These weren't chips. These were crispy golden fragments of divine intervention. Perfect salt distribution. Structurally sound. Not one snapped under salsa pressure. And the salsa... sweet mother of mud puddles. It arrived in three forms: * Green salsa: tangy, bright, slightly smoky. Made me kick my back leg uncontrollably. * Red salsa: deep, roasted flavor with enough heat to make my ears flap like helicopter blades. * Habanero salsa: briefly allowed me to see through time. I consumed all three with reckless abandon. The waiter--whose mustache alone deserved five stars--recommended the carnitas tacos. I froze. As a pig, this was morally complicated territory. It felt like attending a family reunion and realizing everyone else was on the menu. But curiosity won. Reader, I have no words. The tortillas were soft and fresh with just enough char. The carnitas were crispy on the edges, tender in the middle, juicy enough to make me tear up. Topped with diced onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime so perfectly balanced it could've resolved international conflicts. Every bite was a spiritual crisis wrapped in corn. I spent several minutes staring into the middle distance afterward. The rice was fluffy instead of dry. The refried beans had actual flavor instead of tasting like edible wallpaper paste. The guacamole was prepared tableside with such ceremony and respect that I almost stood up and saluted. Then came the horchata. As a pig, I normally hydrate from puddles and occasionally garden hoses. This drink changed me fundamentally. Creamy cinnamon sweetness with ice so cold it made my tiny curly tail vibrate. I drank three glasses and briefly considered learning piano. Now we must address the service. Not once did the staff make me feel unwelcome despite the obvious tension surrounding my species. No strange looks. No whispered conversations. No "special pork menu." They treated me like royalty. At one point the waiter even said, "Take your time, amigo," and I nearly cried into my enchiladas. The only negative part of the evening occurred when I became overly enthusiastic near the salsa bar and accidentally knocked over a decorative cactus. Instead of anger, the staff simply nodded with the weary understanding of people who have seen true chaos before. Dessert was churros. I didn't know churros could exist in this dimension. Crunchy exterior. Soft center. Cinnamon sugar coating so perfect it should be studied by scientists. The chocolate dipping sauce was thick enough to qualify as emotional support. By the end of the meal, I could no longer physically stand. I had to be gently rolled toward the exit like a large satisfied beanbag chair. As I lay in the parking lot staring at the stars, belly round as destiny itself, I understood something profound: This restaurant didn't just feed me. It healed me. 5/5 snorts. Would risk existential discomfort again.

My sister didn't like her food either but just wanted to be nice so she took it to go when we paid our bill of $19.25 and told the server to keep the change his response was "no tip?" And we said no, have a good day..as we're leaving he proceeded to say "learn how to f-ing tip" and at that point we knew we should've went and spent our money somewhere else for them to barely have any customers the service should've been way better and I'm not the type to leave a review but that was a crazy experience no one should have to deal with just wanting to go get food.

So much better than the one on Washington St. atmosphere is great, waiters and waitresses are very polite and expedient. First time I had the chimichanga loca and the second time had the El Pinches Special. Both were delicious. I didn't leave hungry. Second time was with a wedding party. I had bragged about this restaurant. Every one was pleased. Prices are reasonable and most importantly the food is superb. 3rd time being here. Saturday about 7 pm. Place is busy, but got seated immediately, underneath a tv. Our waitress Jasmine being her 1st job was superb. Ordered drinks and dinner. Food was delicious. Noticed people adjacent to us watching the tv, a soccer match. A different waitress with dark hair in a long pony tail wearing glasses came and turned the volume on the tv above us which was blaring. I signaled for her to turn it down. After struggling with the remote for a minute she was able to lower the volume but was still to loud. I motioned for our waitress. I explained to her knowing it was not her fault, but this isn't a damn sports bar. Asked her to relay that to the establishment. This is a restaurant not a sports bar, if people want that atmosphere then they should go to a place like Hooter's where they don't care if your hearing gets damaged. I like this restaurant but my desire to return may be influenced by this. My sister went at a later date and experienced the same sports bar atmosphere. Says she won't go back. Went back solo. Told hostess just one but wanted a booth. She looked around, then asked me how many and if I would like a booth. DUH! I hope they return to how it was in the beginning! Keep the tv audio muted!!

#89 Tuesday I was…read moreout visiting friends in the Covington area and was craving Mexican food. Since I left the Bay Area I have not delighted on Mexican fare and thought it was about time. Enter: El Charro Mexican Restaurant per friendly recommendation. I will say that El Charro is not the typical west coast Mexican cuisine I am used to, but it is still quite tasty. Everything was a little different than what I expected, but I am all about new things. The place was pretty packed when we arrived. I was with a group of six, so I figured it was smart to put our name down on the wait list and then grab a bar stool with a shot of tequila to pass the time. To my surprise, as I was ordering my shot the hostess came and got us for our table. Wow! I paid for the shot and followed my group. The server greeted us in a timely fashion and brought chips, salsa and a friendly smile. He told us he would be back momentarily to take our order. No problem. We had tequila, chips, salsa and great conversation--I figured we could find something to do to pass the time. The music was playing pretty loudly, and it was super authentic Mexican music. The lighting was kinda low, but not too low that you could not read the menu. The decor took me straight to a memory of last summer in Cabo and the menu was loaded with options. I was getting really hungry and the freshly made chips and salsa were going fast--along with our tequila. Our server returned (Julio, I think) and brought even more chips and salsa and asked if we were ready for more tequila. He said we looked like we needed a few more shots--he was right. +1 Julio! We also decided to start with some fresh guacamole, some queso dip for our chips and loaded nachos. The nachos were piled high with toppings--all freshly made. The guacamole was super delicious with just a hint of cilantro and heat from jalepeno and I absolutely loved that queso cheese. The Bay Area does not offer cheese like that. For my dinner I went with three bean and cheese tacos. They were marvelous. I mean, they did not look all that spectacular, just three tacos; however, they really packed plenty of flavor. I had some pico de gallo on the side and I was in heaven. One member of the group went with chimichangas, some one else grabbed fajitas, I saw a big burrito--a big, wet, red burrito actually, and it looked pretty amazing. Everything was really good and served really fast. I am glad my friend recommended El Charro. Our service was exceptional, especially for how busy they were. I will definitely return, and bring friends. Stephani Smiles for El Charro ;) #tacosandtequillaarentjustfortuesdays
