I'm not really sure about the negative reviews, because El Charro was my favorite place for dinner…read moreduring my week-long stay in Dilley, TX. As I read other reviews, I noticed folks mentioned that the food and service were better in the evenings, which might be why I had such good luck? Anyway, I visited El Charro twice and as a current pescatarian, I was grateful to see so many vegetarian/pescatarian options that looked delicious. My colleagues were also impressed with the variety of dishes, and each dish that was ordered was consistently tasty and presented nicely. We ordered: Spinach enchiladas Caldo de ocho mares + tortilla soup Shrimp & Tilapia with garlic sauce + veggies + rice Shrimp "a la diabla" with veggies + rice We were also grateful for the full bar! Drinks were presented nicely & were very tasty as well. I was very very pleased with the taste of the fish and shrimp, the dish was full of flavor and didn't feel too heavy. My only "complaint" would be that the vegetables served weren't very fresh, as I could tell they were previously frozen. Otherwise, the rice and corn tortillas were tasty and authentic and made for great meals overall. Service was always friendly and efficient! I definitely recommend El Charro if you're in the area, as the options are limited, and this is a good spot for sure.

The eggs for the chilaquiles were cooked over medium as I asked for, the green sauce over the chips was flavorful with a bit of heat. The refried beans were good and sprinkled with queso fresco. The breakfast tacos were wrapped on a fluffy, tender tortilla and the eggs and potatoes were cooked well. They dropped off a bottle of red sauce and that was tasty.

We were seated by ourselves and a waitress came to the table very quickly for our drink order. Within 15 minutes we've given our food order and there was a salad, a burger and a chicken fried steak sandwich that was ordered at our table. Hour and 36 minutes later our food arrived. Multiple tables of people who came in after us received their food first. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting and the smell of the hallway was putrid. The waitress was nice and the ambience was well, we'll just leave it at South Texas. I would not recommend anyone here or frequent this restaurant and I would not be returning.

I would look at this place solely as a drive through beer barn with the perks of having burgers,beer, and pizza to go. The burgers are fair due in part to the delicious sour dough bread, they are filling, as well as pricey.

There is a restaurant that looks like home cooking and smells really good, but I was looking to grab a couple items, not wait on food. I went into the aside that looked like the food store and meat market, I wasn't there long but all I saw was alcohol. I went into the other side which appears to be the restaurant. It's probably worth trying, just wasn't what I was looking for. The signage outside is very misleading.

Once one finds the entrance and goes inside though, it is a well kept family style restaurant. We ordered food to-go due to Covid restrictions, although the restaurant was allowing indoor seating (allowable per local regulation). They were following local rules and protocols correctly it seemed. The food was good, as I recall now, but not overly memorable. Camper parking note: plenty of space here to park and hang a U-turn to get out. Probably not advisable for big motorhomes. Getting out of the place a bit of a Frogger game as the road is two lanes in both directions plus a center turn lane. But, it seems the traffic light in town controls the southbound traffic well to eventually give an exit opportunity.
