Our first time at El Charro was incredible! The food was outstanding & a great value ! It got quite busy, but the service was excellent. Thumbs up!

A cut above the many Mexican joints in the area. all the food is flavorful and well spiced. Staff is helpful with any special requests.

Their puffy-style tacos are different and delucious. I have eaten most of the food on the menu and it has always been great.

John Allor

Food and service always great. We had our wedding rehersal dinner here as well and everyone was pleased!

"First time? Order a Traditional Botana for the table and try a Puffy Soft Shell Taco . Both unique and delicious."

Daniel Eckenrode

You cannot leave with out trying the Flan .... I would fill up a swimming pool , and dive into it if I could... It's seriously the Bestest Ever!!!!!

Danielle Toerper

Hands down the best enchiladas in MI. I've tried so many other places and they don't even compare.

Erin Jones

Most places that offer a wet burrito give you a huge over stuffed burrito , but the one here is small and deflated. Guacamole is good though.

Megan Poe

Wasn't all that impressed with the beef enchiladas .. Loved the environment of the place tho.

Thomas Martz

Food is great, but the Sangria is fabulous!!!

Derek Eng

The chefs choice taco dinner is always a great choice!

Amy Jeanguenat

Overall quick service . The soft shell tacos are like nothing you have had before. The pumped up shells taste great with guacamole .

Leah Zilinski

The queso flamado appetizer is the bomb.

Shredded beef chimichanga !!! Tasty.

Management just ruined a good birthday party by refusing to honor THEIR foursquare check in coupon. Idiots! Obviously someone in management did it. They even have their entire menu on foursquare too!

Michael Szypa

Frozen Margaritas definitely!

Botanas are amazing!! Great atmosphere! Service has been quality for us!

Be sure to ask for the extra hot sauce for the chips !

Overpriced and unseasoned food. The "Unique" soft taco shells are gross.
