El Charro

El Charro means cowboy and if I had to pick one to represent then it would be Wyatt Earp all day long and all day strong. I’m talking Kurt Russel standing tall with Sam Elliot and Val Kilmer at his back. Confidence in some killer Mexican food and no way to make a bad choice. Try the Robert Special, two ground beef enchiladas with rice, Belen’s and two eggs over easy on top of the rice. You’ll be a daisy if you do.

Great customer service but my deal breaker is the food. The cheese inside the enchiladas was still cold and so was my chile relleno. I had high hopes with all the great reviews but it happened a second time… Unfortunately I won’t be back. The chips and salsa was delicious.
Side note: I ordered my food to go and I only live a block away.

I really wanted to like this place. The wait staff was super nice, the restaurant is cute inside and it has a fun atmosphere. For all of that I gave it 3 stars. I went for lunch with a friend and ordered a chicken chimichanga. While we waited we were served chips and salsa. I wasn’t impressed with either. Usually I pig out on the chips and salsa but I ate maybe 3 or 4 and was good. The chimichanga was huge and looked so delicious, I was excited to try it! However, biting into it was like biting into sawdust wrapped in a tortilla. It was so bland. I literally dumped all of the tasteless salsa that came with our chips all over it just to add some flavor. I was very disappointed. I ordered a chimichanga which came with no beans or rice and I also had a Coke. My bill was $ 14.99 just for me, so in my opinion it is completely overpriced for what you get. I don’t know why this place had such good reviews. It’s a shame because I loved everything else about this place. Maybe one day I’ll try it again.

We come here all the time, this has got to be the absolutely the best restaurant in the Beaumont & Banning area!!!
This restaurant has the best Service & Food that you can experience!!!
I am sorry that I can only give 5 Stars because this place deserves a 10 Star Rating…

Oops, the food looked so good I forgot to take a picture. My chile relleno was excellent. My niece’s enchilada was good. The beef in her taco wasn’t that flavorful. But this was a great place to stop on our way back from the Edward Dean Museum where we just went to a great workshop on Victorian and Steampunk costumes getting ready for their festival on December 5. I think I can still get a picture of the flan in.

Never disappointed! Staff is always friendly and does a wonderful job. Love the tacos, salsa and chicken enchiladas (all white meat)…rice is exceptional too!
Love to come here every time I’m in Beaumont!

Great little place. To be honest I only get the burritos. Nothing against their food, I just like burritos. Clean, friendly staff, good food, fast service.
Just keep in mind they keep Cherry Valley hours (Close at 8 pm).

I have been a customer for so many years and I have never had a bad meal or bad service. Their service is on point you never leave hungry & for the girl LUPITA H you know you work at tacos & beer and you don’t know what your talking about your just trying to make el charro look bad !

Totally disapoinet bad food poor service the food is over salted and no flavor i never spend my money in this place again

Very impressed. Service is excellent. Menudo is very good, not to much grease, with hominy and tripe. Tortillas look home made too. Happy belly!

A sign of good Mexican restaurant they serve chips and dip great service and wholesome food

Great place, great food!
Cherry valley lil gem, prices are a lil on the high side but you don’t leave hungry.
Staff is always friendly which is a huge plus!
If you haven’t had El charos food you must try!
My daughter loves their asada nachos.

Went in on a Sunday afternoon. Chili relleno, chicken taco and chicken enchilada are all excellent. The chili in the Relleno was fresh. It was refreshing that the beans were not overly salty and the rice was fluffy and flavorful. Service was great everyone who work there seemed friendly and interested in your experience. There wasn’t the usual «that’s not my table» sort of attitude. Restaurant and restrooms are clean. Will definitely go back! t

This place needs help. Its geared for people who have no taste whatsoever.
The salsa was tasted more of tomatoes than anything else.
I ordered the ultimate burrito with carne asada. The sauce that accompanied the burrito was salty and bland. Gross. This is not «authentic» Mexican food. Its bland, over salted, and made for white people with no taste.
My husband had the two combo plate with a chicken enchilada and shredded beef taco. It was edible, but not the best we have ever had.
Yea, I am calling out all the people that have reviewed this place and have called it «amazing» and «highly recommended». You do not get out of Beaumont much to truly experience great Mexican food do you? I do not live in Beaumont and do not plan on coming back to this establishment EVER.
PS the service was slow, but I really do not rate based on service alone. The food speaks for itself, and it says «I am gross».

All time favorite Mexican place
The people are amazing and the food is to die for! Shrimp fajitas are my all time favorite! I highly recommend!!!

Their food is good but has gone down hill in the last year! Their prices have gone out of control! Ala cart taquitos are $ 5.50 for 3. Really?!! They have started to nickel and dime you; charging $ 1 for a side of onions or a side of sour cream!
They need to realize that’s how you loose customers… Good returning customers!

This place is my grandparents favorite Mexican restaurant, and after dining there, I can see why! The service is excellent and the waiters were all prompt and friendly. The chips and salsa were delicious and the guacamole is to die for! Unlike most places that water it down and add fillers, their guacamole is pure chunky, avocado goodness! The reason I gave them four stars was because my main dish of enchiladas suizas was kind of bland. Everyone else at my table was raving about their dishes, I just feel like I made a bad choice. The enchiladas weren’t bad by any means, just nothing really spectacular; However, I had a delicious flan for dessert that sort of redeemed my dinner. In short, the food was yummy, but the best part of my experience was the service! The staff was wonderful and I would definitely give them another shot to see what else they have to offer (but I probably won’t get enchiladas next time).

I love this place great athentic food. Great service. What I loved the most is to see the manager out on the floor. She even came to my table to see how I was doing.

Service was great. The scenery was comfortable. Their parking is limited — especially on busy dinners, but their food makes up for it.
I absolutely adore their wet burrito and fajitas. Their chips were unlimited and good too. Just so so good. I can’t even deal. Haha.
Mexican food isn’t my favorite food, but wow…
I’m going back and ordering the same thing.
Good job y’all.

People review this place and say that the food is so great but I just don’t see it. It’s good, but not great… you know. Last time I went, there was flies making their rounds here and the staff wasn’t friendly. They were just kinda of there with a bland facial expression. Maybe it was the time I went? I am not sure. I would go again just to try and find something «great», since I haven’t found anything I love yet. But, nothing stood out about the service or the food thus far. Hopefully I can update my review with good news soon.
