Fiesta Charra

I knew I should have went to La Piñata. This place is the pits! Horrible customer service. The waiters kept bringing the wrong plates to our table, just very disorganized. Our waiter was a total grouch, didn’t crack one smile or even try to be friendly. I ordered the Charra Taco Salad and it was horrible. The lettuce was slimy and sour and the dish itself was very small and bland. Will never go back!

Love the steak and cheese burrito. The guacamole is pretty good. Would like to
See more avocado in it. Delivery is a huge plus.

This was my first week back in the office after the most relaxing vacation and with the beach and daquiri in mind I chose Charra as my stop to relax and get a daquiri. I was excited for the pitcher. Do not get the pitcher unless your plan is to be obliterated by the first sip. I couldn’t take a drink without holding it in my mouth for ten seconds, contemplating spitting it out and wanting to swallow it so I could get drunk enough to drink it and not care about the 16 $ purchase for a bottle of crappy tequila, basically.
This is my 4^th time being dissatisfied with Charra and I downloaded Unilocal to finally leave my review. Do not ever order on the phone with charra and expect to have delivery service available and do not expect to get what you ordered!!! The servers are definitely biased towards age and service at Charra and the fact that I am under 25 always implies I am a bad tipper, so why serve me? I was a server for 4 years and am now a manager for a corporation with enough money and a good attitude to deserve your attention and at least a refill of water to wash down the awful taste.
One star for being the best of our pitiful Mexican restaurants in Oxford, one star for the food and aesthetics being always clean, and one star for giving me insight to go to get intoxicated after my next break up or failure.

Just had the worst lunch ever! Used to be our favorite Mexican restaurant in Oxford, but today’s lunch and the LONG BLACK HAIR caked in our cheese dip (that we didn’t find until the end of the meal!) made our stomachs turn. To make matters worse, both the server and manager were very rude and were incredibly reluctant to take the dip off of our bill. They even tried to say the hair was ours, and neither of us have long black hair! Yuck. I am very grossed out. We will never go back.

Took 8 people here after graduation this weekend. Great frozen margaritas! The food was pretty tasty and the service was ok. There aren’t a lot of options in Oxford, but this was pretty good.

I have to say that I normally don’t leave reviews but after my lunch experience today I decided to express my thoughts. There was a hair in our queso sauce and my friend called the waiter over. They blamed us and said that all of their workers had short hair and it was our problem. They were very rude and could have expressed better customer service. I will never eat there again. Terrible service… I mean absolutely rude. The situation could have and should have been resolved differently. No Fiesta Hairy for me thank you.

A great place. The food is good and plentiful. The servers are attentive and friendly. The prices are very family friendly. Since opening they’ve expanded to two or three times the size of the original. What more need be said?

I came here with my son for dinner. He ordered the fajita burrito and I had the enchilada combo with rice and black beans.
While waiting for the food, we had the Chios and salsa they give everyone. The chips were warm and the salsa, with the addition if the habanero sauce made it a good start.
The burrito and enchiladas were good. The service was prompt and food comes out very quickly.
For those that need to split the check, I saw it was not a big deal here. Plus it is cheap
For me, it was a 3.5.

I’ve been to Fiesta Charra a couple of times and the food has always been great with quick service and staff is always friendly! I definitely recommend going if you are in the mood for some good Mexican food.

Salsa is amazing as someone who can not tolerate chubky. Authentic (run by people of the nationality that the food produces nothing more or less) and puts Chipotle to shame!

The food was 3.5÷5. The chips and salsa were not the best out of all Mexican restaurants. However the margaritas were great and only cost us $ 1.99 before 9pm on a Tuesday! Good atmosphere, typical Mexican restaurant.

Fantastic spicy, cilantro, onion, garlic, jalapeño and tomato salsa. Servings are generous and yummy. This flavor really reminds me of Southern California Mexican cuisine. Wait staff is friendly and polite. I ordered a la carte– a side of refried beans, rice, and a crispy beef taco. With the complimentary chips and salsa and a bottled Bohemia beer served in a frosty mug with a salted rim and a lime, I was beyond stuffed! I forgot to ask, but I wonder if they sell their salsa. If you are not a fan of spicy salsa, be sure to ask for a milder option. Next time we are in town, this will definitely be on the list to visit!

Overrated to be sure IMHO. This place is a cash cow, and a «safe» place for locals, students, and their parents to try «exotic» food. I’m not sure it’d be as popular w/​o a liquor license lol. Chips passable, but most of the food is not to my liking and all kind of tastes the same. But like the other Mexican restaurants in the area, it’s geared for a midwestern palate. And god bless them for it. But it’s not for me and I wouldn’t recommend it for any reason. Go to Hamilton and go to the taqueria on Dixie Highway. Make your own margs at home. Salsa isn’t that complicated, message me for a recipe…

Maybe it was just a bad day. The service was slow and spotty. Silverware came 5 minutes after food. The chicken was tough and not at all flavored. I would consider the menu to be your typical Mexican restaurant options.

Chips and salsa abound– and the chips are really good!
I had the taquitos, two chicken and two beef for $ 8 with guac and sour cream. The chicken ones were better, but they were really good!
The menu is extensive and really overwhelming– but the people I was with said that everything is really good.

Mmmm… Fiesta Charra brings back so many good college memories… including the moment I fell in love with enchiladas! This place is great. As other reviewers have stated, it’s not going to live up to Texas or California Mexican food probably, but it is damn good. My husband is a salsa connoisseur and he LOVES the salsa here (as do I!).
The service is fast and friendly, and the food is outstanding! I still long for Fiesta Charra all these years later! And for what it’s worth… I think it’s WAY better than El Burrito Loco!

We went here for a «birthday» dinner (in parenthesis because my wife makes amazing homemade Italian for my real b-​day dinner, but this was on my actual birthday so we’ll count it).
We went in not expecting too much. My in-​laws are in TX and when it comes to my wife, you’re working against many many years of consuming south-​Texas Mexican food. It didn’t take me long to hop on that bandwagon, either. That said, Fiesta Charra is good. Not great, but come on! You have to know what you’re getting yourself in to when going out for Mexican in Ohio.
As one of the other reviews noted, the shrimp here is surprisingly tasty. I had a quesedilla. My wife had bean and cheese enchiladas (I think, anyway — that’s what she always gets). We were full and satisfied.
Best part — I got one of the giant 46oz margaritas (it WAS my birthday, after all). It was delicious, strong and cost more than either meal!
We’ll be back.

A fun fact about Oxford: since this is a college town, everything here is cheaper except the alcohol.
They recently moved locations because they wanted a liquor license and since Oxford has so many licenses, the license had to be tied down to the location — something like that. It’s incredibly stupid why they moved, but the new location is really decadent — perhaps the best atmosphere for Mexican food in all of Butler County. They’ve got murals and Mexican columns, giving it an authentic look.
The food here is, as I alluded to, inexpensive. It’s cheaper than Mexican food back home in Akron, at least. Cheap does not equal bad here. The food, ever since a Mexican immigrant bought the place a few years ago (as I was told by somebody who worked there), has become substantially better. Hannah P. is right about the place being packed nightly with hungry students, but I respectfully disagree with her on the quality of the food. I ordered chimichangas, and asked the cooks to make it «extra hot». They did so, and it tasted delicious — much better than I would expect Mexican food in a college town to taste. The quality of the food was as good as my favorite Mexican restaurant back home, which really took me by surprise.
I am glad I decided to come Uptown to check out Fiesta Charra. This gave me hope that there can actually be decent food options in small college towns such as Oxford.

Fiesta Charra is your average Mexican restaurant. Definitely not authentic. We used to come here a lot for their Margaritas, which are pretty good. The service was hit or miss depending on the day. One of the good things is that your food comes out really fast, and they give you chips and salsa while you wait.
