El Charro

"Everything was great! We had a group of 10 eating dinner. Very accommodating for seating, plenty of servers to take care of us - all with friendly smiles....and the food was perfect - served hot and correct orders. Definitely will be back."

"I want to be very clear from the beginning that my server was amazing and attentive and has NOTHING to do with this review. This review is specifically for the food! The enchilada was made with a preservative style Fiesta blend. A.k.a already bagged cheddar cheese with monterrey blend. This is NOT what one is to expect at a Mexican restaurant. This can be made at home for way way cheaper! The beans tasted like canned beans with maybe some salsa added to them. And the ground beef in my taco was flavorless and dry as it could be! Again, this can be made at home for way less! The salsa tasted like canned tomato sauce with seeds from a pepper thrown in. Also, can be made at home for way less. The point of eating out is to get an experience you can't get at home. This was not my experience AT ALL! I travel a lot for work. I grew up, practically lived, off eating El Charro in Joplin Missouri. I still to this day randomly wake up craving their beans. They are 100% made fresh daily. I just had it last week and it was amazing! They also still use fresh shredded white cheese. It's so unique and so delicious! It's makes at least 75% of their food what it is, which is absolutely the best and most amazing around! Yes, there's more prep work involved, I understand it costs more for labor. If you have to, increase the price of every meal a $1. But don't do what you're doing now! My husband and I ate at the Carthage El Charro 2-3 weeks ago and it wasn't even edible. So I will give you that yours was edible. But that's all it was. There was NOTHING SPECIAL about your food. You need to bring the "special and uniqueness " back to your food. I highly recommend sending the one's who run the Joplin El Charro around to train your staff. The point of a franchise is to be consistent in quality and taste. So no matter where someone goes, they know their getting the same, great food the Joplin location offers. It is honestly a disservice to the people who live in these other towns, including Fort Scott, that have never tasted the REAL El Charro! I guarantee you will get more business if you do this! I am not saying this to bash anyone, but to inform you. I really believe it will make a difference in the business you get! I will try again in 6 months or so, if it's changed I will edit my review."

"Authentic Mexican Food! The atmosphere is awesome. Highly recommended for a family environment or a sport's team meal. Although we were 24 People, EVERYONE was eating about 20 minutes after ordering. Lovely. El Charro is one of the restaurants that you'd love to have close home."

"Very friendly and comfortable Mexican restaurant. The menu has a very good selection of items and the prices are reasonable. I've tried several different dishes and they have all been good with generous portions. The staff is quite friendly and knowledgeable about the menu selections. Plenty of free parking with handicap accessible parking, entrances and restrooms."
