El Charro

When I got home after ordering take out I saw that both of my tortillas were stale. I ordered 2 things of tortillas and both where vary stale and I couldn't even pull them apart.

This place has incredibly fresh ceviche, especially given the fact that it's in the Midwest, as well as great street tacos. It would probably be best if you knew a regular here as YMMV if they don't know you. Definitely try their ceviche with toasted tortillas. Their tortilla chips are sort of hit or miss as I prefer warm/crisp chips. Come for the ceviche and street tacos!

Great staff and good customer service great food overall a 9/10 for the food I got the burrito special for a snack very filling it was quick as well suggest very highly

Tonight was the first and last time I will go to this restaurant. The building was in bad shape and the overall feeling I had was very dirty. Food was ok. Typical Joplin Mexican food. Not bad, but ok. Nothing special. The real reason I won't ever go back was the man serving. He was a rude jackass. Another customer called him a smart ass and walked out. Terrible customer service. I'll choose another mediocre Joplin Mexican restaurant next time.

Everything a Mexican restaurant should be. Service is very fast. Hugeeee portions. Fresh chips and salsa come out immediately. The guacamole is so fresh, and the best I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. All the food was excellent, but the tongue tacos and fajitas were standout. Very reasonably priced too (in the $7-9 range except for $12 fajitas). Wish I lived closer!

The building is in desperate need of repair on the inside and it is very cramped. They have trouble passing the health inspection. Very disappointing as the other El Charros in the area are very good.

Cheap, good and quick service. Easy to get in and out. The staff is always friendly. Lots of memories here.

we've tried a lot of the restaurants around this area...while we aren't easily disappointed, we aren't easily impressed either. El Charro fills the bill for when we want authentic Mexican food. While the charm is missing, the food doesn't lack anything! from the chips and salsa to the cold brews, we have had amazing meals here. the salsa has great flavor! not to spicy or hot so you can actually appreciate that flavor. the beers are served cold, with a frosted glass to boot. very nice touch.and then! the food comes. fast and on a hot plate! your taste buds are not disappointed. I had a meaty, cheesy combo plate called enchilada verde and my husband had the enchilada plate. both were not lacking and I had to get a 'to go' box because I wasn't going to leave what I wasn't able to finish. (about half). the service is quick and friendly, and they don't speak much english, but it's irrelevant because when you have a smile and good food we always find a way!Can't wait to go back! and I recommend this place to anyone who can look outside the box, and get beyond the expectation of frills of sombreros and rugs on the walls...enjoy the food, the drinks, and each other!

We ate there on February 7, 2020. Food was lousy, restaurant was not too clean, and the server was EXTREMELY rude!! Will never go there again!

Food was excellent. I wasn't very hungry so I ordered ala cart and I still had to take half of it home. The inside is painted a bright blue and yellow. They could use something on the walls but it is a very cheery color. The main thing is the food was good and the place was clean. We enjoy'd listening to the cook in the kitchen sing along with the music. No need to ask for a drink refill. The cups are huge.
