El Charro of Iola

This is our place to go, good food, great servers and affordable prices, best Mexican Food in the area!

Was in Iola for the weekend, and was told that this was the best Mexican restaurant in town. I would describe the food as Tex-mex, not exactly authentic. Still very delicious however!

I grew up in the area so its always nice to visit restaurants that I have been around for awhile. I have never been disappointed by any visit here over the years. The service is always nice, very quick, and efficient. I am easy to please especially when you can make sure delicious Mexican food makes it to my mouth as quickly as possible. I'm not crazy, you're crazy! Regardless, I am always forcing more food than my body can handle because I just can't stop the goodness. Another selling point is the fact that you get a lot of food for a really decent price.

Salsa tastes like old marinara sauce with Mexican spices. Food was out less than 4 minutes after we ordered but that's not a good thing. Chicken was still clumped together from being reheated in a bag and on a steam table. Shredded beef in taquitos was over cooked and tasted sweet. The best part was the nice server and the guacamole.

I've been here 3-4 times. Salsa is thicker than most and has great flavor. Their lunch chicken fajitas came with a really good sized portion and great flavor. It came with beans, rice, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce and pico de gallo. It's a clean place with a vaquero theme. Good service and prices.

Love everything about this restaurant. Great food, good staff, clean environment. I've eaten here more times than I can count.

A few years' back this was a pretty good Mexican Restaurant. I recently (December 2015) was home for the holidays and had visited twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. PLEASE, whoever owns this restaurant downsize the menu and perfect the dishes. I really want this place to be good considering it is one of a few restaurants in town. The salsa was like ketchup, the enchilada sauce was something close to spaghetti sauce, the taquitos were a fried mess, guacamole?, and the chicken on the nacho robles, that should have been pollo asada was just.... chicken. PLEASE, downsize your menu and improve the quality.Staff was nice and accommodating but I would not return for that. I would go even it the service lacked if they had good food.

My husband and I went to El janador in iola Kansas yesterday and we both ordered the same thing are the mushrooms contained we both got food poisoning I'm going to have to go to the Dr today or hospital

When you go in there i guarantee you there will always be someone vacuuming, but funny enough the place will NEVER look clean. Foods good though.

My friends and I went and ate here. Staff was nice. Food was okay. But we paid and then next day the charge went up $10 because, the store put a $10 tip on our ticket, we went in to see about this and the manager had a whole attitude with us. Not impressed!!!!!
