Can't remember the menu name but it was chicken, bacon, onions, bell peppers and cheese on a sizzling fajita platter, with beans and rice.
Chips and salsa
Chicken quesadillas is the best I have found out of 5 restaurants! SO worth the wait! We will be back!

The five star reviews were right on! We were in the area for the night looking for a place to have dinner. We decided to give El Charro a try based on the reviews and it did not disappoint!! The best Mexican we've had in a long time. My husband had Pollo Chipotle and I had the authentic Mexican tacos. Both were outstanding!

Moving from CA, I was worried we were never gonna find Mexican food up to my standards. We have tried a couple local places and El Charro is hands down the BEST so far! We will definitely be back. The chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful, the service was friendly and the food came out quickly, and it was all was delicious. I had carnitas and my husband had some sizzling platter loaded with meat, veggies, and melting cheese, both served with beans and rice. The portions were HUGE and the price was VERY reasonable!!!! We were SUPER IMPRESSED!!!!

Some of the best Mexican I've found in the central Kentucky area. Rivals if not better than all the Mexican restaurants in Lexington.

I moved to Harrodsburg from Chicago last summer. Talk about a culture shock. I was used to being able to get fantastic Mexican food on every corner, and Harrodsburg is not known for being a haven for culture variety. We tried another Mexican place in town first and was most definitely not impressed. Then, we tried El Charro, and we are so happy that we found a place so close to home that tastes like, well, home. We have been back once a week for most weeks and have not once been disappointed with our meals. My ONLY complaint is that although they have Horchata, Jamaica, and Tamarindo, they seem to be made from a mix. I would love if they had homemade aguas instead of powdered. Come on guys! Give us our complete experience!

Passing through town on the 127 yard sale and wanted someplace for lunch. Found El Charro here on Yelp. SO awesome! There were 5 of us and everyone loved their meal. All the flavors were spot on, the gentleman who waited on us was friendly, great at making us feel welcome and made it a great time. If we lived near here we'd come more often!

We stopped in El Charro while passing through the area on a day trip. The place was very busy. I'm guessing the Sunday after church crowd was feeling an urge for some Mexican food. My wife ordered the fajita nacho chicken and I had the fajita with steak, chicken and shrimp. Both meals were very well prepared, not overcooked or overly spicy. The salsa that came with the complimentary basket of chips was some of the best we've had in a long time. Service was good, despite being the restaurant being packed. The restaurant itself was roomy and clean and decorated like a typical Mexican restaurant. You won't be disappointed if you're craving some Mexican food and you're in the area. We'll stop again next time we're down that way.
