El Charro

Food still the BestService still AmazingAmbiance still Gotta Love Come on in. Check it out.Thank you El Charros

We were visiting my mom at Trinity Care Center and decided to stop here and get a take out order of their Delicious sampler platter. It had a huge assortment of nachos, quesadilla, taquitos , and a chimichanga. It Also came with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and queso. It was delicious and three of us shared it. There was plenty of food and we all loved it. We will definitely be back!

I've driven pat this spot many times but tonight was my first visit. Was looking for authentic Mexican food so I knew this was the place. Pulling into the lot, I couldn't tell if the windows were tinted or if they were closed, I couldn't see the open sign until I was walking closer to the door.Welcoming atmosphere with quality service! Hooked us up with chips, guac, salsa and queso blanco that is the truth!! Split the molcajete Guadalajara with my wife and couldn't decide if we wanted corn tortillas or flour, but our server suggested the flour so that's what we went with. The flavor was on point and it didn't disappoint!!Yes I recommend this place, and I could tell by the smiles on all the guests inside and on the patio that they would recommend it too!!

El Charro is a decent Mexican restaurant in Farmington. When I visited it was a very busy Friday night and had to wait 45 minutes before being seated. Initially I wasn't sure if I even wanted to stay to eat, as there was heavy cigarette smoke outside the entry doors and that just kind of threw me off a little bit because it gave a "dive" feel to the restaurant and didn't really come off as family friendly. However I waited it out and finally got seated. Once seated I was able to order drinks right away, which when delivered were huge! I didn't realize there were different margarita sizes and was given the largest size which was so huge. For me, I asked if I could have a smaller drink because I didn't realize that there were different sizes (nothing listed and nothing shared by waitress). The waitress was a little frustrated it seemed but she took it back and gave me a smaller size. (I also had to ask for a water because they weren't delivered to our table.) The margarita I found to be quite sour and a little "fake" tasting compared to other margaritas I've had.Upon ordering, I asked for the Fajita Mexicana with chicken and shrimp (additional $2.99) and included bell peppers, onions, rice, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and tortillas. My husband got the Alambre with chicken and with bacon, bell peppers, and onions on a bed of corn tortillas; served with rice, beans, shredded cheese, lettuce, and sour cream. We also asked if we got chips and salsa because nothing was delivered to our table yet and so the waitress came back after our order placement with those. My husband requested an additional side of Queso which was cold when delivered to our table. We had to ask the waitress to warm it because it tasted awful cold and really had limited flavor, even when warmed. When we got our meal I found my shrimp was not thoroughly cooked - still cold in areas and my husband had to pull the Alambre bacon off because that was not cooked either. I found that the overall flavoring - spices and such - was limited. There really wasn't much flavor at all and I found myself having to use quite a bit of salt and pepper, of which I normally don't do. Overall, I thought it was quite pricey and the taste of the food and drink to be a little off. Wasn't my favorite choice for Mexican but was a nice change to try somewhere new and support a locally owned business.

If you like eating garbage...and you have no other choice...it will make a turd. Service is ok....food is terrible.

Service outstanding, authentic (enough) good food.Sitting outside was a little uncomfortable since it was ridden with flies, made eating hard since we had to shoo away flies from our food and bodies. Perhaps they could install some fly traps OR screen the surrounding area?Great staff besides ,

Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. We sat on the patio and enjoyed a beautiful spot in the shade. The service was quick and our waiter was very nice! A lot of food choices and everyone at our table was pleased with their decisions. We will be stopping in again soon!

Not too shabby of a Mexican restaurant for being in a small town in the middle of Minnesota. I usual rate the Mexican restaurants based on their salsa and Carne Asada, and both were pretty good. I mean I took their salsa and dumped it on my dinner. I will definitely be back to give them another go around.

Monster burrito is way too good for that price!! Great service, waiter was fast and polite!

Visit for lunch from out of town, I travel for a living, this place nailed it! Never have I had this good of Latin food in the Midwest! Keep rollin, someday the locals will love ya but not till you hit it big and relocate, they have no idea what hat they have. Even Heinz ketchup is too spicy for them, I'll be back every opportunity! Driving through the town I'd give no stars on their lawns and houses! Mattresses in the yards, not just one house but many. Open somewhere great, you got what it takes!
