A real disappointment and had we not invited our friends, we would have left. The service and the wait time for the food was unacceptable. We were seated immediately, but did not see our waiter for almost 20 minutes. The bus boy delivered chips and salsa about 6 minutes after we were seated and then returned 5 minutes after to take our drink orders. The waiter finally showed up and we ordered. Our food took over 45 minutes to arrive although the section we were seated was only 50% occupied. Rarely did we see our waiter during the evening and we noticed other customers were also waiting for drinks and food. Although the staff was friendly, there seemed not to be any urgency or concern. Our waiter did apologized for the long wait, but it seemed that this was normal by his casual attitude. We also ordered food to go, which also took a long time. The food was average Mexican food made for an American palate. The tacos lacked flavor and the toppings were basic. No salsas came with the tacos and we had to ask for bottled hot sauce. With all the great Mexican restaurants in the area, I can not recommend El Charro based on poor service, tired, outdated decor and mediocre food.

I haven't visited here in about 20 years. My aunt used to work here in the 90s for a long time so I've been many times. Went last night with a party of 4. Let me tell you! Just like I remember, excellent food, prompt customer service, delicious food, and affordable prices! We made it out for less than $70 which is crazy to me right now. Go El Charro!! KEEP IT UP♡♡

A family favorite for more than 40 years. Every time I am back in town, we try to visit El Charro. Whether it's Taco Tuesday or any other day of the week, come to El Charro and they will take good care of you. The food, service, and prices are always good. Thank you, El Charro!

Went there on a Taco Tuesday. Wasn't expecting much. I ordered two hard tacos and three soft tacos. They were absolutely ginormous and delicious. I would recommend. I thought the chicken tacos were the best. On Tuesdays, they are about $2 each.

Great lunch special and staff here at El Charro. Parked behind in the lot. $9.99 for lunch special plate w two shredded beef hard shell tacos. Really freshly fried tortillas … classic Mexican restaurant in LA style.

Free drink w free refills on the lunch special, along with good chips and salsa. There’s other lunch special options including two enchilada plate, chili relleno, bean and cheese burrito…

Gonna come back here for a dinner and try the chili Verde. Heard good things about the stew!
