Customer Reviews

Pleasant experience here. Highly recommend. I had a small taco salad with no lettuce. It was fresh. Made to order. The shell was crunchy and yummy. Everyone is welcoming to the guests.

Food was fresh, hot and tasty. Staff was good and readily available for refills and ordering. Lunch portion size could have been better BUT it was lunch specials, so ... Recommend by local business, I was in town for work. Would visit again.

Favorite location. Better than the one by Zaxbys. Shrimp are always more fresh tasting and not overcooked. Fajitas are always 10/10 Love the guacamole recipe Queso always warm Sometimes service tends to be slow, but that can depend on how busy they are This location is my favorite within the Cov/conyers area

I had a stop over in Covington, and after a zealous local recommended me this place with passion, I went to try it. Service was great, place looked very decent and the crowd chilled. The chips and salsa were really on point, this happens to be my litmus test for any mexican restaurant. You got the salsa and chips right - we are talking. I ordered Chicken dish and it came out perfectly - not too soggy, not too burnt, just the right amount of roast! I am visiting this place again on my next trip.

I love El Charro, I've gone to this location and the newer one off of Martin Luther King. Plenty of times. The food is always good. The service is amazing. And the people are really nice. This is an older location, it's almost always ready to go, the newer location off of Martin Luther King can get super busy because of that road. I prefer this one because it's a little bit more laid-back. It's in the shopping center with Ross. So it's easy to get out of.
