In Short
For a large restaurant, El Charro remains cozy while maintaining a festive air. The walls are adorned with murals of the Mexican countryside, and the wait staff is friendly and quick, leaving barely enough time to finish the complimentary basket of warm tortilla chips and salsa before bringing the main course. Soft-shell tacos are a signature, tostadas, enchiladas, burritos, and tamales are also on the menu, and the fried ice cream is a dessert favorite.

Their mexican soft shell tacos are the best I have had thus far in Michigan. I have been to many mexican restaurants, and none compare to it. Their enchiladas have a gravy sauce instead of the typical red sauce, that is unique. You can also buy their chips and salsa and make your own bean & cheese nachos. Enjoy!

This used to be a favorite of mine. NOT ANYMORE! I think something was changed in the way the food is prepared...it just dosen't taste the same. The crunchy taco shells have a funny taste now. The chips seem too thin and have a smell, like preservatives or something. I used to take all my out of town friends here in the past. I honestly cannot recommend it now. I actually drive over to Shelby Twp. now, or head down to Mexicantown for better tasting food.

I love the soft shells...can't get anything like them anywhere else I have been. The margarita swirl is awesome. I prefer the Fraser location, every time I go to the St Clair Shores location they screw up my order or don't give me utensils or something like that! Of course, like everything the price is going up and the portions size down. And I agree with the other comment that the "nachos" that come with a dinner are a joke. 4 chips with a sprinkle of cheese? Nachos? Not.
