  • Came on a quiet Saturday afternoon for a late lunch and high expectations. I had read on this Yelp site that it was better than Maize, that it was hidden treasure, more authentic, etc. I was also told that El Charro was there before Maize, and had been the original staple center for Mexican food in that area prior to Maize moving in. The pictures looked good, the menu looked reasonable, and the reviews made me hopeful that I might find this place a "hidden gem."I was so disappointed. I ordered 3 tacos (barbacoa, carnitas, and steak) and a pork torta with rice and beans, directly comparing them to some of the menu items I had at Maize Grill. First of all, the complimentary chips basket had STALE chips. Maize has really puffy, thick, crunchy chips (albeit oily because they just came out of the fryer), but the chips at El Charro were clearly store bought, cold, and stale (not crunchy at all). Secondly, the taco meat was just...not flavorful at all. It was like eating flavorless mush, and I had to saturate my tacos with hot sauce to make it flavorful or salty at all :( . Finally, the Torta dish came with really dry beans that were all clumped up and not anything like the pictures they have of the rice and beans on this Yelp page (and I LOVE rice and beans because I usually make a bean dip with the leftovers to eat the nachos with). Granted, today could have been a bad day for them, but the beans were just awful, and the torta itself was 50% bread, 30% lettuce, and 20% meat (with the meat itself being, like the tacos, utterly flavorless). Once again, I had to douse everything in sauces to make it taste like anything. Ended up not finishing anything I ordered. On the bright side, the tortillas they used for the tacos were pretty good, and the bread they used for the torta was decent. On the bad side, some things were clearly not fresh, and everything was pretty flavorless. Sorry El Charro, I really wished I could've given you an amazing review, but I really was disappointed. 2 stars because at least it was cheap.
