Everything I expected from this experience. I was looking for a familiar-feeling "Mexican food" experience in an area I don't frequent, and this place was great. Here with the family for lunch on a not-too-crowded-inside Saturday. Kids menu was slightly more robust than many similar places. I ordered the Fajita Quesadilla off the lunch menu and it was delightful... Wife had steak fajitas and enjoyed. Place was very clean, and the server was polite and friendly, food arrived quickly. Would come again if in the area. read more

Worst Margaritas we've ever had. If you like sugary syrup flavoring and over flowing ice, this place is for you. And dont order the specialty Margie, they will charge you double. Ruined our Valentine's experience! Feb 2026 read more

Ordered dinner with a side of guac. This is the guac. There's no way they'd serve this to me if I were in the restaurant. Just pisses me off that someone would be like "yep, good to go" to this cup of dookie. read more

Charro Restaurant - "Guacamole," or so I'm told. - Mexican Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

This is the Charro I love! Their chips and salsa are so good! Great service and delicious food! We had a less than stellar Cinco de Mayo experience last year so I am so glad that was a one-off. I had the nachos chori carne as my meal and it was delicious and just enough. My daughters had the pollo colores and a quesadilla special. Also delicious. I enjoyed a golden margarita, of course. Parking is plentiful. Everyone is friendly! read more

This is my favorite place to come not exclusively for good Mexican food, but the people who serve here are the best servers you'll find anywhere. It is always clean, the music is upbeat and at a good volume, there are a wide variety of customers, and when the patio is open, it's truly my favorite time. This is the only restaurant I have ever felt okay to come and sit at alone, or with a large group. I have probably eaten here 40 times now, and have never been served inconsistently, now matter who is in working that day. I wish i could comment on margaritas because i know alot of people enjoy those, but as a beer drinker, they have the best draft beers in chesterfield. Not a huge selection, but what they have is served perfect. read more

Best Mexican in Ballwin!!!!!!! The food was so good and came out so quickly! To top it all off the environment was just perfect. The music was at just the right volume and simply enhanced the vibe! I recommend so much!! read more

My brother and I came into town working and found this place close to our hotel. The food and service were fantastic. Been here a few times now and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The servers are polite and amazing. read more

This is my husband and my second favorite Mexican restaurant. It's very close to our house, and the service and food is definitely above par. I almost always order chili rellenos, (some Mexican restaurants call them poblanos. ) My husband is a fan of combination platters. I will say that their deluxe nachos the best I've had at any I've had at any other Mexican restaurants! read more

This is a fantastic spot for a date or a night with the whole family. We were there with our entire family (14 altogether) and it was special. The staff here is one of the best in west county. read more

8-28-20: Went Charro to renew my commitment to small business. Instead of the 32 Oz, I started with a Corona Premier. We ordered our Pollo Cancun and 3-Choice without event. Food is good but our location was terrible. Our table was near trash can. Friends, please observe where you are being seated and ask to be moved. My need for a second cerveza never got attempted because they are busy and I wanted to get away. Will give them another try but I expect the service to be better and hopefully if they read this they'll move the trash can or the table. Adios' for now. read more

This is a great classic Mexican restaurant. Family friendly. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Traditional Mexican restaurant vibes. Don't let presentation of the food fool you. The dishes were excellent. Really enjoyed Al pastor tacos and chimichanga. Had a good margarita too. Will be back! read more

Food:Pretty much like el maguey. Staff is hit or miss on service (experience). Everyone seemed friendly though. Clean, normal strip mall restaurant feel. Everyone agreed the food was nothing to write home about. Nachos/ Chimis/ burritos/ quesadillas. On a good note- I've sworn off eating Mexican because of severe heartburn and had to come along- and it wasn't too bad in that respect. The margs were a little watered down w too much ice but I kinda prefer that for the same reason as above. My son is kind of a foodie and he wasn't smiling- although they forgot his order and he waited a long time for it to finally come when we finally asked about it again. Not too busy on a holiday/ Saturday night. read more

Ordered takeout for family. Just terrible. Steak fajita trey was half full. They didn't put flour tortillas in bag so I just had to eat the steak and veggies. Steak tacos with hardly any filling. read more

Ordered take out and when I got home I realized they forgot something, so I had to drive back to the restaurant. When I finally sat down to eat I saw that they'd given me chicken enchiladas instead of cheese that I ordered. I'm vegetarian. It takes 2 seconds to look at what the customer ordered. So disrespectful. Even if I did eat chicken, this would still not look good at all. Never going back. read more

Charro Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

Great food. Guacamole and salsa some of the best I've ever had. Recommend totally. Will definitely be returning

Ordered 3 a La cart shrimp tacos that were tasteless. It was really warm in the restaurant and felt uncomfortable. Took awhile to get our margaritas and it was not that busy. I won't be back. Also, this was in on a Saturday evening at 5:30pm. read more

Tried this pace a couple weeks ago & it was so disappointing. Expensive, slow service & not very tasty. Not going back again!

Beef tacos & shrimps delicious Service very friendly Ambiance great Always leave pleased read more

My "go to" Mexican place in West County. Lunch specials are fantastic and the service is fast and friendly!

I ordered veggie fajitas and added chicken (I just love the variety of vegetables in veggie only fajitas!) for dinner. There was a good amount of chicken added (charged $2 for the add, which is reasonable!). The fajitas were extremely greasy - moreso than fajitas have been in my experience. My husband ordered a carne asada burrito. He enjoyed the seasoning on the meat a lot. My son got 3/$0.99 tacos and a side of rice and enjoyed them. My daughter ordered the burrito supremo. She didn't love the sauce but ate the whole burrito and enjoyed it. We happened to be there during happy hour and my $2.50 margarita delivered exactly what I expect from a happy hour margarita - lots of ice and margarita mix, low alcohol. Salsa and chips were good - the salsa has a nice flavor. read more

We recently hosted a family dinner for 40 people at Charro and it went wonderfully. We used the party room and were allowed to bring in some party decorations. The room was ready for use at the agreed time. The fajita bar and taco bar were ready on time, and the food was fresh, hot and delicious. We appreciated the attentive but not intrusive service. We all enjoyed the pitchers of Margaritas at each table. It is a family friendly place and our family highly recommends it! read more

My favorite go-to mexican restaurant. The service is always great! The food is hot, fresh, and delish. Order the top shelf margarita. You won't be disappointed! It also has a large outdoor patio. read more

Was there right before they were ready to close order their tacos they're famous for, they gave me two tacos with all kinds of weird stuff on them, peas, orange slice, radishes and a few other things I think they were trying to get rid of stuff they had left over, wasn't very good taco I wouldn't recommend going there when it's getting late, I think it was a joke, was not good! read more

The bar for mexican food in st Louis is set pretty low and this place is a perfect example of that. If you're the kind of person who thinks tacos and enchiladas are best made with flour tortillas, and judge a Mexican restaurant by its "cheese dip," you'll feel right at home. This place would be 1 star in a city with better Mexican restaurants, but that would be unfair because it's fairly represenative of what passes for Mexican food in this town, so 3 stars on the St. Louis Mexican food scale. read more

They are spacious and good service. I think it is one of my favorite salsas. I love the fresh cilantro that add to it. I enjoyed my margarita and queso fundido. I bet it is a great place for Cinco de Mayo. read more

Worst Mexican ever, run!!! I recommend they shut down, start back up, and only sell the white queso,and their salsa...that's it!!!!!! The steak burrito had fake steak..cmonnnnnn!!! #Trash read more

Any time I have been in the area with my family, we like to stop here. The food is good, portions are nice and the servers are excellent. I do not hesitate to recommend Charro to others. Just an FYI, take Alan P's review from 01/13/2017 with a grain of salt. He never ate there. That review was only placed because he got mad at the amount of a tip he got from one of the servers. I have proof of this, since he posted what he did on a pizza delivery driver page on Facebook. I find it pretty petty to downgrade a restaurant over something it had no control over at all. read more

I really wanted to love this restaurant and gave it several tries. Good Margaritas but the food isn't very good (food came out cold). The chips & salsa weren't good - chips tasted like old oil. The the burrito was so greasy - don't think they even drained the ground beef as the plate was full of grease. Needs a good overall cleaning of the tables and chairs - sticky when you sat in booths. Not sure I will ever go back - felt that I wasted my money. read more

Charro is a quick and easy stop for Mexican when you are in a rush or need to get the fam fed quickly! The food is well priced and delicious, but you can tell that they stray from some authentic dishes to appeal to the American-Mexican food that we all know and love! I will definitely be going back soon when my friends/family are grumpy and we need a quick eat! read more

I don't exactly know where to begin..the margaritas are A+ by a long shot & can't believe during happy hour the small are 2.50 12oz. That's got to be the strongest margarita when it's that size, incredible. So the food has to be good right for five stars not just drinks? The food is possible better than the drinks. Amazing dips, the cheese & bean dip, salsa, and fresh chill guacamole dip. The menu has been heavily explored by me alongside my girlfriend so everything has been good here so far I never had Mexican restaurant I liked so much, there are some very good places out there as well. So here we go with that list of the dishes tried. Mexican dinner deluxe comes with a Chimichanga that came out soft but I like them not fully deep fried sometimes. I've had those on occasion they are excellent that way. Poblano pepper, guacamole salad & 2 taquitos to round off this feast. Nachos supreme is really good, it's a huge mound of chips chicken, beef, lettuce sour cream, and guacamole this is almost too much for a appetizer for two and a meal. It is actually, to go boxes every time no matter what the portions are big on all these and the soups up next are a decent size serving. Both the soups I have tried so far were very excellent making me want to get my soup making apron on and do some cooking. They have them mastered this first soup is a traditional dish from Mexico here and when the caldo tlalpeno had mushrooms which I don't like they took them out but still you have the chicken, shrimp, beef sirloin strips, bell pepper, onion, cilantro. This was my favorite because all the meat but just as good was the Caldo de pollo which is a common Latin America soup that often contains chicken, rice, pico de gallo. This is served here with 3 tortillas that I didn't use but she did get fajitas on this occasion so it worked out perfect & the fajitas are excellent as well you cannot go wrong with them one bit. @J93THEWRITER = TWITTER & IG FOLLOW read more

We had a large party tonight & we were all beyond impressed w the food & service. Thank you for making my brother's graduation party a hit. The party room & fajita bar was perfect! read more

We love Charros! Food is always great. Good choices and the service has been above par. Always attentive but not overly so. One of our favorites. read more

The most delicious food I've ever had!!! I ordered Steak fajitas and they were Fresh!! Amazing service!! Will be back!!

The lunch specials here are fantastic. For only a few dollars more than Taco Bell you get freshly made chips and salsa delivered to your table, real flatware, fresh ingredients (read: no mystery meat here) and unlimited drink refills. What's not to love? The restaurant is always extremely clean and the service is pleasant and attentive. Portions are the perfect size for lunch. I ordered the spinach quesadilla and my mom opted for a combination plate--can't remember what selections she chose, but she seemed happy with it. I'm not sure if the spinach quesadilla is offered on the dinner menu, it will definitely be a go-to when I return for lunch. read more

Best Mexican food I've ever had!!!!! 10/10. Burrito San Jose is to die for‍‍‍ service 10/10 very friendly staff

The Margaritas, chips, salsa, and queso are awesome. Something is off with the chicken in the nachos and enchiladas- it's too tough, overcooked. The shrimp tacos are great. All in all, this is a great restaurant to have in the neighborhood but I would not go out of my way for it. read more

I wasn't going to even bother to review this place, but I decided I had too. We came for a coworkers birthday lunch a while back. It wasn't crowded at all so we had the whole patio to ourselves. The food and margaritas were good and our lunch server was fantastic. The problem came later when we were trying to pay and leave. Our original server had left and the two servers that took over were rude and inconsiderate towards us. We had ordered a lot of food and drinks and certainly did not deserve the utterly rude treatment we were met with. The patio had several other lively tables by the time we left and we were no louder than the rest. I was appalled and even complained to a third server that came out to clear our table. She was also very rude. I will definitely not be back if this is how they treat people. read more

We have been going to Charros for years and while they are not known for speedy service, we have enjoyed the food and close location. Friday night, I ordered a pork burrito and what I received was a tortilla stuffed with onions, peppers and pork fat. I flagged down the manager who was racing by only because our waiter was never to be seen again. He quickly scooped up my food and took it back to the kitchen. Meanwhile I sat and waited and watched my husband eat his meal. Neither the waiter or manager checked back with me to offer a new meal. About 15 minutes later, the manager brought the bill and said he took the burrito off the bill. I walked out hungry and upset that as long standing patron of this restaurant for the poor service. You just lost a customer Charro! read more

Won't be coming back! The food quality isn't what you might be used to and the service is poor. They also charge for every little thing which I wouldn't mind paying for if the quality wasn't an issue. read more

Wonderful food! A little more refined or fancy than other local Mexican restaurants, but reasonable prices for the delicious, authentic, fresh food and nice ambiance and service experience to match. Highly recommend the horchata--it tastes freshly-made, the spices are just right! Enchiladas were also a hit tonight. Plus, they have very easy online ordering for takeout. We'll be coming back, especially when we have guests! read more
