The food is good but does not stand out from other Mexican restaurants. The service is quick and friendly. The restaurant is clean with plenty of sitting area and parking. The restaurant tends to be noisy at times. read more

Food was awesome and service too. Way better than El Flaminco in Ville Platte. Price was also good.

Don't like it. Slow service, food is better at EL Flamingo. EL Mazial in Oakdale is my favorite

Food was great. Service was great. Atmosphere is fun. Enjoyed the margaritas and were able to get seated quickly. read more

Very tasty and satisfying ! Our meals were prepared perfectly. Just the right amount of seasoning. My husband and I, along with our son were very pleased with El Charro. The restaurant is so nice and the service was excellent. We already talked about what we are gonna order when we go back, it was so good ! read more

El Charro - Fajitas bravas - Mexican Near Me - Ville Platte, Louisiana

Best god damn food in Louisiana, trust me im a trump supporter but I am against getting rid of Mexicans because we wouldn't have this heaven of a place read more

Stopped here before getting to the hotel next door to pick up chips and salsa and some margaritas. The salsa is not tasty at all and the drinks were the nastiest I have ever had....almost taste like you were drinking cleaning products. Just horrible. Had planned to come back for supper but opted to eat elsewhere. read more

So usually when I come into town I'm always very pleased with El Charro. That's why I'm giving this 3 stars, because my usual service is pretty solid. Unfortunately, last time I visited I ordered steak fajitas and ended up with a plate of barely any steak and a pile of onions & peppers. It took us around 30 minutes to even be able to order our queso and food. Was really disappointed with this trip, but usually I have a reasonable experience. read more

El Charro - a plate of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Ville Platte, Louisiana

This place has the best food in Ville Platte and also the fastest service. Very nice people great place to have a good time

Date Night it's the place to go! I ordered something with no idea of what it would be and was so pleased with the amount of food and variety! I think it was a mole?? something ! I was taking pictures of it before I touched it!! Uh-huh That good!!! read more

This can only be called Mexican food if one has never eaten ACTUAL Mexican food. I normally eat whatever meal I get at a restaurant, regardless of whether it is good or middling. On my one visit here, I ate the bare minimum number of bites to no longer be starving, and left the rest on my plate. Then I left and ordered a pizza. 'Nuff said. read more

Driving through and decided to stop to eat Mexican food. The services was good and ambience was decent. I talked to the waiter and she was telling how they were from Mexico, so I'm thinking, the food is going to be bomb. Unfortunately , the food didn't taste good at all. Not even close to authentic Mexican food. I'm originally from Southern California, my dad comes from a Mexican family, so i know good Mexican food. The tacos weren't even tortillas- they were hard shell tacos with some weird meat inside. The tostada was layered in heavy beans, and cream and become super soggy. The enchilada was made with some weird cheese. This place has potential of becoming a good restaurant if they had a better chef. My verdict- should had fasted. read more

Well it's ok not the best Mexican food tamale was not authentic neither was the fajitas but service was great and so that makes up for it plus food was ok but just not real Mexican. read more

Choosing to dine at a Mexican restaurant In Louisiana was quite a gamble, we Texans thought. But since it was a Monday - when everything else was closed - we decided to risk it. So glad we did!! Hubby and I both ordered Shrimp Fajita Nachos and were wonderfully surprised. Plates piled high with grilled shrimp atop onions, bell peppers and chips arrived sizzling hot. The melted white cheese dripping over this yummy concoction was amazing. It was muy delicioso y sabroso. My only regret was that I could not eat all of it; one order of Shrimp Fajita Nachos was easily enough to feed two hungry gringos. Judging from the crowds, everyone else like this place, too. read more

This place is usually crowded. It is probably the only Mexican restaurant in the area. The food is only fair, the portions are small and the taste only average. I guess the locals don't have much to compare with. Most Mexican restaurant's dishes come with an abundance of refried beans, rice and accessories. This place only minimal. The salsa again only fair. The wait long, and the service longer. I ordered a chile rellano and the portion was very small. The cheese minimal and the overall experience was not great. I will not frequent this establishment again. read more

If I could give zero stars I would! The enchilada sauce taste like hunts spaghetti sauce straight out of the can. The service was awful! And when I brought it to their attention the server had the nerve to argue with me. read more

Good fajitas! Salsa and chips were good too. Very clean place with good service.

I love to go to this establishment, the portions are more than enough, it has prompt service, the staff is friendly, the atmosphere is easy-going, & the prices are very affordable. The food is a bit bland, but being a Cajun that is probably just my point of view, & it is easily remedied with the nice selection of spices they keep at the table. LOL, though, it is more home style Cajun/Mexican....not the flashy Mexican you can get in larger cities. read more

Just left the place a about a hour ago tried it out due to what was said about it. When i made it here it was not to many customers besides the party i was with. The waitress was a bit slow i assume because it was near closing. So we ordered our food it came back pretty quick but which i enjoyed. The only thing that was wrong was the food to me i have had way better mexican food then this place. I ordered a enchilada tamale beans and rice. It was a bit salty and tasteless besides the salt. Usually the chips are hot with the salsa but these were cold and the salsa wasn't even spicy. I'll just say may be the mix up with the food was because they were ready to get off. If I see a better update on the food I might reconsider. read more

Fun atmosphere. I didn't care for my food. The soft tacos had hardly any lettuce and no tomatoes it was just meet and cheese. The fried ice cream was freezer a burnt tasting scoop of ice cream in a flat tostada shell. They did not fry the ice cream just stuck it in a premade fried thing and what little ice cream there was tasted yucky. It was mostly whip cream and almost no ice cream. It was not real fried ice cream. read more

I love el Charro! As of recently I just started going here and have received excellent service from Nikki, Mike, Kelly, and Evan! They have helped me to enjoy my experience at el Charro. I have gotten something different from here every time I go and have no complaints with the food. To the guy below my, this Mexican food never claimed to be "Authentic" you get what you pay for. To readers, I believe sitting on the patio is fun and blissful experience. I was also happy to see that they had Pacifico on tap :) Overall, good food, good people, nice atmosphere. read more
