    the interior of the restaurant

    This restaurant is the most amazing Mexican restaurant. It's in the most quaint town of Como, MS but when you go inside you are transported to another country. The service is amazing and food is exceptional! Definitely put this on your list!

    The BEST Mexican food ever! Service was amazing as well. Definitely a place to visit if in the area. We drove 30 mins from home to eat here and we won't hesitate to do it again!

    Very good Mexican food in an area overrun with the restaurants. Attentive staff and fair prices.

    This new Mexican restaurant on the old strip is probably one of my favorite Mexican restaurants of…read moreall time. I've tried several dishes - pollo fundido, street tacos, Verde enchiladas - and they were all good. The birria tacos are my favorite. I don't think they're on the menu, but if you ask for them, they'll bring them. The margaritas are just right. The atmosphere is cool and the service is fantastic. Whether you're local, or just passing through, I highly recommend El Tejocole if you're in the mood for South of the Border flavors.

The the waitress came to take our drink order no smile no greeting, just a smirk, and asks us very quietly to were we can hardly hear her what would we like to drink, she then brings us 2 of our 4 drinks and awhile later she brought the other 2, then we asked for salt, and we order, we noticed the people that arrived after us got thier meal and were almost done before we got 3 of the 4 plates that we ordered, we begged for our utensils that we didn't have, begged again for salt, before it was retrived, almost everyone at our table was done with thier meals before my cold plate of food arrived the cheese was so cold it came out of my chili relano like a white cold tongue I showed it to the other waiter his first response was to defend this cold meal and say the cheese is "fresh" Ok but the cheese is not melted and everything is cold, so I told him to take it, then he asked if I wanted a replacement I said no. This place is awful it was also my son's birthday and my husband asked if they could sing and of course that never happened. I should have left after the chips we rudely put on the table. I also have seen others comment about the rude attitudes from employees at this Restaurant on other reviews for over a year back, so this place has no intentions of creating a better place to eat they just want your money, and obviously dont care about customer service at all. As a buissness owner I will make sure to spread the word about all the wonderful other places that are in our area to eat but this will not be one of them.

    Traveling has been a thing this year! While in Oxford, MS, I went to a totally different…read morerestaurant than El Charro. No judgments but I was headed to the breakfast spot with the initials WH. When I arrived, across the parking, there was El Charro; looking like restaurant you might see in Texas or Mexico. It was packed, it was a no brainer; I'm coming to this place. I lucked up on parking, go in, and head straight to the bar. Bartenders were immediately attentive! Patrons near were nice. I asked for a recommendation, fajitas were among the favorites so let's do it! In my short time sitting several locals chatted with me making this feel like home! Overall with the amount of people there I knew this was the place to be! I liked it so much and raved about it to my family that I had to bring them the very next day! Ambiance is that of a Alamo theme. Decorated with a Mexican theme, this place is beautiful! Attire, it's hot in Mississippi so casual dining it is! Let's get into it! Chicken Fajitas- So Good! Chips and Salsa - Delicious! Combo - Taco and Enchilada - Good! Shrimp and Steak Fajitas- Delicious! Margaritas- YUMMERS!

The bartender white lady was very rude and makes a terrible margarita. Secondly the atmosphere of the place gives nowhere close to the homey feeling I normally get when I step inside to a below average mexican restaurant. I digress, I am giving 3 stars because they were able to keep us fed during the time of natural disaster. Gracias mi amigos
