The wait staff is good except for one person. I don't know her name but she's heavy set and usually has a red face with acne and is in a terrible mood. We're surprised she's worked there this long. If I owned the place I would fire her, she has no manners, no sense of urgency, no sense of humor and is generally unpleasant. She must work for fun because I'm sure she doesn't make much in tips. If we know she's working we avoid the place and drive to Bismarck to eat breakfast. What a bummer can't even go into the only breakfast joint in town because such a miserable person ruins the whole restaurant. Another postive about this place is the older gal with a few tattoos on her arms, what a gem. This woman doesn't seem like she would be friendly but she's the best, sweetest, attentive waitress they have. We really enjoy having her help us out, we really enjoy the restaurant and it's a bummer because quite a few people around town say the same thing about the one bad apple.

This may be the most unusual Yelp review you'll read, but stick with me…read more On my first trip to North Dakota, I asked a local, "What's quintessentially North Dakota?" After a long pause, he said, "We have some really good Mexican restaurants." I nearly laughed. Bismarck is over 1,500 miles from the Mexican border! I politely ignored his advice. A couple of days later, after visiting Fort Mandan and driving through some of the state's wide-open, snow-covered countryside, I was starving. After striking out at a couple of restaurants, that local's words came back to me: "We have some really good Mexican restaurants here." A few minutes later, I found Charras, and the parking lot was packed. On a Thursday night, there was already a 20-30 minute wait. That's usually a good sign. From the moment I sat down, the service was outstanding. Chips, salsa, water, and my drink arrived almost instantly, and my waiter had an uncanny knack for showing up exactly when I needed him without ever hovering. I ordered the Camarones a la Diablo with Spanish rice and avocado. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, coated in a rich, buttery pepper sauce with just the right amount of heat. The rice soaked up every bit of that incredible sauce, while the avocado provided the perfect cool contrast. The portion was generous, and every bite was excellent. The moral of the story? Never underestimate the locals. They live there, and they know where the good food is. Thank you, Team Charras, for changing my mind. I may not have planned on returning to North Dakota anytime soon, but thanks to your food--and that unforgettable buttery sauce--I'll happily come back for another visit.
