Excellent authentic fresh Mexican dishes. The corn tortillas are fresh soft and tasty. The chorizo queso is the best ever!

Great food and even better service! Our family has now went 6-7 times and each time we have top notch service. The owners are very friendly and every time we go the owners came out to ask us if we needed anything and how how we were doing. The owners ever held the door for our family the last several times when we were leaving. We are always amazed at how much they truly care about their restaurant and their customers! We would highly recommend it! read more

I was there Sunday and they charged twice on my debit card. I will not be going back. They ripped me off. The food was not that great either

Have been there many times and rarely am I disappointed. The queso is excellent, the chori pollo is very good and the arroz con pollo is a family favorite. Food is always delivered very quickly, the service is excellent! read more

Disappointed at how this place has declined. Visited on Sunday before the church crowd yet it still took almost an hour and a half for a party of 5. Had to wait forever for refills, got crammed in a long booth that was split into tables on top of each other surrounded by screaming kids. Enchilada sauce was horrible, and the rice was very dry. Toilet would not flush and no soap. Will not go back here again.... read more

Voted Grant County's Greatest: Mexican Restaurant by Chronicle-Tribune 5 years in a row!!! Love this place. The service staff is incredible, the food is delicious, and the prices are INSANELY reasonable. The servers are very friendly and we love giving them BIG TIPS because the food is so cheap! My husband and I will eat lunch there for $15 TOTAL! Easily the best chips and salsa in town (on par with Casa Brava which is their sister location in S. Marion). I love the super tasty authentic Mexican cuisine. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend. You simply MUST try it :) read more

Great food probably my favorite Mexican restaurant love the nachos beef and bean great setting good service

Very authentic Mexican food, best in Marion. All items were fresh and tasty. Not Tex-Mex (I.e. not drowned in cheese sauce). We enjoyed combo beef and chicken fajitas, gourmet burrito, tamales, and "Guadalajara" chicken enchiladas. One of our party wanted the fresh salmon. Waiter first checked kitchen and because "salmon was delivered day before", they would not serve. The sign of a well run business! We started with homemade guacamole, excellent margaritas, and Mexican beers on draught. read more

The food was good. The waiter was nice but service was SOOOOO SLOW!!! Omg...we sat down at 7:36. I know because I texted my husband. We got our foot at 8:38. I really think dude forgot about us. He was bussing a table and then left the table half bussed. 10 minutes later we had food. Then he finished bussing the table. Once we got our food, it was wrong. Sent it back, 3 minutes later we had the correct order. It's 9:07 and we're finally leaving. read more

In town for work from California. My favorite Mexican restaurant to visit. Would highly recommend for any tourist in town. The staff is extremely nice. The food is delicious. They are extremely generous with their drink refills. I would highly recommend their mixed fajitas order. It is a big portion and in addition to that they have the option to double it. This is one of my go to places every time I am in Indiana. read more

great portions and good people! i always get the fajita jalisco double everytime and it is the best around! would recommend stopping in and seeing whatelse they got aswell. perfect chips and salsa and queso! read more

I absolutely love this restaurant, I just moved to Marion not long ago and had to try here because Mexican food is my favorite. You get sat quickly, get drinks and chips/salsa quickly, food comes out quickly too yet still fresh and hot. Price isn't bad for the quantity you're getting. I come here all the time, definitely recommend it read more

I have loved this place since it first came to town. The Burrito fiesta is my favorite item to get. Everything i have ever had has been so good. read more

Great Mexican foods and great service. Prices are fair and the staff are professional and friendly. We really love the Steak Fajitas. They also serve their corn chips warm and the salsa is not too spicy which we like. read more

Delicious food and we eat a LOT of Mexican food. They were very busy and still the staff made it work. Great experience. Salsa was very tasty. Worth the extra drive to eat here. read more

Lots of times these type restaurants are in re-purposed building and well decorated. This place was very nicely decorated. Very clean. Little rooms and sub rooms helped to keep the noise down. The food was excellent. The waitress was very nice and polite and our service was impeccable. read more

Solid small town mexican place. Cool atmosphere inside and nicely decorated. Service is always top-notch. The food itself is solid, nothing crazy over the top to write home about but good price and quality. I've been here twice now and will continue to do so to satisfy the mexican craving while I'm in Marion. read more

Wonderful Mexican food. Ready quickly at a good price. Highly recommend. The fajitas are the best.

Ok. Let me start with I love Mexican food ! But it's sad for me to say I'm only giving one star. I went there with my fiancé yesterday. When we walked in the first thing we smelled was trash. Then we got our table. The waiter brought the chips and salsa. The salsa was very cold almost like ice. He ordered a water and I ordered a sprite. When we got them , instantly we noticed his glass was dirty as you can see in the pictures I posted. He didn't drink his water. After drinking some of my sprite I noticed my glass was VERY DIRTY too. I felt like throwing up. We both ordered the la charade or however you spell it lol. It was edible. But the rice was over cooked. And the retried beans was really sweet. And my fiancé loved tomatoes. I even gave him mine. He's Indian so everything he eats has tomatoes. He didn't even like them ! When the waiter came we told him about the glass cup how dirty. He took them back. After 10 minutes the lady who washes dishes which hardly new any English came with our cups. She wanted us to look at them to make sure they were ok. And my fiancé told her to make sure she cleans them better and she told him to shut up!!!! Oh I got so mad so I stop eating. We waited another 10 minutes for the waiter to give us our ticket we paid for it and left. Never will I ever go there again. read more

BY FAR my favorite restaurant EVER! I LOVE love LOVE all of their food and the fast, friendly service! I would eat here every day if I could afford it! read more

Excellent Tex-Mex food, especially for central Indiana! Wonderful chips and salsa as well as the cheese dip! Everything we've ordered off of the menu is delicious as well. The staff is extremely courteous and attentive, and even when the restaurant is very busy the service never fails. Highly recommended! read more

Good place, good food, excellent service. Always has a good crowd of folks, which should be a good indicator that this is a local fav.

Liked the cozy layout of the restaurant. Didn't feel like everyone else could hear your conversation and vice versa. I order the "pick 3" dinner combo with two hard shell tacos, rice and beans. Very yummy! Preferred the ground beef to the shredded. My husband got the fajita quesadilla (it was big!) and really enjoyed it. Split a strawberry daiquiri that was tasty too! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Always fantastic. Great service and high quality food. They've always accommodated every request even when it is not on their menu. I eat here every time I am in town. Highly recommend. read more

Good food, good atmosphere, price is right. Friendly staff and the bar has enough to keep you satisfied. Will definitely come back on my next travels to the area. read more

I love going to La Charreada. Chips and salsa brought out warm and are irresistible. Drink orders taken and you're not left parched! Now, we made the mistake of ordering a medium margarita--whoops! They should be called jumbo petite! Huge and and they mix 'em right! Anyway, be careful what you wish for! LOL. I ordered a chimichanga with ground beef and all the fixings. Generous and delish. My spouse ordered chimichanga a la carte with shredded beef. Very generous! He took the second one home for lunch the next day. They've remodeled since the last time we were there and it's beautiful. Definitely next time we're craving Mexican food we will be back. Everyone is nice and check on you. Good place in Marion. read more

I can't comment much on anything besides the Arroz con pollo because that's all I get...it's so good! The chips and salsa are great too. It's comparable to Casa Brava, but I think it has a better setup because it is sectioned off and not one big room like Casa. read more

I love La Charreada Mexican Restaurant. Eight times out of 10 we received great food and service. The only critiques I have is that sometimes the restrooms are not attended to and the language barrier can be a hindrance but their food is great. read more

Best Mexican restaurant I have eaten at in a long time. The chicken fajitas were fabulous as was both the hot and mild salsa. The staff was superb with friendliness and service. read more

Great authentic food. Like most places a lil crowded on Sundays but other than that its great all the time. Good background music, clean, and hospitable. read more

Chicken & shrimp fajitas were delicious. The "medium" margarita was huge & poured with the right amount of tequila. I'm from out of town, so it was nice to see it was busy but still didn't have to wait more than a few minutes for a seat on Friday night. read more

Wonderful and flavorful, every thing we ordered tasted great and blended well together. I got the ChoriDip and a chicken soft taco and my fiance got the Poncho Via burrito. Both of us enjoyed our meals, and how flavorful the dishes were. I didn't need salsa on my chicken taco because the chicken was juicy and had great flavor. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Wish I could say this is a great place, but...when the first opened it was great, they spent the money to remodel and what a mistake, they cut the quality of the food. We went back several times to make sure it was just not a oops moment but no it has really changed. This place is FAR from clean, bathrooms are not heated and this is Indiana so very cold in the winter. Food is tasteless boiled chicken with nothing but water in it does not give it flavor. As far as service, the worst ever, maybe one person in the building spoke a word of English, This makes it hard for them to get your order correct and this happens every time we are in there. Tried to order and take home. what a mess, they need a to think about what they are doing before they do it. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Love their chips and salsa. Chimichanga is my favorite meal. Portions are big and I always take home leftovers. Have always had good service. If I want Mexican food, this is the restaurant I go to. read more

One of the best Mexican restaurants in the grant county area. Their queso is fantastic to the point that you could order just a cup of it and a bag of chips and have a fulfilling meal! My personal favorites are the chicken nachos (shredded) and the pancho villa, which is a burrito smothered in their fantastic queso. The staff is friendly and speedy, the restaurant is always clean, and the food is amazing! read more

Great Mexican food, good service, and good atmosphere. Big selection, Huge, and plenty Ogden vegetarian options. Beer/wine available. Come here whenever I'm in town visiting family. read more

I've visited 3 times and would now consider myself a regular. Chips are fresh and salsa is thick. Food seems a little more flavorful than the average Mexican restaurant. I've received good service on every visit. The restaurant is clean including the rest rooms. And one of the best things outside of the product is the floor plan of the dining area. It's divided up in a way you don't feel like you're sitting around a bunch of people you don't know, even though you probably are. Highly recommended. read more

Won't​ be going back. A group of four people arrived before us and they were seated promptly. However, after that group was seated, the hostess​ acknowledged a couple that entered the restaurant after us and completely ignored me and my wife. She talked to the couple as if they were friends and began searching for a table for them. When she finally acknowledged us, she informed us that it would be 3-4 minutes longer because she needed to take care of the couple that came in after us.​ read more

I ate at LaCharreada's this past weekend for the first time in several years, and it was a very pleasant experience. The decor has been updated, and looks great, the food was delicious, and the servers were all courteous, friendly, and helpful. I will definitely be back! read more

I went there last week for the first time in years. The decor was updated and looked very nice. The food was great and the servers were very very friendly. My wife got the Nachos and the portions were huge. Next time we go I believe we are going to split them. But over all I would recommend this place... read more
