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

I went again tonight and had another great experience. A little bit slower as far as ordering and getting our food. But we love the modern vibe and also the food quality and taste. I prefer the round booths in the middle of the restaurant. Even the restrooms are clean with a few amenities. Nice bar with large TVs.

Honestly I think it depends on the margarita flavor! Good prices - a large margarita is 12$ but the food is decent priced as well. The workers are fast and attentive.

Be prepared, to wait a bit for your order, but trust me when I say it is worth it. This place is relatively small, and space is limited. I would suggest getting there early on Sundays, because it fills up quickly. They offer 2 or 3 tables outside on a covered porch so you can enjoy the weather if you'd like. Inside will probably hold 30 people give or take. Kind of condensed if that makes sense You have to ask for salsa and chips, etc. unlike most Mexican joints, so don't forget to ask. They won't just bring it to you. Most of those things are a la carte. You can tell the chips are homemade. Might need to add a bit of salt to the chips. I've been to this place a handful of times. I believe my favorite tacos are the Barbacoa or the Al pastor. (Don't let the word lamb scare you off) They also have several authentic Mexican ingredients, spices, and other grocery items for sell in here as well. Be sure to check those out before leaving.
