The food here is good, solid Mexican. The service was very good…read more The patio is the place to sit when the weather is cooperative. Inside is a little dark/cramped. (Restrooms are interesting with two toilets but only one stall in the ladies room. Luckily the main door locks. ) Rice and beans great. Loved the flautas. They made a quesadilla for my kid although it isn't technically on the kids menu. Chips and salsa were not a hit for any of us sadly (but this could just a personal preference thing...) Worth a stop!

We were in the neighborhood and needed some Mexican food to satisfy that craving…read more Great place to pop in for some drinks and good Mexican food.

Solid Mexican food spot. We enjoyed the authentic food, ambience and service were spot on as well…read more We split the fajitas for 2 and the portions were extremely robust. I also tried a cheese enchilada à la carte and it was delicious. I highly recommend this place!

We are in Show Low for a few days to escape the heat down in the greater Phoenix/Scottsdale region…read more My wife and I craved Mexican cuisine so based on Yelp ratings, I picked El Charro Beer. Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed by the hostess and sat in one of their booths. Our server immediately came to our table and took our order. I ordered a chicken enchilada and chicken taco combo and my wife ordered the steak fajitas. Service friendly, attentive, and excellent. Our food was perfectly prepared and delicious. Access seemed to be good and the atmosphere was festive and colorful.

This is so far the best ever! My hubby, and step-dad love it as much as I do. The wait staff are…read morealways kind, even checked on my dad when he went to the men's room. Only thing bad would be the steps to the facilities dad almost fell the are a bit dark. The place is clean, the food is nearly perfect! The portions are huge!!! We try to go as often as possible. So check them out! Ask for the burrito with cream cheese. It's truly a melt in your mouth exp.

No spice to the salsa. A little expensive but isn't everything now days…read more Service was good, friendly and fast.

We are usually a larger group, and sometimes a bit noisy, but they always join in the laughter. We never feel rushed, or neglected. Truly our favorite place on the mountain!

What really makes our visits stand out, though, is the Kiersten. We ask for her every time. She is friendly, attentive, and always on top of everything. She genuinely makes us feel taken care of every time we come in We will always ask for her when we visit because she makes the experience even better. She's a big reason we keep coming back and recommending this place to others

We were highly disappointed with our visit to Licano's. As out-of-towners and vegetarians, we were…read morealready trying to carefully navigate the menu, but the experience was made much harder by inattentive service and a lack of menu knowledge from our server. She repeatedly had to go to the back to ask basic questions, and each time she left, she would get sidetracked helping other tables and take a very long time to return. That made the whole ordering process feel drawn out and frustrating. We were told that the green corn tamale, which is apparently usually meat-free, was made with pork lard. She mentioned it was in the green chili, though it sounded like she may have meant the masa itself was made with lard. Either way, it was disappointing and made the menu feel even more limited. What really stood out in a negative way was being told, "Usually when I have vegetarian customers, they just eat a salad." That did not make us feel welcomed at all. It made us feel like an inconvenience instead of paying customers trying to find something suitable to eat. We ended up sharing a quesadilla with a side of whole beans, and my wife ordered the veggie fajitas, which I had not even noticed on the menu since I only saw protein-based fajita options listed. The food was okay, but only because sautéed vegetables are hard to mess up, and that is essentially what my wife received. Overall, it was not a great experience. Going out to eat should not leave you feeling like a burden to the wait staff. I have worked in customer service for over 30 years, and making guests feel welcome is not that difficult. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here.

The worst mexican food! Taco Bell is better than this! Even their chips and salsa are horrible! I…read moreordered the beef chimichanga... the top appeared to be fried and the bottom was not fully cooked. And to top it off, the beef inside was overcooked, tough and tasteless. The margarita was even tasteless. I had hopes that the fried ice cream (with strawberries) would make up for the poor meal... I was wrong. I had to wait until I got to Tucson to get a decent meal. Skip this place. Next time I'll stop at Taylor Freeze in Pima instead...
