We love El Charro, the food and the service is great. We started going when we lived closer to the restaurant and even after moving over to Guernville Rd, we still go there as often as we are in that area.

My wife and I go here for lunch regularly, and are always very satisfied with the food quality and gracious service. I'm not sure what the unsatisfied people are talking about, unless they're ex-employees, because they don't seem to be describing the same place.
