Carnivore Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Any information about this relatively new restaurant would be great. Type of food, days and hours, pricing......any actual dining experience reports......good, bad or indifferent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubilacion Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Ditto learning about El Charro. We ate dinner last night at Tango Ajijic and took Juarez north back to the carretera when we passed El Charro lit up, it looked very nice. My wife tried to find info on the phone and no facebook, no google info was to be found. Anyone know about this place?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 @Jubilacion.....Are you sure it was El Charro....it's not anywhere near Juarez or the carretera, though it is near Tango. In any case, here's menu. Small menu, pricey; have seen mixed reviews. fyi, they allow smoking on their back patio, which is a deal killer for me.

Jubilacion Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Thanks Bisbee Gal, that menu does look a bit pricey. I'm sure of the location though. We were parked on Calle Colon, above Tango Ajijic, at the Plaza. Going home turned west on Calle Hildalgo and right (north) on Calle Juarez when we passed El Charro. Its on Juarez between Hildago and Zaragozza. Do you think that menu is the same restaurant? Gracias! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econ man Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 El Charro is on Colon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubilacion Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Nope, its on Calle Juarez, just drove by it last night. We were heading up (north) Juarez when we passed it on the right side of the street, Colon is a southbound street. Looks like we'll have to stop by next visit into Ajijic downtown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walk by it daily, it is on Colon, as in the Title of this thread Colon #18. But let me correct that for the OP as it is actually at #16 Colon. There is a large RED lettered #18 sign next door to El Charro on Colon which may have caught the OP's eye...it is an Art Gallery. What you think you saw on Juarez escapes me. From a FB post, Address #16 Colon in Ajijic. Telephone 376 766 1597 Also from a FB page on live music venues, Join Black Sapphire Jazz at EL CHARRO, calle Colón, Dowtown Ajijic. Live music and an incredible menu, in a great place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexbound Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Yep, it's on Colon. Not Juarez. Went Thursday night. Had a great dinner with four people. Good food. Good service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonhill Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 It's definitely on colon. While waiting for my cocktail I walked a few short steps up to the atm at Bancomer. Twelve of us ate their on Wednesday and were very pleased. Yes it's pricey, but the whole experience was worth it. The food was fabulous, try the French onion soup! They open at 3 pm, don't know what time they close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada-Mike Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 That phone number does not seem to be correct. Anyone have another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Di Nero Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 El Charro is plain awful. Don't eat there. It's too pricey, the service spotty and the food burnt. The duck was black and inedible. A supposedly roasted cauliflower salad was raw. The mashed potatoes were from a bag. Wine is mediocre. It was my birthday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 No need to be mean. He was just giving a review. It is obvious that many restaurants here are very good but not always consistent. Depending on who is cooking that night, sometimes they are amazing and sometimes they are not. It can be iffy sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafterbr Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 I appreciate all the restaurant reviews I receive and I am glad people take the time to write them. These reviews have saved me from several costly mistakes I would have made. Thanks Anthony!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people only ever reviewed things when they had positive things to say, that would render reviews pointless. Inconsistency in service and product in a restaurant, or any business, is not acceptable, as you you seem to think it is. If one goes to eat somewhere that was recommended, and get terrible food or bad service, "Oh well, they must have been having a bad day" is not what businesses should rely on as being most people's attitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Mudgirl, I was supporting Anthony Di Nero's honest review. But you missed the already deleted comment by another infamous poster degrading and belittling him for giving his opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, sorry. When a post gets deleted entirely, then responses to it no longer make sense or it seems like they are responding to a post right above it. That's why it's useful to quote at least part of a post that one is responding to, so it's clear who is being addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Yes you are correct. When I am responding to a post a few posts down I will usually quote them first. When I am responding to an immediate post, not so much, and I never anticipate that it will just disappear. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am standing in front of it!! It is on colon just south of the square. I have dined there also and it is the third best beef Wellington on the planet!!!
