El Charro - Walnut Creek

I had the birria tacos and the plate came out so hot I couldn't even grab them for 10 minutes. They were super soggy and salty. Very disappointed. Also don't expect to have a glass of wine here. They have two options red and white and both come out as cold as the beer. There are much better options in Walnut Creek. Go for a margarita on a hot day in the patio but go somewhere else to eat.

El Charro in name alone, the service was great the atmosphere was wonderful! My carnitas fajitas were great. However, the butter was not the same (very blue cheese) , and the chicken was bland enough that my partner worried she lost her taste. The salsa and guac where amazing. Our waitress was wonderful and treated us very well.

Really fun and lively place! Warm and welcoming too. Food was awesome. And the spicy margarita was delicious. Portion sizes also were really good. Not crazy...like I could have eaten my 2 item combo there, but chose to take some home. My husband had the carnitas and it was a BIG portion. And it was all super tasty. We brought home the cornbread too and it was really tasty.

We had a wonderful time at El Charro! The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We sat in the bar area and the vibe was great. I ordered the Quesabirria tacos, and oh my goodness, they were amazing!! The chips are warm and salsa was on point. Great food, cocktails and service. Can’t wait to come back.

Fantastic restaurant all around. The decor is so fun and inviting, the food and drinks were delicious, and the service was amazing. I had the Cadillac margarita and the mole enchiladas and would recommend both. The mole sauce was very complex and the chicken inside was all white meat and very tender. Everyone else at my table was impressed by their food and drinks as well.We went on a Saturday night and the place was popping! The new owners did a great job reviving a legendary East Bay eatery.
