For my first time trying this place, it was great! I really enjoyed the food, drinks, service and atmosphere. The employees are very welcoming and attentive. I like the quality and portion of the dishes ordered. The drinks tasted great too. The pricing is not toobad, It’s actually very similar to most restaurants. Definitely will like to come back here again!

We loved this place after a long day of travel! My taco salad was SO good highly recommend the beef. The margarita selection was excellent, I loved my frozen strawberry marg! We sat outside and the atmosphere was so fun, and I loved how chill it was. Our server was so nice too. Would definitely go back here!

Good food. Great service. Attentive staff. Best server - young man Ramon. Attentive, efficient, communicative personable, engaging. Returned numerous times to check on our table. We need more servers like this young kid.

Restaurant is absolutely beautiful! The food was great and my spicy margarita hit the spot. Wonderful place to celebrate our daughter and enjoy delicious Mexican food before we had back to another state out east. Highly recommend!

Huge old fashion style Mexican restaurant. Tons of space and a “full bar.” I love sampling so of course we got the margarita flight. My husband and I shared but they are really small with ice so 2-3 sips and that’s it. They were good though. The chilaquiles could have had more sauce and a bit more flavor but they were good.
Gotta love the chips and salsa! They have a Sunday brunch buffet too!

“Work to live or live to work?” It’s an important question, is it not? No matter which side of the isle you inhabit on this issue, I think that we can all agree that while working it’s always best to work with good people. People that you can trust. A group of professionals who make you better and stretch you (especially if you’re in a leadership position). I mean, how can you truly lead without listening to the diverse viewpoints and recommendations of others? Well if you’re blessed to work alongside terrific colleagues like I am, and you have an opportunity to grab a meal together, then I’d suggest that you consider breaking bread with them at Cocina Del Charro. The food is good, the service is attentive, and they offer multiple dining room options at the San Marcos location to accommodate large or small gatherings that are conducive to work or private discussions. An added bonus is the support of a local business that is anchored within your community. 👍

Our Review Team did have one suggestion. @cocinadelcharro how about adding a Mariachi band to perform on that beautiful balcony of yours? And that’s…Henry’s Take. @henrystake

Scrumptious food, great service, and nice atmosphere. They served flour tortilla chips with the guacamole. So yummy! The chef cooked my Carne asada perfectly rare per my request. I'd happily return.
