This is one of our favorite "local" places to eat, especially their "Taco Tuesday". Specifically the "spicy chicken" tacos which are awesome! For $4 you get 3 tacos & either beans or rice. They use their own recipes & their food is prepared fresh. Service is always fast & friendly. Even thought it's not "fast food", they get it out to you in a hurry. The menu is quite extensive too. Try it, you'll love it!

My wife and I visit El Charro regularly. The food has always been awesome and the service is great. A few times we have been there the owner came out and greeted us. He took the time to visit with us-it made us feel very welcomed. I love their red chile it is awesome-my wife loves the green chile. Their salsa is also very good.

I ordered a combination that had beef burrito, cheese enchilada , Spanish rice and refried beans, The refried beans had an awful taste as if they were refried in rancid hamburger lard. The Spanish rice was flooded with pepper and cumin. The burrito was supposed to be beef but it had mostly beans. My wife had guacamole tostada, hard shell beef taco and bean burrito. I liked my wife's tostada and she liked the it and the beef taco. She also had problems with the rice and beans used in the meal. The salsa was awesome and the chips that came with it were crunchy and they had the right amount of salt. The green chili looked liked white gravy lacking the green chile and tasted like it was made with jalapeño powder.

Advertises itself as the best Mexican in town. It wan't bad, it was just "OK".. Ate there because parking was convenient. Probably should have tried another place. Don't sit in booths next to windows or you will spend your dinner time shooing away flies.

Came for dinner tonight and it was as good as ever. We come here during our summer stay and we weren't disappointed. I really like the roasted style salsa. I ordered the Vegetarian Combo Plate with Chile Relleno with green chili, Cheese Enchilada and Guacamole Tostada. It was very good but I was disappointed that they didn't use homemade guacamole but used the stuff in the pouch. Hubby said his combo of Beef Enchilada, Cheese Enchilada and Taco was very good. We also had a sopapilla with honey for dessert. We will be back next summer.

The decor is delightful and nostalgic, with Naugahyde booths embroidered with the restaurant's name and a strangely relaxing just south of the border motif. The price of the food is not over the top, however, I would not consider it cheap eats either. The plates are very large in portion size and the menu has a great variety of traditional favorites that you may need to take to go. This is a great place for families in the day and fun with friends in the evening. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable on how to describe entrees that may be less familiar to us travelin' folk. I would eat there again.

One of the best things about visiting the area is the food. Restaurant has nice atmosphere. Clean with plenty of seating space. Server was friendly. Chips and salsa provided. Salsa was good with a kick. Had tamale and rellano with Christmas chile. You can choose mild, medium or hot chile. I had medium. Yum! Just the right spiciness. Served with refried bean and Spanish rice. Prices were average , well worth it.

On our first night in Alamosa we decided to opt for a known entity, in this case Chili's. Having dined in several Chili's across the U.S., we knew what to expect. The food was well-prepared and the service acceptable. Chili's can tend to get very busy, which may result in a wait, but that was not the case here despite the crowd. The garden salad with chicken was very good. The fajitas (in this case chicken) are always a good bet and a very good value.

This restaurant has a Mexican buffet that was great. Many selections, all fresh & delicious. They make their corn/ flour tortillas fresh to order. Beans & rice were excellent. Many meat selections as well as salad & dessert bars. Had very reasonably priced margarita specials served in generous portions.
