El Charro

I had a pleasant experience at El Charro. The atmosphere inside was an artist dream. I love the decor inside this restaurant. I enjoyed my chicken, bacon and mushrooms tacos. El Charro has their own take on salsa. El Charro had a completely different kind of salsa then I have ever had before. I recommend trying them out for sure. Also the service was good and they were kind to us.

One of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to in a long long time. Was waiting in the area to meet someone for a car part purchase and decided to stop for some food, and I'm very glad I did. Friendly waiters, absolutely huge selection on the menu, and nice assortment of drinks! Also quite literally some of the best salsa I have ever tasted, and I've had quite a few different kinds! Also very very fast service, I ordered Al Pastor Huaraches, and a Modelo, and both were in front of me by the time I finished my salsa. Decor and music playing were also on point!! Very festive atmosphere and there is even a grocery store on site with many different tasty treats. Got an ice cream on the way out and felt like a happy Burmese python that had devoured a whole deer. I had some trouble trying not to fall asleep on the way back home to Lafayette! 😅😂😁 Awesome place and I'll definitely make another drive to Crawfordsville just to try something else on the menu!!! It's worth every penny spent and every drop of gas it takes to get there!!! Muchas gracias!

What a pleasant surprise it was to find this awesome restaurant in Crawfordsville, Indiana! I grew up in Miami, Florida and there’s Mexican restaurants all over the place. None of them were as good as El Charro’s! First impression from the outside was your typical restaurant in a small downtown setting. When we walked in, it was BAM! Very colorful and unique like I’ve never seen in a restaurant before. The owners really went out of their way and spared no expense on the ambiance. The best part is the food. The menu is extensive and covers almost everything Mexican. We settled on the El Charro fajitas and man they didn’t disappoint! It had chicken, steak and chorizo, along with an equal amount of onions, red, yellow and green bell peppers. Truly delicious! The kicker was when they brought the red and yellow squeeze bottles…like you’d put ketchup and mustard in…only they were filled with some spicy red (hotter) and a yellowish (hot and garlicky) sauces, amazing! Crawfordsville is really lucky to have this authentic, amazing restaurant in their town.

PWent there on Mother's Day. Very clean, staff very friendly. Had a steak burrito that was HUGE!! Very good! Big enough for leftovers for 2 meals. Margaritas were very good also! Service was a little slow that day, but place was packed. Best Mexican food in Crawfordsville!! Definitely will go back!!
