El Charro

This was our first time eating here and our waitress didn't seem to speak much English. BUT between her English, my very very very little Spanish, smiles and gestures we communicated nicely. She was very sweet and checked on us several times throughout the dining experience. The food was also absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced for the portion sizes.

So I’m trying to enjoy my meal at work el charro restaurant in schertz with a partner after being in the hospital unable to eat. we’re the only customers there and there’s about 4 of the workers (6 people total in the restaurant) sitting at a table diagonal from us in full view. They’re all speaking to each other in Spanish (which I am a fluent speaker of) disrespecting my partner calling him my father/grandfather etc and just painting a downright nasty narrative even bringing up us being interracial and other disrespectful things harassing us. One of them says : “wait the lady might know Spanish she looks like she does” the other said “oh no I don’t think so” and we see one of the boys and another girl taking pictures the whole time they’re all laughing at us. I could understand them clearly. So we finish our meal and I tell the waitress “we saw 2 of y’all taking pictures of us and we don’t appreciate that. We want the managers number to speak with them” The waitress looked dumbfounded and the other employees are staring at us and the waitress said “oh nonono we weren’t taking pictures!” With a nervous look. I kept telling her we clearly saw the boy and the girl employees look directly at us taking pictures then looking away. She was getting upset. I politely asked for the number of the manager or to speak with them if they were there but she denied and kept trying to argue then said “just call in the morning. Sorry”. Not to mention they brought the wrong food out and it came cold so I had to wait a long time. I love this place and the food; I’ve been eating there forever or ordering takeout. It was my partner’s FIRST time. However this was BEYOND disrespectful talking about someone and their partner trying to enjoy a simple meal and talk about sports and what we wanted for dessert. As we get up to leave she walks back to their table and says in Spanish to the employees “we’re you guys really taking pictures?” The boy says while laughing“well yeah but-“ The waitress says “you were?? Why??” This was very upsetting and disappointing because I liked eating there. They’re not getting my business if they want to harass customers who try to enjoy their time and we’re polite, patient, and tipped nicely when we had horrible service with the wrong and cold food brought out.
