Los Charros Mexican Food — Restaurant in Escondido

The reasoning for the low star review was once we received our check a receipt was not give to us but the waiter came over with a clover card reader and told us the total. My friend paid, but the prices weren’t adding up to the total. My friend had the clover app with our receipt on the app. we got a menu and all the prices of the food and drinks were increased on our bill. I guess if we would have paid in cash it would have been cheaper or because we were looking at an old menu was the excuse of the waitress. There was tiny sign that said prices might change in the front where you would pay for take out order. That should have been mentioned when we were paying. I don’t think it’s right that they don’t print a receipt so you can look at what you ordered. They did refund us 5 dollars and some change.

Transparency would have been nice. The up charge was not worth the price of the food.

This does not reflect the waitress in any way but I am sure it was what the owner trained these waitresses to hide the fact that there was price increases. It seems slimy for company to sneak in charges from in unsuspecting customers.

Food Review- I ordered ceviche which had a good flavor but chewy. My friend order the beef chimichanga. The flavor was good and beans were amazing. My mom and my sister order shrimp fajita. This dish was not served on a steaming plate and was drenched in sauce. They probably could have over looked that if the flavor was good but it...

My parents love this place and I have myself eaten there multiple times but these last few times it has been not the greatest service or food price. I know we have all been affected by inflation but I ordered 2 dishes to go last week and when I was charged I couldn't believe the price! I had eaten there a few weeks before and they had charged the tip before I had even left one. I askedthe server if she had charged the tip and she said the tip is included, and she didn't want to answer if she had already included the tip into the total. I let it slide to avoid any argument. And this last time I got my to go order my receipt wasn't itemized and it was a lot! 50$ for 2 simple dishes. I left no tip. The cashier noticed I kept looking over at the menu prices but I didn't make it into a big deal. I think they purposely add more to the bill so they may claim a tip. Make sure they don't give themselves a tip before they charge you. Some people are very dishonest. If I tip them it will be for a job well done. I will not be returning here again. They need to itemize the bill for...

Let me just start by saying I almost gave today’s experience 5 stars! The only reason I didn’t is because I think the atmosphere could be a bit better. The place is small and with different seasonal decor, it give the room a more congested feel. I think the traditional Mexican decor is great, that it doesn’t need something else abstracting it. In addition to that, I think the servers could be a bit more personable.

In regards to the food - overall it was great! Quite frankly, above and beyond any Mexican food restaurant in town. I order the Camarones a la Diabla. The shrimp were cooked in a well seasoned sauce! The refined beans were very flavorful and the rice was perfectly cooked! Overall, great presentation! The only negative point in the dish was the guacamole which included raw onion. At home we never use raw onion in our guacamole as the onion overpowers the soft and delicate taste of avocados. But overall, great dish!
