El Charro Mexican Restaurant Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Hillsboro

This place sucks save your money. The food is bland. They pinch penny at your expense. I went there with 3 friends we each got something different. I got Beef Fajitas my friends got the Tortilla soup, Enchiladas, and Quesadillas.

We each tried one another food after the shock of how bad each was starting with my beef fajitas or maybe I should single that down to fajita. Because they give you plenty of flavorless un seasoned meat and some tasteless and bland sides ( rice beans quack and pico)but for some reason only 2 tortillas. When we asked for more we received 2 more later on the bill we found out the "extra" they charged us for was 1.25 per a tortilla so if you want more for your beef fajitas be prepared to pay a whopping 2.50 per a ask.

Enchiladas same as the beef fajitas on a flavor basis but imagine it much more greasy as if they didnt try draining the meat grease before stuffing the meat inside. Sides were also you guessed it tasteless only redeeming factor was the sauce but subpar at best.

Tortilla soup is watered down chicken soup with for some reason broccoli and cauliflower. The soup was average at best and not nearly worth the visit. I'm not sure what more to say about it as it was basically just chicken broth with chicken and other normally tomato soup items mixed in.

Quesadillas im not sure if they just left this in too long but it was like the tortilla was left out before they made it very chalky and the cheese not stretchy but hardened reminds me of when we all tried to make it at home in a microwave with processed cheese and some old tortillas from burrito night 3 months ago. The beef inside was good but yet again un seasoned btw.

I'm not going back! they store their wine in a freezer or something. The dr pepper taste like its been left open and my sweet tea wouldn't surprise me if it was 2 weeks old from the...

Our experience was just fine until our actual server began tending to us. While taking our order, she began with my friends son who first ordered 6 tortillas then an order of chicken nuggets. Without writing down that order of chicken nuggets, she looked to me and asked for my order. After giving her the number of my order, I asked which tortilla (between corn and flour) she recommended & she just shrugged her shoulders with no care at all as if she was just annoyed and bothered that I was asking such a general question. Then, when the rest of my party was done ordering, I double checked with her that she had gotten my friend's son order of chicken nuggets. She nodded her head and said that it's a small order and that that was only for kids. I informed her that that was what he ordered and asked her if there was anything she could do to accommodate him. Once again, she nodded. I then informed her that if she needed to make it an upcharge, that was fine but he needed his meal as well as the rest of us. She hesitantly responded that he could get his order but she would need to add $1 to it. I told her that was absolutely fine. That interaction was done. Then, she brought everyone's food out. The entire party's food was good all except for his. His nuggets might have as well been called fried breading. On top of that, he simply had water and never once was he offered a refill on his drink. The rest of us were offered ours on time. Anyhow, her name was Mirella and she was horrible. The chip serving lady was very sweet though. And, just a note, besides for his simple order of chicken nuggets, (that he was originally being denied) everything else was good. The 1 star is simply towards her service. I'd give her 0 but, unfortunately, that's...

Let me start with the good since that is a short list.

My server was friendly and polite and took care of my order quickly. She did say something so ridiculously obvious that it left me shaking my head (she said the small was slightly bigger than the extra small queso...well duh). The atmosphere was fine and the place seemed clean enough.

Now the bad. The queso was the most disgusting I've ever had anywhere. It was like they melted Velveeta and added some water to thin it out. People who want queso instead of salsa want GOOD queso, not garbage. Turns out, however, that the queso was close to one of the best things I ate. I ordered a chicken quesadilla with charro beans and rice. The beans had a good flavor, but there was a very large piece of some sort of thin sliced mystery meat in them. It was too big to eat as-is and there was only a fork in the napkin - no knife. So, there was no way to cut it as it was too tough to cut with the side of the fork. I took one bite of the rice and almost spit it out. The rice tasted like it had gone bad or had been sitting out for a long time. The one mouthful I got had hard bits in it, but that flavor was just awful. The sour cream had a slightly rancid flavor, the lettuce was wilted, and the tomatoes were mushy. I can't say enough bad things about this seriously terrible food.

I don't know how this place stacks up compared to other Tex Mex restaurants in this town, but I can't imagine any place serving food that is worse than this. To add insult to injury, when my check arrived, I was given a choice of tip amounts without the option to choose my own tip amount. That is absolutely unacceptable and I will never choose a forced tip, especially not for such disgusting food.

I absolutely will not...
