Taqueria El Charro de Jalisco — Restaurant in San Antonio

I don't ever write bad reviews about restaurants. But definitely did not have a great experience here. The food was good and timely, I'll give them that, but the waitresses were rude. Me and my friends went on lunch, and we were in AF uniforms, so I thought maybe they would just automatically know that we were still on duty. Or at least knew we were in the military. Well, they didn't give it to us on the receipt, so maybe they didn't know. Genuinely, sometimes people just don't. Okay, no problem. Go up to pay for it, I ask if they could do a military discount. "Um, no." I looked at the sign and pointed to it. "Are you sure, ma'am? Because it says right there that you do." "Oh no, sorry, we just do that for plates," she looks at my receipt, and she realizes I got a plate. "Oh, well, we already put it through. Yeah, sorry." I was already a little annoyed by that, considering I've worked in retail before and knew that was a boldface lie, but I was gonna shrug it off. But THEN, my friend who was behind me, who serves in the armed forces as as well, asked for the military discount, and they changed it for him no problem! We got the same food, which apparently was a problem before. Coincidentally, he was Mexican too, and he was speaking Spanish to him and they were very friendly with him. And then my friend behind HIM asked the same thing i did, but of course, they couldn't do it for her. Equally indifferent to her as they were to me. I guess they'll hook up a bro from their own culture, but can't put forth anymore effort than that. That was probably one of the most backhanded, rude situations I've ever experienced. I don't ever treat someone of a different culture any less than the next person, but I'm just saying if I were to do that (im white) I would easily be written off as a racist. At least I know better than to...

INSULTED To The Core! A friend and I stopped here after leaving LAFB, it was 1:45pm on a Tuesday. My friend recommended this place and raved about the food… Their sign read ‘open’ the drive-thru was open/taking orders, and a family of 4 was seated/eating their meal. But, the door was locked and no one came to the patio window where orders can be placed. Ok, we thought they must have closed early… As we walked back to the car, a truck with four adults walked toward the restaurant. I informed them that it appeared they were closed but the drive-thru was open. They seemed surprised but proceeded to the door… Much to our amazement a young lady let them in!! Confused and shocked… we called to the group asking if the restaurant was really open or closed… one said “no, they’re open”, they asked the young lady if we could come in and she said YES. I informed the young lady that my friend and I had just been at the door and at the window and no one acknowledged us, she did not respond. I asked her why they were allowed to enter and we weren’t; her response was “they’re regulars”… I asked what time they close, she said “1:30pm”. I thought OK… so an exception was made for their regulars…perfectly understandable… However, that was a blatant lie! They do not close at 1:30pm… they close at 10pm… I do not recommend! Attempted to include a photo, however the photo ...

Be aware!!! The prices you see on the menu are not the correct prices. Went to eat with my family tonight and when I got to the cashier to pay all the prices were different. Everything was more expensive. There excuse was we have a sign on the window that says prices change daily.. I was like this ain’t gasoline prices where they change daily…I was super mad. I told the waitress well you need to put posters inside letting people know the prices on the menu are not accurate., or at least tell your customers when they order that the price is higher then in the menu. The only thing I kept getting out of them was, “ we have a sign on the window “.. I’m sorry but when I go to a restaurant I don’t walk in looking at the windows, I’m hungry and ready to eat. These people are taking advantage of people and military people next door. Spread the word and let people know that if you’re on a budget to eat out don’t come here because you’ll end up paying more. OH!!! and the foods not all that …...
