Don’t lump El Charro in with all of the other Mexican restaurants! This place is special.
This is certainly the nicest Mexican restaurant in Oxford and maybe the state and maybe anywhere.
The restaurant is beautiful, spacious, decorated well and laid out in a way that makes sense.
An extensive menu with all of the usual suspects and their special dishes.
Loads of tortilla chips selections with various toppings. Numerous salad and side options. Entrees and fajitas for days.
The chips are crispy and not too oily. The salsa is thicker than some but good.
The Mexicanos taquitos are excellent. The rice is good.
The Camerones Fundidos is the most fun you can have with shrimp in a restaurant! Side it with street corn, off the cob!
The margaritas have their own menu and they have a full bar. They even have the elusive Skinny Margarita!
Eat here. Return. And have fun!

This was our second time in. Got there around 1pm and we were seated right away. Drink order was taken right away and our server was really nice. Chips and salsa came to the table right away. They were really paying attention and staying on top of things. The restaurant was very pretty and very clean. I really liked the vibe. We both liked what we ordered and it was fresh and hot. Our server was wonderful. She came by multiple times to check on us and even brought us extra ice for our tea just in case we wanted it. The presentation of the food was great. We don’t live in Oxford but visit fairly often and will definitely go back here..we are originally from Arizona and finding decent Mexican food in Mississippi has been a challenge. This place was really good. Give them a try…I think you will enjoy it!

During Winter Storm Fern, when so much felt uncertain, El Charro opened their doors and did far more than serve food… they served comfort and warmth!
Having a hot, delicious meal and such incredible service during a time when many were without power truly meant the world to our family. Ramiro and his team went above and beyond, welcoming the people of Oxford and Lafayette County with open arms, kindness, and generosity.
It absolutely warms our hearts to see a local restaurant show up for its community in such a meaningful way. We are so grateful for Ramiro and the entire El Charro team… this is what community looks like!! Thank you for taking care of us when it mattered most!!!

Excellent Mexican restaurant. In town for business and staying at the Tru by Hilton next door, this restaurant was a convenient quick dinner option. Definitely not disappointed with my choice. Food was outstanding; flavor, portion size and speed of service all great. My server Alfred consistently checked in and was very attentive. 100% give this place a visit!

This is a loud, generally very crowded environment. I’ve had hit or miss service. Food has always been good! Parking is a struggle at dinner time on the weekends. Enchiladas are great! My son loves the burritos. Strawberry/mango margarita is so good!

Quality is meh prices a bit high $$ and flavor lacking. 3 out 5 stars it wasn’t terrible but expected more. Staff was great and friendly.
except my shrimp they gave me huge shrimp. The atmosphere is gorgeous and inviting. They are a little proud on the prices of the food.
Kiddo wanted a side item Mac n cheese tasted processed and over cooked soggy noodles. I think the cast iron plate over cooked them.
My shrimp fajitas were great huge shrimp flavorful great portion.
Fiance’s mixed nachos chicken and beef. It wasn’t the good queso cheese it was like super processed, the beef had a weird flavor like onion powder, garlic powder, and maybe a tiny bit of cumin and weird after taste.
All in all if you want seafood go to there. If you like regular stuff you can get at other Mexican restaurants go to one of the others.

This is the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to by far. Like 5 star building/decorations/atmosphere/cleanliness but price point was like super reasonable-I was blown away at the price point and food quality /quantity. And the one thing that pisses me off the most is when Mexican places water down the cheese dip so much you can’t even get a decent dip and this was not the case here for sure! Perfect! And the guacamole even came out in a decorative bowl with pork rhines to further the aesthetics and was some of the best I’d had anywhere. PLUS they are pet friendly so my puppers got to come along as well! Can’t say enough good things about this place! Hate I live so far away but won’t be visiting Oxford again without making this stop!

Such a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. The staff was very friendly, especially our waiter Collin who was very attentive. The food was good, but honestly slightly overpriced and in need of a little more flavor. Overall, it’s nice and I would visit every once in a while.

I work in Oxford a lot, and this has to be one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at so far! The food was wonderful, and the staff was very friendly! I had my puppy with me, so they seated me on the patio and even brought my puppy a bowl of water! I definitely recommend this place!

Every time we visit this place it never fails us. The food is outstanding, very clean, and the service is always on point. Their drinks are phenomenal too. I just noticed they have a area where you can host your party
