El Charro Restaurante
586-598-7556
El Charro was voted the number one Mexican restaurant in Macomb County by the Macomb Daily newspaper. It also received an award for best tacos in Macomb County by the Detroit News. That is worth bragging about.
El Charro is located a little off the beaten path, about 1 mile off the major thoroughfare known as Hall Road. It is part of a strip mall shared with several smaller establishments and a major drugstore chain, a grocery story and a bank. This restaurant has three locations locally, one with a drive-through. This location is one of the newer ones and the interior is tastefully decorated. Mexican music plays softly over the sound system. El Charro serves great margaritas and homemade chips, salsa and guacamole.
