El Charro -east Market - Harrisonburg

Nice Mexican restaurant. Good value. Nothing fancy.

Yesterday I went to El Charro on 33. Enjoyed my meal, paid, left a good tip and went about the rest of my day. 33 hours later I realize I'm missing my $500 roll of cash when I pulled out my other roll. I almost wrote it off as I lost it. Never to be found. Looked all over my house. Thought of all the places I could have misplaced it. Finally decided to have a call made to El Charro. A gentleman named Jose answered. After telling him the time I attended and the exact amount of cash. He said yes, he found it. He was told the table and the waitress who served me, as she was extremely kind during my visit. I made sure she was complimented for her kindness as it was very noticeable. He took my number and held it for me. I told him I was on the way. My purpose for going immediately was because I wanted to reward him for his honesty. When I arrived, he knew who I was. He verified who I was and I began a brief conversation with him asking the details of where the cash was and who exactly found it. He found it while cleaning off my table. He initially refused the $80 I was giving him until I insisted. Just thought I would share a positive story for the day.

Delicious fajita burrito!!! Perfectly cooked! Great service, nice atmosphere, menus are really nice! Beer ice cold!

The photos on the website portray this place as trendy and stylish. However, upon entering, I was met with more of a cafeteria atmosphere. To be honest, I almost considered leaving right away...

The service was so poor that I was nearly choking on my food because my drink wasn't refilled. Meanwhile, the server was simply walking around and reapplying her lipstick instead!
