El Charro was founded in 1978 by Richard and Patricia (Pat) Rodriguez. Then, we moved to 2500 Central, seating 135 people. Our current location is at 1209 W. Wyatt Earp, which we opened in May of 1985 and seats 235 people. Our menu was small, offering about a quarter of the items we currently serve.
Our salsa is made from a family recipe that patrons of our Dodge City, KS restaurant have been able to enjoy for almost 30 years. It is served as the perfect complement to our tortilla chips, along with each meal. Each jar of salsa is homemade with fresh, natural ingredients. You can taste the difference!

The salsa and chips were yummy! Not to hot but decent flavor. My dish was also yummy and unique.
If you like flavor and "tex-mex" style this is the place! The waitstaff fast and friendly. Will go again!

Waitress gave our order to another table, and then took too long to fix it. After waiting for over an hour, the food was good. However they didn't even offer a discount for the miss up.

Enchiladas were the worst I ever had. People ordered after us and got their food first. Didn’t know you had to pay for chips and salsa, they just bring it to you. The cheese enchilada was so over cooked you couldn’t cut it with a knife! Worst Mexican food I’ve ever had

Can't say much got there 30 mins before closing. They had to check if they still had the grill going. The salsa was very watery. The portions were smaller than I thought they should be. Felt very rushed.

Horrible food! Everything had a very weird taste, Salsa tasted like straight chili powder, cheese dip was just velveta and that’s it, beat was terrible. Was staying less than a block away and barely made it back to the hotel before losing it all.

Wow. Great food, cool retro interior, clean inside and friendly staff! I had the surprise cheese enchilada which has lettuce, tomato and onion on top. Husband had bean and cheese burrito. Both were plenty for a meal. The chips were fresh, we shared three baskets. I did not care for either salsa but that’s just me. $16! We’re from Texas and love our Mexican & Tex Mex food. This KS institution did not disappoint. All the cars had Kansas license plates, always a good sign when the locals frequent!

Great food. Authentic. I had the pork green chili burrito. Perfect on the spicyness. Get the chunky prepared guacamole. You don’t find many places with fried flour tacos. Make
Sure you get one too.
