The Food at Charro

From the chili Colorado burrito to the carne asada, this is Mexican cooking rooted in real tradition — not shortcuts.

From the Kitchen

The Bar

Margaritas with a salted rim, a full tequila selection, and a bar that earns its place in the name.

Bar & Margaritas

Decatur, Springfield, Taylorville

Each location is a little different. All three feel like Charro.

Built on Family, Rooted in Flavor

Ezequiel Camacho didn't set out to build a restaurant group — he set out to give central Illinois a place where the food was real and everyone felt at home. Three locations later, that's still exactly what Charro is.

Open space, plenty of seating! Very clean! Casual dining with an upscale feel. I mostly came here to tell you that the salsa is LITERALLY the best I have ever had at a restaurant. Authentic and robust in flavor! Whether on chips alone or paired with your meal, the salsa was NOTABLY DELICIOUS.

First time trying this place, but my friends come like every week. Everything was delicious. The salsa was great, not spicy like some other places, so if you like spicy salsa I'd request some for the table. I had the grilled chicken breast and it was soooo yummy!
