El Charro del Rio: A Blend of Traditional Flavors in Milford, NJ

This place took over from the old Mexican restaurant that was there. Identical Interior layout, color scheme, tables etc. I think they just changed the name and opened the doors as a new restaurant. Came here for dinner. Home made Guacamole seemed rather expensive- $13 or $14? They do NOT have a liquor license so you can BYOB Had the burrito bowl and other person had a burrito. Food was ok- nothing to really rave above. The chips they served in the beginning were stale and the salsa was eh. Nothing unique or interesting on the menu. The atmosphere inside was very sterile. It was clean and tidy but there was no ambiance. Just blah- wasn’t made to feel welcome, staff was NOT engaging at all. Service was lacking too. Not much followup with the wait staff and at the end, no check was presented. Was instructed to go to the counter to pay. All in all, place misses the mark. Not very impressed and will NOT go back. There are other places in the area that are better. Also, on street parking is the only available parking. At least that was free.

We went here for lunch, and were immediately greeted and seated by our server, who was friendly and attentive. We were served chips and some excellent salsa while we waited. I actually filled up on the salsa and had to take a large part of my entree home with me, haha. My husband got the tacos al pastor and I got the tacos carnitas.Both dishes were excellent, and were made even better by the habanero hot sauce that the server suggested. We’ll definitely go here again next time we’re in the area.

Ordered the chicken burrito and my partner ordered the beef quesadillas. The chicken was cooked really well nice and soft. Nachos and Salsa were also provided at no charge. The burrito could have been a tad bit spicier, but it was still really good. Lots of seating and no complaints with the service. Prices are typical for Mexican food in the area.

We loved it here. We've tried almost every Mexican place in Hunterdon county and this one wins for price, portions and taste. The portions are generous, the food is tasty and it's very fairly priced. The chicken quesadilla was easily big enough for my 3 kids to share (they are 7 and under), especially when paired with a side of rice and beans. We will definitely be back. Service was super friendly and attentive.

Came here with a good friend of mine , kinda spontaneously. Glad we did I assumed the burrito was going to not fill me up and I assumed WRONG it was HUGE, tasted great ,and filled me up . Am very impressed with the food and the portion size. Food was really good . Even ate the leftovers cold . The waiter was very friendly and had a nice conversation with my friend and I. Thanks for the great service and good food ,Chef!

The gentleman who took my order was so kind and brought delicious chips and salsa… at no additional charge… how nice for a change!!! The salsa was perfect and so was the chicken burrito bowl!! I will definitely go back!!!

Absolutely delicious! I had the shrimp tacos And they were Fresh and fabulous! I love to the salsa and chips as well. Our server was so nice!

El Charro is a great local hangout. The food is very good, especially the guacamole! And staff/service is wonderfully accomodating. The night we ordered, we did so requesting delivery. Within minutes of receiving our online order, the resturant called to confirm delivery is not currently available. Which was not a problem, as down the road. Due to the confusion, in addition to our order, they offered us a dessert of our choice, as well beverage. Will return when visiting the area again.
