El Charro Avitia - Table reservation

Of the long-standing Mexican restaurants in Carson City, this is the only one that I believe has maintained its quality of great food. Whenever I am visiting in town, I make a point of going to El Charro. I absolutely love their chile rellenos. Perfectly batter-dipped, topped with their delicious sauce and NOT smothered in cheese like so many other places do (excessive cheese is just a sign that the food is mediocre and can't stand on its own). Never had a bad meal there and the margaritas aren't bad either!

Been going here since I was a little kid, must be 30 years by now. Besides personally knowing and growing up with the Avitia kids, I've always felt happy at this restaurant. Unfortunately, I rarely order anything but the Mexican pizza! Lol. But honestly, every dish I've ever had is great. Even after this many years, the food, service any atmosphere haven't changed a bit. Literally, but even one little bit. They are part of Carson City history and culture.

It was a nice mexican restaurant with actual shredded beef in their enchiladas. Their salsa and chips were also nice and the customer service was good too. Would definitely come back a second time.

Great place to just and relax with a kick ass margarita, free chips and salsa and bean dip. Just go in the bar, happy hour. Just don’t drive, the margs are pretty strong. See you next Friday
