Reviews for El Charolais in Johnson City, TN

I have to say that this place is truly great and more than just food. They help out the homeless if they don't have money and... they are glad to do it. They are always friendly and positive. The food is really good and it's fairly priced. This is by farone of my favorite restaurants! Read more

Great food at a very reasonable price. All the staff are very attentive with super personalities. A plus is the free Nachos... with authentic house Salsa. We visit at least once a week! Read more

Al Pastor, carnitas, and chorizo authentic tacos are so yummy! A definite must try!

The server was friendly. The food was flavorful. The prices were reasonable.

I had the combo plate just so I can try a variety as it was my first time visiting. Got the chille renello, beef taco and a... chicken chalupa. The chille renello was soggy and so much cheese that's all you can taste. The taco was flavorless and thechalupa was no better with really dry chicken. So many of the toppings were just piled on as you can see in the picture that itwas like mush. Gave it a 3 cause the staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful. The prices were great too. Idk ifit was a bad day for thy cook or what, but just not for me. Read more

Update 6 months later: The food is still trash and zero accountability. Some friends convinced us to get drinks there and try... the food again. The Pina loco meats were over cooked ( so dry that I literally choked a bit) and the rice was so salty that Icouldn't take another bite of it. The worst part was the waiter pretending like they had a manager we would be able to talk towhen there wasn't. The ladies up front gave us a 10% discount on food we did not eat ???????????? and made us pay??!?? One ofthem also made it seem like since no other person had complained about the rice , we were making it up ( I told her to go aheadand try what we were served and maybe figure out how ridiculous this restaurant is). The drinks were not bad but they clearlyhave poor customer service and again no accountability for error. I never want to hear or go near this restaurant. I can'tbelieve people actually go here and are regulars!!! The worst Mexican food we have ever had. The chicken was dry , ourquesadillas had no cheese in them. The steak wasn't seasoned. The worst part of it all was I had informed them of my allergy toavocados and that I did not want guacamole and they still included it and ruined my whole meal. Read more

Loved the food, great service, super cheap lunch prices. Taco salad was so good. Definitely will be back.

I loved the food, though the taquitos weren't so good, and the pineapple with meat (sorry forgot the name) wasn't to my liking... but everyone is different. I loved dessert, definitely recommend but last time it was amazing. We came back because we loved theplace, but it wasn't as good as last time. Even the fries weren't as good (burnt.) Read more
