Well, the starter Margaritas set the stage for a great meal! Hubby had Chile Colorado and I had Carne Asada Quesadilla... two very good meals, filling and tasty! Salsa was perfect and roasted beans had good taste! We'll eat here soon. View all feedback.
What Stephanie L dislikes about Lienzo Charro :
Very average Mexican food. Salsa was not spicy, and needed more salt. Good for heartier meals. I'm always disappointed when steak is advertised but it resembles ground beef. Service was good though! View all feedback.

Who says you can't go to a restaurant only for dessert :D I was today year's old when I agreed to go to this restaurant only for dessert. It seems weird but I guess nobody says you can't? We came only for 1 thing but actually ended up ordering two things...I was craving Flan SOOOO BAD, and this popped up! The Flan was eggy, but also cakey. It wasn't overly sweet, and it was a generous portion, good enough for two to be honest. but, we can never share a Flan.. The hubs and I also spontaneously ordered a half order of Churros (comes with chocolate chip ice cream). These are not your Costco run of the mill churros, really crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside! Service is good!! The staff are super friendly and didn't judge us for only eating dessert (near closing time). Ambiance is chill, very casual, will come back for dinner one of these days
Food was filling and taste good. A bit salty but the portion was great. Service was fast and attentive. Outside siting is good for kids and the inside is big enough for a full family.
We had relatives in from Norway who really wanted to try authentic Mexican food. Called in a reservation for 9 people in the morning. The man I spoke to said he had another big table but he would try his best. Took our name and number. We show up at our reservation time and walk into a packed restaurant. I told the waitress about our reservation and she said oh we don 't take reservations on the weekends because it gets so busy. Why didn 't the manager who answered the phone say this? Our family from Norway was super disappointed and so were we.
Lovely spot for Mexican food! We came on a Sunday around 12:30pm and were seated immediately. Service was friendly and attentive. This place serves solid, hardy Mexican and breakfast food at extremely reasonable prices. Free chips salsa too! Note that the salsa is not spicy at all. I had the adobada street tacos with beans and rice. I wasn't a fan of the sweetness of the meat which I felt could've been better offset if they had added more lime/onions/cilantro (tacos were mostly meat with guac and a bit of pico) but they were still delicious. My party also got the chilaquiles and the taquitos and had a wonderful experience, my friend was especially a huge fan of the spices in the potato sides served with a good amount of bell pepper. Lighting is a bit dim which is characteristic of the bar vibe that this place is going for. Lots of personality and art on the walls. Easy parking and all-around relaxed atmosphere!

The daughter took me here for Father's Day Brunch, chips always on point never greasy never cold salsa ever fresh and tasty not too spicy. I had Chilaquiles, my daughter had pancakes, eggs bacon. my was great as always only comments Tortillas could have been a little on the middle side, instead of soggy, but still tasty, daughter was all good out of bacon seemed as if it crispy otherwise we love it food, We will be back ....
This restaurant has been a family lover for 20 years. When the family comes to town, it's here. We had appetizers here. Love people, family oriented. Food is wonderful. I recommend it a lot.

Our favorite Mexican food restaurant in a region filled with Mexican food restaurants! Great food prepared in a traditional manner (not Americanized , and attentive, friendly service. You won 't be disappointed!
When I go here on Sundays I get the Menudo. It's so good! It's like my Mom made it! Ronny knows I like Menudo and reminds me when we come here, so I have my memory of my Moms good cooking here.
