Charro adds value to trend on Milwaukee Street
The menu at Charro Restaurante, 729 N. Milwaukee Street, is is a compilation of Cuban, Mexican and Spanish flavors. That's not a surprise when you consider the name, which comes from an Elvis Presley western. The decor is trendy, which you'd expect from a venue run by veterans Tom Wackman, Omar Shaikh and Michael Polaski. The surprise is the quality of the food and the reasonable prices.
