El Charro Mexican Food & Cantina
Enchiladas, sizzling fajitas and Livermore wines at a Maple Street cantina that also runs a banquet room.
Acerca de
The name is a nod in two directions. El Charro Mexican Food & Cantina, at 186 Maple Street near downtown Livermore, takes its name from Mexico's horsemen and, its owners say, from Livermore's own cowboy history, the one the city's annual rodeo still celebrates. The restaurant opened in 2001, according to its website. Jose Madriz is listed as owner in the chamber's records, which filed the business as El Charro-Livermore.
On the menu and at the bar
Enchiladas and sizzling fajitas headline the kitchen. The cantina side mixes margaritas and pours tequilas and cervezas, and it keeps Livermore Valley wines on the list, a fitting choice in a town ringed by vineyards. There is a happy hour, and meals can be ordered online for pickup or delivery through the restaurant's ordering page.
Parties, catering and practical details
A banquet room handles private parties, and the kitchen caters birthdays, holiday parties, corporate events and weddings. When you enquire, have the date, headcount and budget ready, ask which menu options suit a buffet rather than a plated meal, and confirm how many guests the banquet room holds and for how long you can have it. Holiday-season dates go early, so book office parties well ahead.
The posted hours cover Tuesday through Sunday, opening at 11:30 on weekdays and 11 on weekends. Monday hours are not listed, so call before planning a Monday visit.
Livermore and the Tri-Valley
Downtown Livermore is a walkable stretch of restaurants, tasting rooms and the Bankhead Theater, and El Charro draws diners from Pleasanton and Dublin, from Sunol and Castro Valley, and from Hayward and Fremont on the far side of the hills, all in Alameda County.
Closing time is 8 most nights and 9 on Friday and Saturday. Call 925-371-8297 for a table, a catering quote or the banquet room.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioHow early should I book a holiday party?
Holiday dates at restaurants with private rooms fill first, often by early autumn. Contact the restaurant as soon as you know the date, and confirm the room size, deposit and cancellation terms in writing.
What should I ask when booking wedding catering?
Ask about buffet or plated service, how many servers are included, whether the caterer brings chafing dishes and linens, delivery and setup times, and the deadline for the deposit and final headcount.
Is the restaurant open on Mondays?
The restaurant's posted hours cover Tuesday through Sunday and do not list Monday. Call ahead before planning a Monday visit or a Monday pickup order.
Can the kitchen handle dietary needs?
Tell the server about allergies or vegetarian preferences when ordering; many Mexican dishes can be made without meat or dairy. For catered events, list dietary needs with the headcount so the kitchen can plan.
