El Charro Mexican Restaurant Topeka, Topeka

At first glance, passersby may think that the wood-paneled exterior and wagon wheels of El Charro Mexican Restaurant were transplanted from the Wild West. But when diners dig into cheese-smothered burritos, spicy seafood, and chicken and beef brought to life with Mexican spices, they know they've traveled south of the border. The sprawling menu satisfies cravings for everything from chimichangas and quesadillas to traditional shrimp soup and huevos rancheros. For dessert, servers bring out puffy sopapillas or supply churros for diners to joust with.
