Speaking of El Charro Cafe, let me just say that the dining experience there was a gastronomic rollercoaster of delight. WOW! The food was insanely good, the kind that makes your taste buds do a little happy dance. The portion sizes? Let's just say you won't leave hungry, and the plate presentation is worthy of an art exhibit. The service and ambience didn't disappoint either; it was the cherry on top of our savory outing.

Went back with out of town guest.I had not been back for over 15 years.It was a fantastic experience. Food was excellent. We started with a share of Queso Fundido with chile & chorizo.My friend had never had this and loved it.It was much better than others I have tried around town.
Enchiladas were great.I had the special Carne Seca plate and he had the seafood.a few Mexican beers and we had no room for dessert. The 2 salsas were both excellent I poured all the red on my Enchiladas. 10 of 10 folks .Made a yelp reservation and all was perfect. a patio table would have been fun been sun & 80s kept us inside taking in all the character of the old home.

We came to see what is the fuzz about this Café. Surprises me that their food actually really good. After we are rested on our table, we were served with chips and their Salsa dip is amazingly taste great. I ordered their Carne Seca Platter and chose the corn fita. I usually couldn't finish an adeqaute plate anf the meal was an experience that I will remember because it was really good.
The place used to be a house/home and remodeled it as a "family-type" café. If you have the chance to visit downtown Tucson. Never miss this place. However, they are packed most of the time, come early so can reserve a spot for you, family and friends.
