The downtown location is quaint and staff is incredibly friendly! Our waiter was on top of it and provided fantastic suggestions.

The food was delicious and presented beautifully! The margaritas were smooth and had a nice kick! My server was inattentive otherwise I’d give it 5 stars.
Andrey Tirel
Fantastic Mexican food. Some of the best we've ever had and we've got options in Chicago! The signature tacos were the best tacos ever! Tortas too!

Quaint, authentic Sonoran dining. Try the carne seca.

I had an amazing experience at El Charro in Tucson! I ordered the chicken and steak fajitas, and they were cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and served sizzling hot. The portions were generous, and every bite was packed with bold, authentic flavor.
What really stood out to me was the salsa—it had a rich, smoky flavor that perfectly complemented the rest of the meal. You can tell they put real care into their recipes.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. If I ever end up in Tucson, I'll be back. Go check em out.

GREAT venue for Mexican food in Tuscon, AZ! I had the carne seca enchiladas, with refried beans and calabacitas. Yum!

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.

Antonio our server was fantastic! Food was wonderful too!
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.

Great food!!! The staff is very professional, friendly, and very approachable. The ambiance and decoration remind me of old restaurants in Mexico. The prices are very affordable.

The food was incredible, the service impeccable. Everyone was extremely friendly and took the time to chat with us in the gift shop. Cannot recommend highly enough.
