This place is too perfect if you ask me. The service, fantastic. The location and decor, amazing. The food, out of this world. It is a crime that this place is this good! The food came together perfectly from chips and salsa to the main course. We got a window seat which was lovely midday.
One of the oldest restaurants in the area. Authentic food, big servings, great drinks and a good time.
My wife and I stopped here after exploring downtown. We sat outside on the patio and had a great lunch.
The refried beans are legit here!
This establishment is a staple of the Tucson community and it was an honor visiting this mom and pop establishment that is now run by their children. They seem to have a couple other locations and sister restaurants in the area.
When I’m back in Tucson, I will be back.
We had a good experience at El Charro. The food was amazing, drinks were strong and the chips and salsa was amazing too.
The only downside being our waitress and service.
Chips and Salsa were great.
Prickly Pear Margarita was strong and packed a punch. Mangopeno was spicy and delicious.
We got a vegan burrito chimichanga style and it was mindblowing. It was hot and fresh and not deep fried like how we have had it so far. Very delicious and highly recommend.
About the server, She was not able to answer any questions or offer any explanations about how we could order some vegetarian food. She repeatedly said she will check, but never seemingly did. We had to figure it out ourselves and Google reviews, with no help from her. She even seemed to have forgotten to place our entree order in, as it took forever. This ruined an otherwise amazing meal.
A local recommended that we try this place for lunch. Definitely a great recommendation! Everyone in our group loved their meals. Service was great. Beautiful historic building. We had a late lunch and the food came out quickly. They do have vegan options.
The food was incredible. It took over a half hour to get served. But the staff worked with my wife's food allergies to provide her with a great meal as well. Can't wait to go back. I feel the prices were adequate for what we got.
Sometimes when the restaurant says they've been around for a long time, you hope it's because the food is just so good that people just keep coming in there for Generations. This is that type of restaurant. Customer service was honestly some of the best I've seen in my life. Even when super busy our server always found time to make sure we were taken care of. Our food was Unreal and Portion sizes were awesome. Everything was reasonably priced for what we got and can I say enough good things about just how great the food was. All local flavors to the area that will fit almost any pallet. Price is mid range or just be aware but honestly a great hangout spot for a date business occasion or just want to sit out and eat a good meal. Street parking and paid lot parking nearby if need. Overall one of my favorite restaurants I had the opportunity to go to while visiting the Tucson area. All the food was good, you honestly can't go wrong with a single meal choice.
Yesterday I had ordered online but there was a technical problem. Yet, the host and the manager provided a great customer service and the situation was handle with kindness. First time going to that location and I recommend. Plus their food was beyond exceptional 😁
It's been 21 years since my last visit here. The food is just as delicious now as it was then. When you a tradition going back over 100 years, quality goes along with that. The Tamales are simply the best I've had.
So, if you're in Tucson, stop in at the downtown location and enjoy great food and atmosphere.
We ate there one day when it was really crowded. We (5) were seated in the courtyard, the servers were running like crazy taking care of everyone, the food was great, and the event was wonderful. I liked it. Would go there again.
The food here was AMAZING! I loved the steak. The chips were really good and the service was great everyone was so nice and I love the decorations. I would definitely go here again 10/10
