Reviews for El Charro Café in Tucson, AZ
Stumbled across this spot during their anniversary celebration. The food was amazing and we showed up at happy hour for $2 off... margaritas (excellent) and apps. We tried the vegan tamale stuffed mushrooms, which were absolutely amazing. Chips and a spicysalsa came with the food, also very tasty. I had to hold myself back to have room for the entrée. We tried the tamale trio andjackfruit taquitos. I loved everything I tried and would recommend the spot to anyone visiting. Very friendly staff and a verycute enclosed patio. Read more
Food was tasty, fresh, and piping hot, price was fair. Lovely bartender in bar could smile and be more friendly. My waiter was... great, and the Mariachi band was awesome. Ambiance was great. Read more
The food was so delicious and authentic. So much flavor & perfectly made. I only gave 4 stars because customer service was slow... and not very energetic. Our waiter took awhile to remove dishes that we were done with & took awhile to refill waters & bringcheck. Other than that, quite amazing! This place is extremely busy so I highly recommend making reservations! Read more
This place has only gotten better with age! Love the ambience and atmosphere of this charming building, built in 1896. My mom... grew up near El Charro and it was nice to take her on a lunch date and listen to her reminisce of her memories at this amazingrestaurant. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! Read more
It was okay. I was looking forward to trying this restaurant, but I think we caught them in a bad day. All the good reviews... talked about the beef seca but we weren’t at all impressed with them. The tamale stuffed chicken was pretty good though. I’msure there’s other dishes to try, but I wasn’t blown away like I was hoping to be. Read more
The absolutely the best Mexican restaurant in town. I have lived in Tucson for more than 20 years and am not sure why I have... not tried this fabulous restaurant. I had business lunch there and I loved it so much I had to take my wife there for a dinnerdate. Number 4 combo is just fabulous, wife loved the Fajitas with classic margaritas.....you gotta try this place if you arein Tucson. Read more
Good food and okay service. This was our first meal in Tucson and it’s definitely a winner. It has lots of nooks and crannies... - both indoor and outdoor seating including numerous bar areas. They were definitely short staffed and moderately busy when wearrived because they had plenty of seating but we still had to wait. Our service was decent but not great. The food was verygood and there was so much variety it was hard to pick. Again - I will go with very good but not great. Read more
Food was great but I wasn't impressed. I really liked their service and the atmosphere. It's celebrating it's 100th years... anniversary, so I thought it was a must while being in Tucson. The art and the history of the building make you travel to thepast, and It's a nice feeling. Overall, I had a good experience. ???? Read more
