The servings are generous and food has authentic taste. Have been here twice. It is one of our favourite restaurants in Tucson. It is a little expensive, but the food is worth paying for. So no complaints.

Generous servings and authentic tastes, with helpful and pleasant staff. I went back twice for the awesome salads.

I am not from this area and was grateful to find a nice restaurant within reasonable proximity to my hotel. The weather was perfect for my colleague and I to dine al fresco, but I guess that might have made the service a little "removed".

With a beautiful view of the mountains at sunset, we just relax. I almost always have the mini-chimi platter enchilada style and have... More

Try some of their specials. Good portion size and price. Will definitely visit again. Had their 90th anniversary special and had eats I'd never seen before.

We had dinner at El Charro, based on TA reviews, and we were not disappointed. The three of us (including our 16-year-old son) agreed that is was one of the most delicious and memorable meals of our 10-day trip to Arizona. The complimentary chips and salsa are bottomless and delicious. The tacos - both beef and salmon - were excellent,... More
