This place has money Mexican cuisine . Their signature dish carne seca is amazingly flavorful and tender. The tres leche ...wow

The carne seca is as good as advertised. I got the combo #5: carne seca , Chile relleno and a enchilada ; all were excellent.

Carlotta’s Chicken Mole (natural chicken breast with chef’s mole sauce over a bed of arroz blanco & grilled vegetables , featuring calabacitas and frijoles charros)

Breakfast selections are hidden on the menu but worth finding and served all day. Try the red chile tamal and the scrambled eggs and green chile ! Delicious!

Ben Conner

Chilaquiles were excellent, the owner also dropped off a sample of the calbacitas which was a new thing for me, and it was great!

Timothy Mills

The food, the service, and the atmosphere are tops here every time. Love El Charro!

A higher level of Mexican food . Was a great choice. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

If you like beer , their exclusive brew, "1922 Amber Ale ", is a must try!

Janna Zankich

Oh El Charro, I ask for no sour cream on my tacos and you charge my co diner $1 for her sour cream ? Do I receive $1 off my lunch ? Give a little amigos :)

Don't trust your reservation . We were visiting went in two days ahead to reserve a special table to treat our hosts. We arrived early and the general manager had given our table away. No apology.

Surprisingly delicious vegan plates! Try the quinoa tamales .

#WhiteDino.com says must try the famous Carne Seca or the fish taco's !

I ordered their soft Fish tacos because I heard it was good. For me, it's okay and I'm not really amused. I guess their price is to much. But the Nachos are good.

Max James

Tacostada with grilled chicken is fantastic! Very artful and neat arrangement of food on the plate as well .

Dean Hopkins

If you're in the mood for Mexican go no further. The Barbacoa tacos are awesome. This place is popular so make a reservation .

Erik Laing

Good quality, earnest service. Margarita and mixed drinks were weak. Food temp was spotty amongst our table. Fun atmosphere but BUSY! Try ot but don't expect a miracle.

This is the best location to take out of town guests. They will love it.

David Anderson

Our server was arrogant, the food seemed like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a LONG time. Nothing really positive to report other than them having a nice building. Can’t see going back.

Little Joe

Love the Carne Seca and Birria burros!

Being a regular customer here, I am disappointed that they pulled the lunch menu today (Thurs) to cash in on holiday travelers. No bueno El Charro :(

They dry their Carne Seca on the roof under the Tucson sun. Que rico!
