Review by Giovanni Sawayn

September 16, 2024

El Charro Café Downtown is a charming spot in Tucson that beautifully combines history with vibrant Mexican cuisine! 🌮 We decided to dine outside in their cozy courtyard, complete with heaters for a slight chill.

We ordered the seafood enchiladas, steak fajitas, and that unique thin cheese pizza appetizer - which was a delightful surprise. Each dish was expertly prepared and delicious! Yes, we waited about an hour, but the overall experience was well worth it.

Just a tip: make a reservation ahead of time! I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu...✨
