Charro Steak & Del Rey

We stopped here for dinner while visiting Tucson after taking the Amtrak train from Marshall, Texas to Tucson, Arizona. This restaurant is right next to the AC Hotel Tucson Downtown where we were staying, so it was an easy walk over for dinner after arriving in town. If you’re staying downtown or coming in on the train, the location is very convenient. The restaurant actually has two separate dining areas with different entrances. When we first walked into one side they asked if we had a reservation. Since we didn’t, they kindly directed us around the corner to the other dining entrance where walk-ins were seated. We were able to get a table without any trouble. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the start. Service was smooth throughout the evening and the food was excellent. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were very good. Everything came out well prepared, well presented, and tasted delicious. The atmosphere inside is great. Exposed brick walls, warm lighting, and a lively dining room give it a nice upscale feel while still being comfortable and relaxed. It is on the pricier side, but the quality matched the price. Dinner for two was about $175 including drinks, and everything we had was very good. If you’re visiting downtown Tucson, staying at the nearby hotels, or arriving by Amtrak like we did, this is a great place to enjoy a quality steak dinner. Tip: If you don’t have a reservation, try the second dining entrance where they were seating walk-ins. Recommended visit: Dinner.

I traveled here on business and was able to go out for dinner. What a surprise this restaurant was. I’m kind of a steak snob, so I was ready to be a bit disappointed, but to my surprise everything was on point. The steak was juicy & tender, Rochelle my server provided the perfect amount of service (not too much, but my drink never ran out) and u was able to visit with my family while we’re at dinner together (via FaceTime). I will definitely be back there next time I’m in Tucson.

Nice place, I think slightly overpriced for the food items. I would say excellent drinks, good food, good service …but nothing spectacular….chips and salsa were good, smoky flavor to the salsa. The lobster queso fundito was good, But they brought it with Chicharron and I don’t eat that. So the waiter brought chips, nice! We each drank Julian Drew’s Cadillac margarita they were so delicious… We had 1 more! We ate filet mignon. My favorite steak is really a ribeye, but it was priced higher than the fillet. The. The beans that came with the steak were good, The salad was so soaked with dressing, it was wilted. Service was good, but not spectacular. The waitress that brought us our dinner, not the regular waiter, reached over my friend to serve me my plate…. I thought that to be a little rude. Overall good, not A place I would return to considering the price I wish I would have taken pictures before we started eating….

This was an awesome place! One, it was open on Thanksgiving. Two, the turkey dinner was amazing! You got everything on the plate- white and dark meat, mashed potatoes with gravy, dressing, corn, green beans, mac and cheese, and a dessert table. The bar was cool too. It is a very big place. We didn't order the lobster, but it looked amazing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) We are frequent visitors to Tucson and love exploring the food scene, so we were excited to try Charro Steak & Del Rey. The ambiance is beautiful, sultry enough for a romantic night out, yet still welcoming for families or groups celebrating together. Definitely insta-worthy. We were warmly welcomed and quickly seated, which was a great start. Chips and salsa arrived quickly, but it took a while before water and drinks made it to the table. Our server explained that one of our cocktails required a trip to their sister restaurant, which contributed to the delay. Salsa offered so many delicious flavors, combined it was a jackpot. We ordered the Chef’s Cut of the night along with the tableside Caesar salad. The salad was a highlight w/ fun presentation, great story, and absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, nearly 30 minutes after ordering, we were told the entrée was no longer available. We quickly pivoted to another option, but by the time the steak arrived (about an hour into the meal), it was barely warm and slightly overcooked. The flavor of the Montana grass-fed beef was excellent, but the execution missed the mark for what should have been a standout dish. Dessert saved the evening, the lava cake was excellent. However, timing was again an issue: my original coffee cocktail couldn’t be made, so I switched to a chocolate espresso martini, which arrived after the ice cream with our dessert had already started melting. Overall, Charro Steak & Del Rey offers wonderful ambiance and great flavors, but our evening was overshadowed by timing issues, long delays, and missed expectations for a fine dining experience. I truly believe the food is very good here, just wish the service flow matched the quality of the ingredients.

We had a Valentine's dinner 6:45pm reservation for Charro Steak. Drinks and oysters at the steak side bar with live music was nice. We were then sat on the Del Ray side, where my poor experience began. 1. There wasn't live music in the Del Ray, instead random music played from the sound system which wasn't supportive of a Saturday night Valentines dinner. Not romantic like the steak side would've been. 2. Our server was a male, who had a nonchalant attitude about providing service. We sat for 5-6 minutes before he greeted us and took our drink order. We had to ask 15 minutes later for him to bring our ordered diet pepsi. Mid-meal, instead of recognizing an empty glass at the corner of our table, we had to ask again for a refilled soda. 3. Our server was whistling as he walked around the restaurant. We knew where he was in the restaurant by hearing his whistle, and he surely wasn't tending to our needs without first having to be called over. 4. When my $130+ meal arrived, it came without a steak knife. At this point, I just used my dull table knife. 5. Sure, my server did his "job", but the service was pitiful. He referred to me as "bro" "my dude" instead of something courteous. Also, he referred to the man in the table next to me as "big dog". If I wanted this level of chill, I would have gone to a sports bar, not dropped $300+ at this steakhouse. At the end, he took the signed receipt without a farewell, thankyou, nor happy whatever. Just grabbed the ticket, his pen and walked to the staff computer. Food was delicious, but the overall experience was a letdown. I wish I had chosen a different restaurant to spend my Valentines dinner at.

Went here for our anniversary, little confusing on which part to enter but got it straightened out fine. Service was great, our server had great recommendations, chips and salsa we really good, i would suggest keeping the salsa for the main dish. The steak was done very nicely. Bacon wrapped shrimp were very tasty. The dessert was excellent.

Simply awesome. This place has been on my list for a while. Finally made it. Steak cooked perfectly. Prime Rib was tender and juicy. Shrimp and Scallops were excellent. The Mexican twist really added great spice and well rounded flavor to everything. Nothing overwhelming. The green chile mashed potatoes were good but didn’t really taste the green chiles. Awesome roasted salsa. Shoulda bought a gallon of it. Only did 4 stars for atmosphere because it was a bit loud. Hard to hear server. I will be back.

This place is now on my list of must eat at restaurants for my annual trips to Tucson. I usually get my Tucson steak fix at the very casual and rustic Daisy Mae's on the west side but after seeing Charro Steak and Del Rey listed as a top restaurant in the US for filet mignon, I had to give them a try. I was not disappointed. The filet was prepared perfectly blue/rare as I had requested. There was a wonderfully flavorful seared crust on the outside and the inside of the steak was tender and juicy. The added side of 4 mesquite grilled jumbo shrimp elevated the entire dish and complimented the filet perfectly! My friend ordered the 22 day aged prime rib. He's a huge fan of prime rib and absolutely loved it! He's from Las Vegas and has had his share of prime rib out there at the resorts and casinos and he swears that the prime rib at Charro is near the top of the list for him. Like I mentioned earlier, this is now a go to spot when I plan on returning to Tucson for my annual weekend visit. I'll still have a steak dinner at Daisy Mae's, which is now a tradition for me, but a dinner at Charro Del Rey is also happening, either by hook or crook.

This is one of our Go To Night Downtown places to eat. This evening, 2025, was the 1st Day of Steak-Mas with a highlighted Salad and Prime Rib special. I'm going to focus on the great service we received from our servers who were attentive and made sure the one concern we had was addressed. The Prime Rib, tamale and brussels were amazing and well worth it. The salad should not have been highlighted and had issues, that I'll attribute to first night issues of the special. Mainly freshness, lack of ingredients and small portion. However this was addressed quickly, the servers and manager came to apologize and offered a free dessert. The best thing of a restaurant is often not just food, but how they address problems which Charro handled excellently. We will continue to dine here and look forward to continuined amazing meals in the future. Don't forget there is a reward program. Prices can be moderate to high which is common for this quality restaurant. Thanks

I've been here a few times but it was years ago. I've never made a review. Hubby and I came on a Friday night. We made reservations and they were pretty packed. However, they have patio seating. Food: appetizers: guacamole left more to be desired. It was bland but a cute setup. I would rate it a 6/10 I had the charro burger with added bacon and fries which was good with the prickly pear bbq sauce. Pretty solid so 8/10. Mac and cheese had a good flavor and I could taste two types of cheese. 7/10 Pinto beans were good flavor Mock Mojito was not great. 6/10 but our waiter removed it from the bill. Service: attentive, quick, pretty good.

I had the 22-day Aged Grass Fed Prime Rib, cooked medium rare, and it was beautifully prepared at perfect temperature and flavor. It came with horseradish au jus and fresh flour tortillas, which was such a fun and unexpected touch from a typical starch pairing. The only downside was that my particular cut had quite a bit of connective tissue, which made it difficult to slice through in some spots which might've just been the luck of the draw, so I'd be willing to give it another shot next time. The meal also came with their family-style frijoles Charro, which were delicious, and the complimentary chips and salsa. I personally would've loved the salsa to have a little more heat, but I get that they keep it mild for most palates. I paired everything with a Si Sangria Rojo, which was fantastic, light, fruity, and perfectly balanced. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous - stylish, warm, and inviting. And our server was wonderful: friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. Overall, it was a very nice dining experience, and I'd definitely come back to try another cut of steak and enjoy the great atmosphere again.

Came here with an old college friend to catch up. I'm from out of town but multiple people recommended it so I had to try it. Enjoyed a perfectly cooked medium rare Ribeye with corn esquite and Shashito peppers topped off with their Australian Shiraz. Remarkable taste all around and excellent customer service. Great easy going vibe. Lastly, don't get full on the h chips and salsa. The salsa was addicting, Will be back again next time I visit Tucson.

We were pleased with our experience here again. We ordered the albondigas meatballs for an appetizer. They were delicious. Wine was half off for a bottle, so some of us enjoyed that. We were seated in a quiet area with plenty of room. Christmas decorations made for a festive atmosphere. We all ordered the hamburger special. They were able to accommodate my special dietary needs, for which I was very appreciative. Service was friendly and attentive.

A wonderful and charming downtown eatery with an historic Western vibe. It's a loud, busy place, right on Broadway, but that doesn't take away from the atmosphere. The service was great and the food was amazing. We had at our table Seared Ahi Tostada, cheeseburger and fries, and two orders of Surf & Turf Enchiladas Banderas, along with Lobster Queso Fundido. All offerings were delicious!

I came here with my family to celebrate my birthday and I was not disappointed. The whole El Charro family makes you feel amazing once you walk in the door. Our server Christian was a 10 out of 10 and not to mention the food was amazing. Every restaurant under the El Charro brand is always exceptional.

Absolutely recommend this place for great steak and drinks. We came here for date night and I appreciate the service, the vibes and the food was delicious. The prices are fair and the restaurant is always immaculate clean. It's easy to make reservations and we didn't wait long for our food. If you're looking for great place for steaks and food in general with great vibes I definitely recommend any charro restaurants

You cannot beat this place for service, quality of food, and a high end experience. Truly a local gem not to be missed

We have been here a few times and the steak is pretty darn good. I like it's portion and the carne asada too is just great. I got the branzino last time and it was cooked perfectly. We sat at the bar and our bartender was so sweet. She made incredible cocktails too. The restaurant was busy and there was a lot of noise. Not uncomfortable, just a lot of people having a really fun time. I like the side dishes and I will be back.

I was really craving a good steak, so we decided to come here again. Our last visit was just okay, but this time was a wonderful experience. Everything from the salsa and tableside guacamole to the carne asada and halibut was outstanding. Big kudos to our lovely server--she constantly checked in and made sure we were doing great. Also, shoutout to the tableside guacamole girl, she did an amazing job preparing it fresh right in front of us. When we arrived, it was a bit loud due to the live music, but that only lasted about 10 minutes. After that, it quieted down and we could easily enjoy our conversation. Definitely a much better experience than last time. We'll be back

I had a great dinner here back in 2021 and I forgot to leave a review. So here we go! -the food was great! The staff was amazing! The bartender kept me happy and the dessert was fantastic! The dining area is super nice and laid back. (It was a great last meal!)

Easiest 5 stars in a while. Everything here is delicious. No wonder it's 100+ years old. To start, we had table side guacamole made by the owner. It was fresh and flavorful. We had also ordered a cornbread to share, but it must not have been rung up by our waitress, and came out later. However, the owner noted this, and informed us immediately it would be on the house. Very classy. For my main, I'm not big on steak, so I had the half chicken. It was so well seasoned and juicy; I thoroughly enjoyed it. For dessert, our table split a lava cake and the fried strawberries--both of which were fantastic. Our waitress was super sweet as well, and stopped by countless times to offer refills and check in. I'm only sad that this place is so far from home, I'd be here all the time!!

What an awesome find! Probably one of the best steaks I've ever had and perfectly cooked and seasoned! Also tried the meatballs - amazing, highly recommend! And had some delicious oysters. Service was on point, decor is fabulous, parking was easy. I will definitely be back and again, go for the steak - any cut - truly epic.

Met some friends at the downtown first Charro Steak & del Rey for happy hour daily 3-6 . Drink & burger specials .available along with dinner menu . I've tried the carne asada estillo sp style and table side guacamole on first visit .Enjoyed both. That said, I've had the hamburger & fries , 5$ off happy hour before and enjoyed as well . I was craving a burger hadn't had a burger let alone fries for months sadly. The food met all my great expectations and fries were done in a special liquid /oil? I forget what it was called, but tasty too. Only ate half there,it was not wasted. We had the lobster fondue appetizer along with tortillas & chicharrones , a meal in itself. FYI asked and told could substitute a small salad on plate rather than fries, but opted for a big salad to share instead . Margarita special ( 8$?) for friends , ordered a second must have been good . ( beer wine also happy hour specials .) Burgers were done to order with many standard toppings included . I asked for grilled onions an extra but respectfully would not order again although tasty made the burger too slippery , a real big slider but no complaints . The bun was good and I like a bun that can hold a big " gourmet burger together . I can't say enough about of fun , helpful server Reny was great , thank you . The backup staff were also fun and helpful alike. My cravings were filled ! ( I've been wanting to go to the new charro steak in older Casas adobes shopping mall in former Charro Vida concept . I hear it's been busy , to consider maybe go early , make reservations , or call ahead ?) Si Charro Tucson original and more originating over 100 years ago.

Great steaks and drinks. Steaks were cooked properly and good cuts. Definitely will be back when in town. Service was great!

I have for come here for awhile and continue to enjoy coming here. The food is usually good however the service and food of late has been inconsistent. Management disinterested etc. and non-responsive when there was a problem. Due to the non-responsiveness we have not come as often. However today was a total different story. Food was excellent. The only thing I would add is with the filet, it does crave a sauce. While perfectly cooked, nicely charred with the wood, a sauce would be nice. The service was the best I have seen ever at this establishment. There was no hesitation to take care of the customers and respond when there might be a problem. Beyond taking care of issues, the service was flawless. Today was a good day! Look forward to continued customer service and good food more frequently now!

This was our first visit. It started off a little bad. They didn't save our bottle of wine for our anniversary like promised. But the manager Steve and our waiter Santiago were amazing. They spent the entire time making it up to us. Checking on us. So all is forgiven lol. Now the food. The chips and salsa to die for. The appetizer. Oyster shooters and shrimp cocktail were super good. Wife had the ribeye with lobster tail. And I had the holiday special. The food was amazing. We definitely want to return. And I always look at bathrooms to see how people care about cleanliness and the bathroom was spot less. And smelled so nice. If I had to make one complaint it would be that the owner doesn't have one in the Phoenix area. Wife and I highly recommend you stop by to try this place.

Food and service were excellent! Showed up with no reservations on a Saturday night! I had the dry aged ribeye and my wife had the filet! Drinks were awesome and so was dessert. Worth the price tag!

vibes were up at this steakhouse with a live guitarist & great ambience. Place was massive too. food = delectable. We got the carne asada and the steak was so tender and juicy omg. Definitely make a reservation if you can.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Tucson! We were celebrating a birthday this time around so we went all out! We ordered the tableside guacamole which is always a hit, and this time was no exception. Then we got El Tower del Rey and boy were we feeling like royalty! Since we were there to celebrate I was able to sneakily ask our server if there was a surprise dessert that could be brought out for the birthday guest. She took care of everything and brought out the delicious and very special Champagne Fried Strawberries, which were the perfect sweet ending to the delicious meal. They were also able to accommodate an avoiding of dairy and eggs when asked to do so, and since there were multiple preferences at the table they made sure to include things like cheeses or creams and butters on the side so that no one had to miss out while those who were abstaining could still delight in the meal fully. So not only was the food top-notch as always, the service was a perfect match! The ambiance is further enhanced by the live music they often have playing by different musicians. On this particular evening there was a guitar player. One of the other things I love about this place is their focus on grass-fed beef and sustainable seafood. I seek restaurants out when they make this a priority as a part of their menus, so it's just another reason that Charro Steak and Del Rey deserves five stars!

Sheesh... Where do I start... This place from the entrance to the restroom is Amazing.. Lol.. With that being said.. I took my daughter there for her "25" Bday...From the service to the food was just Top notch...I had the Carne Asada steak... My GF had the Sea bass.. Her bf had the Salmon Con Charrochurri.. Appetizers- Charro Escargot..... Dessert was Salted Caramel Flan..... If you live in Tucson and never tried it's a must or out of town. El Charro Steak & Del Ray won't disappoint..

I had dinner here last night. There were six of us. We were seated in the Del Rey space, but the menu is the same in both spaces. I had two El Chingon oysters, one Wildcat oyster, and a Surf & Turf Enchiladas Banderas. The enchilada plate had three enchiladas, one each with steak, lobster and shrimp filling. They gave my friend a free dessert because it was his birthday. I think everyone was happy with their food as well as the service and ambiance. This is a special-occasion place for most people--dinner for six came to $289.45 including tax and 20% tip, which they add to the bill for groups of six or more. That's almost $50 per person.

We love eating here but last night was even more special. Besides the yummy food we had the nicest server, Olivia M. She was professional and so so sweet. When we return we will ask for her!

Decided to take some out of town visitors to Charro Steak & Del Rey for and we were really excited to give them a taste of Tucson with a Si Charro Concept. Made a reservation weeks in advance because we had an event down the street scheduled for two hours after our Charro Steak/Del Rey reservation. Getting seated was a terrible experience and the food was just okay. Showed up to Charro Steak to be told we needed to go over to Del Rey (not sure how they decide where you're seated) only to get told 15 minutes after our reservation time that it was going to be a long wait. I talked to (what I can only assume was their management team) about us having an event coming up, and they said the kitchen was full and food would take 35-40 minutes even if they sat us. No apologies from their team, just basically told us it wasn't their fault. Not too long after they did end up seating us, but the whole meal took a while as they outlined. Food was fine, ordered some sides the chicken, filet, and pork chop. We all agreed we'd had better from other local restaurants. After we paid and ordered dessert, they forgot and we had to find their team to remind them about it after 15 minutes. Rushed to eat our dessert and finally left just shy of 10 minutes before our event. Between the less than ideal interactions with their team and the food, we won't be back. Not sure of the purpose of making reservations they can't accommodate. If you're planning to be somewhere after, find another downtown restaurant.

Solid steak and Mexican joint in downtown area. I'm here for a work trip and spoke to a friend who grew up in Tucson and recommended I try one of the Charro restaurants, such as the Cafe and since this was across the street from my hotel and it was late when I arrived Monday night this one was top of my BINGO card. Very smoky inside from the grill and seemingly poor ventilation system but the steaks were terrific. I got the Carne Asada medium rare and a house sangria that was on special for only $5 and the chips and salsa and beans came with the meal. Two tiny corn tortillas arrived on the plate w my steak and that seemed oddly skimpy but the steak more than made up for the limited sides. Excellent tender grass fed steak cooked perfectly and the salsa was fire roasted and delicious. Decent meal. Would return.

Charro Steak and Del Rey is having THE most amazing promotion! They're offering $100 gift cards BOGO! That means you can get HALF off dining which blows my mind! There are very few restrictions, like they can't be used for the gratuity or on July 24/25 but I think that's about it. Oh there's a $500 limit per visit too (double check that one for accuracy) but c'mon! Since when is fine dining SO down to earth?! Talk about taking care of your community! The food, the service, the atmosphere WOWzers! Always! If I am looking for a SURE fire, great meal, Charro Steak and Del Rey is MY go-to....... And with this promotion I hope it becomes yours as well......

1st off, Avi was our Waiter. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE from start to finish!! You need to *Clone* this gentleman. APPS were outstanding! Ahi Asada Tostada, Escargot. However, the Ceasar Salad for (2) needs work, sorry. It should be a creamy dressing, not a vinegar/oil along with sliced cheese small pieces as opposed to shredded. Lobster Tamalada was out of this world!! Steak cooked to perfection. We were a table of 4. The other 2 meals are shown in Pics. Desserts were Champagne fried strawberries to cake!! We will ALL be back! Having live guitar music really gave beautiful ambiance. Thanks everyone!!

The food was a 10+ the service was amazing. They kept coming and asking if we needed anything we did not have to wait for any of the drinks. The ambience was absolutely gorgeous. We sat in the booth and celebrated. My son's promotion will definitely be back.

Amazing! So dang delicious. Service , food wow!! You have to come here!!! ya gotta get the table side guacamole for sure

We didnt have a reservation, but stop by to see if they could fit us in a party of 4. They sent us down to Del Rey which was fine and happy to get seated. Same food same ambiance and great service. We started with table side guac it was good and always a good way to start. Our daughter has a thing for oysters the waiter picked 4 also good and the horseradish had a kick. My wife had the carne asada she loved it and i had a bite it was very good. My daughter had the salmon con charrochurri she loved hers cooked to perfection. I had the rib eye rare very good. My little one had the burger and fries and he ate every bit. Desert we had the champagne strawberries deep fired different but good. We will definitely be back to celebrate another time down south AZ.

Best filet that I've had in Tucson! The service is outstanding. If you want a fabulous meal with a southwest flare Charro steak is where you should go! We've been to the Broadway location, but we live close to Charro steak on Oracle/Ina. The best Christmas eve meal close to home

Couldn't be more confused with negative reviews for this place. Talk about a goldmine in the middle of Tuscan. This place is flat out FIRE. We got multiple dishes from the albóndigas, mushrooms, steaks and it was INCREDIBLE. The service was solid. The atmosphere is great as well. They had some live music going and it wasn't aggressively loud like some places usually have it. Stop in if your in the area. Cheers!

First thing to know, is that is very smoky in this restaurant. If you have any sort of breathing issues, I would probably skip going. As a vegan, there was one main course vegan option, it was done really well and I didn't miss the fact that I didn't have any other option. It was tamales and a really fresh little salad. My friends really enjoyed their meat dishes. It is very loud in here as well, it's not the best ambience but it's a good place to meet up with some friends.

Love everything about it. So nice to have a steakhouse that isn't the boring old classical steakhouse. I really enjoyed the Mexican influence and some unique options. Sooo good

We had dinner at the steakhouse before a show. We really like the food and the service. Steak - so darn good. Flavorful and MR just as requested. Ceviche - Nice firm Ahi and the sauce was great. Refreshing. Service - Hayley stayed on top of things. She was helpful, friendly, attentive. I'd have given 5 Stars, but we were seated in the bar right behind the guy playing guitar and his speaker. There were tables that never filled in the dining room the entire time we were eating. So it isn't plausible that they were saving those tables for other reservations.

How about 10 stars? Why, oh why, is this restaurant's overall rating not a 4+? I regret that after living in Tucson for 14 years, I just now get around to trying this restaurant. And sadly, now I'm moving out of state. This was among The Best meal I have had in Tucson! Everything was perfecto. I had the carne asada (steak). It comes out as a steak cut. So tender. So flavorful. Mouth-watering delicious! My wife had the Mesquite Grilled Pollo Asada. Superb! Flavorful and moist. I then had a Abuela's Chocolate Lava Cake for dessert. Oh my! Perfect balance of flavors. So a friend wanted to go out for dessert to visit before I moved, so we picked here because of the dessert menu. I came early and was hungry, so I ordered the carne asada again. Heaven! In July, the desserts are all only $5 (except the Sample Board) so we ordered the Abuela's Chocolate Lava Cake, Salted Caramel Flan, and Salted Caramel Flan. Yes, over the top fantastic! The flan is SO creamy, I think the best I've had in Tucson. My friend is not a flan fan, but she absolutely loved it! Then one of the managers came to check on us and we conversed about the desserts. He asked if we tried the Champagne Fried Strawberries. We hadn't. He started to describe them. Oh my goodness. Our waitress came by with the bill and we said to add an order ot the strawberries. A few moments later, the manager came by with a half order of the strawberries for us to try! Then we received our full order! Of course we polished them off! The service here is good, they pay attention to you but are not intrusive. Actually the service is great. When I visit Tucson again, I'm coming here, no doubt! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

We decided to go with a no Turkey Thanksgiving The Food was all delicious Mexican Corn and mash potatoes and whole beans . Desert was too yummy to pass up Mexican chocolate Mousse and Empanadas pumpkin & Apple & Pecan !!! Sugar sweet cookies !! Flan All the desserts went great with cafe ole coffee made with cinnamon The service was amazing!! Thank You sooo much !!!!

Incredible dinner at Charro Steak & Del Rey. Outstanding service from Rochelle. She was professional and made our experience very enjoyable. My husband and I started with oysters from Maine and Canada. I love how Charro has up to 4 rotational selections of oysters. Great innovation and experience for guests! Ahi Ceviche was good. I'd recommend cutting the ahi smaller for easier bite sizes. There were slightly too big. My husband was a gentleman to cut them smaller. Best cocktails to have is the El Maestro Cuco and Julian Drew's Silver Cadillac! Refreshing Margaritas! Last but not least, the steaks! I don't think I ever had the most delicious, perfectly cooked prime rib. Every bite was amazing. The bark was beautiful! I usually enjoy my steaks rare but for prime rib it is best as medium-rare and highly recommend! My husband's T-bone was like butter! Melts in your mouth and you are able to taste everything there is. Incredibly cooked! Enjoy our meals with charred, cream corn and roasted asparagus spears. Great pair! Charro serves all tables with beans and the Prime Rib includes green chile mashed potatoes. Overall experience at Charro was 10/10. Love the ambiance and good location in downtown Tucson.

I went for a special occasion for my son's celebration for graduation. I made a res for 7:45, and it started out great. a couple odd things/ we had to ask for steak knives and drinks were late to the table. Then mid eating steak, we were told that they were closing early and said we couldn't really get dessert.. Felt rushed , and w the hefty price, the service was not that of a true steakhouse. Lastly, on our way out the door, the server had to sweep right where we were sitting in the foyer and basically shut the door On us. Although the food was good, the service was not remarkable and would not recommend.

I love Charro Steak! Their employees are amazing and very friendly! Their host helped me out with many questions I had and answered them in full detail! Thanks Anna I'd recommend eating here for your first time in Tucson!

I came here for dinner with a group Saturday night, and most of the food was disappointing. The filet, halibut, and tamale were all too salty. The ahi tostada was very plain. The trout was delicious, but the accompanying veggies were also too salty. The chile verde mac and cheese was really good. I really enjoyed the Pom Patron cocktail--it was well balanced. It was also really cold in the restaurant as well.

Update: We couldn't stop thinking about those champagne fried strawberries! Went back the next night and ordered them again (and we never go to the same place twice when traveling) . My bf summed it up perfectly when he said "whoever thought of this is a culinary genius!" The best thing we ate in week in Arizona! -------------------------------------------- Yes! Our best meal in Tucson! Everything we ordered was on point. You must get the carne asada! It is so full of flavor, tender and juicy. We inhaled the perfectly cooked medium rare skirt steak. It also came with frijoles and your choice of tortillas. We also got the scallop agua chile which was refreshing, sweet, and tangy. All the flavors and textures intermingled perfectly. This was a winner too. Don't sleep on the chile verde mac and cheese which was unique, cheesy and comforting. Already full, we wavered on dessert. There were several interesting items, but we settled on the champagne fried strawberries. OMG! Fantastic! Juicy, sweet strawberries in a super light batter and tossed with some cinnamon and sugar with creme anglaise on the side. It sounds rich, but was actually light and the perfect sweet end to the meal. Carlos was our server and he was excellent! Loved the ambiance here too. 5 stars all around!

Traveling solo on a recreational trip stopped in here on January 1, 2025. Great way to start my new year. The ambience is very cozy, downtown Tucson is fun. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Decor is relaxed. Nice menu with many choices. Some important points I was taught by the wait staff : The beef is from grass fed cattle. All the seafood is from sustainable producers. I went with a ribeye and absolutely loved it. It was cooked to perfection of my choice, medium rare. I had a very reasonably priced red temporary wine to accompany. Price matched the quality of this excellent food.

We had such a great time at Charro Steak. We were seated promptly, the lighting, atmosphere and overall vibe was on point. Our waiter was very attentive and personable, he also made great recommendations. Wish I remembered his name but he was an older Hispanic very nice gentleman. We ordered the Porterhouse and it was perfection. The sides were equally amazing, we had the Grilled Mushrooms, Roasted Asparagus and of course the Charro Beans. Overall it was a 10/10, we will definitely return next time we are in Tucson!

Food was amazing, nice location downtown, received very nice anniversary dessert, pretty good service. Very accommodating when we had to change our reservation time. Cons were a long wait for cocktails and service could have been better. But all things considered, it was January 1st and that needs to be taken into account.

Make sure to go early if you don't have a reservation as we did not and we're seated right away, but guests that came in later needed one. We had two servers for the dinner and they both were great - never had to ask for refills or anything. My husband opted for the dry aged ribeye and I got a filet. We shared an order of mashed potatoes and then got the sampler dessert. The pumpkin tamal was out of this world. If you're looking for a cute date night place with great food that has a chic steakhouse feel, this is your place.

The service was excellent, and our server Jesus was absolutely wonderful. The mussels, cornbread, and dessert were all fantastic, and we truly think they have the best salsa in Tucson. That said, we were disappointed to see that the online menu still showed certain appetizers as half off, yet we were charged full price. Even after showing the online menu, the restaurant didn't honor it. While it was only about a $20 difference, it felt like poor business practice. We chose not to push the issue. Overall, the food and service were very good, but the way the menu pricing was handled left us frustrated. This was our third visit. I would say give the place a try.
