    I ordered the chicken fajitas and it was really good. Service was great, price is right and salsa was a little blah...but overall it's good.

    We spend winters in Tucson so this review will be in relationship to all the wonderful Mexican restaurants (Sonoran) we frequent there. El Charro is an attractive and clean restaurant with interesting decor. The staff are friendly and efficient. The chips were very good as was the salsa, if somewhat mild, probably for the local tastes. The prices were on par with the less expensive restaurants in Tucson. Quantities were generous. The food certainly is not authentic as there were mostly non-Mexican dishes such as fajitas, burrtos but no authentic dishes like machaca, chilaquiles, or pozole; there appeared to be no traditional Mexican seasonings such as cumin and epazote, and some items, like the chalupas were not at all like you would find in Mexico. No Mexican cheese on top of enchiladas or tacos, just shredded American cheese. Tortillas were factory produced, and dishes were smothered in iceberg lettuce and tomatoes,with a dollop of American sour cream, very Tex-Mex. However, this popular place serves up generous portions of inexpensive Americanized "Mexican" food. No Mexicans eating here! You gotta give them credit for doing the best they can in a locale that probably prefers this type of food.

    If they offered a negative rating it would be -5! I got in town with my co-workers last night and the hotel clerk suggested this place. 8 of us went. The food was sub par at best. I couldn't even finish my food! My co-worker ordered did to go and never got it. They started vacuuming and cleaning while we were still eating. It was clear they wanted us out. I had to find a waiter twice so our table could get refills of our drinks. Not even an hour later I started getting sick. I threw up and had diarrhea all night and still the next day. I found it the next day that for others were sick too.

    Service was fast and friendly and the food was yummy. For a town with 3 restaurants this is about as good as it gets :)

    Several locals recommended this restaurant. Portions are huge. I tried the Californian Burrito which was colossal. The Mexican food is average tasting. Domestic bottled beers are only $2.00...incredible. Menu items are cheap as well. Service was quick.

    Varied and extensive traditional Mexican food. The food is prepared well and quickly . They have a friendly and professional wait staff. The prices are reasonable . I have eaten in Mexican restaurants across the country and this serves as good of food as any.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
