From the local food press
- Mexican
El Charro traces its family ownership to 1922 and still prepares carne seca by drying seasoned beef in the desert air above the downtown restaurant. That meat anchors chimichangas, enchiladas, and combination plates alongside tamales and chile rellenos. Adobe rooms and the courtyard make the history tangible without interrupting a lively meal.

- Burritos
The downtown dining rooms carry more than a century of family history, but the carne seca burro remains the clearest reason to visit. Beef dries in the desert air before it is shredded with green chile, tomato, and onion, producing a concentrated filling with a distinctly Tucson character. The historic courtyard makes this an easy stop for a leisurely lunch.
