El Charro Cafe never disappoints. I ordered the Charro Grill. This steak & enchilada is a traditional combination that arrived with the steak perfectly cooked and the red enchilada sauce perfectly prepared. I never have enough sauce but the chance to get perfect red enchilada sauce in Tucson is worth the want. Entrees are always accompanied with rice, (I chose )refried beans, and Calabacitas, and a choice of tortillas ( I chose corn and they were fresh and fab). A box of chips and a generous amount of salsa came as well. Very satisfying and for me enough for two meals.

Everything was tasty but for $4 was really pricey for a small container and a bit brown on top of the Side Small Guac.
El Charro Cafe's Carne Seca Relleno was excellent with Xmas sauce. Beans, rice and Side Calabacitas were great.

The posole was full of fat. We've had it before this was awful. For $19 we got three tiny taquitos. My Carne Seca was dry and they didn't include tortillas.

The Tucson's Enchiladas Sonorenses was presented completely different than the picture you see. I received two big extra fat corn masa patties that were uncooked in the middle with not enough Chile sauce to chase all that masa down. They also came with small speckles of powdered corona cheese, and nothing else. The albóndiga soup had day old Mexican rice in the the quart, thrown in as an after-thought, and three meatballs. VERY DISAPPOINTED, for the money I handed you.

I ordered the Tamale Stuffed Chicken, they were out of stock and chage it to the Reynosa Chicken. Nobody contacted me to see if that was an acceptable substitute. The restaurant decided without my input. They sent an email to notify me. Also the guacamole was blackened and bitter. The steak on the burro was overcooked and dried.
