"Taste of El Charro" Mexican Dinner for 8-10
This classic Mexican dish features artisan corn tortillas wrapped around El Charro Café’s famous birria verde, slow-cooked shredded brisket with mild green chiles & seasonings. It’s covered with cheese and your choice of signature savory sauces. Choose between traditional refried beans or whole charro beans to pair with Southwest style rice on the side!
El Charro Café was founded in Tucson way back in 1922 by the tireless Monica Flin. Her lineup of traditional Sonoran dishes made her a local legend; she’s even credited with inventing the chimichanga! Today, El Charro Café is run by Monica’s great grandniece, Carlotta Flores, and it’s America’s oldest Mexican restaurant in continuous operation by the same family. El Charro Café offers a wide variety of Northern Mexican and Tucson-style Mexican dishes, from enchiladas to tamales to tacos to burros, and their insanely delicious food has been hailed by everyone from Bon Appetit to the NY Times to Nation’s Restaurant News, which named it one of America’s 50 most iconic restaurants.
