Charro Steak & Del Rey

Service was super sweet and helpful Mac and cheese was spectacular Burger was good and lots of meat Fries- perfectly crispy

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.

Tuesday met friends at el charro steak & del Rey . 330 pm parked on meter just to the east . Was eager to try prickly pear albondigas appetizer which was very good not soup but 4 meatballs w peppers in prickly pear bbq sauce too. ( forgot photo to eager to share ) They also have tortilla soup I don't know if w chicken? Heard burger was good not disappointed w tasty fries . Very big hearty burger on quality bun ( didn't fall apart is the bun "test").Chips came with the rustico salsa & also the gatos sauce . Very attentive service . Happy hour 3-6 ( not sure sat /Sunday check menu ) 5$ off burgers & 2$ off draft menu . Wine discount? Check menu .

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.

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.

The guacamole is hands down the best quac I've had. The service was excellent. We got there early, so initially, the sound level was perfect. But as they got busier, the sound level was high. Everyone loved their food except me. While the Mac and Cheese with Chili Verde was amazing, the Ahi Ceviche was weird. The flavor was good but it was basically a soup. The chucks of Ahi were large. It's just not really Ceviche, which I love and always order when it's on the menu. I was very disappointed. The other sticking point is parking. They're is no designated parking, at least that I could find. I drove around for 15+ minutes to finally snag street parking. I took a party of 8 - half of which were customers. Thankfully, their offices were nearby so they didn't have to find parking.

What an amazing meal and experience. Jackson is killing it with this team! We actually decided to make Charro Del Rey and Steak our tradition for romantic date nights. The carne asada is to die for! Jesus was an amazing server. Can't wait to come back

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.

All the above...the food was amazing..great..delicious..service as well..wonderful and we loved the decor

What an amazing meal. My father and I sat at the bar and had one of the best meals I've ever experienced. I had lobster Tamales (different title that I don't remember) and dad had branzino. Both were super fantastic. The wine that was recommended was fabulous and the service and atmosphere was the best. Made me want to change my old 5 star ratings to 4 to show how great this was.
