    The bullet casings in the entry brick  wall below the cool murals . A sever made sure to point out the bullet casings & story .
    John K.

    Finally able to visit the new second location of Charro Steak & Del Rey North which initially opened late August 2025. It's been trending on Yelp Tucson and since the opening and have been told very busy reservation's reccomended . Arrived 4pm for late lunch ( opens at 3pm ) without reservations but was seated in the large glassed surrounded dining area formerly Charro Vida. I asked if the cod was available as was highly recommended by one owner Sasha Flores & also Miriam manager at El Charro Ventana, but told it must have been a special as not on the large menu . Ironically, when I visited Charro Vida I had the carne asada which I've also tried at Charro Steak & del Rey first downtown location both were excellent . We decided to forego the apps but were served chips with Charros rustica salsa which is enjoyable & unique ( maybe available to buy bottled to take home). My friend ordered the Charrochurri salmon which comes with a unique topping of with what looked like tomatoes,onions ,chilies, herbs ,& olive oil ask about the topping as might not be accurate . It came with a mesquite charring and a simple tortilla of choice . My friend loves salmon but said would prefer it without the special Charrochurri topping but was satisfied. I pondered eager to try the cod unavailable , so I went with the Charro burger which I've had a couple times before at happy hour downtown ( m-f. 3-6pm) . It's a great steak burger not hamburger I'm told made from a variety of steak cuttings ground into a large half pound (?) burger with a special sauce lettuce tomato and other options available . My last burger downtown I ordered grilled onions but not again as it turned into a true slider " falling apart ,to consider. The steak burger consistently good at this location as well comes with their special fries which I ordered on the side came which was huge severing size we shared . The burger bun has the logo burned in the top & assumed locally made it does its job holding the large burger together. Braxton our helpful, attentive, & enthusiastic server was great ,thank you. The decor was cool in a vaquero steakhouse theme so nicely done by I believe Rey Flores himself who also has a design background . Mesquite everywhere ,tables,chairs , on the posts , and like downtown private room areas in back for parties or work presentations with stacks of mesquite logs creating privacy walls. The large vaquero themed murals at the entry( no good pics check for on Yelp) are very cool & I was asked by a server to notice the unique bullet casings in the brick walls below the mural ! I was impressed with a wall hanging in the dining area made from multiple western belts with buckles intertwined to make a unique large wall hanging ,well done!( picture doesn't do it justice) I must say the decor is as impressive & the food which consistently good as well . I've also tried the highly regarded Lobster Queso Fundido app & tableside guacamole downtown before but not on this visit . Leaving over an hour later the active bar area was buzzing filled and restaurant filling up inside and the outside patio as well. Located in one of the first NW shopping malls by developer Nannini with loads of custom character in burnt adobe & unique individual charm & character . A real plus is the large free parking lot to the west which is much easier to navigate than parking downtown. That said i like both locations . I've been patiently waiting to try the new NW Charro Steak & I will be back !

    I'll start off saying that I'm a big fan of Charles steak downtown and have created many positive memories and have taken many friends and family to enjoy a great meal . So when Charro Charro Vida was rebranded to Charro Steak North, I think there will be great success in this location for my favorite steakhouse. Since this second location opened I have come for dinner multiple times, and the things I enjoy are all carried over. Great cocktails, attentive service, and great entrees. I love their lobster queso fundito served with chicharrones, and also really recommend the prickly pear albondigas for starters. I have enjoyed their seafood entrees but always come back to their the Carne Asada, estillo style. Which tops your entree with cheese and grilled smoky chile strips. What a gem! There are menu options for a variety of diets including their hemp tamales, Hola Hemp Tamales, which are vegan and delicious. If you are in the Casa Adobe's area is such a wonderful option for dinner. They have an outdoor patio seating and their main dining room is so pleasant and has been redecorated with Charro inspired decor. Please check it out.

    House margarita and chips!

    We finally got a chance to try Charro North - we came early on a Thursday and almost had the place to ourselves. The service was excellent. I ordered the summer burger board, both the complimentary chips and the fries were cooked in beef tallow and were just delicious! My house margarita came in a big glass, and also hit the spot! Lots of salt on the rim too! The burger with onions and mushrooms was cooked perfectly, and I loved the vibe inside! The murals and low lighting. I just felt relaxed and really enjoyed the experience!

    We've been going to charro steak downtown for years as an annual wedding anniversary tradition since we got married at the Stilwell House nearby (also owned by the Flores family!). Their food is completely unmatched and oh boy we are so grateful they've brought this wonderful addition to the north side of Tucson. Since they've opened Charro Steak North, we have dined on three separate occasions, and every experience gets better and better. The inside is beautiful and quaint, and the seating is always so comfortable. We always come with a reservation, and we are kindly greeted and seated by the best wait staff in town. The table side guacamole is a must try! They use the freshest avocados, and if my kids were allowed, they would even lick the bowl! We recently tried the seafood tower, and everything was absolutely delectable. The strip,T-bone and filets are incredible. However, my go to is always the Carne Asada skirt steak. The chicken tortilla soup is the best in town. On our last visit, we got one of each dessert, and I am still dreaming about that incredible salted caramel flan! Charro steak is a must try. Supporting this wonderful local family and everything they have brought to our incredible community is a must.

    $3  each happy hour oysters
    Claudia S.

    The new Charro Steak North location is wonderful. This was previously Charro Vida. I love how they opened up the space and the Western vibes. Dwayne is the man, so personable and great service. He even told us the origin story of Caesar salad while making us a table side Caesar. The food was delicious, I especially liked the $3 happy hour oysters. The steak comes with homemade flour tortillas and beans. Very cool that you can request complimentary tallow fried chips and salsa! My only negatives were that the wooden table was uneven/wobbly when cutting a steak and my drink was small, mostly ice.

    Chilled Jumbo Shrimp

    I've been a big fan of Charro Steak & del Rey downtown since they opened, so it's great that Charro Steak has a second location -- and at this one it's a lot easier to find parking! The food is still excellent. If you like escargot, the Charro Escargot is a must-have. Honestly, having tried (and liked) basically everything on the menu, it's my favorite thing they make. The escargot is swimming in garlic butter, topped with carne seca and queso fresco. Add a squeeze of lemon and it's perfection! Other excellent starters and sides include the Chilled Jumbo Shrimp, the Ahi Ceviche, the Charro Fries, and the Serious Brussels. The Carne Asada steak is very good as well, extremely flavorful and well-cooked. You also can't go wrong with the Salmon con Charrochurri, Branzino Veracruz, or the Pollo Asado! Lots of wonderful entree options, and I've also made tapas-style meals out of a few appetizers and sides. Service was pretty slow when we went the other night, which felt a bit surprising, but given other folks' positive service experiences, I'd certainly give them the benefit of the doubt before assuming that was the norm.

    Father's Day special. Charro beans , fresh oysters, Picanha steak (so fine)) with papas fritas and a cold brew
    James C.

    A Pound and a Pint was the Father's Day special. Beautiful interior, great, friendly service. The 16 ounce Picanha steak served is a Brazilian top sirloin cap cut, has rich flavor with a tender texture. The crispy fat cap was so delicious. First pint was included in the special. Best steak I've had in quite awhile. Mixologists pour fine drinks with a Tucson flair.

    Filet mignon with patatas de la casa and fries
    Marion R.

    I love the decor at Charro Steak. The hostesses are delightful. The table for six was perfect. The filet mignon: excellent. Sides:good. Tableside Caesar: an overdressed mess. Hint to the salad team, sometimes less is better. The service: okay. We enjoyed our evening until it was time to pay. The server had a really hard time with this part. She told us our gratuity was included. Unfortunately it took so long to get our checks we all signed and left. Today I noticed a separate $50 and change charge. I was just getting ready to call and inquire about this odd charge when I realized the tip never was included. How can a server get that wrong??? So when you figure $50 was 1/3 of the tip, it was a pricey evening. Annoying, but a really good steak. Probably won't rush back.

    Escargot
    Emma D.

    I love Charro steak downtown. I was pretty disappointed in the special they served on Easter this year. It was Lamb, but it was pretty much inedible. I did end up sending it back because it was 3/4 just fat and I'm pretty sure the server knew when she dropped my food that she shouldn't have dropped it because she did end up coming back in saying that she was just gonna take it off of our check for us. The escargot was great. My husband ordered a steak and shrimp which he thought was great. My daughter didn't particularly like the mac & cheese. It was very dry and my other daughter didn't have any complaints about the kids steak. Overall the service was good. I thought our waitress was very nice and apologetic, but I definitely would never order a holiday special there again. I'm giving it three stars because the food besides the special was still good as well as the service. We had no problem getting a last-minute reservation on Easter night either which was nice because it wasn't too crowded or loud inside.

    I'm so glad this location opened on this side of town! My visit to the new spot was great! The atmosphere felt welcoming and the service was excellent. Our waiter made us feel right at home. Every dish we tried was delicious. I had the Surf & Turf Enchiladas Banderas. They were so flavorful and the Carne Asada was really good too. I'll probably end up getting that the next time I come. The way they bring out the Chiles al Fuego is really cool too and recommend ordering those if you like chiles and want to put on a little experience for your table. All in all this new location is a win. I'll absolutely be returning.

    Cevechi and meatballs
    Jason G.

    First time in and figured, 'let's try it.' The atmosphere is amazing The food menu also looks great. The service could use some work. The manager came out and made it right. He noticed the lack of detail and tool Control. Turned this experience around Memos flight great Not a Bloody Mary fan but tried it and loved it. Ordered ahi cevechi and prickly pear albo. Both really good Ahi took the cake. We will come back for a round two

My partner is a passionate "foodie" who has been a successful food writer/blogger in LA and other cities throughout his career. We have been to so many amazing restaurants in Tucson as well as LA, Phoenix and Chicago. On Thursday, my partner tried to make a dinner reservation for Friday on their website and it was not working, so he called the restaurant and spoke to someone who said they did not have 5:30, but they had a 5:00 open, so we took that. He told her that he tried the website but it wasn't working and she said "that happens all the time". When we arrived on Friday at 5:00, the woman said she didn't see a reservation for us. My partner said that he called the day before and made the reservation, she was very rude, saying they were booked and she did not see a reservation for the 2 of us. My partner reiterated that he called Thursday (he's quite sure that he actually spoke with her) she said she'd try to get us a table, but we needed to be done by 6:30. She instructed someone else to seat us. Within minutes, someone approached our table and introduced himself as the owner and said very loudly and aggressively, so customers could hear "if you ever talk to one of my employees like that again, swearing and using foul language, you'll be banned from the restaurant!" I calmly said to him "he was not rude to her, he absolutely did not swear or use foul language, he does NOT do that." A good manager who cares about his customers would have handled this differently- "good evening. I understand you had issues making a reservation, tell me about that". We have been to so many amazing restaurants in Tucson, no need to patronize a place where the owner treats customers so poorly. We left and went to a very popular restaurant. The place was packed, yet we saw the owner who greeted us and asked if we had a reservation, we said "no". He said "that's ok, I'll get you a table". We had a great experience.

The first thing I need to own is that it's a shame I hadn't visited here before. We arrived at 5:30p and both the bar and patio areas were packed - standing room only, and no wonder. They have one of the better happy hours (daily! 3:00 - 6:30p) - able to accommodate both the slacker and the over-timer Lol. Basic drinks are all discounted such as house wines, well drinks, and beers. Their bottled wines and craft cocktails are all exempt though. Many of their appetizers are also discounted and some quite substantially. We grabbed a glass of the house cabernet ($6, normally $8) and the grilled shrimp wrapped in jalapeno bacon ($13, normally $20). NOTE: happy hour pricing is Only available if you order/consume at the bar or on the patio and that's clear in advance, and understandable. The dining areas were only half full at this early point (but filled up by 6:30) and the host kindly encouraged us to enjoy our starters at the bar as she would hold our table. We were then sat near the "back" of this long venue and frankly, aside from the lone windowed table at the very front, this would be my preferred seating - cozy, intimate, with only five other tables around us. For dinner drinks she got an Italian Nebbiolo Bricco Magno Red Blend ($13/glass, reliably terrific/mellow) and I got the Chupacabra ($15) Mezcal/prickly pear cocktail, strong and excellent as well. We got an additional appetizer: the roasted bone marrow ($19). I had never had marrow before but she raved about how good this can be if done properly (bonus, it is super healthy). Folks, a picture/worth a 1000... suffice to say this was simply outstanding! We both had long work weeks and were craving meat - just a damn good steak. Our waiter, without blinking recommended the 8oz bison filet mignon ($65) as his absolute menu fav, and then the day's special: 14oz ribeye ($50). We ordered each. All dinners come with two sides and we each got the day's special: roasted half artichoke and she got the loaded baked potato while I got the mashed potatoes. Food arrived about 15 minutes later at good temperature (warm/rested with a strong char) with each being accurately grilled (medium and medium-rare). Taste was outstanding. Neither one of us had bison filet before and marveled how it (subtly) added a "wild" edge to an always outstanding, lean-but-tender, cut of beef. The loaded baked was terrific, however, the mashed was the only disappointment... a plainer mash one could not make themselves - pure white and borderline dry, no milk, butter, egg, gravy(?), nothing to make it creamy or add any flavor dimension - a surprise frankly. The only other "critique" is that the dessert menu could add some kind of dark/chocolate concoction. All in all, though, we loved our experience and have decided to add this to our periodic special dinners rotation! Staff was outstanding - just the proper balance of attentive and quiet - and waters never went below half empty. Parking is free and plentiful, especially behind the restaurant (and yes, if you continue on around the back there is another long entrance/exit driveway that comes out the other side of Jimmy John's and Noodleholics.

    Visiting from San Diego and was looking for something other than fast food. Typically, I don't use…read moreGoogle for food options but that's where I found The Saddle. It's right next to the University of Arizona on university and I loved it so much, I came back three nights in a row. Call me a creature of habit, but when you're out of town and you find something excellent, it's worth going back. It definitely has more of a bar vibe than it does a restaurant, but the food I ordered was incredible. If you're hungry, don't look at my pictures. Lol. With that area of town being so crowded, I thought parking was going to be an issue, but I found a spot right near the front of the restaurant every time. I walked right in, ordered at the bar, and was in and out in less than 12 minutes every time. On top of it all, I had the same person helping me from behind the bar each time and she was incredible. Friendly, accommodating, and if I was the manager, she'd be getting a raise. Ask for Alyssa and you won't be disappointed. Needless to say, anytime I am in Tucson, Arizona, I no longer have to search for a restaurant that I like. I'll definitely be back. PS - When they saw me come in for the third night in a row, the chef blessed me with a free slice of raspberry pie. That's quality customer service right there. Love this place.

    I had dinner here with two friends a few hours ago. I had the Green Chili Chicken, which came with…read morespiced zucchini and a bowl of chili ($20). All of it was good though a bit spicy, especially the chili. My friends seemed to enjoy their burgers. The place is more bar than restaurant, and during the school year it will undoubtedly be crowded with students and noisy, but in July it is fairly empty and mellow. Service was friendly but not particularly attentive. The atmosphere is that of a small Western honky-tonk.
