Most of the chairs are very hard solid wood without cushions. If I'm going to pay $60 for a ribeye I want a cushioned chair. The food was great, however. read more

Update: my second time visiting this awesome restaurant. I sat at the bar as there was a waitlist for tables. My evening might've went a different direction if I had got a table. Same friendly vibes as last time. The manager at the host podium was friendly as always. Very welcoming and stopped to check on me a few times in passing. Alex and Patty were working the bar and they make a great team. Alex was funny and attentive. Very personable. Patty was at the other end but seemed very efficient and friendly. She even said she remembered me from last time. Crazy. Tonight I ordered the chicharones with lobster queso dip. A win, no matter the occasion. Creamy, cheesy, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a whole lobster tail in that dip. Lots of meat in there. It was a tough choice, but I forced myself to order something different from last time. Knowing their steaks are a prize on their own, I ventured out on the the halibut. Boy, am I glad I did. It was baked perfectly, moist and flaky and served in a seafood broth that was just scrumptious. I spooned every last drop of that broth. More than one employee stopped to tell me it was their favorite dish too. Which brings me to my favorite part of this visit. It was a server named Peyton. She struck up a conversation about my shirt and it went on from there. She is a young, polite, angel of a girl. If you happen to get her as your server. You will fall in love with her attitude and Aloha. She is a real treasure to this restaurant. Thanks Charro , for another great experience. Smiles all night long and afterward. read more

So nice to see Charro Steak open a new NW location--such a great spot for a relaxed outing with friends. We sat outside, which was really lovely and noticeably quieter than the indoor atmosphere. Charro Vida has now closed and been replaced by Charro Steak North, so this was our first time trying the new concept. The service was fantastic--attentive, kind, and a special shoutout to Julianna for being especially wonderful. It was genuinely refreshing and a big improvement compared to some of the less consistent service experiences in the past at Charro Vida. As a vegetarian (who does eat salmon) and gluten-free, I really enjoyed the salmon dish. Everyone at our table ordered something different, and all of us were very happy with our meals. We also shared a couple of sides, which were great and very shareable. The chips are fried in beef tallow, so I didn't try them, and there wasn't a clear consensus at the table. However, the tableside guacamole was excellent. It is on the pricier side, and while the portions are generous, the entrées don't include sides, so those need to be ordered separately. This, along with the added cost of sides, is what kept it from being a full five-star experience for me. One additional note--the corn tortillas were unfortunately not edible, which also contributed to my rating being a 4 instead of a 5. Overall, a really enjoyable experience and a great addition to the north side. read more

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 ! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Absolutely amazed! From wonderful fish to exquisite steaks and even surf and turf enchiladas this place has something for everybody. The staff was excellent, and the manager even came by to check in on our meal. My friend had a bone in pork chop that was wonderful. I had the surf and turf enchiladas which were covered with three delicious sauces, and my father ordered halibut. I would definitely come back here again. read more

They have the best happy hour! Amazing burger and oysters. Their Caesar salad is made in front of you and so fresh. We love Patty!

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Nothing against the food or the restaurant as both are top notch. This has to do with the Xmas in July Gift Cards. Charging a 10% service fee when buying with cash, remember the old days - cash is God, is simply ridiculous, plain & simply! Other locations in Tucson/Oro Valley do not charge a penny for the service fee. read more

We went to Charro Steak North for happy hour and had the best service we've had in a while. Braxton, our server, didn't hover but was always available at the perfect time. He was very pleasant and anticipated our wishes. read more

Crossed our fingers and hoped that the second time would be the charm. Hubs wanted king crab for his birthday, our mistake for trying again. A half full dining room was still very loud and the service was awful. Even at half full our server was absent more than present. From the time we sat until the time we got the drinks? 20 minutes for a mediocre old fashioned. A glass of wine took halfway through the meal to get and that wasn't our server, it was when we were approached by the manager and we asked for it. $125 ($20 more than it was two months ago) crab was fine, came out without any implements to eat it and wasn't cracked so we waited for a cracker and crab fork. Server then brought a butter warmer but didn't light it. Ahi tostada was not as described; almost all avocado, no spiced peanuts, just disappointing. We have both worked in a large (and small!) kitchen. Hubs was an executive chef throughout the Bay Area. We know sometimes the kitchen has a bad day or the floor does. But no one went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. When the check came we were both surprised to see a line item (optional) to tip the cooks - ironic in that they had so little to do with our dinner but also, why? Wont be back. It seems that they are more well received for steak and hubs is a total steak guy, it's just not why we went. Given the experiences we've had we don't have a good reason to return. read more

We had an enjoyable dinner here, the atmosphere is lovely and the menu has a good variety of options. There were plenty of steaks, good sides and nice that steaks come with beans and tortillas by default. We shared a ribeye which was more than enough to split for us, along with their fries and a split Broadway salad. The food was all very good, really well cooked steak, notably good fries and a lovely bright crunchy salad. The service was hit and miss, with a couple things forgotten throughout the meal and in general, things felt like they took awhile. Our server was nice, it just was a long time to get items. We'd definitely come back for the quality of the food, hopefully the service improves as they continue to be open, especially given the price point and atmosphere. read more

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. read more

I stopped in for a late‑night bite and was so impressed. I had the fresh oysters and a Monica's Martini, and both were fantastic. The free chips and salsa were such a nice touch too. The real standout was the bartender, Tyler! Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. I really want to try the brunch too. The vibe is upscale Southwestern, but very chill and relaxed. This spot is definitely a new fave! read more

Great food and service. The arrival of food is slower but good things take time especially since everything is made to order.

The decor is charro western and feels comfortable read more

What a great addition to the area. They were completely booked online but we took a chance and went anyway and there were several seats open at the bar. Score! The music was perfect and wasn't loud like others mentioned. The ambiance is so cool, like an old western cowboy type place. I love the unique touches with belts and the mural behind the bar is beautiful. We shared the 1/2 lb burger which was $5 off for happy hour (normally $20). Definitely one of the best burgers around, it was cooked perfectly and super juicy. I also got a half salad which was yummy. The chocolate peanut butter tres leches is one of my new favorite desserts in town. It was so light and not overly sweet. We loved every bite. I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

I will definitely be back soon. read more

We came here on a Saturday evening with a reservation. We were sat quickly and enjoyed the lively ambiance with a live guitar player. We ordered the mushroom appetizer which was so rich and creamy and delicious but definitely had a spicy kick! I would recommend if you enjoy a little spice. I ordered the trio of enchiladas which was also fantastic. I definitely recommend. Unfortunately my fiancé ordered the chefs steak special for $60 and the meat was undercooked. When we spoke to the manager he acknowledged that it was rare when we ordered MR. He offered to have it remade but we did not have the time to wait. He then offered us a complimentary dessert, which was kind, but I have found that most higher end restaurants would have taken it off the check. Overall, I would recommend Charro as long as you stick to some of the more well known entrees. read more

Last month we dined at Charro Steak North and I ordered the Charro Skillet with scrambled eggs, papas de la casa and added chorizo, and I'm telling you, this dish absolutely delivered. Fluffy scrambled eggs folded together with seasoned potatoes, peppers mixta, three cheeses melting into every bite, all brought together with that creamy, smoky raja sauce. It's the kind of flavor combination that just works. And the chorizo? It added this incredible depth and spice that took everything to another level. The way the heat from the chorizo played off the richness of the eggs, tres quesos, and that velvety raja sauce, this is the kind of brunch that reminds you why you go out to eat in the first place. This is easily one of the most well-executed brunch dishes I've had in recent memory. With layered flavors, proper seasoning, and components that actually complement each other instead of just sitting on the same plate. Now, if you're not in to spice, I'd skip the chorizo or opt for bacon instead. Overall great experience and even better to have our friend and neighbor Kathy with us! Makes everything much better. Thank you, Kathy for brunch. Bottom line: if their Charro Skillet isn't on your brunch radar for 2026, it should be. You're missing out. read more

Happy hour rocks it. A Burger review plus. Table chips and salsa were very good. We ordered the Grilled side shrimp for $13.85 for our appetizer, vs the cold shrimp. 4 perfectly grilled shrimp. I would even pay more for a larger shrimp though. The Salmon was amazing. Strange nothing came with it for the $$$$ but it was awesome. $34.95. side rice? The Happy Hour price for the burger was well worth it. Added Bacon & Avocado = $20.65. It was very good, but it made me realize smash just might be my new favorite way to have a burger. The paddy was a lot of meat. The Charro sauce is Outstanding. Anyone that remembers the Arctic Circle secret sauce will love Charros. Get an extra sauce to dip your fries in. No need for catsup or mayo here. THE SALDO ZIN GOES REAL WELL WITH THE BURGER fyi. We passed on dessert. Lava CAKE SOUNDED GREAT BUT NO ROOM. WELL DONE Flores family. read more

The hostess greeted us warmly. The bartender Pati made perfect mojitos. Our waitress was superb as well. The ahi ceviche had nice big pieces of fish and had great flavor. The shrimp cocktail had the perfect texture. Mini chimis were loaded with cheese and chiles. I had the blackened swordfish special with a spicy coconut sauce and potatoes. The fish was cooked though and tender. The sauce had a great balance of coconut and spice, neither flavor overpowering the other. The seafood enchiladas were loaded as usual. They normally come with flour tortillas but they had no problem making them with corn on request. My son had the 1/2lb grass fed burger and fries. $5 off during happy hour ($14.95). 3-6pm every day. Added bacon for $2.95 more. The oyster shooters were tasty as well. I have to come back and try the brunch. read more

The evening started out bad and never recovered. We were a party of 5 with a reservation and we had to wait 25 minutes past our reservation time (with no where to sit and wait and it was cold outside). They claimed to have a customer at our reserved table who was there for over 3 hours and they could not ask them to leave. I find that hard to believe, did they arrive at 3:30pm for dinner? Sounds like they overbooked the table. My experience with other high end restaurants is that they tell people that they have another reservation coming at a specific time at the time of the booking so expectations are clear. To make things worse, the manager offered free appetizers (plural) for our long wait. When we finally sat, we were given chips and salsa, and we didn't get to pick appetizers. Clearly a disconnect between the manager and waiter. We ultimately asked if we could have a comped Caesar salad. We didn't need the comp, but we felt it was on principle that we should get the comp the manager insisted we would receive. The service was super slow and lacked coordination (appetizer coming with main meal, big gaps of time between dishes, dessert coming without utensils, no wait staff to be found and constantly having to waive them down, drinks not refilled). Since it was my birthday, they did comp deep fried strawberries, which was nice. Now onto the food. We had steaks, seafood tower, mussels, Caesar salad, Brussel sprouts, and beans (comes with all meals), and a lava cake. The seafood tower comes with 4 beers. We had 2 underaged kids and 2 adults who don't drink alcohol. We wanted the seafood tower and asked if we could sub out the beer and they told us no substitutes. First, I find it odd that the only option to order a seafood tower includes alcohol, second, I find it disappointing that a "high end" restaurant would not make a simple substitution of a beverage. It's not like we're were trying to change the way the food was prepared. The steaks were made to order, the beans were flavorful, Brussels were made well cake with raspberry sauce was good. The comped deep fried strawberries were a bit weird, but a nice gesture. Ambiance: beautiful decor and extremely loud. I generously give 3 stars because the guitar player was excellent, but contributed to the massive amount of noise. Food: 3 stars Service: 2 stars I really wanted to like this place. Tucson needs more upscale restaurants with good food, good service and good ambiance for special occasions. This is not it the place. They are plenty busy, so my observations that their service and ambiance is lacking may not matter to them. What I know is the I will not be returning. read more
