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.

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 Charro Vida has now closed and been replaced by Charro Steak North, so this was our first time trying the new concept.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.

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!

Dessert Trio

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

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
Betsy L.

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.

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

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 !

Amazing as always!!! The ranch water is essentially a skinny margarita And the oysters were on point Not pictured but amazing....Caesar salad, surf & turf enchiladas, and carne asada. Best date night!

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.

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

Shishito Peppers
Donna Y.

Great food and service. The arrival of food is slower but good things take time especially since everything is made to order. The roasted shishito peppers are served flambé tableside and are in a soy sauce for extra flavor. The steaks are perfection. The noise level isn't too bad for the size of the restaurant. The decor is charro western and feels comfortable

It started with the lack of attention after we were sat. We finally had to wave someone down to ask if anyone was going to take our order. Our server was delightful and super friendly, but unfortunately we were already off to a horrible first impression. We were in for the whole experience so we ordered cocktails, appetizers and their $100 steak hoping this would all live up to the hype. I ordered my sirloin medium and it was definitely on the medium rare to rare side. It was as if they just didn't let it rest long enough. That was my impression because I watched the expo churn out the steaks in a way that seemed rushed. The french fries looked wonderful going out but unfortunately we got the over cooked batch. The dessert was the best! If the management is reading this please don't criticize us for not bringing it to the server's attention. The staff seemed rushed and we just are not comfortable with complaining. We paid $300 for 2 and honestly, I think at those prices your quality assurance should be built in without having to wait for complaining customers to nudge you to course correct.

We shared a meal of Ribs & Half chicken at Daisy Mae's, our only complaint was when we picked up…read morethe ribs the meat fell away from the bone! Delicious! Had a Cadillac margarita - yum! The building has all sorts of funky character which we appreciate over the cookie cutter buildings and slick interiors of many of the resturants you visit when on the road. Service was brisk and pleasant. Make sure you wander about the dining areas as we were leaving my husband spotted the Master Griller behind a glass wall outside another dining room performing his craft! Excellent!

FOOD- my mother-in-law loved the ribs, fall off the bone she said. i had the 14 oz. rib eye it was…read moreok. really thin best part was the baked potato. i ordered a salad with blue cheese dressing and someone thought it was a good idea to put what they thought the amount of dressing i would like on the salad. kids had kid menu food which was good they liked it. my wife ordered the filet. she likes it well done so i have no idea how good it was but she liked it so that makes me happy. my kids ribeye came with a bag of chips yep a bag of lays chips. what? my daughter ordered the kids cheeseburger which i tasted and thought was good. the appetizer chips and salsa i swear the chips were right out of a bag of Tostitos corn tortillas and microwaved to get warm. get the chips from somewhere that makes them we are in Tucson. i could be wrong but my wife and i eat out frequently and order chips and salsa a lot. oh, they came in a red basket with no paper separating the chips from the red picnic basket they put the chips in. that is gross if you go you will see what i mean. ambiance-- the place was pretty empty on a Wednesday, and we were sat i would say in the bar area with 5 or 6 tv's from what looked like 20 years ago. the tables best days were about 20 years ago as well right out of a cafeteria setting. we were sat alongside a table of about 8 that was approximately 1 foot from our table. so close in fact they had put their menus on one of our chairs before we sat down and actually during our meal i needed a napkin and a man from the other table handed me one. when going to a steak house with such great reviews i didn't expect to be seated in the bar area with cafeteria seating with tvs playing everywhere. i was expecting a restaurant meal in a restaurant atmosphere. we were not asked where we preferred to sit. i did see a big room with some people in it when we walked by the doorway. honestly. this restaurant looks like it was frozen in the 1970's. spend some money and update the place. service- the young man was nice. not attentive though he didn't even notice i did not have a setting the whole way through and never did. i grabbed a fork from my 8 year old. here is the thing with me. if you are going to charge good money and come off as a nice steak house don't charge people good money a (couple hundred dollars) and give them a half ass experience. if you want to be a dive that sells steaks price accordingly. we could have gone to a nice place and paid the same amount instead i feel like we went to an outdated restaurant that takes way to many short cuts and has lost its emphasis on a quality experience. maybe if we had gone in 1984 it would have been awesome. there are too many other places to go to for a meal then to spend good money at this outdated 2 star restaurant. sorry

So the building looks dated and so are the turn into the business/parking lot, but don't let that stop you from great food and service.

We didn't have any fancy plans for Memorial Day yet still felt the celebratory elation of a 3-day…read morewknd and decided to treat ourselves to some Friday steaks. 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.

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.
