In 2008, Gourmet Magazine named El Charro Cafe as, "One of the Top 21 Most Legendary Restaurants in America," and USA Today has named their chimichanga one of the "Top 50 Plates in America!" In 2012, they were voted "Best Mexican" restaurant by the Tucson Lifestlye Magazine's Culinary Awards, in addition to taking the Gold for both "Best Longtime Favorite" and "Best for Out of Town Guests". The birthplace of the chimichanga, El Charro is the oldest, continuous family owned Mexican restaurant in the U.S. since 1922! Specializing in fresh and delicious Sonoran-Tucson-style Mexican food, El Charro won the "Top Gold Medal" from Tuscon Magazine from 2005-2008 and is described as "a taste explosion" by Gourmet Magazine! El Charro also features Toma, a pleasant cantina and patio where connoisseurs can enjoy over 100 premium tequilas, in addition to happy hour festivities. It has also been featured in Bon Appetit, The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times and on Good Morning America and The Today Show.
