the best in the world!. 21yearsago i married a zonie and visted his home town of mesa on our honeymoon trip from ca. the first day there he took me to el charro - i didn't really care if it was good, great or otherwise. but when i took my first bit of their beef soft taco i was in love. everything on the menu is perfection and very crave-able. besides ca we have lived in tx and currently reside in wa...but we travel to az under the guise of visiting family - but it's really for el charro! we usually stay a week and we eat there twice a day - every day. this is the honest truth. my sweetheart orders the "g" right off - i do the 2 taco dinner - then we work our way around the menu. the chili beef enchilada is unlike any other - not what you could possible expect - it's simply sublime. even the simple cheese crisp is the worlds best - again, it's unique and amazing. when friends from mesa come to visit they are required to bring el charro red sauce. you can't carry it on a plane unless it's frozen - but our friends know what is required to gain entrance to our home... there's an original art rendering of el charro from the 1930's when it opened hanging in the restaurant. because our best buddy (also a zonie) shares our love for el charro he asked the owner if he could get a high quality copy for us as a christmas present. the owner let him and it now hangs proudly in our home. we send friends from all over the nation to this wonderful little bit of mexican food heaven and they all join our throng of enthusiastic fans of the best restaurant in the world!!!!
