The chef and matriarch of all things El Charro, chef Carlotta Flores of Si Charro restaurants, is now a member of the “Forbes 2021 Woman, 50 over 50: Vision.”
The “Vision” group is the third chapter of the series and also features the likes of actress Geena Davis, astronaut Wally Funk, and other visionary women that are “making an impact on society and culture.”
“The 50 Over 50 is a collection of women who, like the speaker, aren’t letting societal expectations dictate their professional timelines,” the website states. “They’re rejecting the conventional wisdom that their best years are behind them, and in so doing, they’re leading a movement.”
To put the selection in perspective, Forbes received more than 10,000 submissions for this round and narrowed it down to just 50 people.
“Together, they embody a new movement of women who reject the idea that the most dynamic part of life is the first half.”
When it comes to big accomplishments, El Charro Café is currently celebrating its 99th anniversary with a special menu, which is definitely something worth biting into.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
