El Charro’s $5 Cinco de Summer

El Charro’s $5 Cinco de Summer

Jun 7, 20141 min read

“Cinco de Summer” at El Charro means a full menu of delicious dishes for just $5 each. Yep, that’s right – five dollars each.

From now until August 31st, you’ll be able to feast on any of these $5 creations from one of the oldest Mexican restaurants in Tucson:

  • Vegetarian Enchiladas with Local Tortillas and Fresh Avocado Salsa
  • Summer’s Best Sonoran Dog Wrapped win Applewood Smoked Bacon and served with Cerveza Fries
  • Prickly Pear BBQ Ranch Chicken on Locally Sourced Tostada
  • Slow Cooked Carnitas “Dip on Alejandro’s Tortilla Factory Telera Bun
  • Taco Pacifico Camaron with Chopped Shrimp Lightly Battered in Cerveza Pacifico

Wash it all down with a chilly, seasonal cocktail, like the Strawberry Blackberry Margarita, Corona Light Chillada, Cancun Style Limeade, and the Ta’Mango with fresh chopped mangos, tequila and Tajin.

For those who prefer a glass of wine (or a bottle if you’re feeling fancy), El Charro is uncorking whites and reds from Settler’s Rise, locally imported from Australia. They’re excited to be one of the first venues to offer Settler’s Rise in the U.S., which you can throw back at $5 a glass.

Current Settler’s Rise 2013 varietals are as follows:

  • Chardonnay
  • Pinot Grigio
  • Shiraz
  • Cab/Merlot Blend

Don’t forget, kids under 10 eat for free Monday-Wednesday, so if it’s too hot to cook, bring ’em on in.

@Seiscantina has permanently closed its Joesler Village location at 1765 E. River Rd., the Muñoz family announced today.

Three Seis Kitchen locations remain open at Tanque Verde Road, Oro Valley, and Mercado San Agustín. The family says guests can still find their favorite dishes and familiar faces at the remaining locations. 

“It is with heavy hearts that we share some bittersweet news. After much reflection, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close our Joesler Village newly rebranded Cantina Location. Saying goodbye to the regular guests who became faces we looked forward to seeing every week, we are truly sorry that we cannot continue serving you here. You turned a simple dining room into a vibrant community gathering place, and for that, we will be forever grateful.”

On a hierarchical tier list of comfort food, mac and cheese ranks among the top. An ideal mac and cheese blends rich creaminess with a kiss of crunch. A velvety cheese sauce coats every noodle without being lumpy or gloppy. Chefs use blend of artisanal cheeses to create depth and sharpness. Roasted poblano, salty cured meat, and crunchy breadcrumbs add texture and complexity without overwhelming the dish. The right pasta shape, such as cavatappi or shells, helps the sauce adhere better than standard elbow macaroni and offers a more toothsome bite.

In this list, we highlight some of the spots with stand-out mac and cheese in Tucson. Share your favorites with us in the comments.🧀
