For a business to still be in operation for 99 years is quite an accomplishment. For a restaurant to be open that long is almost unheard of, but fortunately we Tucsonans have one of the finest and oldest restaurants right in our midst.
This year El Charro Café will be celebrating 99 years in business. And in anticipation for next year’s 100th Anniversary, the Flores family is kicking off ‘A Legacy of Excellence for 99 years’ with a full menu of food and fun.
Surely, when Monica Flin opened her tiny little restaurant in 1922, she had no idea how far her dream would go. Today Flores Concepts has expanded with several El Charro Cafe restaurants, Charro Steak and its sister restaurant, Charro del Ray, Charro Vida with its nod to sustainability and healthful eating and their newest concept, Barrio Charro, a most casual eatery that is packing folks in.
The Flores family has been a part of Tucson since the beginning but not just in the culinary sense. Their contributions in community service and philanthropy are to be admired. They were steps ahead of keeping the restaurants safe for diners with their 100 point plan during this pandemic. All their restaurants are “Ready for You” and are certified by the Tucson City of Gastronomy office.
Today begins a celebration of their legacy with 99th Year Menu, featuring the best of old and new in many delicious ways.
Available at all El Charro Café sights, the following menu is just the beginning of a year-long celebration.
Stay tuned for more events.
