A Taste of Yuma: The Story in Every Bite

For over 75 years, El Charro has been the heart of authentic Mexican food in Yuma, AZ. We're more than a restaurant; we're a cherished piece of local history, proudly serving Gutierrez family recipes that have made El Charro a Yuma favorite for generations. This is where tradition, family, and flavor come together on every plate.

YUMA'S BEST TACO

Yuma's Best Taco

Our story is best told through our legendary rolled tacos. This isn't just another item on the menu - it's a family recipe that has defined El Charro since 1949. Each one is hand-rolled with care, delivering the perfect crunch and savory filling Yuma locals crave. Bite into carne asada tacos, warm tortillas, and fresh ingredients that bring real El Charro flavor to the table.

THE LEGEND OF THE GREEN SADDLE

The Green Saddle

If you could taste our history in a single dish, it would be the Green Saddle burrito. One of Grandma Lola's most loved creations, this local favorite is packed with green chile con carne, wrapped in a homemade flour tortilla, then smothered with more green chile and melted Monterey Jack cheese.

A Classic Tamale & Enchilada Plate You'll Love

The Letter D Plate is comfort at its finest: a handmade beef tamale smothered in red chile con carne, paired with Mexican rice, refried beans, and a cheese enchilada topped with our signature green chile sauce. It's bold, flavorful, and built on recipes passed down since 1949.
