Spent the week in Yuma on business and had the opportunity to visit El Charro Cafe once for lunch and once for dinner - both with friends.

Mexican style tacos - loved them! Authentic Mexican on the north side of the border for lunch. Water as my beverage.

Combinacion Numero Uno another night for dinner. A rolled taco, beef tamale, red enchilada, green chile con carne, refried beans, rice and a flour tortilla hit the spot. As for my beverage, I shared a pitcher of Margarita with 1800 Jose Cuervo.

Meals were tasty and well prepared. Tortilla chips with mild and hot sauce served for both lunch and dinner. Plenty of food - I ate it all.

Busy Mexican restaurant that has been around for over 5 decades. Friendly and polite staff - server came back on several occasions to check on us.

Parking is a bit tight - but I can see how that would happen when you are the busiest place in town.
