El Charro Cafe history
El Charro Cafe company history timeline
Our Tia Monica, a true entrepreneur and burgeoning chef, came to Tucson via France in the 1800’s when her father Jules, a famous stone-mason, was commissioned to build the city’s pristine St Augustine Cathedral.
Jules, whose signature work can be seen throughout Tucson’s Historic District, also built the families residence in 1896.
Established in 1922, El Charro Café of Tucson, Arizona is The Nation's Oldest Mexican Restaurant in continuous operation by the same family.
In April 1949, Antonio "Tony" and Dolores "Lola" Gutierrez opened El Charro Cafe, which was originally located on 4th Avenue.
Twenty years later, in 1970, the Gutierrez Family built a larger restaurant on 8th Street and 6th Avenue, which is where it is located today.
In 1975, the restaurant was passed on to the eldest son, Raul "Sonny" Gutierrez.
"One of America's 21 Most Legendary Restaurants" - Gourmet Magazine, October, 2008
Although Sonny retired in 2015, he continues to be an integral part of the business and day to day operations.
