The Tucson Citizen, along with R. Brooks Jeffery of the University of Arizona, has put together a list of Tucson eateries with long and interesting architectural histories (you may or may not have to register with the site, for free, to view the article).  Included on the list are El Charro (pictured above), built in 1900 by French stonemason Jules Flin, and Pat's Drive-In (both reviewed on this site by Michael Stern).  The oldest building, housing La Cocina Restaurant & Cantina, was built in the 1850's.

Tucson is one of my favorite roadfood cities. El Charro and Pat's Drive-In were two of my favorite places.

Having visited Tucson many times, during our last trip (May 08) we found THE BEST steaks we have EVER had!

They were at Daisy Mae's (sp?) steak house on the West end of town.

They grill the steaks outside over an open mesquite wood fire, and they were just fantastic!

We had their signature steak, the rib-eye. This was a good measure, as rib-eyes are my wife and my favorite cut of beef, comprising about 85% of our beef intake.

Look forward to our next trip there.
