MESA, AZ â After ultimately closing in 2017, El Charro Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge will reopen Wednesday, May 5, at its homestead on the corner of First Street and Country Club Drive in Mesa.
"We're back," said Eva Munoz Otra, the daughter of Freddie Munoz, who opened the Country Club location in 1958 (the family recipes date back to the 1920s, Eva said). Freddie died in 2012 and Munoz's sister, Janet, took over the restaurant, but closed it in 2017 due to health concerns and other issues, she said.
