First and foremost, it has an extensive gluten-free menu. They even have mock flour tortillas. I would consider El Charro's an upscale Mexican restaurant, but the prices are still very reasonable. And of course, they are famous for their carne seca that can be had in various dishes such as tacos. Sì Charro's, I love this place and have eaten at all of their restaurants in the Tucson area.

Had a great time at Saffron yesterday. First of all, there are SO many gluten-free options (with the exception of appetizers, but that’s understandable, most are fried). Secondly, the food quality is EXCELLENT. Really enjoyed everything here. My wife, the one with the gluten allergy, had the Chicken Korma, and it was excellent (I tried it). Luis it’s great they offer some northern Indian dishes as well as Southern. I had the saag paneer, also excellent. I went with mild and it was a little hot but still glad I didn’t go with mild (which my wife got for the Korma, she’s less spice tolerant). But the spices are great, the spinach and cheese flavor is excellent, they don’t skimp by ANY means on the portion size overall and on the cubes of farmers cheese specifically. The naan was delicious and warm. The rice is even excellent. And get this, with the take out containers for the leftovers, they offered to include additional rice - who does that? There are restaurants the brow beat you into buying additional rice when you get something to go. Oh by the way, I got samosas to go and they, too, were excellent - great potatoes/peas/spices, love the consistency, and crispy on the outside. Very nice. Service was over the top and I wish I could remember the name of the young man (blond hair), he was a GREAT server (I just don’t have the receipt with me right now). He got drinks quickly, was very personable and helpful with the menu, and generally a pleasant server who enhanced the dining experience. Adding to the great service was a really nice touch of the visit by the manager asking how our experience was, and even providing a gratis rice pudding to go. Outstanding! Then there’s the ambiance. It was fun. I know, some of you are thinking “how can an Indian restaurant be fun?” And the answer is, I’m telling you, we had FUN. Because it was great food, excellent service, and while we didn’t sit at the bar, the bar looks cool and they have not just beer and wine but also mixed drinks. Staff appears to be happy working there and worked well together. I can see this being a go-to for us going forward.

Carrabba's had an inviting atmosphere and pretty good service. I was delighted to find a wide variety of gluten-free options and interesting dishes on the menu. I was really excited to try the chicken trio, but it was disappointing as two of the three were over seasoned, and the third was kind of bland. Sorry to be so picky, but I ate the bland one and left most of the others untouched. The vinaigrette on the salad tasted just like the generic brand at Fry's and probably is, which I wouldn't mind if the restaurant weren't trying so hard to be slightly more upscale. My two companions ordered the same dish, linguine pescatore, and had wildly differing views. One loved it, and the other didn't care it, though I will admit that the one who didn't like it has a very sophisticated palate. All of which just goes to show that taste is subjective. I will give them another chance because it could have been an off day or I just picked the wrong dish. I don't think it's fair to write a restaurant off just because of one experience. I'll update the review when that happens, but it could be awhile.
