When you think of Mexico, vibrant images of colorful festivals, lively music, and tantalizing flavors come to mind. At Charro Negro Mexican Restaurant, we bring a slice of this vivacious culture straight to your table. Our diverse menu features a host of regional Mexican specialties, each dish bustling with unique flavors and aromas that promise to ignite your taste buds.

The culinary journey at Charro Negro begins in the bustling streets of Central Mexico, where the rich aromas of traditional dishes fill the air. Our chiles en nogada is a must-try delicacy hailing from Puebla, combining the sweetness of the filling with the creamy, nutty nogada sauce. Rich with history and flavor, this dish encapsulates the spirit of Mexican Independence, making it a fitting choice for those looking to taste a bit of history.

Moving southward, we explore the robust and earthy flavors of Oaxaca, a region admired for its culinary contributions. Known as the land of seven moles, Oaxaca is the birthplace of our rich mole negro, a sauce deeply rooted in tradition and patience, handcrafted with over 20 ingredients including Mexican chocolate, various chiles, and a secret blend of spices. Paired with tender meats, this dish is perfect for patrons interested in experiencing an authentic and complex taste of Mexico.

No culinary exploration of Mexico would be complete without savoring the coastal delights. Charro Negro’s take on camarones a la diabla showcases the fresh, zesty flavors of Mexico’s Pacific coast. Spicy shrimp is the star of this dish, accompanied by a fiery tomato-based sauce that perfectly complements each bite. Seafood enthusiasts will appreciate the balance of spice and taste in this coastal treasure, transporting them to the sunny beaches of Nayarit.

Our journey doesn't stop there. Venture into the heart of the Yucatán peninsula with our cochinita pibil. This slow-roasted pork dish is marinated in citrus and wrapped in banana leaves before cooking to perfection. It’s a taste adventure infused with tangy and earthy spices, crafted to honor the ancient techniques of the Mayan civilization. This dish offers a moment of pure indulgence and is best enjoyed alongside our in-house handmade tortillas for an authentic Yucatecan experience.
