El Charrito Market's Gastronomic Experience

At El Charrito Market, every dish is a celebration of the traditional flavors that have been passed down from generation to generation. Our menu is full of delicacies that will make you feel like you are in the heart of Mexico.

Traditional Mexican Dishes

Chilaquiles and Taquitos

These classic Mexican breakfasts are a favorite among customers. Chilaquiles, made with tortilla chips dipped in red or green sauce and served with queso fresco and crema, are the perfect start to any day. The taquitos, crispy and full of flavor, are ideal for an appetizer or a light meal.

Enchiladas and Enmoladas

Enchiladas, stuffed with chicken or cheese and bathed in a rich sauce, are a must-try dish. Enmoladas, a more sophisticated variation with mole, are a delight that captures the essence of Mexican cuisine.

Mole and Other Dishes

Our mole, with its blend of chiles, chocolate and spices, is a culinary masterpiece not to be missed. Other dishes such as fajitas and burritos also stand out for their flavor and authenticity.

Latin Community Dishes

Pupusas and Gorditas

These dishes, originating in El Salvador and Mexico respectively, are a sign of El Charrito Market's commitment to Latin culinary diversity. Pupusas, stuffed with cheese and other ingredients, and gorditas, made from corn dough and filled with meat or beans, are a tribute to family traditions.
