El Charro Negro serves bold Mexican flavors from a park-side truck. The Torta El Charro stacks toasted bread with refried beans, breaded steak, ham, sausage, bacon, Oaxaca cheese, avocado, and chipotle sauce; it comes with a side of crispy fries. The California Burrito hides crispy French fries inside, delivering a crunch with each bite. Carnitas Taco delivers browned pork with crunchy bits for crisp texture.
Skip generic truck bites; go straight for Torta El Charro. For a drink, grab Jarritos.
