Less than a month ago, Si Charro! announced that it would be closing Barrio Charro at Prince Road and Campbell Avenue, and then a brand-new restaurant concept would be moving in shortly after. The word is out! The new Si Charro! restaurant has a name: Charro Chico — it loosely translates to “little Charro.”
Charro Chico is designed to be a “fun, fast, fresh, and timely classic” at 3699 N. Campbell Ave. and is still determining its official grand opening. Company president Ray Flores tells us that the idea for the Charro Chico concept has been bouncing around for a while.
After a successful first year of their latest concept The Monica, the Si Charro! team wanted to share a little more of the home cooking recipes inspired by Tia Monica and created by chef Carlotta Flores (Monica’s grandniece and Si Charro! Executive Chef).
“With Charro Chico, you’ll get a lot of flavor,” said Flores. “Charro Chico will showcase our family heritage and the big flavors of Mexican cuisine in the way we love to eat today — smaller plates, fast and easy service, and outstanding quality with options like salsa bars, bowls, and tacos for eat-in, takeout, and online orders.”
The menu will feature a delectable variety of offerings, including a taco bar where guests can customize their selections, and a few of Barrio Charro (the previous location that was closed to make room for this new concept) favorites like the Breakfast Burrito and the Tortas made with local grains.
Charro Chico is located at 3699 N. Campbell Ave. and will be open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. on Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, visit sicharro.com.
