Frijoles Charros in Winnipeg

About Our Frijoles Charros

In Mexico, charro beans are ranch food: a pot left to simmer while the work gets done, seasoned with onion, garlic, chiles and whatever the kitchen has on hand. Ours follow the same idea. The beans cook slowly so the broth builds body and the flavour goes deep, and they come to the table hot, soupy and generous rather than thick and pasty like a refried bean.

They pair with everything on our menu. Spoon them beside a plate of street tacos, order them next to Mexican Red Rice for the classic combination, or take a container home for lunch the next day. For guests in Wolseley, Crestview and St. James looking for real Mexican comfort food in Winnipeg, this is the side to add.

What Makes Our Frijoles Charros Different

We cook them from dried beans rather than opening a can, and season them in our own kitchen the way they are made in Veracruz. That slow simmer is what gives the broth its depth — it cannot be shortcut, and it is the difference guests notice on the first spoonful.
