The Mediterranean-inspired Charrovida, the newest restaurant from the El Charro family, is opening on Wednesday, May 29.
It is the third new concept that the Flores family has launched in three years.
Charrovida 鈥 7109 N. Oracle Road, near West Ina Road 鈥 is a Mediterranean-Sonoran fusion restaurant that borrows from plant-based and sustainable-foods philosophies, a passion for Flores family matriarch Carlotta Flores. The emphasis is on healthy, but with an El Charro focus on flavor and innovation.
Flores will helm the kitchen, using variations of some of the recipes from El Charro Caf茅, which her family opened downtown in 1922, and its Charro Steak and Charro del Rey restaurants.
鈥淚t鈥檚 an opportunity to take our flavors and put them in the center of the plate,鈥 she told the Star in early March.
