Tasty. Lots of bold flavors. Each item has a distinctive dressing. Big portions. Nice people. Friendly and happy. Not five stars because: Plate presentation is sloppy. There are so many ingredients that are smothered in various salsas it's impossible to see what you're eating. Tacos are so overloaded that unless you are a magician it's impossible to eat the thing in hand without dropping half of the contents. I know, it's not really a problem because you do get a plastic fork. Three tacos for $16 seems a bit steep. Relax, it is a full meal that even this hungry man with a canine appetite was satisfied upon completion. Are there better fish / seafood tacos in Santa Rosa? I haven't discovered any. Located on exceptionally noisy Sebastopol road in the heart of "downtown" Roseville. Ambiance is loud and the eating area is kind'a grimy. Though kudos to the vendors who have clean up crews who cruise the picnic tent. Glad that I tried the place. Doubt that I'll ever go back. read more

My husband was excited to try Charro Negro based on all the 5 star reviews. I was not familiar with this food truck, so after also reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try. I will say that the seafood is very fresh and tasty. However, someone in that kitchen is very heavy handed with the tasty sauces for each item that I tried. I ordered the fish tacos and the shrimp tostada. First, the serving sizes are very impressive. But when I bit into my first fish taco after only 5 minutes in the take out box, it was so wet with sauce, that it made the entire taco soggy and a huge mess. Immediately the tortillas fell apart and instead of a nice crispy piece of fish, it was also a soggy mess. The shrimp tostada was also a disappointment that way, just drenched in a green avocado sauce. So much sauce that you could not taste anything else. There was a good size portion of shrimp but I couldn't even get to it because of all the sauce. I tasted hubby's calamari from his taco (he ordered the "mixed tacos", 3 tacos). It was still nice and crispy. He also had the octopus taco and a shrimp taco and he seemed to really like them. I am sorry I can't give you 5 stars Charro Negro and I hate to ruin your 5 star run, but someone needs to ease up on the sauce so that you can actually taste the good quality food that you are preparing. read more

YUM and double YUM. We each had the Coctel de Cameron - huge, lots of big fresh shrimp and wonderful flavors. We also shared the Fried Calamari 3 taco plate - also huge. And these aren't just calamari rings - it's the whole calamari - perfectly fried and a nice sauce. Friendly helpful service - we will be back - much to try. read more

The food delicious and the truck is sexy af. The chef used to be at Willis, and the menu is very seafood centric. He takes this super fresh seafood, and adds amazing flavors that compliment to create New Mexican plates that are just so damn good. It's garnished to the T, so you are totally eating with your eyes first. I highly recommend the calamari tacos. It's a flavor and texture bomb in your mouth, in such a refined way... but I did messily gorge myself very quickly with the tacos. The tostadas are also so good! The octopus is cooked so perfectly, like you know that is so fresh because of the texture when you bite into it. It's crunchy and chewy and so good. The shrimps are the same. They are bursting and plump and just waiting to be munched on. I keep saying I'm coming back for those aguachiles and I totally am! They look amazing! Check out their Instagram for totally drool worthy photos. They're open wed - sun from noon to like 8. There's seating outside the truck and there's like a tent situation there. It's not glam by any means, but it's the taco experience you've been waiting for. read more

Wowwwww. So good! This is why California is just the best. First, this truck gathering is super fun and on the drive home from up north, swinging through Santa Rosa for tacos is a great idea. Second, there's music, kids, it's socially distant and you can even eat in your trunk. Charro Negro is delicious. The ceviche was so fresh and flavorful, packed with fish and avocado. The fish tacos were equally fresh and light, loved the salsas and pickles. Will definitely be back to try more read more

Wow! Incredible! Just incredible! By far, the most extraordinary Mexican food truck cuisine I've ever experienced. The food is so delicious, so gourmet, and so complex that one has to do a double-take to remember that the food was prepared in a truck! We ordered the pastor and shrimp quesadilla and three tacos involving some combination of fish, shrimp, and calamari. I felt like I was dining on a terrace in a Mexican seaside village, cooled by the gentle ocean breeze, and surrounded by gorgeous Mamacitas! The ladies who frequent this parking lot oasis are, in general, worthy of the cuisine - much to my wife's chagrin. Just beautiful food and beautiful people! That kind of says it all. One final note - - the tortilla used in the quesadilla was heavenly. It seems that they roll it in egg and infuse it and, perhaps, even marinate it in some delicious melange of ingredients. It reminds me of the Sweet Bread (cow's brain) I ate in my youth during the summers I spent in the Basque Country north of Spain! If I could give this place six stars, I would in a heartbeat! read more

Charro Negro - Shrimp Coctel - Food Trucks Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

This is probably my favorite food truck I've ever encountered. This takes into account my time in Austin, Portland, and The Bay. Head chef for this truck used to be head chef at Willie's Seafood. This is a passion project and it shows. They have a wide menu and all of it comes super fresh from the sea. They have shrimp tacos, fried oyster tacos, fish tacos, and calamari tacos as well as some cool ones I probably don't even know about. Pro tip: They sell them in 3s, but I usually just ask for 3 different ones and they are happy to accommodate. Beyond this there are lots of ceviche options, Costel de Camarones, and all kinds of goodies. Never had a bad bite here. This spot is in the Mi Tote food truck park over in Roseland and well worth a visit. Or two. Or three! read more

The fried fish tacos were super fresh & yummy. Crispy and on top handmade tortillas with pickled onions. The best fish tacos I've had in Sonoma county. Los tacos de pescado frito estaban riquísimos!! Con tortillas hecho a mano, el pescado estaba muy fresco y vino con cebollas encurtidas. Los mejores tacos de pescado frito que he comido en Sonoma county. read more

Used to love it!! It was delicious! Then they went on a winter break, and said they would be back in the spring. Well , they came back last weekend and we were so excited to get their food again and just went today. It's a complete different menu with different owners!! We got the aguachiles, just to give it a chance and It was horrible!! Not the same at all, but still the same price as the old place. Which was a little pricey , but didn't mind paying for it , since it was delicious. But this place was bad.. will not be back read more

Love the fish Tacos here. It's crispy flavorful and fresh. Overall great service! Best Fish Tacos in town

Where are you? You're not at El Mitote in Santa Rosa. Have been looking out for you. No way to reach you by phone. Please update your info. Would like to visit you but impossible to locate ! read more

I revisited this food truck since they took a winter break a couple of months and was very disappointed what they served was nothing like my experience the first time I went there. First off let me say they changed owners as you can tell with there menu. Second I believe they should remove all the pictures from the previous owners offering because the quality of food they serve does not even come close to why the previous owner offered. So my experience I ordered fried calamari nothing like what I had before second thing I ordered were fish and shrimp tacos look like they used fish sticks and breaded shrimp out of the frozen section of your local Safeway. Will not be back overpriced for frozen seafood read more

calamari tacos are everything! Everything is fresh - employees are lovely! Did I mention the calamari tacos?!! Ahh-mazing!!

Wow! Just wow! Stopped by for the first time yesterday. Had the aguachile with the green sauce and that is one big ol cup of yum! Loaded with shrimp and veggies, and rimmed with chile salt, the flavors really pop. And the oyster tacos were even better. Absolutely gorgeous presentation and they tasted even better than they looked. This is not your typical taco truck. This is elevated world class food in a humble location. If you want to try a fresh twist on Mexican flavours, and love seafood then hurry over right now and get some. Delish!! read more

I wish I could put more stars! Omg we just realized this guy came from Willie's seafood santa rosa area and as if I needed a better reason to like them LOL it's fire. I tell everyone I can when it comes up to trying the octopus tacos. I am new to this food truck and only had it 4 delicious times. It is such a treat and an amazing experience if you love seafood. I never had another octopus taco but I'm set on there's. I don't need to try anymore haha! read more

Really tasty Mexican seafood lonchera. Like Mexican meets West County! Beautiful presentation & unique sauces that will have you oohing & aahing over the flavors. Not incredibly inexpensive yet worth every dollar. They always have delicious agua frescas too ~ I've had the piña, sandia, and fresa all delicious & not overly sweetened read more

Delicious fresh food. The fish tacos and shrimp cocktails are my favorite. The chef is doing a great job. Friendly service.

Used to be great food. Looks like they're not in business anymore they're not at the location on their website and the phone doesn't pick up and they don't return any messages. So if you're heading to the food truck spot in Roseland there's lots of great Mexican food but no real seafood. read more

My family got a few items so we could try them all. We got the shrimp tacos, fish tacos, and shrimp al pastor quesadilla. All were very good. The quesadilla was everyone's favorite. In fact we already want to go back (the very next day) to get another. I like that other Mexican food trucks are right there too if you're with someone who doesn't like seafood. read more

Mexican seafood as good as I ever had in Mexico! The oyster tacos were so good and the shrimp cocktail is a feast!

The shrimp quesadilla was definitely worth it, with big chunks of yummy shrimp, the ceviche was pretty good too. Three octopus was a little too tender, but the was overall pretty good. read more

The shrimp ceviche is booommb. I am so glad to have discovered this place. Their food is colorful and gorgeous and as fresh and flavorful as it looks. I called ahead and was greeted by super friendly staff both on the phone and in person. Clear from first impressions that this is good food from good people! read more

Best fish tacos I've found in Santa Rosa! Calamari was tasty as well and not rubbery at all.

The. Bomb. Finally found a truck here as good as in SoCal. Obsessed. Def a lil expensive, but worth the splurge.
