Yucatecan American Fusion Food
Our Story
At My Chihuahua Verde, we believe food is more than just a meal—it’s a celebration and an experience. As a family-owned restaurant, we set out to share the vibrant flavors of Yucatán, Mexico, with our community through creative fusion dishes. Our logo features Panucho, the beloved Chihuahua who was born and raised in Yucatán, where his two American owners (us!) lived for over six years and fell in LOVE with the region's cuisine. Now, El Señor Panucho is excited to bring the bold and authentic flavors of Yucatán to Los Angeles, sharing our passion with every dish!
About My Chihuahua Verde
Our Food
Yucatecan food is a vibrant and distinctive cuisine that originates from the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. Influenced by ancient Mayan traditions, Spanish colonization, and regional ingredients, it offers unique flavors and preparations that set it apart from other culinary styles. At My Chihuahua Verde, we offer a fusion of Yucatecan culinary gems mixed with American classics to offer a unique eating experience!
Our Key Ingredients
- Achiote: A bright red-orange spice made from annatto seeds, which is central to our pibil dish for its earthy flavor. (not spicy)
- Citrus: Sour orange is used in the pibil dish's marinade as well as our condiment, providing an amazing hint of tang. (not spicy)
- Habanero Chiles (optional!): These fiery peppers are a staple in Yucatecan cuisine, served in the Yucatecan burger and in the spicy version of our condiment. (spicy)
