Set Experiences

Two ranch feasts, and a chef in residence.

Each experience is a set menu with a base price you build on — sized to your guest count and shaped by the season. Add stations and courses as you like; travel, gratuity, and New Mexico gross-receipts tax are each their own line at invoicing.

A rustic bowl of cowboy beans with chorizo and fresh cilantro — The Charro signature. 01
The CharroAttended Buffet51–200 Guests

The Charro

A ranch feast in the horseback Charro tradition of Jalisco. The centerpiece — local, regeneratively raised, grass-fed meat — is wood-smoked eighteen hours off site by our partner and delivered hot; a captain and attendants set, tend, and run the buffet through the night. Everything comes on compostable plates and palm-leaf platters — composted after, nothing left behind on your grounds.

A wood-smoked centerpiece, heirloom beans and rice, fresh-pressed tortillas, bright slaws, and house salsas — the full Charro menu, with every add-on and substitution, arrives the moment you inquire.

The Asado

Our fullest expression of the ranch — the open-flame Asado of Argentina and Uruguay, cooked live on site over wood fire. Three chefs work the event, a live-fire grill chef among them at the coals, while a captain leads the room and dinner arrives family-style, passed hand to hand.

A centerpiece cooked live over wood fire, heirloom beans and rice, seasonal salads, and house salsas, family-style — with passed appetizers and a dessert station offered to complete your table. The full Asado menu, its add-ons, and substitutions arrive when you inquire.
