Since 2007
El Güero was founded in 2007 as a humble food stand, which soon transformed into a mobile food truck. Thanks to the support of our loyal customers and the dedication of the entire family, we took a big step forward by opening our own restaurant in January 2020.
At El Güero, we bring the best carnitas and barbacoa from all over Mansfield, Texas, to your table. Our expertise combines premium meats, fresh vegetables, and the finest ingredients, so you can enjoy an authentic Mexican feast in every bite.
Our STORY
El Güero Carnitas & Barbacoa is a family business founded in 2007 by Israel, originally from Querétaro, and Elena, from Guerrero.
Since they were children, both worked hard in various jobs, learning the seasoning and the entire process of traditional Mexican cuisine. Inspired by their children, Jaqui, Joci, and Jovanni, they have turned their story into a living example of how to achieve the "American Dream." Day after day, Israel and Elena dedicate themselves to the kitchen to offer the best carnitas and barbacoa, keeping alive the authentic traditions of their homelands.
