In 2002, Charanda Mexican Grill & Cantina began serving people traditional Mexican food.  Our focus has always been to have great food at affordable prices, great service and to create the atmosphere of a family-owned restaurant where our customers are our friends.  We enjoy giving our patrons a taste of Michoacan, Mexico.  Come to Charanda Mexican Grill & Cantina where you will be welcomed and treated like family.

"Charanda" in the Tarasco dialect of the central Mexican state of Michoacan, means a rich, red colored soil.  The combination of this soil with the Michoacan climate is ideal for the cultivation of great, flavorful grains like corn and beans, which have been for centuries a traditional staple of every Mexican kitchen.
