About this business

The dining room is decorated in southwestern colors and with authentic Mexican artifacts. The chef has traveled to and spent a great deal of time in kitchens in Oaxaca and Yucatan, as well as Central America and it shows in the interesting entrees. The enchiladas with mole negro sauce, a mixture of peanuts and chocolate, are boisterous celebrations of Mexican cuisine. All ingredients are prepared fresh daily and selected with care. The full service bar has more than 30 single malt scotches, and 70 brands of tequila.

Overrated, Nice location – Our order: Tortilla Soup, Tacos (1 steak, 1 fish) and the Burrito a la Centro (black bean and rice burrito). Drinks: Strawberry Mojito, and something they called a Paloma (Patron, squirt soda & Lime). We were thoroughly disappointed. Centro's corner location is perfect for socializing, but the food is below average. We went Friday evening around 6pm and had no problem getting a table outside. We ordered the tortilla soup as an appetizer, it was almost the worst tortilla soup we've ever had (and we ... read more

Regional Mexican dishes, avoid weekend nights, people drink too much and get loud – This is one of our "fall back" eateries. My husband is addicted to the enchilada oxacenos; they are fabulous. Tender chicken in a black mole sauce with plaintain, a specialty. They use the doyenne of Mexican cooking for recipes: Dianna Kennedy and they do them well. I always find their salad dressings too acidic and the Caesar is soggy. I many times order from the appetizer menu. They have remodeled, no more motorcycles, new, more comfortable... read more

A delectable plunge into the regional cuisine of Mexico's Yucatan and Oaxacan regions. – The Scene This lively, colorful establishment is an adventure in high-end Mexican food. Be warned, this place is absolutely packed nearly every evening. A motorcycle hangs from the ceiling and the subdued salsa music underscores the conversation. If you've passed by Centro and spied the young, attractive crowd dining outside--and consequently written it off as too trendy--back up and give it a chance. The Food Try the popular pescado al ... read more

Upstairs at Blue Cue – One Friday night me and a couple of friends decided to dine at Centro and then later went upstairs to Blue Cue to hang out with some friends and drink. I would definately recomment the combo for a Friday night if you are young and looking to have a fun time!

Go For The Night Life – Centro's location has made it one of the better places to meet upscale women. They come in from Harlow's next door and the Blue Cue upstairs to sip on high quality tequilas and munch on tasty appetizers. The food is decent, could use a couple more spices but add some of there fresh salsa and it tastes great.
