At Citrico, we draw inspiration from the vibrant culinary traditions of the southern states of Mexico, including Tlaxcala, Veracruz, Puebla, Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. Our mission is to serve you authentic Mexican dishes crafted with the freshest ingredients and infused with delightful citric flavors. Step inside our restaurant and be transported 2,000 miles away, to our open kitchen, an atmosphere reminiscent of a cozy Mexican home.

While our journey began with Noor and Luis, who met while working at a small Italian café in Nolita, circumstances have evolved. Noor, driven by her passion for the restaurant and her commitment to our valued clientele, continues to oversee and cater to your needs. With her extensive experience in sales and social media marketing for a food start-up, she ensures that Citrico remains a place where you can indulge in exceptional flavors and warm hospitality.

Luis, a seasoned chef with a decade of experience in New York’s culinary scene, contributed his expertise to the creation of our straightforward yet richly flavorful menu. Together, Noor and Luis shared a deep love for food and a desire to bring their own unique vision to life. After the arrival of their daughter, they embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, combining their culinary prowess and business acumen to establish El Sabor Citrico de Mexico in the heart of Brooklyn.

Noor, now at the helm of Citrico, upholds the values of family-owned and operated establishments, ensuring that you receive the same dedication, quality, and passion that have been the hallmark of our restaurant since its inception in 2014.

Join us at Citrico, where the essence of Mexico’s culinary heritage continues to flourish. We invite you to savor the flavors, embrace the warmth, and become part of our extended family.
