Thank you to for including Taco María as one of the most influential restaurants of the past 20 years. What an honor.

And thank you to for putting a name to Alta California cooking and recognizing the impact. Taco María’s wood fire may not be burning at this moment, but the work continues. Adelante.

We made you something special: a salsa negra from one of our favorite chiles, the Pasilla Mixe de Oaxaca. Deeply smoky, with complex dried fruit flavor and medium heat, the chiles are combined with toasted sesame, almond, cocoa nib, and warm spices. Think flavors of mole in salsa negra.

Available for a very limited time: https://www.tacomaria.com/shop/salsa-negra

All three of our salsas negras are back in stock:
chile ancho—mild, fruity
chile morita—medium heat with peanuts
chile de árbol—seriously very hot

Available for pickup at the restaurant and shipping across the country.
