The Black Sheep, Ticoman

The Original Tradition, Closer to You

In the heart of the Ticomán and Lindavista neighborhoods, La Oveja Negra brings the legendary flavor of authentic Hidalgo barbacoa that conquered Mexico City. We are heirs to a rich family history that began more than half a century ago in Santa María la Ribera, and today we extend that legacy to the north of the city with the same pride and dedication.

Our History: A Legacy of Five Generations

Our story is that of a family originally from Tulancingo, Hidalgo, who brought with them their most precious treasure: a secret barbacoa recipe, perfected over five generations. What began as a modest stand on the streets of Santa María la Ribera, thanks to the unparalleled flavor and quality of our product, has become a culinary icon of the city.

La Oveja Negra Ticomán is the continuation of that dream. Founded to share our passion with more families, this branch maintains the essence and flavor that have made us famous.

Quality and Authenticity in Every Dish

Our promise is simple: to serve the best and most authentic barbacoa. To achieve this, we faithfully follow traditional methods. The secret to our unmistakable flavor begins on our own ranch in Hidalgo, where we raise our lambs organically and sustainably.

Every weekend, we prepare barbacoa in earthen ovens, slowly cooked on maguey leaves, just as our ancestors did. The result is tender, juicy meat filled with the aroma of the countryside where we grew up.

A Space for Family and Friends

La Oveja Negra Ticomán isn't just a restaurant; it's a meeting place. We've created a family-friendly and festive atmosphere, perfect for weekend get-togethers, special celebrations, or simply enjoying a soul-warming breakfast or lunch. Pair your barbecue with warm consommé, handmade tortillas, and our traditional salsas for a complete experience.

Our Commitment

Carrying the name of La Oveja Negra is a great responsibility. At our Ticomán branch, we are committed to honoring our heritage, maintaining the highest quality standards and offering the warm service we are known for.

Thank you for being part of our story. We look forward to sharing the authentic taste of tradition with you!
