I'm on a special diet and the 1lb carnitas with 6oz pico de gallo is a great deal for a couple of meals. The best carnitas around for sure! Not too greasy or fatty. Great way to hit my protein macros, jajaja!
Carnitas and tortillas was good, customer service could improve, place was clean. Will came back for some more carnitas, for sure.
This place has perfected the carnitas. They only serve carnitas and it doesn't disappoint. The tacos already have a kick to it so adding the salsa is at your discretion. Two tacos was filling enough with great flavors that pretty much made me think about getting one more taco because whyyy not?! The restaurant isn't that big and in my opinion is really meant for take out and quick eats. Service was fast and easy so no complaints there.
Great carnitas (mixto) by the pound. It's not dry or too salty, will be back for more. The lady behind the counter was very cheerful and prompt with my to-go order
