Carnitas Don Pancho Reviews
A no nonsense, hole in the wall place for carnitas! We picked up a takeout order of the family meal which came with 1lb carnitas, side of slaw, tortillas. The meat was a bit dry but otherwise tasty. We added a side of pork beans (which is pureed) which were so delicious and flavorful. We wanted more of the cilantro/onion, salsa mix to make our own little tacos but the meal was yummy and well priced overall.
Just like the name suggests, they specialize in carnitas here. As you approach the building, you should start to get the beautiful aroma of carnitas in the air. Walk into the shop and you can glimpse a giant pot with carnitas in the corner. The menu is simple because there is no need to complicate what is going on. Figure out how much carnitas you want and be ready to enjoy the pork-baed goodness.

I strogly recommend this place if you want to have authentic carnitas michoacanas. A friend of mine recommended the spot a while back but I was hesitant because I know what authentic Carnitas taste like, being that my parents are from Michoacan. From the first time I tried them I knew they were authentic; the family that owns the shop is from Michoacan. They were really nice, friendly and very accomodating when I rolled up with a family of 7.
