The best cooked pork flavorful chicken and steak. The employees are great nice welcoming and they love to give samples to experience their great food and culture. An awesome neighborhood gem.
It would be nice if the cashier treats people with respect? Be nice to people or find another job where you don't have to interact with humans... Being nice is important specially when customers are nice to

If you love your Carnitas, estilo Michoacán.Your in for a treat, premium quality cuts of meat, great flavor and the best part is not so greasy?

My band stopped here before a gig at Blue Island Beer Co. The first thing we noticed was the Mexican meats case and the giant chicharrones displayed in a glass box (a big hit with those who partook). For me, it was the warm homemade tortillas--I am still dreaming of them. The carnitas tacos were very authentic (I am from California, so I should know). The meat is juicy, seasoned and perfectly cooked. Hot sauces, red and green, were provided in squeeze bottles (both were very good with nice heat). You can't go to a place called carnitas and not have carnitas! You won't be disappointed.

Had a craving for carnitas on Sunday but thought it was too late at 1pm. Headed over and ordered 2 lbs of carnitas to share with family. The carnitas were juicy, perfectly salted and flavorful. My only suggestion would be to offer more selection of salsas to choose from but the carnitas were beyond my expectations they gained a loyal customer. Go here to get your pulled pork fix
