This place was very good and authentic. I bought a couple pounds of chicharrones which came in huge slabs. If you just want to snack, it could use some seasoning, but for cooking it's perfect. The menudo was flavorful and thick and came with seasoning and sides. The staff were very busy when we arrived, but the owner was very nice and talkative. He explained everything in detail to my wife while I drooled over all the meat.

This place is a must-visit for authentic Mexican tacos. We tried the carnitas tacos and a horchata, and they were fantastic. Just remember: there’s no seating!! It’s strictly for takeout. But with Harrison Park nearby, it’s the perfect spot for a taco picnic. The owner greeted us warmly and even gave us a cajeta sweet (a very typical candy in Mexico). Highly recommended for taco lovers seeking a real deal ;)

This place was amazing!!! Everyone was so nice and kept letting try different things. The carnitas were the best i've ever had. The worst part of the expirence was that you couldn't eat inside but it didn't matter because the f99d was so good.

Some spectacular meats!!! Many from Mexico would be envious of the great flavor and seasoning they have.I don't know how they achieve this delicious flavor. They are juicy, they have meat, they are just right.THEY HAVE NO PLACE TO EAT THERE.

If you're a carnitas fan then this is your first stop. You need to make it your first stop. This is the standard for which you will base all of your carnitas comparisons to. It's got an industrial, soup kitchen feel inside. Long lines and single file. You better not take too much time. But you want to experience that during your first visit. Then you can order ahead and use the street pick up window. Time saver...
