Best carnitas and handmade tortillas ever! My abuela would take me there before she passed and would rave about their quality. One thing about my abuela is that she was a picky eater when it came to Mexican food because she was the cook of the family. I recently stopped by and was able to order 5 lbs of carnitas and 20 tortillas to share with my coworkers for lunch and was in and out in no time. The place is small but the service is quick. I didn't really know how to order because my abuela always did that, but the staff was really helpful. Thanks for making yummy food that brought back pleasant memories! ?

This Sunday, April 7, 2024, I went to buy a pound of meat and the truth is they didn't have any flavor. I don't know if they changed the cook or something happened there, but they had no flavor. I've been there before and they had a good flavor, but this time I disappointed ?

I went there for the first time. I liked the carnitas. No big applause. However, the concept of the restaurant seemed very soulless to me. That thing about arriving (I wanted to eat at the place) and that the first thing you have to do is choose and pay (when what you expect when arriving at a place where you want to eat is to sit and wait to be served), I don't like it. like. Also, how sad is it that you have to pay for each food “that is supposed” to be included in the order of an order of carnitas (pay for the tortillas???!! The onions?!!? The guacamole, I understand, is not so accessible, but isn't it better to include those costs within the cost per pound?). If the intention is not *customer service* and generating a family dining atmosphere (since it looks like a fast food restaurant), I personally eliminated the “dine in” service. Another thing: what a waste of plastic! And unisel and aluminum (all disposable!). The planet is suffering and here everything, everything you consume, comes in a container that you use for a few minutes and then, in the trash! It is a lack of awareness. Very irresponsible.They could wash the dishes, at least. Use a tortilla stand per table, I don't know! They could balance the cost of inputs with even employees who wash them. In short, I was disappointed.

Las carnitas son buenas pero hay unos cuantos trabajadores que parece que los tienen trabajando afuerzas, parece que no les bas a pagar, en primero el señor que estaba cocinando decía que rápido se le digera que queríamos, luego la señora que limpia las mesas tenia una actitud muy descortés y prepotente, si ban a Trabajar así mejor no trabajen
