Absolutely fantastic food, I always get more than 1 lb because we know later on we're going to eat it. Absolutely get the guacamole. It is worth every penny. They are closing at the end of the month which is a few days from now and is so depressing because they had the best carnitas I've ever had. You will be missed! So if you get a chance before the end of the year to go and visit, highly recommend highly highly recommend!

Such fantastic carnitas! We bought 2 lbs to split between 8 people, and we only need to add 6 additional corn tortillas because there was so much meat.Almost everything was gluten free! (Carnitas, corn tortillas, and beans were GF, for sure)They're closing down sometime between Dec 27-31. The waitress said that Chef Alex will be reopening next year with a different menu. I recommended they denote what menu items are GF, and/or mention it on their website.I look forward to their reopening!!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free

Delicious carnitas: tender and moist, not dry, greasy, or salty. The beans were delicious. Unfortunately, they'll be closing at the end of the month. Hopefully they'll open again at a different location. I'm glad to have tried their carnitas. Wishing y'all luck on future endeavors.

Been here before the shut down. Came back and had some of the worst carnitas I've had in this city. Dry, dry, dry and stringy. Perhaps I caught them on a bad day.

Great spot for incredible carnitas. Low-key and fun outdoor dining option that has several other restaurant options right next door.

Went in and they hadn’t opened yet. Arrived here 20 minutes early and was told to come back. Door was open so I walked right in. The carnitas a super good. I’m not sure about the time to open.

My favorite local spot. The food is fresh and delicious and the service is great! And most of the menu is gluten free, which is a plus for me! Glad it is cause it one of the few places I can still enjoy....and do!

Quaint little place with window service and Punic tables outside. They are moving next door to a larger facility, hopefully with indoor a/c space. Delicious carnitas and the pickled onions were fantastic.

Although unassuming, this place is fantastic. Carnitas are supreme, but don’t skip the torta especial or fish tacos. I could also chug their salsas by the gallon.
