My husband and I were passing through Hollister on our way home from Pinnacles and decided to stop here when I read the good reviews on the carnitas burrito. Usually I'm one for a super burrito with all the extra fillings but we decided to split a regular so we could really taste the carnitas itself. So glad we did because it was so flavorful. Very smoky which both of us liked a lot and wasn't dry. We also just loved how kind and accommodating the woman at the register was. I was craving a cold horchata but they cycle through agua fresca flavors and didn't have it today so she let us sample the triple berry cheesecake agua fresca and it was delicious so we got that too. All around glad we picked this spot after our camping adventure. Really hit the spot. Sad we don't live close otherwise we'd be back again with friends! read more

Great customer service. The food was wonderful. Good flavor and a lot of meat. I did however make a mistake on reading the "bowls" ingredients. I thought the Avocado slices were already included in the bowls so I didn't order it with avocados. Thank God I had Avocados at home. Also tried the Aqua Frescoes! Everything was really good. Location is shared with another company. Facility is very cute and very clean. read more

3 Queens Carnitas - Killed it! 3 tacos - Mexican Near Me - Hollister, California

I'm so glad I found 3 Queens! Hollister is not the place when you're hungry and looking for good food. I needed to grab a quick bite before driving an hour back to SJ. I ordered 2 carne asada tacos and the meat was perfectly marinated and filled up. They didn't skimp on the protein, onions, and cilantro. The booth next to the taco counter sold churros and desserts. I really enjoyed my meal at 3 Queens and will come back here with my family. read more

One of the queens needs to relocate to San Jose! I got the nacho fries with half carnitas and half asada. I enjoyed it with the steak better, but the carnitas was super bomb too. I took it out and made a couple of fire ass tacos later for dinner. They give you a good amount of food and their green sauce needs to be bottled and sold. The steak was seasoned so well, I was giving up hope for Mexican taquerias that don't marinate or season their meat enough. I'm not sure what is going on, but some places are really turning down on the flavor. Staff here were super nice and the place was clean. I was really tempted to get a churro from the other vendor in this location, but I can't eat too much fried food in one sitting. I'm not a spring chicken anymore, just a hefty hen lol. read more

Absolutely delish carnitas tacos and homemade salsa! Fast and kind service! Plenty of tables and a cute and clean dinning room. I'll be back next time I am in Hollister! read more

I stopped by today for lunch. Hollister had more than its fair share of Mexican restaurants/ taquerias so it has taken me a while to try this one. The server told me they expanded their menu so they have more than just carnitas, such as chile verde and "Steak". Not on the menu were Tamales. I decided to try the tamales. I chose a Jalapeño & cheese and a carnitas tamale. They came with both a green and a red sauce. I put the green sauce on the jalapeño and the red in the carnitas. I enjoyed both, but I like the carnitas one the best. The masa was thin and light and meat very moist. They are remodeling so I will not comment on the ambiance at this time read more

I stopped by for lunch at your restaurant. Food is gooood. My boys never eat bean and cheese burritos ‍ but yours they ate them up and asked for more. Thank you again for introducing us to your restaurant. read more

Asada tacos are 10/10! So good, lots of flavor and seasoning. The Agua frescas are good. Will keep going back for the asada tacos, but can't wait to try the other items. They have good customer service, Brian is very nice and friendly. read more

They are no longer making sope's. SO disappointed! They were AMAZING!!Tamales "instead". Not interchangeable for us!! Just lost a customer. read more

Walked in and ordered their 1LB pork carnitas and their large tray of rice. They had it ready and packed in about 5 minutes. The pork was on the saltier side, but quite tender. There was a combination of meat and fat, but it was very close to 1 pound. Their rice was pleasantly fluffy and well seasoned. I think listing 32oz "tray" is a little deceiving. I would return since both items lasted me a few meals. Hopefully the carnitas is less salty the next time around. read more

What can I say? First time getting a meal from Three Queens. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. If you're looking for flavor this is the place. I enjoyed the taco plate and the quesadillas. Very flavorful and authentic. Even the bean and cheese burrito was good. The ambiance is street dining and it's shared with a churro establishment and is very welcoming. So when you go get dinner you can get dessert. Life is short, eat dessert first. The service great. They were more than willing to give advice on the menu. Thank you Three Queens read more

Tried this place out yesterday and my husband loved it! Couldn't even wait to get home lol. He got carnitas tacos and chicharron. The tacos were a good size and they even gave us a side of guac with the chicharron. We will definitely be going back! read more

3 Queens Carnitas - CARNITAS TACO - Mexican Near Me - Hollister, California

Delicious carnitas! Juicy, flavorful, well-seasoned and tender. Highly recommend if you're craving carnitas.

Got the carnitas nachos and carnitas rice bowl with my boyfriend and the portions are nice and filling for the price. The carnitas were yummy, soft, and tender, tasted similar to carnitas served at other places. The toppings are generous. The bowl got a bit watery at the end, probably from the pico de gallo. I used the bathroom and there was no soap and when I told the worker, they just said okay. It made me wonder what their sanitation practices are there. They had hand sanitizer but only at the counter. Food is decent, but cleanliness is questionable. read more

3 Queens Carnitas - Carnitas nachos, carnitas rice bowl - Mexican Near Me - Hollister, California

MENU AND FOOD: As their name implies, they specialize in carnitas on a limited variety of Mexican dishes. They have at least 3 flavors of agua fresca each day. SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service is friendly and quick. The dining room decor is clean and simple. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. PARKING: Plenty of parking is available in the lot. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: I had their carnitas nachos 3 times one week! Their full size order can be too big and the mini can be too small. So, it might help to share the full size with another person along with another dish. I would appreciate a larger scoop of guacamole though, and some times they don't give enough toppings for all the chips! Since they have 3 flavors of aqua fresca each day, they are bound to have at least one flavor to your liking. read more

Wow!! If i can give this place a 6 stars, i would! We picked this place on yelp to get a quick bite to eat before heading to a friend's wedding reception. OMG!!! One of the best!!!! Let me tell you....I love their menu... pretty str8tforward..... They have tacos, , quesadilla , burrito... they have carnitas or a healthier option, Veggie! The carnitas tacos was prolly one of the best i've had! Hubby said the Veggie Burrito was on point! Nachos was delish!! We will def order these again and try the other stuff on their menu. Now... for the drinks!! I HIGHLY recommend the strawberry watermelon fresca... soooo refreshing! read more

Delightful flavors of the street tacos that really pop! Charming and simple restaurant with nice staff and a pleasant casual atmosphere. Music was just right. Well worth the drive. Great suggestions on the street tacos too! What a real treat. read more

First bite in, I'm closing my eyes and remembering the first time I witnessed my dad dig a hole in the backyard and bust out the enormous 'caso de cobre' to make carnitas. These carnitas are LEGIT! The nachos plate is huge. Like the to-go container barely closes huge. The ratio is perfect too. Not too much sour cream and the guacamole is not runny so the chips stay crispy well into the dish. Overall, easy 10/10 for me. read more

The service was fantastic. The mixed fruit, lemonade was so good-not too sweet and very refreshing! Can't wait to go back. Very casual, little place with lots to offer. read more

Best carnitas in town with plenty of agua fresca flavors to choose from. Your options are pretty much carnitas or vegetarian, but you may wanna get the carnitas since it's in their name after all. There are some really unique agua fresca flavors here as well & you can ask for samples before committing to one. They also have tamales on the weekend, including dessert ones (strawberry & pineapple). Can't go wrong with anything here! The employees here were always super helpful & friendly. Be sure to check them out! read more

Review is for La Patrona! Now at this location. We went in for some tacos and it did not disappoint! Ordered carnitas tacos and they were full of flavor. Very juicy and delicious. Plenty of salsa and lime. Service was good . Restaurant was clean. I'll be back to order other items on the menu. read more

I mean.... It's "ok." I went with high expectations, given the reviews but it was nothing special. I ordered a carne asada quesadilla. The meat was too salty - bland, otherwise. The salsas... I'm not sure I could call them that (because they don't resemble any other salsa I've ever had). I tried both the red and green. They are more like "sauces." Zero kick and extremely thin, Iike water. The melon water was, again, "ok." Very little flavor but sweet enough to cover it up (I did like their ice, though - looked like they used boiled water since the chips were so clear and crispy). There is a wide array of great Mexican food in East Salinas (from whence we hail) and perhaps my bar is a little too high. The ambiance was nice. It was clean. The service was fine. Good location. read more

Love this place! They have the best aguas in town with new flavors daily. You can find the updates on their ID story. The owners are so friendly and sweet. Their chicharones are top notch as well but really everything is so tasty. Go for the aguas, stay for a bite. read more

They were very attentive with positive energy and Holy cow the tacos were delicious! I'm going back for sure! They even gave me some extra chips and salsa to take home. They made some recommendations for my next trip. I made a fist pump when I took my first bite. read more

As the name says, they specialize in carnitas. The establishment is super clean. I got a veggie bowl as I don't eat carnitas that often, but I was told that the carnitas are a bit greasier than preferred. They are good though. Veggie bowl was good. It contained two slices of avocado, lettuce, pinto beans, Mexican rice, and pico de gallo. Also got the banana ice cream fresca, which is super sweet and very banana-y. Also got the chamoy gummies, which are delicious. Would stop by again, especially for the frescas and gummies. read more

Their carnitas are omg to die for! They are family run and are super nice! Even their bean, rice and cheese burrito are delicious. You can tell they are made with lots of love. Their never ending menu and changeable agua Fresca makes it so much better. But their cantaloupe drink has been the best so far. read more

Only one person up front taking orders, the phone rings and YOU the customer have to wait We came here because this place got some good reviews and we wanted carnitas. They serve shredded carnitas and we like the whole pieces. The pork rinds I don't recommend. The drink was probably the only thing I'd order again. Tables weren't clean, I honestly won't come here again. read more

This is my go to stop for a burrito. Their carnitas are absolutely amazing, which is what you'd expect from a place that ONLY serves dishes made with carnitas. If you're feeling particularly hungry and brave, tackle the nachos. They're MASSIVE and very tasty. My regular is a carnitas burrito with everything, and you're guaranteed to find my family and I there at some point about once a week. They also make fresh aqua Fresca every day in different flavors, so make sure you grab one. They'll give you a taster too to make sure you get the one you like without any guessing involved. The staff here is pretty great. Whether you call in on the phone or walk in, you're going to be treated well, and never feel like you're inconveniencing someone. That's sort of a deal with a lot of modern service jobs. It's easy to have someone treat you like you're getting in the way of their otherwise awesome group text, but you won't get that here. One small word of caution for people who have kids - they do have a Spanish music video channel playing on the TVs in there, and some of the content can be a little spicy if you catch my drift. We've dealt with it by having them sit with their back to the screen, or just carrying out. TL;DR - Their carnitas are bomb. Go in and get some. read more

I loved this place, i am not a huge fan of Carnitas but this was so good. the service was fast, and the food was delicious. the restaurant itself is cute inside, they play music the whole time you're here with music videos on the screen. it was clean and everyone was friendly. i will definitely be back next time in town. read more
