This place is seriously The carnitas were delicious--full of flavor, tender, and cooked perfectly. You can definitely tell they take pride in what they make. The mom and daughter were also super sweet and welcoming. Great people, great energy, and even better food! You can tell they put the same love into the food as they do into taking care of their customers. Definitely coming back again. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Carnitas del Bajio - Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Patterson, California

I had the asada tacos, beans & rice. Definitely hit the spot. Customer service was perfect.

The Carnitas Are Fire Whether In a Bowl or Burrito, well worth the wait !! Kind and Courteous.

Finally found an awesome legit Mexican place in San Joaquin Valley here in Patterson. They specialize in Carnitas and it was delicious! Ordered it in tacos and in a quesadilla for the kids. Also tried chicken tacos (surprisingly flavorful), al pastor, and asada - all wonderfully good. The red salsa that came with the tacos was great and builds up to a super spicy level so needed to take a break every now and then. There's a regularly busy crowd here of locals in an unassuming little shopping area. They also have a few other locations so a good record of success. Very reasonable prices unlike a lot of other overpriced restaurants with similar but sadly less yummy food. Must visit this restaurant again! Fortunately, we found this place on Yelp driving back from visiting Dos Rios, California's newest state park located in Modesto. read more

WOW! Stopped in yesterday with a friend for a late breakfast/early lunch. WOW... Felt like Oprah when she interviewed Drew Brees after his Superbowl win with how many wows I said (right before she tried to rub off his birthmark on his face.) Ordered a breafast burrito with carnitas and a plate of chicken nachos. I see why this place is known for their carnitas and I am kicking myself for not stopping in sooner. I live just minutes away and drive past Carnitas Del Bajio weekly. Special ordered the burrito with no guac and no pico, they were kind enough to put it on the side. Shared the plates with my friend. They served it to us already cut in half. The carnitas was SO tender and flavorful. A good size serving in our burrito. The nachos were good as well. I loved the seasoning on their chicken. Came home bragging to my husband how great the food was and will be going back soon. Dining room was busy (which I took as a good sign.) Large coolers with many different sodas, water or jarritos for sale. We grabbed a couple of diet cokes, they were nice and cold. Service was friendly and I was pleasantly surprised with the experience. read more

We are truck drivers and was hungry. We actually looked up and were attempting another restaurant that was down by city hall but when we pulled up it was boarded up and closed and so we remembered seeing CARNITAS del BAJiO in route and decided to pull up!! We are sooo glad we did!! The environment was clean and simple and friendly... We were simply gonna grab n go but once ordered it was only wise to sit relax and enjoy the experience!! The staff was so pleasant and kind and allowed me to sample the chips to see if I wanted the bay chi's before I decided and the chiarons (incorrect spelling I'm sure) were AMAZING.... We ordered more than we could consume but trust we can't wait to eat leftovers!!! read more

Good prices and super good carnitas, my whole family loves coming here! Staff is always nice as well!! :)

Was working near by and found these guys on Yelp. I love me some Carnitas. I arrived just before noon, only 1 person in front of me. So much to choose from I decided on a burrito bowl and 1 taco (on sale for Taco Tuesday $1.25 instead of $2.25). After I ordered the place got packed because of taco Tuesday pricing. I did wait approx 20 minutes for my order but they were busy. My order was Togo, it was just too warm to sit inside. The taco was a street taco two corn tortilla's carnitas, cilantro & salsa. Carnitas were great. The taco salad was the perfect size, carnitas tasted great, hot & fresh. Next time I'm in the area I will get the carnitas plate, that is how good the carnitas is. read more

Carnitas del Bajio - Mexican Near Me - Patterson, California

Got a super burrito. Not bad but could use a salsa to take it to a level where I'd wanna put this in rotation. Might try again and see if they have sides of salsa. Nice crew pretty good service. read more

We have stopped here twice now on our lengthy journey to Lake Tahoe where there are limited options along the way. The carnitas tacos are delicious and so is the salsa! They have different combos or you can order a la carte. The first time i tried the carne asada but the carnitas is definitely the best (hence the name!). I also noticed there are multiple locations which will make future road trips much easier in terms of food options! read more

The best restaurant in Patterson, which might not say much, but I'd actually travel here to eat at this restaurant. It is real food and not the stuff most restaurants are selling that is soaked in salt, sugar, and grease hoping you won't notice the food is crap. The carnitas is really good pork, they have a good selection of interesting sodas which are perfectly cold, the home made horchata and mango are excellent and not too sweet, and the prices are very reasonable. I'm glad I found this place. read more

Stopped for lunch en route to LA... food is made to order, so took longer than typical, but not too long and well worth the wait! We both got pollo burritos and it may have been the best burrito I've had. Flavorful with cilantro in the rice and toasted on the outside. Will definitely stop again! read more

This is my second time eating their carnitas. The first time my nephew brought me some and asked him where he got them from. Carnitas del Bajio. I told him these were the best I have ever had. Today my wife and I took the 45min drive to get some, and let me tell you they did not disappoint. The restaurant had plenty of room to sit there and dine, and the staff were very helpful in helping me order since it was my first time there. I order carnitas costillas buche and cueritos, it came with rice, beans, tortilla, two diferent hot sauce and the othe toppings. I couldn't wait to get home, and like I said they did not disappoint. The carnitas were tender fell off the bone, the buche sweet and tender and the cueritos were not soggy just perfect, just add some lime a little hot sauce and a little salt, perfect for snacking on. read more

The food is not good or bad. I always have high expectations for Mexican food and their carnitas and menu items are nothing special. Most of the time the cashiers do not have the best attitude. I have that whenever you buy food they give you a miserable amount of sauce and lemon, not to mention if you a buy carnitas by pound they get mad when you ask for sauce and condiments to go with it. They sell carnitas by pound but that's it, no sauce, cilantro or cebolla unless asked and given to you with an attitude. One of the places I like to avoid due to bad customer service and their food not having that Mexican authentic touch. read more

Wow!!..... amazing carnitas, buche y cueritos.... I ordered 2lbs carnitas, 1lb of buche y cuerito. I was given complimentary cut up onion, cilantro and lemon with two sides of red salsa and few pieces of chicharrón which was awesome and unexpected. While I was they're I can hear the workers talking very nice to each other and lady was telling other employees "we want them to enjoy their meal" them im assuming us, the customer. Beautiful way of thinking and expressing it to the other employees. Good job!! read more

Food: 4.8/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 2.5/5 I come here often and I must say they always have good carnitas. I usually get about 5 pounds of carnitas with some buche. It tastes even better the next time. I will say they need to work on their rice and beans. Give this place a try. read more

The food is delicious! The carnitas are tender, juicy, and very flavorful. The cuerito and buche (iykyk) are delicious. Even the chicken fajitas, which I'm normally not a fan of, were flavorful. And that guacamole! It was perfect! I recommend everyone go visit this taqueria for the best carnitas I've had in the area. read more

I bought a take out order and every one that had the carnitas, buche and cueritos were impressed of how delicious and authentic the flavor is. We made a botana with tomatoes and onions. My family is from the Brentwood area and they said they haven't had any carnitas, buche or cueritos this delicious. It is worth the drive if you don't live in Patterson. I recommend it. read more

This is our absolute favorite place to eat in the Westley / Patterson area. We love it so much that we eat there daily when we stay there yearly. Of all the mexican food we get traveling, this is the best. So fresh, good quality, and great staff. read more

Hit this joint up while headed back down to LA and it didn't disappoint. We got the 3lb of carnitas family meal and it could've fed at least 6 or 7 people. Fresh tortillas, salsa beans n rice plus a giant 3 liter of Mexican coke, I shit you not. They ran out of buche so I'll try it next time I come up north. read more

The carnitas was amazing! We had the meal for two and there was plenty left over to take home. Service was great! We will be back.

I told this place makes the best burrito bowls and carnitas so I decided to place an order for dinner tonight. I wanted to try the carnitas but they were out so I opted for chicken. It was by far the best burrito bowl I have ever had. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. While everyone is waiting in line at Chipotle...I'll be ordering from here. read more

So good! Got the breakfast burrito with chorizo and loved every bit of it. Was really tempted to grab some carnita tacos for dessert but the burrito ended up being a lot more food than we expected. Can't wait to come back! read more

Best carnitas in town. Buy by the pound and ask for the green sauce you can thank me later

Great service. I am very particular on carnitas and this place is really good. Excellent service and great value.

I ordered the burrito bowl with the side of chips it was so delicious definitely recommend!!!

One of the greatest examples of why you should get authentic small mom and pop shops for breakfast and not get McDonald's. Also Taco Tuesday is by far the best way to enjoy the week. They have a $1 Tacos Special, Breakfast Burritos and good chips. This is not a hot sauce carrying location, but the flavor is all there. You can buy meat by the pound too! read more
