    Food was so good! Beans and rice were delicious. We ordered the mixed pork. It melts in your mouth. The restraint it's self needs some sprucing up. The ladies behind the counter were not so friendly or welcoming. They do limit you on how much salsa you can take. Overall good for take out.

    This is a little hole in the wall. I really passed it up twice looking for it lol. Was in San Jose and decided to give this place a try. I ordered 3 carnitas tacos with a water, it came out to $10. So it is kind of over priced for just tacos. It comes with just meat and tortillas and you add the toppings yourself. The carnitas are juicy and delicious and they give you alot. No skimping here lol. It is a great place to try I give it 5 stars on the food alone very good.

    Caritas tacos, I dressed them up a bit

    Dang bro! I got to Carnita's taco's! ORALE Holmes! Hella good! The lil salsa bar is pretty legit too. I had to have some help ordering as i dont speak any Spanish, customer in line helped me out. You can get by without any Spanish but if you have any questions.....Anywhoo the Carnita's were really good. I cant wait to try other items too. They sell meat by the pound too. They were out of the chicken and beef that day so im hoping to try those next. The tacos were huge too. 2 Legit 2 Quit!

    Carnita's Tacos...They do not skimp on portion.  loaded with meat and very tasty!!

Admittedly I thought the first time was much better than the second, but now I just know what I would get from now on. Our first time there was on a Saturday for dinner around 7:30pm. The place was busy, and it felt like there was a constant flow of customers. Although we arrived right after a large party, the staff prepped our order really quickly. We got our food no more than 10 minutes. I ordered a camarones street taco, pescado street taco, and side of chips and guac. My husband got a couple of street tacos and a premium taco (forgot what it was called). I found the food to be super affordable, especially the side of guac that was $1.50 for the cup. The differences between the street taco and premium taco were the size of tortillas and toppings. The street taco consisted of meat, cilantro, onions, and sauce, whereas the premium taco had a bigger sized tortillas with meat, beans, and melted cheese. What's amazing is that they don't charge you extra for seafood. All the proteins are the same price. I enjoyed mostly everything I ate. Their chips were bomb. The pescado taco had an edge over the shrimp because of its spicy chipotle crema. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, but I wasn't in love with the red sauce it came with. When we came a few days later on Monday, I ordered shrimp nachos since I enjoyed their chips and shrimp. I'm a huge fan of nachos that melts freshly shredded cheese, which Taqueria Lorena's does, instead of liquified cheese. I appreciated that they didn't skimp on the shrimp. What I didn't like about the nachos was the excess of sour cream. I felt it was such an overkill, and it overpowered the seasoning. The nachos were a miss for me, but if I were to order it again I would certainly opt out of the sour cream or get it on the side.

Unfortunately, the experience ended up being pretty underwhelming. The first thing that surprised me was that every single topping on the burger costs extra. On top of that, I didn't even receive everything I ordered despite dining in. I had ordered chilis on the side and a drink, but neither was given to me until I specifically asked about them. When I asked for the chilis, the cashier told me they had run out and asked if jalapeños were okay instead. I ended up taking the jalapeños, but it was still disappointing considering I went well before closing hours. I also wasn't given my drink cup until I asked for it separately, which made the service feel pretty disorganized overall. The restaurant itself also didn't feel especially clean during my visit. What frustrated me most was that it genuinely felt like I would not have received either of the items I paid for unless I specifically asked for them. Between the missing drink cup and the missing side order, the whole experience came across as pretty careless and disorganized. The burger itself was ok. The patty had no crispy bits or any caramelization so the overall experience felt lackluster given the hype surrounding the place. Maybe I just caught them on an off day, but this visit definitely didn't live up to expectations. I'd consider giving them one more try in the future, though. I would rate the burgers a 2/5, sauce a 2/5 and the fries a 3/5.

The mixed brisket was perfect and the meat was not tough whatsoever. The fat lent juiciness to each bite. This brisket was the perfect vehicle for the BBQ sauces on the table and it was super fun mixing and matching the different flavors. I do wish it had a bit more flavor on its own though, like just a little touch more salt and pepper would've perfected this! Burnt ends : 10/10!!! OMG this was heaven!! The pork belly was perfectly charred and coated in this amazing sweet glaze that kind of reminded me a bit of charsiu, but even better!
